The Waiting Game

So...less than 30 more days until the expected arrival of Baby Shively, although we wouldn't complain if he decided to come a few days early! Jacob understandingly wants to spend as much time at home with us before school starts, so I'm sure as the days pass we'll have our eyes glued to the calendar. I am trying to patiently wait, and keep myself busy, but that has definitely been a challenge! We finished our childbirth classes, and all already for Baby Shively to make his debut! Last week was pretty boring around here, and I was hunting for things to keep myself occupied (I know-I'll be wishing for all of this peace and quiet in about a month, but I'm used to being busy!)

I did have a nice distraction yesterday when my sister hosted a baby shower for us. This was shower #4, but perhaps one of my favorites because it was my family and friends who were the invitees. We had a nice group of my grandmas, aunts, a few cousins friends come and have a really nice afternoon. Unfortunately my camera sat in its case the entire time, so you'll have to imagine it!

We also went to Laura's dance recital last Friday night. It has been a few years since she was involved, and it was nice seeing her enjoy herself on the stage again, even if you have to sit through a few ballet numbers first!

We kept ourselves busy with our normal work-out routine this morning then Jacob put together the stroller and swing we got at the shower yesterday, and I have been trying to decide which baby clothes to wash first. Exciting times for sure! We'll see what the rest of the week has in store for us. I start my weekly doctor appointments on Wednesday, so I'll try to keep you updated on the latest news then!
