If you haven’t been keeping up with my pregnancy at my Pregnancy Journal, check it out! We’re at 36 weeks, so we’re officially 4 weeks from our due date. Of course, the baby could arrive anytime in the next 2-6 weeks.
Click here to visit the pregnancy journal where you can see up-to-date belly shots, see the results of our latest doctor’s appointment, and read the weekly summaries of baby’s development.
I’ve been inspired, mostly by the awesome fabric selections, to try some “mama cloth” for my post-partum recovery and handmade reusable nursing pads for my nursing needs.
I just got some fabulous items in this pattern from Mimi’s Dreams:
Giant Octopi – I love it!!!!
The Online Baby Pool is now open! Cast your votes for the baby’s arrival date and time as well as his vital statistics. Winner gets to name the baby – just kidding!
Keep up with the baby at my pregnancy blog.
Also, I’ve put together a small Amazon wishlist for the new baby. As you can imagine, we don’t need much stuff but I’ve put a few things I would like to have out there if you feel compelled. Just click this link to get to the wishlist.
And finally, our completed guest bedroom. This room has some Ikea shelves that Dave installed which house his extensive record collection. We love the blue color, it lights up this room which doesn’t receive that much natural sunlight.
I found a new home for the two vintage blue glass lamps Kerri made me buy from the flea market, and I re-purposed the teal curtains from the nursery. We’ve decorated with a little bit of a Southern theme with the comforter, front porch picture and antique window, but tied in the wall o’ records with the array of record frames above the bed.
This morning Henry said “Go upstairs, Mommy” complete with gestures. A little tyrannical, but a sentence nevertheless!
Yet another in the series of music-related flashback posts. I found another tape I’m not sure I can throw away. Two Nina Simone songs, which probably helped fuel my life-long love of the artist (that, and Point of No Return). Rene and Georgette Maugritte. Marc Cohn, Counting Crows, U2. Good stuff!
This one was made by Kara Prosise, probably in high school, but maybe a little bit later than that. I’m sure she expanded my musical horizons. Kara always had a really diverse taste in music, drawn to a capella and classic old jazz as well as current rock and tasty, lightweight pop music.
