We went for my check up yesterday, which begins the weekly visits until Luke arrives! Everything was fine... my blood pressure was still up but okay.. Luke's little heartbeat was perfect and he is head down and ready to go... hopefully in the next 2 weeks but I was told by my mean ol' midwife (just kidding M) it could still be another 5 weeks.. and to mentally prepare haha I don't want to think about that!!
I think its funny how as a doula I know about this whole process and the topics that we have been going over this whole pregnancy, but to be going through it myself for the first time as a mom, I just don't know the same stuff... like I know what I would tell my client, but I still look for my own support and advice as a mom and not a doula. Its a little weird!

READY TO POP!
August brings so many great things like the campground (for those of you that live here in Catawba) My homemade Rhubarb pie, homemade ice cream, family and friends, and childhood memories but I am especially looking forward to meeting my little guy! If not in August, the very beginning of September! Although, an August birthday would be wonderful, for many reasons, top of the list: MY CANKLES! haha
We are getting very excited and anxious, I think Brett is a little more nervous than me because he is terrified of hearing, "ITS BABY TIME" haha I know I still have a few more weeks, but that man is nervous! Its cute though!
I would love to say that the nursery is ALL DONE, and Luke ready.. but I can't.. and it is stressing me out!
We have unfortunately become victims to fleas, not a gross infestation but we have a few lingerers.. and surprisingly.. NO they did not come from our cat, because he has never been outside, strictly a house cat! We figured out that Brett and I have brought them in on us, mostly Brett though.. haha
We have done just about everything short of shaving the cat and moving!But you can see my frustration because I cant get anything out baby related because we are having to spray for fleas, and I don't want to have to worry about those chemicals! So it is very upsetting for me and my cat because he is banished from our bed, the nursery (which is his new favorite) and he has to be put up at night... not to mention the 5 baths that I had to give him in the last 3 weeks (I am totally aware that is entirely too many for cat) but it had to be done, and he still has the little buggers!
Anywho.. I have been able to get just about everything we need for the baby, thanks to the awesome ladies that came to my baby showers!
Here is a project I did yesterday for his shades.. took 3 hours total and no sewing!
I am obsessed with chevron!!! haha
So that is all for now! :)
