hello and merry christmas!
i wanted to give you all a brief photo update of what i have been up to from 30 weeks to 37! weeks…
- cleaned out closets, squint helped
- my mom came to visit and we put together our crib – LOVE this crib!
- trouble and squint made sure that the crib mattress box was empty!
- trouble took a break from baby prep and hunted lady bugs
- took several thousand moments to marvel in our good fortune
- celebrated thanksgiving with mother-in-law who brought her FABULOUS tender turkey
- grandpa (my dad) built us a cradle!
- photo at about 37 weeks – baby measuring 7lbs 5oz!
- celebrated christmas – no tree due to destroyer kitties
time is chugging along. i remain fairly nauseous most days (oh well!) but am getting through it. i have slightly elevated fluid levels (and elevated maternal age) so i go every week for a sonogram and to see my OB. all my vitals are good and the baby moves a lot and is doing her practice breathing so i am all thumbs up from my docs.
i had a wonderful visit with the babypants gals and their little one last week and this week got to visit with olive from insert metaphor… i don’t think there are nicer people on the planet. was SO great to spend time with them all. made me inspired to reach out and say hello to everyone – hello!! i HAVE been reading even though i have not been writing.
we are having a baby shower on jan 10th – i am due on the 16th! we’ll see how that plays out… i am excited to see friends and share our excitement with them… i have REALLY been quite housebound and it is making me kind of bonkers. my folks are coming out from the west coast for a couple weeks (or more if baby comes late). they will arrive on the 15th and are staying a few blocks away. we found them a house swap so visiting won’t cost an arm and a leg – so great!
much love to you all…

Glad you posted an update. Good luck and best wished to you and your growing family.
Your little one might be born on my Simone’s b-day! Your preggo pics are lovely. I wish we had seen you when we were in your neck of the woods a couple of months ago. I’m sure we’ll be back soon with S. I’d love for the kiddos to meet up and to finally meet you in person!
I adore your crib and cradle. Both so beautiful!
Just thinking of you guys. Hope by now you have a beautiful new babe in your arms.
