still waiting

Due date is this Saturday...I know it's getting close. I have a feeling this baby is going to take it's time. If it's like me, our lil' one will hit the snooze button a few times before making it's grand arrival.

in the bag

Wow, picking out and packing the diaper bag has been more satisfying then any of my previous impulse shopping excursions to high end department stores looking for that perfect over the sholder accessory, no joke! I'm sure I will learn what schlep around in this thing, and what to leave at home, but for the sake of this blog, I placed a few of our favorite on the go baby items as essentials here. I doubt our lil' bundle of joy will care if the teething toy it chews on is organic or not, but for some reason it gives mom a bit of instant gratification, knowing we are attempting to provide the best. Plus I tend to like natural colors better, but that's just silly I know. Thanks to my girlfriends for the diaper bag!!!! Oh and whoops, I forgot to add the first aid kit...just know that'll go in there too.

Baby's Sweet Suite

YAY, the nursery is ready! I'm so happy with the way it turned out. At first the thought of doing a gender neutral room gave me panic, but I actually really like the orange walls, (they are Benjamin Moore, Marmalade.) Be sure to ask Brian how many coats of paint it took for this to go on even, ;-) The crib and changing tables were Christmas Gifts. The crib bedding is a line from Dwell Studios made for Target, super cool. Our favorites though would have to be the tiger rug, an online find, and the counting sheep wall decals. More nursery pictures posted here.

Progress!!!

For those of you who don't know what this means, sorry I'm not going to explain in further detail. But for those of you who do understand, wahooo...making progress. Had my weekly Dr. appointment today, and based on the image posted above, this is what we learned. 38 weeks 3 days and it looks like things are coming along. Although, I hear you can be 1cm for a awhile. We'll keep everyone posted!

Baby Sabbatical

Friday was my last day in the office. For those not familiar with the way Canada handles the whole maternity thing, (aka US friends & family), we are entitled to take one year off and still have job security upon return! Let the bad afternoon TV begin. I find without my 9 to 5 distractions, I'm now more obsessed then ever waiting for baby to arrive..."we're ready lil' one, come anytime!"

this just in...

Not really new news here, but always good to have this confirmed. We left last Monday's doctor appointment knowing our baby is heading (no pun intended) in the right direction!
