My mom took some maternity photos for us today. Now hopefully she will be born really soon so our next post has pictures of HER BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FACE!! :)

Gingerbread Party

almost 38 weeks!

I think it's time to come out now little one!!!

Crazy pregnant lady...

I'm going crazy.
A) I crave ice incessantly. The other day I wanted to cry when I had the thought that after pregnancy I might not think ice is so delicious... that was a really really sad thought. In fact, I think I may be gaining a reputation as "that crazy ice lady" at local fast food destinations. I've been known to use the drive through for requesting cups of crushed ice...

B) I'm nesting.
Nesting: A mother's urge to build a container or shelter made out of twigs, grass or other material to hold its eggs and young. Pregnant humans may feel a similar urge during pregnancy.
Symptoms that indicate you may be nesting: Getting up at 2 in the morning to organize bathroom drawers, feeling that mops are insufficient and one must resort to scrubbing floors on hands and knees, heating bill increasing substantially due to excessive laundering of all things remotely unclean, addiction to the smell of soap and hot water... etc

Sewing

Grandma Elizabeth and Aunt Sienna folding the baby's very first load of laundry. Such itty bitty clothes!!! 

Almost there!! Only 28 days till game day!! We've been busy getting everything squared away for the baby and hospital stay.  Everything is pretty set. I just have to get a few more Christmas things done and finish editing some photos and then I will feel all set for her to arrive at any time. ;) I'm having lots of "practice" contractions, but doing great.
