Hi Everyone,

Hope you had an awesome week. Mine was a little crazy after the Real Birth marathon birthing classes I tortured my husband with this past weekend. I owe him big.

Birthing stories are so different and unique but I'm really praying that my labor will not last 24 to 48 hours. I've had many women share their experiences with me and most of them have been great, but why is it that you always remember the really bad ones? I'm praying that I will be able to deliver vaginally. I also really want a doula too. I know that sounds far out for some people, but I'm hoping that I will be able to get some pain management stratgies that will help me get through this. I'm sure you all might have some techniques out there that helped you so I'm curious to hear what helped you all the most.

Also more importantly, I will be throwing you, the viewer, a shower! Yes, it will be shower of sorts with a bunch of goodies that you all will be able to get your hands on :)

It will kick off next Friday and will last until I deliver on August 11th. It will be informative, fun and the best part in these tough economic times FREE!!!!!!! I really want to help you all out. So this is what I have done.

I have reached out to some wonderful sponsors like Toys R' Us, McClaren, Graco and Diapers.com, just to name a few wonderful companies that may want to get involved.
I will have more details soon. Just keep it posted right here and the Goodies are going to be good.

Have a great weekend and I'll keep you posted on Suki Mama Mania!!!

Hi Everyone,

Hope this e-mail finds you all doing well. I can't believe that we are less than two months from my due date. Wow, talk about a reality check!

This week, I really have seen a change in my body clock. Talk about sleep deprivation. I've been going to sleep every night at 11pm. The baby has been kicking me all night long ;) I'm ok with it because I guess it's a sign of things to come and frankly, I have no choice.

Other than that, next week we have the sonogram and the hospital tour. Fun...fun...fun! By the way, I'm thinking about getting a doula. Anyone, have any suggestions?

This weekend, though, my mother is throwing me a baby shower. I'm so looking forwrad to seeing my family and friends. I will share some pictures with you next week. All the girls are coming to Staten Island, so I'll have to show them a good time.

And by the way, tell me what you thought about the viewer baby shower that I just threw or as I like to call it, "Suki Mama Mania."

We're giving away a diaper bag filled with items worth $500 and also a gift from www.diapers.com. We will be doing this every Friday until I deliver. Trust me, we are going to have some awesome giveaways including strollers, car seats and possibly baby furniture.

Have a great weekend and I will see you on Monday!

Hi Everyone,

The shower was an absolute blast. There were about 100 people in my parents backyard. (Don't ask!) :)

I want to share a few pictures with you. I hope you all enjoy the fun. We had Staten Island Chuck play some music, but somehow it turned into a dance party. This wasn't your average baby shower. In fact, it turned into how to make a baby party! Or as one of my producers put it, Suki's Rock'in Baby Shower. Seriously though, I think we may have redefined a baby shower.

Other than that, the baby is huge and, well, I'm starting to feel that way too. Black is turning into a good friend of mine. Recently, more people are telling me that I'm having a baby girl. I been so prepared for a boy that this is really throwing me for a loop. I don't know why because I've been saying all along that I really don't care what I have just as long as it's healthy.

Next week, I will be taking a "babymoon" on the Jersey Shore. I really need some time off to get my head together and just enjoy some quiet time my husband. I hope you don't miss me too much! :)

I will still be doing the Suki Mama Mania giveaway so don't worry. The prizes are coming. Also what did you think about Suki Mama Mania?

All the best.

Hi Everyone,

It's Week 33 and I'm feeling great. I'm on vacation right now, but I just wanted to thank all of you for responding to the Suki Mama Mania blog.

We had an incredible response and it's all because of you. Keep on entering because we have some incredible prizes to giveaway.

Also, here's an update on the baby. It weighs 5 pounds 3 ounces right now and I wanted to share a few pictures.

The first one is a 3-D shot and you can see it's face. The baby has it's hands under it's chin and also on it's forehead. Too cute, right? This 3-D sonogram thing really rocks.

So, I hope you all had a great week. Keep logging on to the enter giveaways!
