9 months!

Okay so I am now 37 weeks!!! This baby could come any day now! How exciting and terrifying :) Well in the last couple of weeks we had a baby shower, it was sooo beautiful! I am so thankful to all my family and friends for showing Daisy and I so much love. This girl is gonna be one fashionista with all the cute clothes and accessories she has already. As far as the pregnancy goes I am getting to the "I'm done" point :) I really do feel like she will be here sooner than her due date which is the 30th of this month. I feel so many Braxton hicks (fake contractions) and cramping and bladder pressure! I have a dr.s visit tomorrow morning so I will find out if I have dialated at all! I had a little scare this last week with swollen feet and legs, they were HUGE! I felt like I couldn't bend my knees it was a little nerve racking but my doctor convinced me it was normal and that the baby is moving down therefore limiting the blood flow to my legs and feet.
We have one more shower tomorrow night with the ladies from my church, its dessert themed so you can imagine how much I am looking forward to THAT!
I would like to personally thank my Mom for working so hard on Daisy's quilt, I know it was not easy, and it turned out perfect! I would also like to thank Cassie (my best friend) for making the bed skirt, pillows and an extra blanket its exactly what I wanted :) Thank you to my mother in law Gabe for all your hard and creative work on the shower, your a pro!
And last but not least my sisters Lisi and Jen for helping make it fun!
I feel so blessed to have so many women in my life that care! If you were at my shower (or if you couldn't come but blessed us with gifts), Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I will try and keep you all posted on the progress of my last weeks :) Please keep Daisy and I in your prayers for a safe and healthy delivery.
God Bless, Emily
