I can BREATHE!

It has been a couple weeks in the making, but I finally broke down and called my Doctor’s nurse Tuesday. I have been SO stuffed up! And sleep was hard to come by. I had tried a lot of things, including breathe right strips! So, I called my nurse and she told me Sudafed during the day and Benedryl at night. I asked Britt if he could get any of the meds at his work, and he hooked me up! But, the doctor over there (one of the Athletic doctors that sees me in the building all the time) told me I couldn’t take as much as my nurse told me I could! LOL! So, I have been taking a Sudafed at breakfast, another one in the middle of the afternoon, and a Benedryl at night. MUCH better! I can breathe so much better – and I am happy to say I haven’t had a nose bleed in over 24 hours. YAY! That’s a small miracle because I was have at least one a day – sometimes 2. It was getting really frustrating.

Anyway – the nurse said I should sleep better, and I must say last night, I did! I woke up once and thought to myself “I took a Benedryl. Why the heck am I awake?” LOL! But, I got back to sleep and woke up feeling a little better than I have. Another good night of sleep and I should be much better!

Getting fired up about my fist baby shower on Sunday! YIPPEE!
(Trying to fix this from being on here twice yesterday...)

Showers!

Well, it must be getting a little closer now! I have 2 showers being planned in Baby Jake’s honor! I know it may seem a bit early, but when you work in College Football, you have to work around game and travel schedules!

The first is being hosted by some of my college girls that I am the advisor for. They are having a COWBOYS themed shower on Oct. 1st. It will be a pretty traditional affair (from what I gather, they are being pretty secretive!) with cake and gifts. We invited the girls on Orange Pride (40) and the student workers in our office. Should be fun!

Then, the head football coach’s wife is hosting a come and go luncheon Thursday, October 5th during the lunch hour. She is inviting all of the coaches’ wives as well as the rest of the female staff from around here. Should be pretty fun!

I am getting pretty excited! We have our next doctor’s appointment that week, as well. My birthday is that week, too! Then, the next week I am going to Dallas to a shower for my sister-in- law. It MUST be getting close to baby time! YAY!

Registered!

We think we have registered for everything we could possibly need! LOL! I am sure we missed a few things, but still, we have a great start. Luckily, Jake has a crib, dresser and changing table from his sisters, so that's nice that we don't need furniture. We are going to paint it all, but that will come in due time.

We are registered at Target for general baby stuff and our BEDDING, and at Babies R Us for supplies and toys and other general baby stuff, then we just registered today at a little boutique here in Stillwater called Murphy's. That was fun because we had Emma and Lara with us and they liked to pick things out for Baby Jake.

I am glad we have that taken care of. One less thing to worry about! And fun that I can add things on-line to Target or BRU is we want to!
