I know, I know-- every post I write is about this baby and my [perfect] husband.  But that just goes to show how a baby on the way literally takes over every part of your life.

I'm 33 weeks (34 at the end of this week) and things seem to be pretty normal! I go for my next Dr appt tomorrow and then my last ultrasound 2 weeks from now!  THEN I go to the Dr every week until this baby decides to pop out!  At my last appt Dr. Mahoney told me that she doesn't think I'll make it to my due date so judging with my motherly instinct, I'm going to just guess that he comes my 38th week.  Which would be awesome but we'll see!  However, NO girl in my family has ever given birth early so that's disheartening. haha!  Literally going back to my great grandmother, not one female on my moms side of the family has had their baby until AFTER their due date.  Now I know it's not a hereditary thing but there's got to be something to be said for a record like that!  I'm talking to my Dr tomorrow about getting induced if I end up running late after my due date (Sept 14th) so we'll see how it all plays out!

Eric and I had our baby shower this past Saturday which was such an incredible time.  My grandparents, mom, and aunt Lacy planned everything from the smallest decoration details to the incredible food and cute little games.  We decided to make it a co-ed shower which was the BEST idea I've had.  Having Eric there and all our men family and friends was so great and made it that much more fun.  Over 50 people came to celebrate little Cannen and it was the most humbling and special day to have so many people supporting us and loving us.  It took over an hour to open up gifts (everyone seemed to just go buck wild on baby Cannen) and he is now officially the most spoiled baby ever- both with material things and just with people who love him.  It was a truly perfect day :)  (some pics below)

I've also decided to concede and let Cannen follow his daddy's footsteps and be a Redskins baby.  ughhh.  This was a hard decision to come to terms with seeing as how I'm as much of a Cowboys fan as a girl can be.  BUT in the end, I figured this is his first son and he's going to be born right in the beginning of football season so he can be a little Redskins fan.... atleast for his first football season. ;)  He's ready to go with an authentic Moss jersey and a little Underarmor Redskins sweatshirt. Cannen will be the only thing about the Redskins that I find irresistable. ;)
