The Warrens in Action: Final Baby Shower and 37 Week Update

This past Saturday two of my friends, Jenny and Janelle, threw my third and final baby shower in Cedar Falls. I know I enjoyed myself and I heard from many of the guests that they did, too. There was super yummy food--egg bake, mini muffins, and pink punch. We played one game which consisted of ten objects sealed in brown paper bags and we had to guess the item by feeling the outside of the bag. After the game, I opened gifts. Everyone was so thoughtful and generous--we received some really nice items! It was great to see family members, friends, and former as well as current colleagues. Enjoy some pictures below from the shower.

I had a lot of help from the younger ones who attended the shower.

Jenny and Janelle--I am so grateful to you both for organizing, planning, and hosting my shower. It was something I will always remember.

Today was my 37 week appointment and it went well! Down two pounds....uurrrggg....but doctor was happy with my sugar numbers which was good. Baby's heartbeat was good and she was moving during the appointment. Because of the gestational diabetes, we scheduled an induction date today. If this baby doesn't arrive on her own before September 24 (which could happen because she has dropped considerably), I will be induced that day--my brother's birthday!

It's so crazy to think that we will be parents in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!! We are getting more prepared. TJ installed the car seat bases on Sunday so they are ready to go. The nursery is cleaned and ready to go, with the exception of one box of stuff I need to put away. Tonight we packed what we could for the hospital bag and we have our list of contacts ready to go. Now...we just wait....I think in some ways this will be the slowest time as well as the fastest time. I am extremely excited to meet her and can't wait for her to arrive, but I think we will always feel like we don't quite have every little last detail taken care of.
