37 Weeks! FULL TERM!

 Is it possible to be full term?! Where is the time goinggggg....!?!!

Not a great pic, but you get the gist. :) 

We got to see our sweet girl for our 'surprise' 37 week sonogram!  Very cool.  Everything looks great and they 'measured' her at 6 lbs 3 oz- we'll see how accurate that is here shortly....! Hoping for a VERY healthy but reasonably sized baby- aka not 10 lbs.  Please. :)  Everything measured great and she was quite the sound sleeper- had to get up and move to try to get her to open her hands up to be measured.  Apparently I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions but didn't know it- showed up on the sonogram and I had no clue.   Baby is head down and her feet are definitely up in my right rib cage- no doubt about that..! 

I'd seen these on Pinterest so can't take any credit really- except for the label. :) Made this little 'New Daddy kit' for Chris for the hospital. I went ahead and gave it to him early so it's not something I forget about in the chaos of the moment! 

Latest crafting project- made these for Baby C- pacifier clips! Now let's all hope she'll TAKE a pacifier! :)

The nursery is about as done as it's going to be before she comes.  Enjoy a little picture tour: 

See those two little nails above her crib? That's where her white initial will go. For us to know and YOU to find out....!!! :) :) :) 

 

No idea where we'll want things in here so things are in bins by category. 

From the chair's view

On Friday, I went with my friend Sarah to an awesome kids' consignment store in Olathe called Children's Orchard. Got all of these darling items (some even with tags!) for hardly anything.  It was also part of the tax free weekend- bonus! Sarah is due with a little girl in December- aka future playmate. :)

In family news, we celebrated Mom's birthday by going out for a yummy dinner, getting pedicures, angel food cake/strawberries, and going to The Sound of Music at Starlight theatre.  We had the BEST weather- had to wear a jacket! And the show was wonderful. 

What's Scout been up to? Contributing to the household, as usual...

The interesting thing with him lately is when we say baby's name, he perks up BIG time.  Coincidence? Who knows. 

The most exciting news lately is that our friends, Megan and Scott Bennett, had their sweet baby boy, Hugh, yesterday! Megan and I have been 'pregnancy buddies' all summer, as she WAS due 8-15 and I'm due 8-23.  She jumped the gun a little on me but am so happy for them!  He is the most adorable baby.  They live in our neighborhood so am looking forward to many walks, playdates, and outings with baby Hugh and Baby C. 

I'll go back to my doctor on Thursday of this week for my 38 week check up.  I think I only have ONE appointment after that... oh my.  Everything here is done- bags are packed.... to do list is pretty much done.  I'll probably just continue to clean until she comes.  This house should shine by then- might want to wear sunglasses when you come over. :) 

Check back next week!
