cell phone camera, so not the greatest

but more to come soon! :)

we are doing SUPER!!

with Daddy

just minutes old!


all clean and cozy
car ride home

we are very anxious...

however, our lives are about to change FOREVER

and yet we can't wait to meet this little girl!!

some pictures of the 40 (oh wait- 41) week ordeal..

another "funny" picture by Scott...

i had a bedtime snack: apple slices,

peanut butter, and potato chips.

he thought it was a weird craving, but i

actually always like those things. :)

this one i think is at about 39 weeks, when i thought i was ready to pop. but oh no, it only gets worse. continue on...

a belly shot from the front... made it black 'n white for your sake. :)

this picture is just a couple of days old, the most recent one you'll see before i post pictures of the little monster herself later this week. wahoo!

end in sight...

scheduled to be induced wednesday, 23rd.

we thought we had a name, but not sure anymore.

any cute/not too common ideas for baby girl names???

no baby yet!

oh my word, i'm about to POP!

but... no BABY yet. :(

everyone is so curious, it cracks me up!

scott's mom calls about 3 times a day...

and anyone i call asks "are you at the hospital?!?"

ohhhh i WISH i knew when it's going to happen too!

but no worries, we will text EVERYONE

and put up a POST when she comes!

p.s. WE CAN'T WAIT!!!

One of my maternity pictures...

Acting Domestic...

Made some burp cloths tonight! I found colored cloth diapers (by Gerber) at Target, cut each one in half, and then zig-zagged the raw edges with my sewing machine. Total cost? About 50 cents per Burpie! Saweeet! :)

Also took a shot at head-band baby bows tonight. Found some baby tights on clearance (which becomes the head-band)... and a 50 cent yard of pink ribbon from Wal-Mart! I definitely need more practice, and need someone to teach me to tie better bows... but I had fun tonight while Scott

was at work. What if she comes out a boy? AH!

ANOTHER BURPIE... VERY CUTE! MY MOTHER IN LAW TAUGHT ME TO DO THESE: YOU JUST SEW FLANNEL STRIPS TOGETHER, RIGHT SIDE OUT, AND THEN SNIP AND FRAY ALL THE EDGES BY WASHING AND DRYING. I MADE THIS ONE OUT OF SCRAPS FROM ONE OF THE MANY BABY BLANKETS SHE'S MADE FOR ME. I AM SPOILED! :)
