8 more sleeps

in case anyone is wondering, my eggo is still preggo. i feel like we're standing outside of mervyn's, tapping our fingers on the glass door, saying, "open, open, open." while waiting for the store to open, we've managed to have a great weekend.

the sweet bibilo babes came over on thursday night. we chatted, as usual, played a very fun wii game called just dance, and celebrated birthdays for shawnda and me. they also brought me a box of goodies that i can't open until we go to the hospital. aren't they beautiful?
i'm not sure if they were aware the the unopened gift is one of my greatest temptations in life. it is sitting on our kitchen table, taunting me every time i walk by. no worries, babes. i can resist. i can resist. i can resist.

jared finished 2nd in his poker game on friday night and the poker guys all brought diapers for little c. how cute is that?

we celebrated the fabulous lily b's 5th birthday at her sillybration. the only downside: jared banned me from the bounce house. i thought it had some great possibilities for labor induction. oh well.

classy b and pop helped up finish our final nursery DIY, a custom little c mobile.
as classy says, it gives the little one's space that final tiny touch that ties everything together. it is a happy little place in there.
last night, we celebrated my impending twenty fifteen birthday a bit early with the padres, stace and cam, and ash and jeff. we had stuffed jalapenos, chili dogs, waffle fries and chips and salsa. little c was totally unfazed by the massive ingestion of spiciness. the gifts were lovely. a pre-push pedi from the sundown buchanan's, after baby body shopping spree funds from the padres, homemade chicken and rice for mole and the famous cox macaroons straight outta olton, and a smorgasbord of childhood nostalgia since i will apparently be a real-life grown up soon. the piece de resistance was this:
a real-life wonder woman bracelet, constructed from a magically indestructible metal called Amazonium, useful for deflecting bullets, energy weapons, and all manner of attack, including contractions and other labor-associated unpleasantness. who knew i needed one of these? jared, that's who.

who knew i needed a savior? God, that's who. i am so thankful that He sent One who gave His life for you and me. O Happy Easter!
