Hoping this is my last "work weekend"

37 weeks this week! I have officially hit "safe dates" for delivering at home and the tub has been delivered.  Baby is at 0 station and braxton hicks have been steadily increasing. I hope this  means baby will come sooner rather than later, but my hopes won't be up till labor starts.  Oh how I am willing labor to start though! 

The pictures this week aren't my favorite as I took them all in a 3 minute time span because my friend Sara had come over and we were going to get a mani/pedi together. I look tired (I was) and the poses are similar. Oh well, it's true to life that's for sure. 


The baby/guest bathroom now has two drawers that make me smile big when I open them.  The previous owners of the house spilled a ton of stuff in these drawers and I had never gotten around to putting the non slip liners in to cover everything up until I put baby stuff in the drawers. Now I love opening those drawers!  


I am in love with my solly wrap! I have wanted one since well before I was pregnant with little one (like a moby but softer and less extra material, and awesome pattern) but they were just too expensive to justify.  Well, they went on sale on cyber monday and I couldn't pass it up!  Now I just need a baby and it will all be perfect. (and yes wraps look ridiculous with nothing in them!)


We set up our drop cams and I finally moved it to the place we will bee keeping it in the babys room.  It is so weird to be able to look back at pictures from when I walked in and out of the room, organizing and taking pictures of cats. We got these on a killer cyber monday sale as well. 


And my sling! I ordered this from etsy and I couldn't love how it turned out more. I had considered making one myself but seeing as I love supporting small momma businesses and that I would be too critical if I made it myself I decided to order it. So happy I did. :) 


Paul talked me into walking to subway for their $2 sandwich special for dinner one night.  Walks are good for getting baby out and man did I not feel like cooking!  My coat from HS still zips up even over my super preggo belly! 


My cats' never leave my side these days. Cuddle me for hours.  Eric was having a hard time staying awake the other day and his squishy face was too cute not to take a million pictures of. 


Baby's room is officially complete until little one makes its arrival, and then I will probably constantly be adding and changing things, but it is good to know we have a good starting point. :) 


The birth kit is all put together and stacked in the closet, the moses basket is set up in our bedroom with blankets, outfits and hats all ready for delivery day. It makes me so excited every time I see it! 


I have wanted to do this series of pictures since long before Paul and I were pregnant.  Now there is only one missing, the most exciting one of all! 


I had been looking forward to this mani/pedi for months. I knew I was going to get one before baby came and my toes were horrendous, I haven't been able to reach them in months!  Every day since the mani/pedi I tell Paul "have I told you how good my toes feel".  He said "you sure are easy to please aren't you"  :).  I think it helps that it is such a special occasion for me to go spend money so other people can pamper me.  They spent over an hour with the massage of my arms and legs and trimming and clipping and painting everything.  Best 17.50 spent this last month for sure. 


This is my "the tub is delivered and you are now safe to come face and photo".  Bring on the baby. 


The end. This was a super quick post because I am in the middle of my work weekend and usually just come home and lay in bed.  Work exhausts me these days, especially now that it is nearly impossible to lean over and braxton hicks come every time I try to do anything strenuous.  Weekends are my favorite to work though because they are the easiest in general and there are so many less people around.  It's lovely really.

  1. Its been so fun seeing you go through all the stages of pregnancy! Your baby room looks so cute, your baby will love it. :) I love the pictures with the pregnancy test and then belly, it is going to be so cool when you can add the third picture!

    I hope that your baby comes soon and I pray that the delivery goes well. You are going to be an amazing mom!

  2. Aaaaah you will be holding a baby soon! It's okay if you go into labor before Christmas on the 17th, we'll just have it at Kathy's house and it'll be totally laid back!

  3. So close, yet this is the part that feels like forever, when you get more uncomfortable and are nearing the end. And those Braxton hicks can be so tricky! At least you know your body is getting ready :) Your sling looks so nice, I have never seen one with a pocket like that. I am praying everything goes smoothly for you! You seem super prepared and like everything is ready to go. I am so excited to hear how your homebirth goes!
