27 Weeks -- Getting closer

We are now at 27 weeks. Third trimester. 3rd DUDES! Can it really be true?

J's parents are still struggling with their health, so much of our time (and the time of J's sister and husband) has been spent over the last few weeks driving to their side of town to help with household duties and visits to the hospital that we haven't really had time to think about how far we've come in this pregnancy. When I just sat down this morning and checked our stats bars on the bottom of the blog and saw that Nuggette is over 2lbs, growing lashes, and filling up with bebe chub, my heart skipped a beat. Where is this time going? Can we really be so lucky to have this little peanut growing so fast and healthy? We still just can't quite believe it.

So imagine our surprise when J's sister called last week and said that instead of having a small shower in her (gorgeous, fully-finished) basement, she was renting a hall. She was throwing us a Shower with a capital S because we never had a wedding and she wanted this to be special. Her sister is throwing us a SHOWER in the middle of all of the stress and craziness with their parents. Invites went out last week. People are going to be RSVPing soon.

J posted on her FB last week that we are the girls that go to showers, not the girls that have showers. The idea that there is going to be a big party for us is unreal, and we are getting so excited. And just a few short weeks after that big party, our little girl will be here in our arms.

Wow.
