1 Week

We're 1 week away from our due date! 1 week away from meeting our little girl! And I'm so excited!

It's been so rainy over the last few days. And when I saw this picture, it reminded me of the rain, and our little girl. I really can't wait! I'm getting so anxious. Maybe because I'm stuck inside. And the rain isn't letting up. Greg has been working really hard. That way he can take some time off when our little one comes.

My in-laws are coming on Wednesday. They're flying in from Texas. And my parents and 1 of my sisters are driving in on the same day. I'm so excited. And anxious! And ready. Mostly ready.

I'm pretty sure our nursery is ready too. But I'm just worried that we're forgetting something. That's why I can't wait until Wednesday. When my mom and MIL will be here. And they can tell me if I'm missing anything.

I've had a few contractions. Nothing major. Definitely nothing strong or orderly. I'm sure that we'll at least make it to my due date. If not longer. I'm hoping not longer. But whatever our little needs. I'm ready and prepared. ☼

Names

We have some names picked out. But nothing is really jumping out at us. Our list still has 15 names on it. None have a middle name. Are we already bad parents? I hope not. It's just that nothing feels special enough for our baby girl.

I'm hoping that when our little girl is born, she will sorta let us know what her name should be. Do you know what I mean? At least we have 15 names to choose from. I just don't want to screw this up. It's like the 2nd most important thing I can do. You know, the most important thing to do was making sure I had a healthy pregnancy.

And that's where we are. Still reading books. Books about pregnancy, delivery, new babies, baby care, and baby names. Our nursery is 90% ready. And we're just ready to meet our little girl. So is our family. They'll be here next week. ☼

Olive Garden

This is all I can think of. Olive Garden. They play their commercials late at night. When Greg is watching Family Guy. And it makes me so hungry. I want pasta, bread sticks, and cheesecake every night. Oh, and their peach tea!

Last night, it was incredible. It's all I could think of. And Greg and I decided to go today. To have a lunchtime date. Yummy! And I'm glad we finally have an Olive Garden in town. It's amazing! I'm not going to admit to eating 3 baskets of bread sticks. But the waitress filled our basket 3 times! The salad was so good too.

And Greg and I shared 3 entrees. I'm telling you, I'm eating so much! Pregnancy and all it's cravings are pretty wild. But the food was delicious. As was the tea. Just like I remember. I really do have an amazing hubby! Making sure me and our baby girl get everything our hearts desire. ☼

Stressing

I've been freaking out lately. Not sure why. I just have. I'll be 37 weeks on Saturday. Just 3 weeks away from having our little one. And now, I feel so unready.

I feel like we haven't bought enough stuff. That maybe, our nursery isn't good enough. Or that our baby won't have enough clothes or diapers. I'm stressing about breastfeeding. Should I buy some bottles and formula just in case? Am I ready to be a parent? Did we take all the classes we needed to?

And most importantly, can I take care of our baby girl? I've had some crazy dreams. I've been stressing out that I'm not going to fall in love with our little girl like I should. That maybe I'll just stare at her and think she looks like a little old man. You know, lots of babies look like little old men.

Greg keeps telling me that everything is going to be OK. He is so calm, patient, and ready to be a daddy. I just need to get some of that confidence too. I need to realize that not everything is going to be perfect. And that's OK. I just hope that I'm ready enough. ☼

Weddings at 34 Weeks

Tomorrow, my good friend Brit is getting married. And we're in the wedding. Yes, 34 weeks pregnant, and I'm in the wedding. A gorgeous wedding. Beautiful dresses. Cinderella themed. And my big bump!

Lots of our friends were also expecting. But have had their babies. I'm the only 1 left in the wedding party that is expecting. It's an outdoor wedding. In our hottest month of the year. I hope I survive. And that I don't fall on my face. I've really been worrying about that. But I think I'll be OK.

I am really excited about Brit and Tony getting married. They've been engaged forever! It really has been forever. Some of our best friends. I know that they're going to last. Grow insanely old together. And have lots of babies. They love each other that much! ☼

Winter Go Away

Can you say cold? I'm so tired of winter! And so anxious for Spring. Yes, Spring. Summers here are too hot. But Spring, it's just perfect!



I know that I'm going to be pregnant until July. I just hope I don't melt this summer. It gets so hot. But right now, I'm just plain miserable in this cold. You can't do anything. The pups won't move from in front of the fire. I don't blame them! I try and spend as much time as possible there too!

And we've had an especially cold winter. With lots of snow. Which is freaking me out. Because we never get snow. And we've had a few big storms already this winter. Ugh! Winter please go away. ☼

We're Online

The Sunny Family has finally made it online. I know, I'm always late with these things. And hopefully, I'm more successful at this than I was at MySpace.



A little bit about our family...

Greg and I got married in September 2006. We met and dated through college. And we're so in love! Now we're expecting our first baby in July! We're so excited! This is a whole new chapter for us. And it's going to be an exciting one.

We live in the desert. But it's all good. Because we live near our friends. We really enjoy spending lots of time with our friends. My husband and his friends are in a band together. It's so amazing to see him up there playing his guitar. :)

I have 3 amazing sisters! We're so close and I just love it. Greg and I are both so close to our families. And we love our animals. We have a nice little farm here. And life is really good for us right now. This is just another chapter in our book. ☼
