Its been a little while since I last updated. I am 31 weeks today. It seems like its going by way too fast. Like I am going to blink and she will be here. Although, I think I would be ok with foregoing the whole birthing process, that's for sure!
My baby shower was on 8/27/11. It was a lot of fun. We had a lot of people there, although a lot of people also flaked so we overbought on a lot of stuff. We made out like bandits with baby gear. Just have a few of the bigger things left to get and we are set for the first 6 months or so (hopefully...)
Thank you to my Mom, My sister Danielle, Moeesha, Rachel and Jett for making the baby shower all it was. Thank you to those additionally, who came early to help set up. Thank you to my hubby for cooking for everyone and being my knight in shiny armour. It was so freaking hot that day, I was sweating so much. ewwww.

Ember's cake. it turned out so cute!
My friend Mara, and I. We are only about a week apart in due dates. Thank you for taking a bunch of pics Mara, and for helping us find a house!
The super awesome diaper cake my little sister made me. It even has her name on it and my theme all over it. Love it! Its the center piece on my dining room table. I don't want to take it apart.
Mommy and Daddy to be! I love him.
My favor boxes. I couldn't find them anywhere. ended up ordering them online.. mmmmm Jordan almonds.
Me and the famous Moeesha sash. Love ya Mo!
Erik was making some of the funniest jokes when we were opening the gifts. He was like I dunno if this is going to fit me. LOL
Onto our furry babies. This is Rito. He is just so cute and lovely dovey, but has so much energy. he loves to nibble on your hands. not hard, just playing around.
This is Bean. Such a cutie pie. I cant believe how big they have gotten. People ask us all the time what kind of dogs they are. They are Deer Chihuahuas. The biggest Chihuahuas out there. We didn't even know they would get this big. i am glad they did though. Bean is not as rambunctious as his brother since he broke his leg.
We make horrible jokes with Rito and tell him to calm down or we will break his leg too. LOL. we would never obviously do that. LOL
I couldn't help myself at Target tonight. they have the doggie costumes for Halloween out already. They are "Bad Dogs" LOL. Love it!
In other news, we are moving to an awesome house in Westminster on the 18th of this month. We are currently packing. My friend Mara and her hubby used to live in the house and just moved out last week. In order to help the landlord out(who has a one month old daughter) she spread the word to try to find a new tenant. I am in love with the place! Its 3 bedrooms. David is coming with us and Ember will have a nursery. The house is huge compared to what we have now and has a laundry room and big patio for the dogs. There is also a 2 car garage that is deep enough to have a workshop in it and park two cars inside. Hubby is super stoked on that part. the parking is awesome and its not a huge place with a ton of partiers. its also, all downstairs. Its been so long since I lived in a house, not to mention, a first floor place. So excited!!
I think I am leaving for maternity leave in the middle of October. Prolly around the 14th will be my last day, but nothing is set in stone yet. The goal is to have her on the 1st of November, giving me at least two weeks to relax and prepare for her arrival.
I am still not sure if I am going to have a C-section or push her out. I think I will figure that out at my next appnt on Saturday.
Also, my dad is home from China after 2.5 years of being there. He was there to watch Erik and I get married and then took off and has been home until now. I am so glad he is home, but there is so much to do for him to acclimate him back to US society.
I am really glad he will be here for the birth of Ember.
Anyways, its getting late and I think hubby just finished Sons of Anarchy so its bed time. Love to all. Ciao!
