38 week update

I think I have started having Braxton Hicks contractions, but of course I am not sure. I have a few things to finish up at work this coming week, but I still want the baby to come as soon as it's ready. This morning I was looking up Braxton Hicks and stumbled upon the Due in November message board on Baby Center. It was nice to read about other women who are experiencing some of the same things I am.

In case you're wondering, I am fine, just tired of being tired all the time and ready to have the baby. The pregnancy felt like it went by really fast, until about 2 weeks ago. Work and my Professional Certification feel very overwhelming right now and I am really very ready to not be at work anymore.

Here is the nursery so far:

Tired 36 week girl on my way to a Sounders Game on a weeknight! It was worth it, they won!

36 weeks once again, this time in the nursery. We'll post some more photos of the nursery soon, it's coming together!

And 37 weeks!

Hello everyone. Happy Sunday! Topher is at work and I am home trying to relax and get some work done today. We continue to clean and organize the house in general and of course for when the baby comes home. We finally purchased a desk! We have been thinking about it for so long and finally went to Crate and Barrel yesterday and ordered it. We haven't had a good place for the computer, speakers, hard drive and printer for sometime now. We also bought a poster for the nursery and a mobile for the baby to look at. We put it above the bassinet in our bedroom for now and plan on moving it to above the crib later. We have some more furniture moving to do and are still looking for a rug for in front of the fireplace. I think then, we will be happy with the way the house is set up.

I am trying to not work too hard, I get tired easily, but there is so much to do before I leave! I have more swelling and some other symptoms that tell us labor is on it's way, but of course there is no way of telling when.

inspiration!!!

This band is amazing....

Pregnant Lady!

Heather can't blog today because the pregnancy thing is giving her some wicked carpal tunnel syndrome and she shouldnt be using her hands. However, she wanted to show y'all some pictures of her belly. Here's H. at 32 weeks pregnant:


















Beautiful right?

here's 34 weeks:


















And in something less stripey:



















In other news we went to the midwife this week and found out that our brilliant baby is in the appropriate "head down" position and is getting ready to exit the womb.
This weekend we plan on packing the bag to bring to the birthing center with us, just in case they show up earlier than expected.

Have a great weekend y'all.
