Updated Belly Pictures

It's been a while since I've had the time to update the belly pictures. (I know, bad Meghan) Forgive me!

So, anyway, here is me last Tuesday at 37 weeks.




How am I feeling 16 days before my due date?

Overall - I'm ready to meet my little guy. As Renee posted on her blog - I feel like in the throws of Labor Watch 2009. LOL. Things are certainly happening in there. But, I'm not sure if it's just normal late term PG symptoms, or if labor is in fact in my not so distant future...

I'll spare the details for all you non-pg girls that are reading out there... but I make no promises for the next post.... so reader beware. TMI out the yin yang.

The Glider is here!

Woot. Furniture excites me.

Another Wall decal option...

And while I really love the Owl, at 4.5 feet tall, it's just too small...



Hopefully I can make the final decision this weekend since our Glider is scheduled to be here on Saturday!

Full Term, Full Term!!

And ready for this baby to make his debut. :)

Hopefully the last of the nursery dilemmas

I LOVE making progress. And this rooms, slowly but surely, is coming together.

Here it is with less crap on the floor and some drapes on the windows. (Yes, I still need to clean out the night stand!)




The question now, is what to put above the crib. Initially, we were going to put our four "critter" prints. But now those are going above the glider on the other side of the room.

(For reference, I ended up ordering the Bear, Opossum, Squirrel, and Weasel.)

I would imagine my best option is some kind of wall decal - and of course Etsy has a million options. Here is what I'm thinking for the Crib Wall:





Or, maybe something like this:






I'm a little worried I have too much going on in the room - but I need SOMETHING behind that crib.

Anyone have any ideas?

Completely late 36 week update

Maybe I should just call it an early 37 week update. :)

I think it has finally hit us that this baby could be here at ANY time. I've been having fairly regular Braxton Hicks contractions for a few weeks, and now I'm getting irregular, but fairly uncomfortable "real" contractions. (Just nothing regular enough for me to get worked up over!) Now, this could be nothing. I could be pregnant for a total of 42 weeks and have an induction for this little guy makes his appearance, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

I do however have a lot to do - and I'd like to get it done FAST.

- Install the car seat (inspection Appt 1.8.09)
- Pack a hospital bag (Started!)
- Buy a lamp for the nursery
- Hang Prints and/or buy wall stickers
- Hem curtains DONE!
- Return baby's R us duplicates and buy some last minute odds and ends
- take care of some lady business at the salon (Appt. 1.3.09)
- Touch up nursery paint DONE!

Actually, now that the lists is written out, it looks doable!

I also only have 3 days left of work until Maternity leave. Holy sheet. I can't believe it.

Since I haven't posted pictures of me in a while. He's a pseudo 36 week picture from Christmas eve. (Do you like my childhood stocking at the bottom?)


I promise to take a better one soon. And because of the kindness of Santa - I'm going to try to take a video of our little circus performer with our new Video Camera. Stay tuned.

Houston, we have progress

Yes - there is still PLENTY of work left to be done. But now at least the exploding Babies R Us has been cleaned up:





I'm also ridiculously proud of my drawer organizers. How cute are all my itty bitty baby clothes?



I also really need to start taking pictures during daylight hours. Sorry for the horrible quality pictures.
