Congratulations Catherine & Eric!

I am 45 days away from my due date and I can't be more excited. I got a SUPER exciting text from Yoder (Catherine Casuag) this morning - that her doc is going to induce.

She's going to have her lil girl tonight or tomorrow at the latest. I am SO excited for her and eric!!! I'm even more anxious to meet Braiden now.

This weekend we picked up the crib/high chair/pack and play from home. My mom had them stored from her daycare client that was handing them down to us. I'm so excited to set it all up when I get home!!!

Aaaaah - I hope these next few weeks FLY - it's going to be SUPER busy and crazy fun.

Braiden's Schedule

Sami called me yesterday as her and Julie were picking up plates etc. from Party City (LOVE these girls so much). I was talking to Sami about how often Braiden moves - and it was funny that I know his schedule already. He's kicking a lot when I first wake up. Then he naps until I have my morning snack/breakfast at work. Then he naps again until a little after lunch, and then he wakes up for HIS full day when I'm winding down at home. He tends to be really active from 6pm - 11pm and I'm sure he moves a lot when I'm sleeping but I'm usually knocked out by 11pm.

:)

I'm so excited to be going to LA on Thursday to see all of my friends and to be able to share my 31st week of pregnancy with them!!! I can't believe it's only 6 more weeks and I'm considered full term. It's such a crazy journey, but I'm so excited! I'm anxious. Jeff and I went to our birthing class this weekend (waste of $160)...we were supposed to go from 9am-4pm on both saturday and sunday - but we skipped sunday because saturday was already painful enough. Never again will i put myself or him through thtat.

Nothing else much to update at this point - I've submitted my proposed maternity leave, and am getting the overnight bag ready and the house ready for B's arrival. I'm holding off on purchasing the homecoming outfit - although I know exactly what im going to get for Braiden if we don't receive any layette outfits at the baby shower(s).

Hope you folks are all doing well!

With Love,
Val & Braiden
