So yesterday morning I woke up with one of the worst backaches. I had to sleep half of the night sitting up...how horrible!!! So I called the doctor and they were concerned that I may have a bladder infection. I KNEW that was not what it was, but I was glad to be going in just to make sure. So I get in my car and all of a sudden I get these HORRIBLE cramps on the left side of my stomach. I was FREAKING OUT. I got out of the car a the doctors office and I could barely even walk. I could NOT stand up straight and every time I moved my left leg the cramp got worse. I was really freaking out by now. So when I got into the office a nurse came out and she asked if I was cramping and I said DUH!!! And then she asked if I was pregnant...and I after I told her that I was she had the nerve to tell me that my cramping was not good. YOU THINK!!!! Aren't they suppose to make you feel reassured!!!!!

They did an ultrasound and everything checked out okay. The doctor said that the cramps must be from the expansion of my uterus. Well I tell you this...if labor feels worse than that...I will NOT be going natural!!!!! LOL.

In other news...the baby shower is coming along smoothly...or as far as I know it is. My mommy and Kimmy are in constant communication with each other about this momentous occasion.  There was one little hiccup. BD's mom decided that she does not want to throw a TN shower after all...UGH. And that the family members that were going to be at the TN shower want to come to Atlanta...double UGH. There are a few GOOD reasons I say UGH. First, the shower is going to be LARGE without the extra guests...and that is why a TN shower was a good idea. (and when I asked BD's mom about having a TN shower in January she was all about it) Second, I didn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable( BD's mother and step mother will both be there...along with his step fathers siblings and his step mothers siblings). And third...which ties into the last point...there would be too many strong personalities in the room and too many strong personalities that feel as though BD and I should be married before the wedding (2 of his aunts). And along with those strong personalities will be people there that are very protective of me...I just don't want any uncomfortable moments.

Anywho...BD's mom finally said that because the shower is Father's day weekend it will probably only be her coming down. We are sending invites to everyone else as well but don't think that they will come. So that calms my nerves a little.

BD is buying this really nice...and expensive SLR (I think that is what it is called) camera. So I have coerced him into being the baby shower photographer. That is my way of getting him there to experience this occasion as well. It does not hurt that there will be food and alcohol present...lol.

And finally...I am going with my mom for a cake testing next Wednesday!!! I am not really a fan of cake (never have been) but BD's cousins wedding cake was SOOO good that I want the baby shower cake to come from there. I don't know what the cake will look like...I just want to pick out the flavor. I cant wait to see the invitations, decorations (if there will be any), the cake, and what Kim comes up with for entertainment. I just know it is going to be fabulous because I don't know anyone that is more creative than her and she is so excited about me being pregnant that she is going baby crazy!!!

Guess I should get some work done since I was not in the office yesterday...until next time!!!!
