So Grown Up

This week Steve and I are feeling pretty grown up. Not only did we initiate a Will, but we also signed up to have solar panels installed on our roof to save some money and go green. Steve also got me a fax/copy machine this week and a really grown up camera (which I still need to figure out how to use). I have noticed that the things I am getting excited about have changed a bit. My awesome wound care co-workers threw me a surprise baby shower on Friday and they all pitched in and got us our stroller. I'm beyond THRILLED. I seriously cannot wait to get the stroller and push it around with me (with the baby of course). I do want to take a practice walk with it and Brooklyn before baby comes just to teach him how to walk next to the stroller rather than in front of it. It was an awesome week and the weekend should be even better. I got up at 4:30 this morning b/c I was "too excited to sleep". I'm headed to Nikki's house this morning for a baby shower with all my bestest friends. Then tomorrow I am going to a shower for me with all my C2 co-workers. Should be a great weekend being showered!

About to POP?

My belly button that is. The past few days I have been having an intense pain around my belly button. It was worse at the end of the day (especially the past 2 days after long 12 hr shifts at work). It worried me a but Saturday evening on the way home from work because it was so painful, I couldn't sit still in the car on the ride home. It just feels like my skin was going to tear off and all my insides were gonna spill out (sorry for the graphic). It felt better once I got home and laid down. This repeated itself after work Sunday night. I did notice Sunday that I have my first stretch marks (really bummed about this) and they are circular around my belly button. I guess that's whats been hurting :(
