35 Weeks and some Shower Pics!

Seriously, does my ticker really say 33 days to go?!?! :::fans self::: o.m.g. Well, considering that I just celebrated my 35/35, I guess that's right! Nick finally put the crib up in Carter's room, and now we are STILL waiting on the glider so I can officially set everything up and decorate, I hate when things are done half ass. I like to get in there and get it all done at once! I will post a pic of the crib at the bottom, it's a little tiny sneak peak into the mini-nursery ;) The area that we had to work with is SO SMALL, but what we did with it, I am really happy, and it's coming together really nice!
As I get closer to having this LO, I am reminded of the friends that I have in my life. It's a little sad at times when I think that people that I thought were "friends" are really self-centered, selfish, bratty people that really think that the entire world revolves around them and their kids. I am also very happy to see everyone of my friends that are TRUE friends, gleam with true happiness for me. Even though they all have their own lives, and we don't get to see each other often, I really appreciate every effort they make to let me know they are thinking of me and that they care, because I try to do the same with them. I have been through a lot this year, and I am glad that through it all, my friends were and still are there for me. It means the world to me. The rest of them can kiss my ass ;) ---vent over--- :)
I am packing my hospital bag this week. My mom and little sister got me a bunch of pj's, 2 robes, slippers and toiletries as part of their shower gift, so now I just need to pack it in the new bag that we have all waiting! I think that was a great gift, and I really appreciate not having to try and get everything together myself! I still have to get Carter's things together and pack up my gorgeous PPB bag that has been sitting in Carter's closet being unused for too long! I can't believe the past 35 weeks flew by the way they did. I can't wait to meet my little boy.

* How far along?: 35 weeks!
* Total weight gain: actually down 2 pounds from my last appointment, the doctor isn't concerned at all b/c I've been retaining a lot of water and just contributed the 4 pound weight gain from my last appointment to that. So, we're at +32 lbs total. wonderful.
* How big is baby?: about 5.5 pounds and around 19 inches long. He's running out of room in there!
* Maternity clothes?: so.sick.of.them.
* Stretch marks?: same
* Sleep?: the past 2 nights I have slept pretty much the whole night through! Woot!
* Best moment this week?: Nick finally putting together Carter's crib and my doctor telling me I only had 2 weeks of work left!
* Movement?: he's been very active lately...still!
* Food cravings?: pumpkin spice lattes. I know, bad, but I cant help myself!
* Labor signs?: none, just some BH's.
* Belly button in or out?: pretty much poking out on the right side, and it's no longer in the center of my belly, still weird.
* What I miss: cute shoes!
* What I'm looking forward to: finishing the nursery, packing the bags, and waiting!
* Milestone: His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

Carter's Nursery Sneak Peak! (just the crib, and still need to hang the letters behind, hang curtains, pics, etc., lol, but it's a start!)

Here are a few pics from my surprise shower last Sunday:




I'm a pregnant peacock ;)
