36 1/2 weeks... any day now
Things are progressing well and I have never been more ready for Chloe to make her grand appearance. My ankles are severely swollen, but I am still being a trooper and working. I have 5 shifts left until my maternity leave begins and my goal is to make it through them so I can spend more time with Chloe when she arrives. We have a few more things to do to Chloe's room and then I will post pictures. Aunt Joyce is coming to stay with us later today, so hopefully we will get things hung and tomorrow Matt's parents are coming so we should be able to get the rest of the furniture up the steps and in her room. She has gotten even more gifts, which I will post pictures of later. Matt has been telling people I am due tomorrow when they ask- silly guy. Last week he predicted that she would come in two weeks... let's hope he is right. Meanwhile, we are looking forward to our anniversary on October 24!

This gift is one of the sweetest! I had a patient's mom that made these bracelets for little Chloe. It was the most unexpected gift yet!
From Cristina Estrada- a swaddler and sweet outfit for little Chloe!! Cristina is due a little less than two weeks after me with little girl, Gemma!
From Jennifer Ladd... A sweet baby book! Jennifer is scheduled to be induced with her baby boy, Ryan, in just 3 days! I can't wait to meet him!
From Michelle Pokrzywinski... actually today is the last day that will be her last name- Chloe and I will be attending her wedding tonight! I have known Michelle since we were 10!
From Holly Kniery... I LOVE these wash clothes! They match the towels that Michelle got Chloe! And of course Chloe will look like a princess with her princess towel!

This was our super cute cake! Jill Williams had this cake made and it tasted as good as it looks! It was chocolate with cream cheese in the middle.
Me and Crissy posing with the cake. Crissy's baby, Lainey is due sometime mid to late October. Lainey and Chloe will be camping buddies!
Posing with Chloe's bathtime duck that tells if the water is to hot. From Molly!
More things from Molly!!! HUGE bottles of bathtime soap, bubble bath and lotion!
Crissy feeling my outie belly button... I am pretty jealous hers hasn't popped out.
Lainey and Chloe waiting to come out!

I was shocked to see how many gifts little Chloe received at her showers. She certainly will not have to worry about being loved as everyone seems to love this little lady already. We are very thankful for everything everyone has gotten her. I went to a work shower on Friday, and Chloe and baby Lainey had the cutest and best tasting shower cake ever and lots of other great food! Then Saturday, we went to Mary Jo's house (my mother in law's friend's house) and there were TONS of people there! A couple of ladies made Chloe the CUTEST diaper cake and his sister and Judy made a baby carriage made out of fruit. I was so busy the whole shower that I personally didn't get a chance to take any pictures, so the only pictures I have are of her gifts. She got around 50 books as the invite said to sign books instead of cards, which was a great idea. The messages inside the books will be special to Chloe.
