29 Weeks Down...

That means there are only 11 weeks to go. gulp. I'm excited to have the baby but it's a little overwhelming how quickly the time is passing. There is still a lot to do to prepare, but at the moment I'm not feeling too stressed out by it all. Mostly I try not to think about the fact we may not have a kitchen when she comes home from the hospital. But she doesn't need a kitchen anyway. And shouldn't every newborn be introduced to a construction site as soon as possible?

I had Jason take this little snapshot before I headed off to work this morning. Actually I made him take several over the last two days until I found one where i wasn't completely appalled by my hair. I'm getting it cut next week.

If you zoom in on my earlobe you can see I'm wearing my new earrings from Circle and Sprout. This is my cousin Sarah's new venture. These are very simple "pebble" studs that I'm using as my everyday earrings, but she and her friend have a lot of great designs so give 'em a look.

Nursery Makeover: Phase 1

We completed phase 1 of the nursery makeover this weekend: paint. I got the color (Pale Celery) on the walls a few weeks ago and we completed the trim and ceiling yesterday.


We also did a lot of cleaning, including the windows! So years from now when our little Blueberry is inevitably complaining to at least one of you that her parents never clean the windows in her room, remind her that she had clean windows at least once in her life. And also if she's old enough tell her she can clean them too. They're tilt-in. It's really not that hard.


Next on the list is getting the crib and some prints for the walls and a new light fixture. I'm feeling pretty good that we'll have it together before she arrives. I'm not quite as confident about the kitchen remodel her crazy parents have decided to start a month before she's due...

Smile for the Camera

Due to some unplanned circumstances, we had an additional ultrasound today. Everything is perfect with our little lady including her very adorable face. Even the technicians kept commenting on how cute her chubby little cheeks are. I can't even describe how excited I am to hold her in my arms and kiss that little face. For now I will be content with her practicing her dance moves on my bladder and her kick line on my ribs.
