Nesting

I have been bad about updating!! I've also been really bad about my Project 365...thing. There are only so many things in my house that are even remotely interesting enough to take pictures of, and I'm really not supposed to drive anywhere, sooo...yeah. I did just get a new lens though, so there will be more pictures of random stuff soon!

Anyway, what have I been doing? I don't even really know. I'm not working and the time is kind of flying by. I am now 37 weeks - full term! Hopefully this baby has her tray table up and is preparing for landing. I still have weekly OB appointments with a biophysical profile (ultrasound) at each appointment. On Tuesday, they'll measure her again. It's been 4 weeks since she was last measured, and I'm guessing she's probably about 6.5 pounds right now. My doctor is going away for a week after this week...so I'm guessing that is when this baby will decide to make her grand entrance.

One thing I have been doing is working on her room. Even though she'll be sleeping in our room at night, I've wanted to have her room ready for naps and playtime. Plus we needed a place to put all of her stuff! I'd say it's about 80% complete at this point.

Here is the fun part:
Nursery Before - Gross
Before: When we bought the house, there was gross carpet that we ripped up to find gross terrazzo underneath. This shot is after we took down the window coverings (those blue cloth things on the floor) and shelves from the wall that were also present when we bought the house.

After!!!!

Lillian's Room
We got our stroller (thanks, Mom!) and it is a-mazing. It's a Britax B-Ready, and we got the bassinet for free! Can't wait to take her places! We will soon be stroller people at Disney!

Lillian's Room
The curtains were custom made by moi. This is the third edition of curtains for her room. The first ones were way too pink and immediately were returned to Target. The second set came from ebay, and I hemmed them and decided they really didn't "go" with the room. I'll have to make pillow cases or something with that fabric now. And this third set is actually pink sheer curtains from ebay over white sailcloth panels from Target that I sewed together.

Emo Cat
Both cats are somewhat obsessed with the room and attempt to gain access whenever someone goes in.

Cloth diapers! I have more...need to prep them still. Waiting for the others to come in the mail so I can do them all at once. Now that I have my awesome dryer, I'm super excited about cloth diapering again!

So, that is basically what I've been up to. I'm sure it's some kind of nesting behavior. I've heard some people scrub their floors on their hands and knees - I can guarantee that will not be happening here! Instead, now I'm working on getting all the laundry done, and getting our room cleaned and organized. I want a new quilt or comforter for our bed...I know people will be seeing our room since she'll be in here and I want it to look nice. I'm sure that is some kind of nesting thing too.

Hurray for being full-term!
Her room looks so nice - I like the little touches of Disney you put in, with the framed photos and Brer Rabbit on the shelf. ;)

Thank you! Had to put some Disney in there. Actually it's hard to see, but next to the framed frog picture is a a reproduction of an old postcard from the Polynesian Resort. That's where my husband proposed so I wanted to include it somehow!

Aww, that's so cool! And that's awesome that he proposed there!! Anywhere on Disney property is the best place for such an occasion, I think. :)
