D-Day is Near

I can't believe I have only 2 weeks and few days left before Raffaella is here. Of course due dates are only estimates, so she can be early or late, but I am pretty sure she will come on her due date =).

My hospital bag is packed, we're finishing up a prenatal breastfeeding class tonight, I've been cleaning up a storm and doing all the last minute preparation I can think of. I got my car windows tinted, had the plumber come out and replace the main pipe line from our house to the street. This was suppose to be done like, last year, but we procrastinated because every time we had a backup, we would just call the plumber to come remedy the problem instead of having him fix the problem at the source. There are no excuses this time, so we got it done and luckily it is a one day job.

Last weekend I attended Nanette's shower along with my friends and fellow bloggers Jolene and Alyssa. The shower girl looked so radiant in a white dress, she was glowing from head to toe. Her MIL had the best house to entertain in, it was big and spacious and the backyard was very lush and serene. Everything was done so well, the rabbit themed was too cute. The dessert spread was amazing. I am really bummed that I did not have my camera to capture the fabulous event. You'll have to check out her page for the awesome photo recap. The gift I gave her was incomplete which is another bummer, but the rest of it finally came so I am relieved and I hope she likes it!!

Here's a belly pic of me at 37 weeks and 1 day.




The hubs wanted to see how wide my waist was and boy was it wide, 41 inches wide to be exact =). You can also see my Linea Negra, which is the dark line running up and down my abdomen. The funny thing is that it is off centered, you can see it's kind off to the side of my belly button and the line a little crooked below my belly button.

Wow! Time flies. You really should spend the next two weeks to relax and do absolutely nothing because once the baby arrives that'll be a thing of the past.
