How many is too many?

Krispie Kreme that is! Today at school, PTA brought Krispie Kreme donuts to the faculty and staff. I went down to get one, and well...couldn't stop at one. So I'm sitting here now, still in sugar shock, wondering..."when should I have stopped?!"

Showering the baby (and mommy too!)

Ok, so on Sunday September 27th, I had my first baby shower. Emmy gave me the shower at my mom and dad's house, and it was perfect! It was special, and all of those special people on my side of the family came to shower Owen and I. WOW at the gifts! I thought wedding showers were overwhelming, but I believe that baby showers are just as overwhelming. People were everywhere in mom's house, and it was practically standing room only, people kept coming, and with them came gifts. I was amazed, and felt loved. I know Owen is going to be one lucky little guy, because all of these people are so anxiously awaiting his arrival. And, so are we! I have 2 more showers, one on October 14th at school, and another on October 17th, given by Chad's side of the family. This is exciting. :)

This is becoming a habit...

Ok, so it now has officially been a month since my last post, and a lot has gone on. The room is oh so close to being finished! Yay! We came up with THE name...Owen William Painter. FINALLY! We both liked Owen and Wyatt, and so on our way home from Josh and Melissa's beautiful wedding in Beaufort, we discussed it, and came to the conclusion that Owen it was. William is Chad's middle name, and he wanted to use it, so there it is, THE NAME. It has taken us 14 weeks to get to this point, and it feels good to finally be able to call him Owen, instead of "it" or "the baby". Like, while he is being a Mexican jumping bean in my belly, I can now say "Owen is moving like crazy" rather than "the baby/it is moving like crazy" Speaking of Mexican jumping bean, OWEN moves constantly, and I mean constantly! If I am awake, so is he, and he is all over the place. I thought by now he would be too big to move around so much, but boy was I wrong! I will be one of those few who end up with broken ribs, because he is everywhere in there. I am about 33 weeks, maybe 34. I lost count somewhere along the way, I think when they changed my due date, I continued counting like I would have, but in reality it is closer than I think.
