The car seat is in!!

When we arrived home from Seattle, I thought it might be a good idea to put her car seat into the car due to all the cramping I have been having. She is full term and could come anytime.....I want to be prepared!! :)

It's still so crazy to see it in the car along with the stroller. I can't believe its our baby about to be born!!!

Spoiled in Seattle

Steve's family threw me a shower on Saturday in honor of miss bean. We had a really great time. It was so great to see all the family. 

 It was a weekend full of being spoiled when Sunday came and Heidi and all the Seattle friends gathered for another shower for miss bean. What a treat!! I sure missed everyone and there babies! Great to catch up.

Thank you thank you Heidi, Kim and Jan for the 2 wonderful showers! We had a really fab time :)

The day finally came and we got everything moved. My office is still a mess but the most important thing was String Beans room. I will work on my office some more next week.

I think I enjoyed watching Steve put together all the baby decor the most. Didn't take him long. The moment we arrived home yesterday to see the carpet all finished, I was begging to start setting it all up. We both have been dreaming about her room for so long. I washed all her clothes today and hung them by close pins in her armoire. Very farm like  :)
Tek was quite the help too. We added him to a few photos as well. He loves his sister already  :)


Arrived home to see the new carpet.......

Bathroom shower was done by Steve....beautiful job love

She is considered full term tomorrow 2/10/11

Went for another Dr appt today. Still no dilation but tomorrow String Bean is considered full term. What a relief, really! I am so glad to know I have carried this little one without complications to full term. Which, I might add is very scary to know that now she will have to come out!
I still have 3 weeks to prepare but she could come anytime.

UPDATE:
Still measuring well and slowed on the weight gain......glad about that. I will be glad to get this weight off asap!

Carpet was installed today. I will post photos tomorrow after everything is moved in.

Her very own tree....

Daddy hand painted a beautiful leaf blowing blossom tree in String Beans room yesterday. It is the most perfect touch! I am so lucky to have a very talented, creative and artistic husband. Thank you so much love bug. Your daughter is going to LOVE it!

I also added a photo of me at 36 weeks......feel like I could pop any day!

Half way done

All finished   :)

Nursery update 2/5/11

Sheet Rocker finished at 7 am this morning, so dad and Steve jumped on the paint at 8. With the help of our trusty paint sprayer gun, primer was on in no time! I couldn't believe my eyes when lunch time came around and the ceiling was all sparkling white too. By 5:30 pm tonight all was finished including all three accent walls. Thanks to all of the help from my two fav men,  string beans items will be moved in by Thursday. I didn't even have to lift a finger today :)

To be continued.......

36 weeks

Went to see my midwife on Wednesday. No dilation as of right now. I am continuing to have some small B H contractions. Still measuring good. She is defiantly running out of room in my stomach. The nights seem long but I am trying really hard to rest or at least sit down in the day. I get really really tired around 4 pm.  I have defiantly started to stress about baby coming. The nesting is taking over and I am sure  it seems funny to watch. I have organized her clothing by months and thinking next week I will wash. She already has two bags full!

We now are now seeing my midwife every week. Our bags are packed for the hospital and I think the car seat will be put in the car some time next week or the following. Should start painting her room, my office and bathroom tomorrow and Sunday. Plan to tile the bathroom Sunday too.  Doors will be hung Monday and Tuesday and carpet will be here on Wednesday. I can't wait to move all her baby stuff in on Thursday 2/10. Really anxious to watch Steve assemble the crib HA HA!

We are taking a weekend trip to Seattle on 2/12. Last trip before baby. Baby and I will be attending two showers in honor of String bean on Saturday and Sunday. Family and friends will be there. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone!

I will post some pictures after the rooms are painted and then again when all is moved in........
