Waiting for Baby

Well, as it happens with most babies, her due date has come and gone.  And now we're just waiting.  I really thought she would be here a few days early or at least by her due date.  But I was wrong.

Apparently I provide a very comfortable home.  Even though she is trying very hard to get out several times a day with violent kicks and jabs to my ribs and sides.  I keep telling her that's the wrong way out. but she's not listening to her mother.

I had a nice week off of work last week visiting with friends and taking it easy and trying to enjoy my last bit of time as just me.  But now I've had a week of that and I'm ready to meet this baby girl!

I think that Noodle can tell that it's not much longer that she's the only little cute thing in our lives as she's been extra cute and snugly in the last few weeks.  Here she is helping Adam to practice holding a baby.



So please think baby having thoughts for us because we're ready.  And if we have to take a 41 weeks photo, I'm not going to be very happy....

How Does A Belly Grow?

Adam decided that we would record my pregnancy with weekly photos.  It's been a fun project and it's crazy to see how much I have grown and changed. Although looking back at the 6 week picture, I can't wait to be back to my old self...I know it's going to all be worth it.

A Finished Nursery

We've been hard at work on baby's room for what feels like nine months!  And at this point, we're pretty much finished.  We just have a few finishing touches that we want to add that may or may not happen before baby arrives.  The room was a work of love by everyone in her life.  Thank you to her hardworking grandparents and father for working so hard on all the details of her room.  I can't wait to show it to her!
