Down to single digits....WHAAAA??!!

OMG!! 9 days until my due date! Holy shit in a basket, I am so nervous, terrified, excited and anxious. That's alot of emotions. I am nervous about Olivia's and my health during the labor. I have too many what-if scenarios floating in my mind. I am terrified of the pain, the aftermath and the responsibility of taking care of this incredible bebe. I am excited to meet her and shower her with love and affection. I am anxious to hold her, smell her, and bring her home. Yesterday we got alot done but we didn't go visit Antz Mom. We finally put the car seat in my car, and the extra base in Antz car but we still need to take them to a firehouse and ask them if we installed them correctly. Antz printed the shower photos and we finished the scrapbook. Sorry these pics look so crummy

I am picking up my Mom to go to Gilli's today. Then we'll have lunch. Tonight we are having dinner for our friend Roxie who is in town from Hong Kong. I need to go to Giggle to buy the breast pump, bottles and burp cloths. I repacked my bag and it's completely full. Antz hasn't really packed yet but it's fine because all the stuff he would pack is stuff he uses on a daily basis. I am worried we have waay too much stuff but I'd rather have more than less. I should get dressed, I tend to procrastinate on Monday mornings and then I run late all day. I am super tempted to go back to Urban today and buy the Nikes for Antz and get this fedora I tried on. I know I have been spending too much money but I feel like this is our last shopping spree opportunity before Liv is here, lame I know!

Gloomy Monday

It's ridiculous how hot and sunny it was this past weekend and today it's gray and on the verge of rain. Last night my friend Carlos finally uploaded our shower pics. I really feel sick that I didn't take more pre-shower photos of the house and backyard. Antz and I didn't take one instant camera pic together, LAME!

Today I have alot to get done. Top of my list is getting started on the Thank you cards. I gave one to Gilli today. I went to Target and I exchanged the clear protector for my iphone. Just as I was in the shower to get ready for Gilli, Pico Party Rents came to pick up the tables and chairs. Best Buy came this morning to replace a part on the refridgerator. I sent an email with pics to Bill at PF Changs and I posted pics on Sprinkles facebook. I called Giggle to find out who bought us the Eurobath and it still remains a mystery. I tried to make an appt with the new pediatrician we found, Holly Wang, but she isn't available until my due date, June 2nd. Hopefully, I won't go into labor before then but if I do she'll meet us at the hospital. I hope she's awesome because I have no more time to interview docs and she is literally one block from the hospital. Tomorrow I'm ordering the Bugaboo Bee from Amazon. I really hope we can find a place for everything, maybe I can keep it in the trunk of my car. Wednesday Aimee is coming over and we are going to see Babies at the Pasadena Arclight. Last night I didn't sleep so well, my ligament pain has returned and now it's spreading across the top of my pelvis :(

Cirque du Bebe was Fantastic!!

I am super exhausted so this will be quick as possible. We are just getting into bed and I am so FREAKING happy of how amazing our shower was.

The food went so fast I barely could get a picture.

Me and the BFF *Liv's Godmommy*

Olivia's Godparents *Leslie & Stephen*

I am dying over all the lovely gifts!!!

Jeff Victor was an amazing caricaturist!!

Here I am explaining to how to use the Fuji instant camera however, I failed to mention *blame the instructions being in Japanese* that there was an outdoor setting so most of the photos turned out too bright, boo!

Match the celebrity game, only 3 people knew all the celebs

Tarah was the big winner

Papa-to-be

The onesie came out fabulous!

The Sprinkles cupcakes went like lightening

So the not-so-FABulous feathers, they've been nothing but heartache for me. I spent so much money on these showstoppers and just as guests began to arrive what happens? The wind knocks two of the five over and the vase shatters all over my lovely tables. Antz cut his finger cleaning up the mess. We had to lay them down. I didn't get any shots with the up, BOO!

Yesterday's photos of the lovely Feather centerpieces, I should've glued them to a plate like Hostess with the Mostess advised!

Also, I disctinctly remember posing for this photo yet when I looked through all the polaroids, it's missing. Whoever swiped it, please send me a copy!!

Due to the hot sun, we ran out of drinks faster than I anticipated. Lesson learned always over purchase water!! I had 3 cases of 24 bottles and they were gone before we served lunch.

Me & my Gilli *acupuncturist/doula* Love Her!!!

We were forced to move the party indoors cause everyone including me was melting so we played the drink the baby bottle game and opening the pressies

Our loot!!

Every single person showed up, the weather was beautiful but extremely sunny and the *horrible* neighbors were nice and quiet!! I couldn't have asked for a better day. I have been crying with gratitude from my friends and family's kindness. The party went so well that people stayed and hung out inside our house well past the end of the shower. We have a lot of food leftover but only 3 cupcakes left. All the guests took pics with our Fuji instant camera and I need to put them in Liv's scrapbook.

The candids

We still haven't opened all the gifts but I am super excited about 2 in particular our daughter's Godmother Leslie, gave us a rad Björk doll from Etsy!!!

I was screaming when I opened it!! My other friend, Kim made special *Björk swan dress wrapping paper* for our gifts. How fucking rad is that?! My friends are amazing.

I LOVE my friends and family so much. Everyone wrote wishes for Olivia and I was full-on crying when we read them tonight. Some were sooo sweet and some were seriously funny.

Jeff, our caracaturist was a HUGE hit, he made everyone look hilarious, I LOVE ours.

Kim & Warren, I LOVE IT

I am so majorly happy happy how nice everything was. Everyone loved our nursery and kept telling us how lucky our daughter will be. I can't stop grinning from ear to ear. The one thing that sucks is I didn't take as many pics with our camera as I should have because I was so busy mingling and running the games. I am super stoked about the photos my friend Carlos took. Hope he sends them to me soon! I am seriously dead-tired so I need to hit the pillow but I can't believe Cirque du Bebe is over.
