There have been a few crap things; 3 hour glucose test at 8am, surprise vaginal ultrasound to check placenta, extra appointments to check mom's blood pressure (which was probably up due to dad's driving, lol). But mostly we've enjoyed the strange and unusual things; being tickled on my sides from the inside, Stan's hilarious butt protrusions (he will have his daddy's bottom), and his crazy dance parties at all hours of the day and night. We tell Stan most often to stop beating up his mother and will rub his butt, feet, thighs and hands when he pushes them out really far. We listen to music quite often and Stan seems to enjoy that. We are fairly sure that he has already started training to be a ninja; sometimes his movements are crazy fast or super steady.
Work is still fairly normal with the additional repetitive questions/answers about Stan the Mighty Werecub; "are you pregnant?" "when are you due?" "do you know the sex?" "have you picked out names?" etc. It's tough answering them with the same happy smiling face 10 times over, although there have been plenty of other questions like this over the years, so it is not anything new.
My final day at Tap Room will be June 13th! I've been working there for over 6 years and it has been amazing, I'm going to miss everyone very much. The stress this job puts on my body while pregnant is stifling and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm very excited to start the nesting process for our little man! The biggest stress for me will be storage space; we live in a very "lived in" apartment with lots of stuff from over the years. We are looking for a house but haven't found the perfect starter home just yet. I'm just hoping and praying we don't get a ton of diaper boxes (I know we will need them but we just don't have the space right now).
The shower will be at Wurst bar in Ypsilanti! June 14th. We chose this place for many reasons; location, delicious food, friendly staff. I really think we will have a great time there and I'm super excited to share the experience with all my friends and family. We are working on the invitations this weekend and hope to have them out mid next week. Many of the local invites will be handed out personally (because I'll see you at Tap or around downtown).
The baby shower will also be a little bit of a going away party for me from Tap Room so, I hope, some of the regulars might pop in for a moment and see me. Oh! and this shower is open house style! So popping in is exactly what we want! We will be there from 2-5pm and will have bratwurst platters as snacks, little fun activity tables, and for those who wish to buy a drink or more food the bar has a full menu.
