In just about 2 months Baby P will be here :) I've turned into one of those girls that is baby obsessed. It's safe to say about 99% of my decisions are influenced on the baby.
For example:
- Should we meet up with friends for dinner during the week, or should we work on the nursery? Nursery
- Should I go to Nordstrom and get that dress I've been eying, or should I shop for a going home outfit for baby? Going Home Outfit
-Should we watch the Olympics or rent "The Happiest Baby on the Block?"- Happiest Baby on the Block wins out....
It's so funny to me that this little baby, that isn't here yet, is already dictating my life...and I love it. It has been a crazy experience...I have bigger boobs, a bigger tummy, less energy, strange cravings, raging hormones, forgetfulness and a whole slew of other things that sound completely crazy but I couldn't be more content. I guess a lot of it has to do with all of the support that I have. JP has been even more amazing than normal (if that's even possible). He has put up with my crazy mood swings, indulged me in every craving I throw his way and has made sure that my life has been as easy as possible. He's wonderful and I know I say this a lot but I'm the luckiest girl alive. In addition to being married to such a great guy I have parents who are always there to help out. They have been over at our house every chance they get helping us out with the million things we have on our pre-baby to-do list. They're wonderful and they set the bar really high when it comes to great parents. Our baby will be the most spoiled baby around thanks to them :)
Aside from JP and my folks we have wonderful people all around. I keep saying this but it's so nice to have girlfriends to call and get advice from. Friends that I haven't talked to in years have been quick to offer their wonderful advice and recommendations and it's just overwhelming how much support and love I feel everyday from the most unexpected sources.
Speaking of wonderful people...JP's coworkers, who have become like a second family to us, threw us our first baby shower! We had such a fun time and our baby got so many amazing gifts. We were literally blown away with all of the effort they put in for us. It makes this special time in our lives feel even more special.

Daisy's picture with Neiman is PRICELESS! Not to mention, it really helps put in perspective just how GIANT Neiman is! He'll be a great height reference for Baby P. :)
