34 weeks!

34.5 week picture.... the belly is out and proud! She's moving around a ton still and pushing up on my diaphragm a lot! Bending over is starting to get a bit awkward. :) I am officially up 13.5 lbs to date.

The nursery is still miles from finished but I am making progress on prepping decorations including The following paintings all done by me....

The crib is assembled and today i found a steal on a 4 drawer drlesser for the room. Curtains have been found too! Now we just need to place the furniture and all my fun stuff needs to get up on the walls. Including my fabric planets below

Goals for the week: launder and start to put away her clothes into her dresser. Also work on refinishing the changing table/ cabinet.

And of course cleaning my house for my impending shower!

Its hard to believe we are anywhere from 3 weeks to 7 weeks away from meeting her!!!!

31.5 weeks

7-11 weeks left for full term depending on when this one decides to grace us with her presence. Not panicking. Nope.... not at all... and by not at all I mean I'm freaking out.

It also really may happen sooner. Hospital tours, birth classes, finishing the basement, getting the nursery together, showers... so much to plan for and do in this short amount of time....

Definitely freaking out.

Excited to meet her but right now focused on just how much is left to get in place. What I haven't done that I should have by this point. This feels like one of those situations where procrastination is not my friend. So for now lets focus on the cool/good things-

Good things that have me not freaking out:

She's moving around a ton now and I think I got my first few kicks to the ribs/my diaphragm.  I love love love it all though. I love feeling the movements! Even when it impedes my falling asleep (at least with my schedule I know there's room for sleeping in!).

CRAFTING! I'm loving finally sitting down and putting some energy into crafting decorations for her space themed nursery. This has unleashed a crafty creative side of me that I don't get to tap into very often and its fun to know I'm putting together a special place for my little nerd in training. So far I've started some paintings and the planets that will adorn the wall above her crib. The planets turned out even better than I imagined they would and I'm just really ansty to get the room cleaned out and hang this stuff on the walls!

My belly! Its still small enough to not impede my general functioning.... although I'm slowing down a little at work. This is the only time one can be proud of a belly hanging out and poking through clothes and I'm embracing it!


 Well that's all I have right now during this chaotic last weeks!
