last day of pregnancy!

Taken minutes before we left for the hospital....

we really are a sleepy bunch over here.

I love how Chloe will sleep in my hand sometimes.

new toy

Had to invest in a new scratching post which Chloe LOVES.

yawn.

caught her mid-yawn

sleepytime.

this is how we spend our days (at least until baby comes)

chill time

Little does she know what's about to enter her world....her relaxing days are numbered.

scrapbooking it

Pages for my pregnancy scrapbook.

beginnings of a scrapbook project

This will soon be a scrapbook about the pregnancy. I need to obviously change out the photo on the front.

early morning walk

An early morning walk for Chloe.

shadows

my shadow during a walk with Sophie. wow.

the leaves are changing...

I noticed that some of our leaves are already changing. It's too early!

going-away party

Our friend Laura is spending the next year in Haiti. Tonight was her going away party - and we needed one last photo of the husband, Laura, me and McLittle.

last night in the box

Chloe loved this box so much that I started throwing some of her toys in there. Sadly, the box was too large for our living room and was broken down when she wasn't looking.

walking each other

Not sure if the husband is walking Sophie or if she's walking him!

from the garden

everything in this pot (with the exception of the kidney beans and onion) was grown in our garden. I love that.

view from my desk.

It is not uncommon to see my feet propped up on my desk these days.....sad, but true.

in bloom: hydrangeas

my hydrangeas never look like this. (This is from my mom's yard.)

artwork

We officially have artwork hanging in the nursery.

(see more here.)

bffs

Two of my best friends - we go back as far as 7th grade.

stack-o-bibs

we've received more than 50 bibs. I think we're prepared.

38 weeks

We're 38 weeks pregnant this week.

Hard to believe....

practice.

our friends were in town and the husband got some practice holding their baby.

decals and such

Decals are in place, and we stuffed the crib full of animals to try to keep the cat out.

home grown tomatoes

home grown just tastes better.

future corn maze

for now, it's just corn.

up close with the mobile

Keeping with our jungle theme, the mobile has a giraffe, elephant and two monkeys looking over the crib.

alleys.

Our parking situation changed at work. This is the alley I get to walk through each day.

put a bird on it

I just liked the sign at the local bookstore.

trumpet flower before bloom

All coiled up.

nursery nightlight

I painted this for the nursery. Finished it tonight.

changing a bear

I showed the husband how the changing pad works tonight. :)
