Week 34 and a finished quilt!!

We are finally closing in on the end. Only 2 to 7 weeks left to go! (At the time I write this, we are currently 35 weeks). We are both getting very anxious to meet our little girl! And we have finally settled on a middle name! Ryan is starting to get a little nervous that we won't be ready when "it's time". But for some reason, I am very ok with our current level of preparedness. If I don't happen to get my Ipod loaded before labor starts, oh well. I'll just have to amuse myself by playing Plants vs. Zombies and Zombie Farm.

We've spent a lot of time the past few weeks getting the nursery all put together. The crib and dresser are all assembled, everything has been opened, washed, and put away. And Ryan and his father built an awesome bookcase to match the crib and dresser, incorporating my design elements with minimal grumblings. I'll post pictures of that project after it's painted and stained.

Last weekend Lauryn did her last baby bump shot, little Brighton will be here any day now! I'm jealous! And I managed to get her quilt finished in time!

At our Perinatal appointment last week, Doctor Hurley said "I'll see you back in 4 weeks, if you're still pregnant". I must admit that got my hopes up, but even though Baby K has dropped just a little (I can breathe a little easier, but now I have to pee all the time again), I'm sure we still have several weeks to go! At that appointment Baby K measured at 5 lbs 13 oz (76th percentile). And if she continues to gain a 1/2 lb per week...well, let's just hope that she comes a little early! And we start our every week obstetrician appointments this week too!

I managed to finish Baby K's quilt too!! I am really happy with how it turned out. It is a great addition to the nursery, and hopefully she will enjoy her tummy time all that much more with such a cute quilt to stare at! I think after Baby K is born I am going to get her name and birth date embroidered in the border.

Almost done, I swear. Just a few more details of the nursery. After we get the bookcase in the room and move out the pack and play, I will post some photos of the whole room.
A super cool baby book I found!!
There really are gremlins under her bed....
Ok, I'm done now. But there will be another post coming very soon with pictures from our Illinois shower!
