36 and counting

Some pictures from 36 weeks.

Yep, that's right. I have to look over my belly.

Proof I can still wear wedges!

Only 3 and a half left to go...Crazy.

Hazel's Room

Here are some pictures from Hazel's room. It's not complete, but I am loving it even as it is now! We still have wall decorations to gather and put up. My super awesome and creative mom made the curtains, the crib skirt, and the quilt hanging on the back of the crib. I am in love with them!! The chair is a rocker/glider and I LOVE it! It is so comfy and I can picture it being around for a long time.

The whole room view. Pardon the mess :) The dresser on the far left will be the changing table, we just haven't put the pad on yet. On the far right is the bassinet, but that will be in our room.

My super wonderful husband put up this light. I think it's the most precious thing I've ever seen.
So, that's the tour for now! I'll be sure to update when we add more.

30 1/2 weeks

I don't intend to flood this blog with pictures of myself, but I do want to have pictures throughout my pregnancy. Erik is wonderful and indulges my need for updates pictures! This time even Henry got some love. I love a sunny day in the midst of rain, it makes me one happy girl.

Right now

* I am almost 30 weeks pregnant.

* Hazel has started to move with purpose and force. This girl can roll, kick, and punch with the best of them! It has been so amazing to feel (and see) more substantial movements.

* I love hearing Erik talk to our baby girl, telling her stories of what is to come.

* Decorating her room has become a new favorite hobby (read obsession).

* My back hurts. I know, I'm pregnant what do I expect, but it's true.

* We still have a lot of organizing to do before she arrive. Thanks Alison, for pointing out the stuff on the bed!

* More than anything, my curiosity is growing. I'm continually wondering something about how our lives will change in just over two months. What does she look like? Who does she look like? What will she smell like? How much will she eat, sleep, poop? How fast will she have us wrapped around her finger? Will all of my training with kids work at all with my own child? How fast can I fall in love with her?

* There are so many changes on the horizon, it's hard to settle into my life today.

* I am thankful and blessed!

Hazel's hats

She is one loved little girl. Just look at her hat collection!

I love the variety, but mostly I love that people who will love her made these for her!

Thanks all you hat makers!

27 weeks

Some pictures from 27 weeks. I feel great overall, just getting used to a bigger belly. Hard to believe I'm almost in my third trimester. She'll be here before we know it! These were taken in Hazel's room. We still have some decorating to do, but the room is painted, and the crib and changing table are in.

Old Friends...

And friends to be! Amy and I got one last pre-baby coffee date before she has her baby girl sometime in the next couple of weeks. So fun to think of all of the baby outings to come! Can't wait for these little girls to meet.

Yes, we have the same diaper bag (in different colors), and yes, we are using them before we have babies. Hey, we needed a practice run!
