#100 and all showered up
huge milestone - this is my 100th post. if i were awesome, i would have planned accordingly and had a cool giveaway. instead you're stuck with an update.
yesterday was my mom's birthday, and i'm finding myself a little lost today. (no, not about LOST, but did anyone else watch tuesday's episode? i love richard!!) i guess i didn't realize that getting pregnant and preparing to be a mom would make me miss my own. there's so many things i wish i could ask her about her pregnancies, and about what to expect, and what to do, and if she liked being pregnant, if she swelled, how much weight she gained, how her blood pressure was, why the insides of my legs cramp like crazy. the list goes on and on. i recently told daniel that all this baby stuff was making me miss her - and i know it's probably hard on him too...his dad isn't here, either. i hate that emilee will only have one grandparent - it's really hard for me to accept, especially given the relationship i have with my own. the more involved daniel's mom gets in the pregnancy and emilee's upcoming arrival, the more i miss my mom. weird, right? i think i'm slightly delusional...lol. i know that my mom was far from perfect in oh, so many ways. but she was still mine. she may not have always gotten the mom thing right, but i do think she would have loved her granddaughter - and it would have been fun to see them interact. i hope i can find a way to point out the positive things about my mom to emilee some day when she's old enough to understand. in some ways, i guess i just wish she could say she was proud of me...
on a more sunny topic, saturday was my baby shower, and it was everything i had hoped for. my friends did an amazing job pulling it off. we got soooooooo much stuff. we got almost everything we need for emilee, and then some. i still need to pick up a few odds and ends, but the stuff we got will go a long way with preparing for her arrival. here are some pics:

seven
it's been too long since an update. what's new on this end? not much, really. work, work, and more work. i think that's why i struggle with updating this thing - i feel like i never have much to update on. haha.
daniel and i are headed to wv for a long weekend thursday evening. my baby shower is saturday - yay!!! - and then sunday i'm throwing my friend jill's baby shower. i'm pretty excited to see everyone...it's been a long time since i've gotten to visit with most of the people i'll see this weekend.
about the only thing i have going on is the pregnancy. i'm more than seven months pregnant - can you believe that? i hardly can. it's gone by so fast as a whole...though some weeks have seemed longer than others. i did a repeat of the 3 hour glucose test last week, and have been awaiting my results. no news is good news, so i'm hoping i passed. guess we will see. i go back for another checkup tomorrow, so i'm sure i'll find out the results by then at the latest.
emilee has discovered a new trick. she is kicking so hard these days. she and daniel play a game almost every evening now. wherever he puts his hand on my stomach, she'll kick until he moves it. so he'll move it further left or right, and she'll follow him and do it again. they do this for like a 1/2 hour every night. he can't believe it doesn't hurt. it really cracks me up. i do not even know how she knows his hand is there...he's not really pressing hard on my stomach, so i don't know if she just senses the pressure or heat or what. we've also been trying to get her room organized. jill gave me a bunch of baby clothes of madi's, so we've been going through those, and separating everything according to size. i'm trying to stay ahead of the game, but it takes a long time - your washer will hold soooo many baby clothes. :)
my favorite thing about today is a new episode of lost is coming on. i'm seriously addicted. i'm kinda sad it's the final season - and i really just can't figure out what's going on.
okay, i'm done with the randomness. i'll try to update again after this weekend - complete with pictures.
