Nursery Wants & Haves

Here’s a little sampling of some of my favorite baby items! Many of these even already have a spot in Harriet’s nursery! I picked the crib out ages ago and the entire theme of the nursery is based on that lovely blue color as well as the clothespin dolls below and a FABULOUS piece of butterfly art my mother-in-law bought at the SF birth & baby fair several months ago. Also, I’m just dying for that squirrel pillow below!

As of Tuesday I’m now considered full-term, which means I could give birth to a healthy and happy baby with no complications. However, I still have three weeks to go! We’re taking out birthing class this Saturday and have started meeting with our midwife every week now. We also have our last (?) appointment with our doula next week.

Everything is coming together. I’m nesting like CRAZY! Just trying to get everything ready for little miss Harriet’s arrival without losing it! The above photo was taken at our last midwife appointment. Pat is so cute with the instagram belly pics right now.

37 weeks down, three to go!

Halloween – Skelly Belly

So, I was less than motivated to dress up this year (I’m having a major lack of energy) but I figured I should suck it up and come up with something fun to wear for my friends Ashley’s and Jose’s Halloween party last Sunday. I had a fun pair of skeleton tights that I hadn’t worn yet so I wore those. And just for fun I cut out a quick skull image from one of my many black tee-shirts so that the skull stretched out across my big prego belly. It was fun to have at least some semblance of a costume – I kept saying that I was dressed with the spirit of Halloween in mind rather than in full costume. What do you think?
