Thirty Seven Weeks

Little Luigi, my little watermelon (yes, I know, I said I was giving up on the fruit, but a watermelon is very relatable, and your Daddy loves them), this week marked my last day of work until sometime next spring. I can't deny, carrying around a watermelon in my belly has gotten a bit tiring. Not to mention that sleep is getting harder and harder to come by. I was very tired this week, and decided to depart work a week earlier than planned. Thursday morning, when I got to the hospital for a check up, I went to lock the car, and clip my keys to my purse, which I have started to do so I don't constantly loose them in the bottom of my bag. The funny thing was, I had keys in my hand, but there were also a set of keys already attached to my bag. Yup. I did it. I left the house with Daddy's keys. That was my sign. It was time to stop going, and give myself some time to rest.

Luckily, before I left work, my coworkers threw me a lovely shower complete with a guess what candy bar is in the dirty diaper game, as well as a calendar so they can all guess when you will arrive. They also suggested a few names for you. A few favorites were Julius, Barack and Harry, so you're initials would be HI. My best friend at work, J, found a great purple onesie for you that says "handsome fella." Another friend got you a onesie that says "When I grow up, I want to be a zombie," complete with a bloody hand print. When Daddy starts to tell you all about the zombie apocalypse, you will realize just how perfect this was. The whole gang gave gift card to Baby Gap so I can buy some more adorable and impractical outfits for you! Be prepared kiddo, you are probably going to have to suffer through a lot of photo shoots in your life, and I need to make sure have cute things to wear.

Daddy is getting really excited for your arrival. He's been reading "What to Expect in the First Year, and has started watching a whole bunch of sitcoms with baby story lines. It's really sweet to watch. We did a little marathon of the show "Up All Night" from last season, over the weekend. It's quite funny. And I have a feeling that your parents are going to be just about as uncool as the characters on the show. Hopefully we won't embarrass you too much!
