33 weeks. I just vacuumed the house today and it felt like a cardio workout. Lung space has been severely compromised and I can't bend very well to do the stairs, but I am bound and determined to vacuum the house till the very end.

I keep adding little details to the nursery, I just can't help myself. All of baby's favorite blankets (because I said they will be baby's fav ;) ) are hanging on the back of the crib. The mattress is supposed to arrive today and I have three awesome crib sheets waiting to go on the crib. Becca, the cloud pillow you made is amazing, I love how it looks hanging in the nursery! You know me so well. :)
Maxi skirts are my best friend. I thought they were amazing at the beginning of the pregnancy but now, now they are heavenly! The picture on the bottom left was one of the first presents we received in the mail. I washed all the blankets right away and they are folded and ready to swaddle little one in, I am am so excited. They are so large and will be so easy to swaddle little love in! My parents bought us the carseat and I got the "snuzzler" at the babyshower to keep baby all cozy and snuggled in close. The grey blanket is a brand that was my very favorite of the girls I nannied. I can't wait for baby to sink into it.
I always forget to sign Paul and I up for the taproot theatre shows that go on at church, so many people like to go and there is limited seating that you need to sign up in advance. I was so proud of myself for registering this year. I work the day it is on as well as the next 3 after it, but it's only 50 minutes long so I am pretty excited.
Baby is a little basketball, turning bigger basketball as the days go on, I think it looks so crazy and will often just stare at my belly. :)
I had been seeing thing a few times on pinterest about getting engineering prints printed from staples for large cheap art. I tried to do it here in kent and they said it would take too much toner and break their machine. My mom said to try Moses Lake, I did and success! I love my new hall art!
And I also love our new diaper bag! I let Paul pick it out so that he wouldn't be embarrassed to carry it. It is actually a bail out bag, you know, to put your ammo and stuff in for a zombie apocolypse or something. Haha, oh well, it is perfectly sized and has so many good pockets.
Before our midwife appt yesterday we went to a sweet little coffee shop in North Bend and enjoyed a berry fritter and coffees, such a fun mini date. Oh and my belly is officially a shelf. Cat's prop on it, water balances on it, if it's going to be there might as well make good use of it.
I have been wanting a cake pop from Safeway for some time now, they are only a dollar but I always felt like it was an unnecessary indulgence. After our midwife appt we stopped to get some stuff for Paul to make dinner and I got one, a red velvet one. Um hello new favorite indulgence!
On Sunday we went out to dinner to celebrate my FIL's 61'st birthday. We went to Black Angus and it was amazing! I had eaten a late lunch because I did quite a few errands after church with my parents and we didn't get home till 2pm. Paul didn't mind that I wasn't very hungry tho, he got to enjoy some of my awesome filet minon. So good!
The crib sheets, amazon and target for the win! All the cloth diapers (I only have 18 right now( are washed and folded waiting to be used. We plan to use disposable for the first two weeks at least but after that game on!
Today was supposed to be a "me day" with some chores thrown in. Somehow it is nearly 4pm and I haven't laid down and watched a single show on netflix. I organized baby's dresser drawers, made lots of labels on my silhouette, vacuumed the house (which is a cardio workout seriously), prepped a bunch of food and cleaned out the fridge since I work the next 4 days, and um, I am sure I did more. I still need to pick out insurance for Paul, but I think I will do that while laying in bed this evening when Paul is snuggled up next to me with the fire on, this day has flown by! Boo, I hate it when the day before my 4 day work weekend seems to go faster than any other day.,
what a great update on life! I love seeing all your pictures, and I totally am wanting a long skirt now! 18 diapers is a great start - I actually still only have 16 diapers and 4 covers. It works, but I think around 20 would be a magic number for having a few more days in between needing to wash. And you probably need more when they are little. I can't believe you are getting so close to the end (and beginning (: )
