1 is the lonliest number... (Day 60 in here)

Today is weigh-in day and guess what? I lost a pound!!! 1 pound. Ug. I'm supposed to be fattening this baby up.
I also asked my doctor how rare my situation is--- I'm probably in the 1 % of pregnancies.
So one seems to be a bit of a theme today. At least it worked for the title of my post. I'm running out of ideas.
My nurse just brought in my 33 week (how far along the baby is) certificate. I've made it to 60 days in here. In a few more days that will be 9 weeks. How insane. The record in here, in case you are wondering, is 100 days. And the poor woman who owns that distinction had two small children at home, had her husband file for divorce and lost her job during that period. I really don't have it so bad in here.
In fact, I've all along felt quite loved. Last night a couple of my friends, who under the guise of coming up for our regular movie night, sprung a surprise baby shower on me. I loved it. It was so fun. We had dinner, a super cool juice concoction that turned blue (in Spartacus's all boy honor), played a game, opened presents and had the yummiest "tres leches" cake. Mucho love and thanks to Mary K, her mom, Mary, Jeannie, Joannah, Susan and Gina (and her cute daughter Erin). I'm just one of these people that can't believe there are so many loving, giving and amazing women in this world. I wholeheartedly treasure my friends!
My brother Doug, brought my mom by on the way home from the airport. They got here for the tail end of the shower. It was perfect. And it is so good to have her home. My girls keep calling me "Grammy"... They are doing much better and even built a Fairy house with her this morning.
As for Dr. Lovelace, he came in quite late today (with his surgery scrubs on and dress shoes). I was pouring my heart out.. that I'm having a hard time shifting back to the "waiting game" after feeling like I was going to deliver for the past few days. All has settled down. I'm not even feeling that many contractions. He told me to relax and get focused again. That all can change in 5 or 10 minutes. He reminded me how much my body had changed since Friday in getting ready to go. So here we go again.
