7 days before Jeremy's due date

Wow, I did not realize it has been almost four weeks since I last posted. Things have been crazy to say the least, but in a good way (I think). Let's see, I had the best baby shower ever thanks to my NeNe. She did such a great job. I had so much fun and we received so many wonderful gifts. I just kept thinking, WOW, Jeremy is truly loved.

I am finally on maternity leave. Can't say that I am missing work as of yet. It was a very stressful last couple of months. They gave me an entirely new program to run on top of the two programs that kick off this month and my pending maternity leave I had to prepare for. Can we say there was not a day I was not completely exhausted and stressed! But thank God I made it through .... without quitting my job. (LOL).

Jeremy is coming along nicely I hear. I have not been very pleased with my Drs. appointments lately though. I am seriously considering switching practices once he is born. Let's just say there are a number of reasons but it is too late for me to switch at this point. I just pray for Jeremy and myself that labor and delivery will run smoothly with no complications.

I am guessing (because the Drs. have not shared this with me) that he is approximately 8 lbs. WOW, that in and of itself frightens. Thank God for the babycenter.com updates sharing certain information with me and all of my friends and family. They are much more informative than the doctors.

Lately I have been VERY uncomfortable. There is rarely a moment when I am comfortable. I am reduced to about 3 hours of sleep because pillows do not help, nor changing positions. Now I see why pregnant women say that they cannot wait for their babies to come. But it does not take away my love or excitement for him. I am very excited to meet him and I hope he is excited to meet me too. All in all I have been feeling great otherwise. I am super emotional. I cry at least once or twice a day. I cried about my Mommy and Mommie yesterday .... completely out of the blue. And today I cried while watching Whitney Houston. And the news- oh my, so many DWIs and grooms dying and people I don't even know I have been shedding tears for. My anxiety level is so high right now. Scary. Richard and NeNe can hardly go anywhere without me worrying, that includes work. I hope this is all a result of the pregnancy and I will return to normal soon.

Pretty soon we will be bringing little Jeremy home. His room is all ready for him and we are uber excited. I need to buy his Redskins jersey so he can wear it on game day when Daddy is wearing his Redskins gear. Yes, we are HUGE Redskins fans in this household.

Well, we shall wait to see if we will be posting next week or not. But here is a link to my baby shower pics. I finally got all of the thank you notes out in the mail TODAY! It took forever!!!! What women have to do?! Daddy did not offer at all (LOL)! I should have waited and had Jeremy help me out..... one little footprint would have been thanks enough, don't you think :)!
