December 14-20
Bring on this baby! At 37 weeks she is now full term, and I’m pretty sure we’re ready for her! G and I raided the baby aisles and got all the rest of the things we need before our daughter arrives–bottles, bibs, Boppy covers, burp cloths–you name it, we came home with it. After 3 hours I am now a master navigator of Babies R Us. And after another hour (and a few choice words) G now holds an engineering degree in Pack N Play assembly. Our house is slowly being taken over by pastel, musical, vibrating baby stuff which is going to be a bit of an adjustment–but we’re ready for it!
You Know You’re Pregnant When…
Accessorizing the Bump

This may be the start of one era, but the first time baby G smacks her lip on that hard coffee table or end table and “furniture bumpers” will start yet another era!! Good luck~~luckily there are plenty of stores that are all stocked up for the necessities of mother and fatherhood in case you did miss something. I hope G has been doing some more practice diaper changes since the birthing classes, LOL. Enjoy sleeping a few full nights over the next week or two, they may be the last you get for a few months. Being a mom changes you on the inside and out and may motherhood bless you with nothing but the best. Happy Holiday’s, Congrats and here’s to a speedy delivery and recovery.
OK……….so I know it’s been awhile for me but what the heck are bobby covers?
And you may just get lucky like I did…..my daughter slept minimum of 6 hours a night before 2 months. If it wasn’t for her arms hitting the sides of the basinet (she did not like being swaddled)…..I would have gotten PLENTY of sleep.
So here’s hoping you have the same luck (in fact I am wishing it for you)!!
Merry Christmas!
How exciting!
I can’t wait to see pictures of the nursery!
Can’t wait to meet her!!!
Aren’t they called Boppys and not Bobbys? I could be wrong- “I don’t know nothing about birthin’ no babies”
Wait till she’s moving and suddenly your desigin tastes goes from 64 throw pillows to 64 toys strewn about the place!

OK! I know what a boppy is.
I am so nervous/excited for you! You and G are going to be great parents! Hearing your pregnancy stories and updates have been fantastic, and you’ve got a lot of people who looking forward to hearing about Baby G&D.
We have that P&P! It’s fabulous!
I’ve just given up at this point. Our house is where Babies R Us stuff goes to die. And how people fit stuff for two kids? I HAVE NO IDEA.
A new era, indeed. A cluttered one.
Looks great:)
When are we going to see pictures of the nursery??? I bet it looks great, I can’t wait to see it!
Just a quick good luck since its getting close to baby time. I’ve been following your blog since right before you announced your big news. It’s been really fun watching your progress. Best Wishes and Merry Christmas!
Congrats! But when do we get to see the nursery!!
Well, it fits very nicely into your living room! Great color choice!
LizzieBeth–thanks for the catch! I just edited it to say Boppy, lol!
Nursery pics are coming soon–I promise! It’s all finished (woohoo!) and at this point I’m just waiting for a somewhat sunny day to take pictures. It’s a very tough room to photograph!
Looks good in there! Don’t forget to aim that baby away from the TV. You don’t want her to get all ADD on you.
I’m so excited for you!

Gosh I can’t believe how close you are!!! Your pack and play looks adorable too by the way, I know you’ll get a huge amount of use out of it!!
Congrats on hitting 37 weeks. It seems like just yesterday you announced to the blog world that you and G were expecting a baby.
I also wanted to say thanks for you Baby Bargains book recommendation. I was totally overwhelmed with registering the first time we went out. I picked up the book before leaving the store, and it helped tremendously. It was really nice to have some research under my belt before I put the big important stuff on the registry.
I hope the next 3 weeks treat you well, and motherhood is everything you imagined!
So cute!! Once I hit 37 weeks I was sooooo ready to be done!! Luckily my son came exactly a week later =)
I hope you get to hold your little angel soon!
awesome! and it matches the room. looks like mine :)… by the way i have that exact couch set. boy are you dangerously alike (in design
I love that you matched the P&P with the rest of the room! That’s so D
Enjoy your last few weeks of being pregnant!
Ah! And the baby gear enters the living room – definite proof that a little one is in the picture!
I hope that you enjoy the last days before she arrives and that after a few days with her, you won’t be able to remember a time without her.
PS – We’re not worried about the lighting in the nursery
LADY. You are KILLING me withholding nursery pictures. I die a little each day when I don’t see them. Seriously. Time is going by so so slowly. I think I’m dead.
Love you and hope you’re taking care
So excited for nursery pics! Merry Christmas!!!!!
HAHAHA, I love how you matched your living room with the baby stuff. Awesome. If I have 1/2 as nice a looking living room in a few years, I hope I can pull off the same stunt -coordinating house and baby accessories.
We have that same pack n play and love it! Good luck the next few weeks. Cannot wait to hear about the arrival of the baby.
We did the same thing as you – tried to match any baby stuff that would live outside her room to the rest of our house. We were successful too – except for the playmat. Oh well – can’t wait to see the nursery pictures and see baby G&D!!
Looks great! And you are right- an entire new era. Currently in my living room: the jumparoo, swing, and Baby Einstein mat.
I love that your baby containment contraption matches your living room. It’s the little things…
I think I just realized you are having a baby…it was the crib in the living room that put me over the edge if you were wondering…
Thanks for your comments everyone!
@SAB–I’m so glad you liked my Baby Bargains book recommendation! And good luck to you on the remainder of your pregnancy!
Where did you get your pack n play from? The colors match my living room perfectly.
Hi Felicia–the Pack N Play is from Babies R Us.
