31 WEEKS AND SOME CHANGE

So I'm 31 and a bit weeks... down to the single digit count down.
Little Kate will be here before we know it.

I've had a much better pregnancy with her.
I'm carrying smaller and more comfortably, I've gained a lot less weight with her, than with Luke and once I got through the first 16 weeks, the rest has been pretty easy going for me.

A sweet friend took some belly shots for me yesterday.

It was also my baby shower yesterday. My great friend Rachel, hosted the shower, and a few other friends were kind enough to give her a hand in the food preparation and set up etc. I felt quite loved by the willingness of everyone to do something to help make it a special day :)
It turned out great. We had such yummy food (we had a brunch), and I got some great gifts for little Kate.
What a spoiled little girl she will be :)

Unfortunately, one damper on the day was that I was feeling a little self conscious because an infection I got, resulted in some facial swelling, and so I felt a bit puffy and somewhat like a character from Star Trek. LOL.
Thank goodness for make-up and a sweeping hair style that partly covered my face. LOL
Good thing my friends love me no matter how 'strange' I look.... hehe

So now I get to enjoy sorting through, and washing all of Kate new blankets and clothes etc, and getting the nursery ready for her big debut.
Not long now.. we're very excited :)
