Almost There!

I feel like a lot has happened in the last two weeks and I am really starting to look forward to the next 3! As of right now we have 23 days until me due date, too bad there is no garauntee about the baby being born on that day.
In the last week I have had two more showers, both of which were fantastic. I really want to say thank you agian to everyone who joined us :) Our friends were great and we had a fun, low key shower and got some super cool and useful things. Then my work threw us a shower and got us a swing and bouncy chair, which I am stoked about because they were 2 of 3 items that I was planning to buy if I didn't get them.
I also decided that I really love the idea of cloth diapers so much that I cannot wait until the baby is 10+ pounds to use them...So I got myself a half set of the New Born sized ones and we will use cloth and sposies until Gribble fits in the One Size's. I have to say that kellyscloset and jilliansdrawers have become two of my absolute favorite websites. I seem to check them everyday to see what they have in stock in thier "gently used" sections. When the baby is born we will see how big it is before finishing our New Born stash or adding to our bigger sizes, none the less I can't wait to be able to buy non-gender neutral!
I have one more shower this weekend. My sister, Mary, and stepmom, Shery, are hosting one for my family in GrassValley, it will be really nice to celebrate with them. Nicole is also coming, I am very blessed to have a BFF that is willing to give up nearly a whole month of days off to drive an hour (or more) to do these things with me :)
There is only one more thing on my list of "really wants" so Nicole and I will be doing some shopping/ exchanging after the shower tomorrow. Then all I need to do is wash clothes and organize the babies room.
It's a good thing we have basically everything we need. Last weekend I started to have pretty bad edema and at my Docs apt this week she warned me that my BP is getting kinda high. These are symptoms of Pre-Eclampsia and if my BP goes over the "high" mark they will probably induce me early. Luckily, I will be 37 weeks "full term" on Monday. My Doc also gave me strict orders to start my leave on Wednesday, Jan. 18. While, I had wanted to work until Feb I am happy that she gave me this restriction this week because I have definately reached the "I am ready to be done" place. I am still happy but getting more and more uncomfortable. Taking leave will give Gribble a better chance of baking at least until the first.
I will be back with more when and if our due date changes.
