Pregnancy Challenge Day 13
Day 13 ~ How are you preparing for baby?
Well my husband has been doing most of the preparing. We remodeled the apartment we live in (upstairs) from my Mom. She helped us get the front part of the attic turned into a new bedroom for us so Shyann could have the other bedroom for her nursery. Both rooms are just about done. I will handle the deocrating and Steve will handle the rest :) He has repaired and painted the walls purple. We are cleaning the carpets this week so after my baby shower on Saturday we will be ready to start filling up the nursery.
We signed up to take a birthing class that starts Sept 6th and a breastfeeding class on Sept 21st. I am excitied and nervous. Once i see her crib actually set up it will finally hit me that I am having a baby :)

Pregnancy Challenge Day 12
Day 12 ~ How did you tell your parents you were pregnant?
My Mom was actually the first person I told. I felt terrible I did not wait to tell my husband but he was at work and I totally freaked and run downstairs to my Mom's house in a panic. (he was totally OK with it) My Mom was crying and screaming and soooo excitied. (she is awesome like that) I was not expecting to see 2 lines that day. We were trying very hard to get pregnant but for some reason I thought it would take forever. We started to tell alot of people and then I started bleeding and panic struck, thinking I was going to miscarry.......we stopped telling people and just started to pray REALLY hard. At my 6 week sonogram I called my Dad and told him but also warned him we were having issues. He was beyond thrilled and even cried, which shocked me. Steve does not have "parents" per say, His mother passed years ago from breast cancer, so she knew about her granddaughter long before we did. I hope she is up there taking care of her for us tell we get her here on earth. Steve did call his estranged "real" father and then his stepdad. They were both very happy and excitied for us.
Our family and friends cannot wait for this baby to be born. She is so loved by so many already it makes my heart so full.

Pregnancy Challenge Day 11
Day 11 ~ When is your baby shower? What do you have planned or expect?
My baby shower is next Saturday 8/27/11 at my church St Pauls Lutheran in Elma, we are having it in the parish hall. My Mom has paid for just about everything. We are having a butterfly theme since Shyann's nursery is going to be butterflys. We have chocolate butterfly suckers as favors. I made centerpieces out of babywashcloths that look like butterflys. We have about 85 people expected. I hope to have a wonderful time with all my family and friends and welcome our new lil girl into the world. She is loved by so many already, it amazing to see how many people are waiting for her arrival.

Day 10 ~ A picture of your baby bump and how you feel about how you look!
I don't think I look to bad actually ~ My hair is getting so long (I love it) I feel like I do have a glow about me some of the time. I have had alot of acne break outs which is normally VERY rare for me but since I got pregnant its a weekly occurance. I have not had to buy new underwear or bras (YET) only wear stretchy shorts simply for comfort. I have needed to get new shirts thou. Otherwise I think I look pretty good as a preggo.
