Baby Shower Countdown!

My mother and best friend are throwing me a baby shower August 30th and there is still so much to do. I have been told that they would take care of everything ,but I want to help. I still have to buy prizes and finish up making the shower pins. I'm not sure about the menu. It will be a brunch type shower so nothing to heavy. I was thinking of having champagne for those who enjoy a mimosa's in the late morning. I'm just so excited about this shower. It has been seven years since my last baby shower. I just hope I can fit in my dress. I have been told it looks as if I swallowed a basketball....lol.

Sad OB news

I just received a call from my OB that he will no longer be able to deliver my baby. Unfortunately he is having to take early retirement. Apparently he had been suffering short term memory loss over the past couple of weeks and a co-worker advised him to see a neurologist and after undergoing a scan of the brain he was told he had suffered a small stroke. The Neurologist informed him that he was one of the lucky sixty percent of people who don't die from this type of stroke the other forty percent will usually die. Although I'm upset that Dr. Moore will not be able to delivery my baby, I'm happy he is okay. Now I'm eight months pregnant without an OB.

Rock of Ages Review!

If you enjoy 80's rock with bands such as Journey, Bon Jovi, Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Twisted Sister, Poison, Asia, Whitesnake and more. Then this is a must have CD. My family and I had a blast with this soundtrack it pays tribute to all the 80's hits. I found it to be fun and up beat I would love to see the Broadway show. My daughter is a huge fan of all things musical and couldn't get enough of this CD. Little does she know these songs are from the 80's. I'm so happy that she can now enjoy them as much as I did.
