Cali Baby Shower






I'm such a lucky girl! Two showers within a week! After spending the week with my 'rents in Arizona, we drove to L.A where my Auntie Abet was holding a baby shower for me. What a day! The sun was shining, the birds were chirping---unlike the gloomy and rainy days earlier that week. My aunt's backyard was beautifully decorated and judging by the amount of favors and prizes she gave out, my aunt went above and beyond my expectations. I am so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the their presence and their generosity that day. As it gets closer and closer till Baby McLean makes his/her arrival, the more confident I am that this child will have a great future. With the type of family I have, it is undoubtedly going to be showered with love everyday of his/her life. Now I have the daunting task of organizing all the clothes, toys, blankets, etc in the nursery. Wish me luck!

Arizona Baby Shower

Last weekend, my mom and my best friend Angeline threw me a baby shower in sunny (and very hot) Arizona. What could have been more appropriate for Mother's Day? It was a wonderful shower surrounded by family and friends. I want to sincerely thank everyone for being there and sharing such a special occasion with me and Mike. I want to thank my Dad for the incredible array of appetizers (his specialty). Thank you Auntie Abet for helping out and for the awesome cake that I have been eating nonstop since then! But I want to especially thank Mom and Angeline for the giving me such a wonderful day!

I want my internet!!

Sigh, so it's been almost a week since our home computer decided to crash on us. Meaning--I am now without computer and internet for the 10 hours Mike is at work and I am sitting staring at the walls at home. Thank goodness Mike has a handy little laptop that I can use when he gets home! He literally sets it up first thing as soon as he walks through the door! Oh well, just a couple of more weeks till we either get a brand new computer or the Data Doctors can rebuild the broken one :(
As far as pregnancy news is concerned, I am definitely much bigger! I won't indulge my weight gain so far but let's just say we will have a big baby by the time this is over! I am scheduled for my 1 hour glucose test in three weeks which will determine if I run any risk for gestational diabetes. After that appointment, the doctor will be seeing me every two weeks. How time flies! I am almost finished with my sixth month (I am at 26 weeks) which means I am entering the third trimester! Mike and I took the hospital tour on Tuesday and we were very impressed with the facility. The hospital is literally two miles from the house, meaning we could be there within minutes for any scares or emergencies! The rooms are all private and quite spacious. They even have cable t.v and internet (you know just in case I want to check my email between contractions!) I've also been reading a lot of baby books regarding developing healthy sleeping habits. This will definitely be a learning experience for me and Mike. More so for myself because Mike does have five little sisters that trained him quite well. Better prepared than not!
