34 weeks!

today our baby is 34 weeks in utero! i can't believe i've been pregnant for 8 1/2 months. sharing the same living space with this little one has given me time to pick up on all the babies patterns. here's just to name a few:

• moves around if i'm hungry or i just ate, especially after a sweet treat.
• likes to poke out my right side, don't know if it's a foot or a knee.
• i can tell when they have the hiccups, which is so sweet but for some reason makes me sad
• sleeps when i sleep...for now

mid-summer night

this warm weather has been making me daydream a lot, especially at work. with only 7 weeks to go, all i do is think about the arrival of our baby. i cant wait to look into their eyes for the first time. i wonder how amazing that moment is going to be. i also think about all the things i want to do with the baby, the list is endless. today i was daydreaming about one of those warm, gorgeous, summer nights, where the sun is just about to set. the baby strapped to daddy, with their little feet dangling below, and us walking into town and stopping at red mango, one of my new in town obsessions. you know food was involved somehow.

nursery time!

i want to use this fabric for the curtains. thank goodness for mom's great sewing skills. that's one skill i did not inherit from her.

nursery time!

my mom came up this past weekend and helped me paint the nursery. we had so much fun! we still have a little more to do like paint the tree behind foxy, and carry the trees up above the moulding. i think the baby will enjoy his/her new family of woodland friends.
