39 Weeks

 39 weeks now...and feeling VERY ready for this baby to come. The waiting and not knowing are killing me! Otherwise I'm doing pretty good. Just a little tired....I really can't complain. I'm just so anxious to meet this little girl! And I'm curious to see what she looks like, and how much she weighs, and how labor goes this time, and all those other unknowns. Soon enough!

 Here is my attempt at a self portrait for this week. Hopefully I can get one more real picture before she comes. I don't think I'm really this small. The t-shirt hides the baby well.  :)  Though I really don't feel huge. It was this way with Emma too. Most strangers who ask how far along I am are surprised and tell me they thought I was maybe 6 or 7 months along. I guess it's not a bad problem to have.  :)

And for those who have asked, here are pictures of the mostly completed nursery. This is looking in from the hall. I made the curtains and the throw pillow on the glider. I also recovered the glider (a huge thank you to my friend Sarah for her inspiration and instructions!- I never would have attempted it otherwise). 

I'm hoping to hang her name on the wall above the crib. And really, all of the walls need pictures...it's a work in progress. I made a crib skirt, but you can't really see it. For those who are curious, I ended up doing brown with stripes on the bottom. It turned out pretty good, though I can't say I'm in love with it. Oh well...it does the job!

And the last wall...the door to the left goes to the hall. That corner on the right has become our junk pile....it's all going soon!
And that's that. Hopefully we'll have baby pictures soon!
