Baby Shower

BABY SHOWER

One of the good thing about pregnancy (besides having a baby) is that you get to enjoy this amazing party...I've always loved baby showers because they're really fun! You get to be crazy playing fun games and wining beautiful presents.

Mine was french tea brunch themed and couldn't be more perfect! It took place in the most beautiful garden 40 mins away from the city (so, no dirty noises yohoo!) It all started at 10 a.m with a bar of homemade sweets and bakery accompanied with a cup of tea or coffee, the typical chit chat and girly vanities. Then at 12 p.m the eating table was seated and the party begun.

There were a lot of funny games at the party, my favorite was "Guess the baby's food game";

My amazing hubby found some gross baby food for the game and at the end of the day he end up playing too because everyone told him to...the funny part was that he didn't even recognize what he bought LOL

The other game that I thought it was really cool was "What's in your purse?" there's a list of things you may have in your purse, you have to check them out if you have them, then count the points marked for every item and the person with more points WINS!! The funny part is that some of the items are unusual and others are embarrassing and you have to take them out in order to count your points.

 It took us two days to put up everything for that day but it was oh soo worth it!!

(all natural flowers centerpieces and a jar of homemade macarons for the sweets bar)

(He bought chicken and noodles, squash, beef and veggies and carrots and peas but surprisingly the worst one was bananas) 

(My hubby playing the game; you can notice his puke face LOL)

(It was funny to watch them drinking from a baby bottle)

(Some of the funny things you could have in your purse was a condoms, panties, maxi pads or food)

(They were trying too hard to win LOL)

Everyone got a beautiful present from the party even if they didn't win. Than you all for coming and having a good time with me and my family.

My Third Trimester

(My milestone from 5 1/2 months to 8 1/2 months)

SYMPTOMS & OTHER DISCOMFORTS

This is when everything went crazy. As the pregnancy was coming to the end I felt more and more unconfortable; The main reason was that my belly started to grow sooo fast that within a couple of weeks I was 50% bigger and thats when my ciatica started to bothering me soo much. Also heatburns at the middle of the night came back so I was really tired all the time. 

At the begining of my 8th month I got really sick, the flu was killing me that I couldn't even get up from my bed for a week or so...it was hell but then I got a bust of energy that I started to nest. As some of you may know by this time I started to moving in to my new home so I was really busy all the time moving around stuff and going back and forth from home to home; It was healthy but at the end of the day I was sooo exhausted that only a hot shower helped to calm my soreness.

BABY SHOWER PLANNINGS

Starting this trimester everything was about the baby shower and the planning of it. My mom, my mother-in-law and I did everything and I couldn't be more happy for it. 

I was lucky because I had two baby showers; The first one was in a really beautiful garden with the theme of a french tea brunch and the second one was more an intimte family baby shower, they were more than I expected to be and Im beyond grateful for everything my mom and my mother-in-law did for me and my baby and for the people (family members & friends) that showed up, I got you in a really special place in my hearth. (Also thank you for all the beautiful things you'll bought for my baby girl)

THE LAST MONTH

The last month was more a waiting game. A couple of times I thought I was in labor but they were only braxton hicks that were getting more intense as the baby's head was putting in position. I was  so heavy that I really wanted to do nothing but eating and watching movies all day, and so I did LOL 

My mom did everything to take me away from the couch, she even took me to the mall a few times to walk around but all I wanted was to lay down...
