Wow, this summer is flying!  When we first found out I was pregnant, I thought we had SO much time.  Sheesh, the end of summer is FOREVER away, right?!  HA!  well, Monday starts a new month, and I’m due at the end of it!

I snapped a quick pic with my webcam yesterday to show off my 36 week belly.  Does it look like a boy or girl in there?

Last weekend was my baby shower, thrown by my awesome little sister!  The weather was incredibly, stupidly hot and it stormed in the middle of the outdoor shower.  Appropriate, I guess, huh!  We had tents in the yard so we all stayed mostly dry.  I, however, WANTED to stand in the rain.  The humidity the rain brought really did a number on my hair, which makes me think all the pictures of me after the storm look awful.  I wish I had gone in and fixed my funky bangs!

We got SO many great, wonderful, thoughtful and generous gifts!  Many thanks to all who helped and were so generous in gift giving.  Namely my mom-in-law who bought us our whole supply of cloth diapers!  Wow!  It makes me so happy to not be putting all that paper and plastic in a landfill somewhere just so my baby can poop.  And I am incredibly thankful that my family is supportive of our decision to use cloth diapers.  These are the ones we chose.

Some highlights from the shower:

My dress was nearly floor length.  While it was very thin cotton, it did not breathe at all!  so i decided to quick cut up either seam on the sides about 8 or 10 inches and worry about hemming it later.  It sure helped!

How did Shannon manage to not sweat all her makeup off like I did?!

I LOVE this quilt and can’t wait for it to be back in my house!!! I think Baby has to come first though.  I suppose that is fair.   She actually thought I’d be concerned that she gave it to me unfinished…  Does she know who she’s talking to?!  Ryan got the 2nd of a pair of socks for Christmas in MAY.

 

The nursery is pretty much finished.  I painted it a couple weeks ago, we are waiting for the crib to be delivered and we have some work to do on the closet.  I also have a TON of laundry to do already.     Should be ready for baby by mid-week.  After that, I hope to get my new sewing room in order.  So far everything just got moved down into an empty bedroom in the basement. Nothing is organized or put away.  If I’m REALLY lucky, I might even get to sew a little bit before baby arrives!
