Way too long

I can't believe that it's been over a month since my last post. Yet here I sit, 33 weeks into my pregnancy! I still can't believe that the end is near and my little baby boy's arrival is just around the corner. I feel so unprepared! I'm starting to freak out just a bit. I filled out and turned in all of my FMLA papers for maternity leave. I think I'm going to take ten weeks off to be with him. I can take up to twelve weeks, but only at 50% pay, so not sure I can even afford the ten weeks. We shall see. It would be so nice to be a stay at home mom, but things would be SO tight if I were to do that. Maybe if we have two kids under school age, it would be a little more realistic.

I have my first baby shower on Saturday! My friend Sybil is throwing it for me at my mom's house. I'm really excited. I'm just nervous that not a lot of people will come. I don't have that many friends that live in town, so I'll guess we'll see. I think my husband's mother is planning on throwing me one on Memorial day weekend and then work is throwing me one once the baby is here.

It's so late and I'm utterly exhausted. I guess I didn't want all of April to go by without a single post. I am making a promise to update this more frequently as my due date draws ever nearer...
