The most exciting thing is that I had my baby shower. We only had one last minute cancellation and I think there were about 8 of us total. It was short and sweet and really nice. I think people had a good time - they stayed about an hour past the end time and we went through about 2 bottles of champagne. Everyone brought gifts, which was surprising. Mostly diapers and a few cute onsies.
My hosteses both though the shower was a huge success. I didn't fell that way, but I'm glad they did :)
I got some sweet texts too from 2 of my sister-in-laws, mom, MIL, and one of my friends that couldn't make it. Those were all very sweet.
Since we are not setting up a nursery before the baby gets here, we are putting effort into making space in the house and getting our bedroom set up (where fire baby will sleep for a while). The biggest change we did was add custom, wall-mounted nightstands. 1) to make the room look nicer 2) to make more room next to the bed for the bassinet. So, those just got installed a few days ago and I love them. The varnish smell is still in the room, but is finally fading.
I had a facial in the last week too - I paid for it with my birthday gift card from TL. It wasn't special to prenatal, but it was pregnancy-safe. Overall, not that great. I won't be going back. One strange thing that happened was as I was laying down, fire baby was pushing on my lungs so hard I couldn't breath - to the point that I started coughing and could hardly talk! The tech propped me up a little bit more and then things got better.
Another room prep thing we are doing is taking Sean's current dresser and moving it into our room for the baby dresser/changing table. So, we had to buy him a new dresser. We were hoping to buy used, but couldn't find something that we all liked. I found a really great one new, but it was about $700 before tax. At the last min, we found something on Facebook marketplace and now we are all set up. Which means I can start washing and putting away baby items. Yikes
The last new thing that happened recently was that I went to a chiropractor that specialized in pregnancy. The apt was an hour long and I was told she works really hard on you - well, she does. She beat the shit out of me for 30min! I couldn't talk I was in so much pain / lungs being squished I had a bad headache for the next day, exhausted, and I broke out in a full body sweat while on the table. I only went to see her per multiple recommendations from my midwife team, but overall still not interested. I was hoping to see what she thought about being able to help turn a breech baby if that scenario presented itself, but even she said there isn't much evidence for it - it it worked it could have also been a coincidence. So... not likely I'll be back. Oh! She did find that I had a few ribs popped out of place on both sides. She put those back...but from what I know, they will pop back out eventually.
