Today is my 29th birthday and I am 35 weeks pregnant. This will be the last birthday I will celebrate before I am forever known as "Mom" to someone. Today has been a busy day. Nick and I started with our first baptism class this morning at St. Louis Catholic Church. The class will meet each Sunday for 4 weeks. After class we went to eat breakfast and then ran some errands. What I really wanted for my birthday was a pedicure. My feet have been aching and swollen a lot the last couple weeks. Nick and I both got deluxe pedicures and enjoyed the massage and paraffin wax treatments. It was Nick's first time to have a pedicure. It was a nice treat!

This weekend we have been busy getting more prepared for the baby's arrival. Nick finished assembling the dresser and last night finished laundering all the baby's clothes. She has a LOT of cute clothes and will be well-dressed in her infancy. We also put the Pack 'n Play together and have continued to buy diapers and wipes with our other purchases when we go to the store. Tomorrow night we will go to Seton Williamson Hospital for our tour of the maternity ward and see where this blessed event will happen. Nick is really excited about that. Oh, and what I am really happy about it my birthday present from Nick. He got me a Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag. He had the bag filled with wrapped goodies such as wipes, lotions, and other baby accessories to keep us clean and organized. Nick really likes buying things for the baby and I have to keep an eye on him because he can go a little crazy at Buy Buy Baby store.
