Final Countdown

I am finally getting around to updating my blog one final time before baby comes. Life has been crazy around our home and while a lot of it has to do with preparing for our little girl, I still can't believe she is coming so soon! I am scheduled to be induced next Tuesday, September 27th (the day after my birthday- so fun!!) The doctors are anxious to get baby girl here safely and since my body is ready to go they are wanting to induce 1 week earlier than my due date- and I'm definitely not complaining! I can't wait to finally meet my little girl! I am definitely feeling some shock at the idea that I am finally going to be able to take home a baby to raise. Getting a child has been such a long road for us and I can't believe I get to meet our new angel in less than a week! I am emotional, anxious, excited, nervous, and about 100 other emotions that I can't even describe.

As far as my life goes lately, I have been filling my time making things for family, friends, and of course our little girl. Some of the things I made ended up just how I imagined, and others are eh... ok I guess. Here is a little snippet of some things I have been making:

Cross-stitch Salt Lake Temple for some friends in Delaware (they let us live in their house for the summer)

Birthday table runner and bow ties for sister-in-law Maryn and nephew Seth's birthdays

Scarves for Becky and Mom for their birthdays

Baby quilt for our little girl

Car seat cover and nursing cover

Bow holder for all of Girly's little bows and baby bumper for crib

Here is what her nursery currently looks like. I still need to add some more things on the walls so it isn't quite finished but you get a general idea (and yes... we have definitely embraced pink in our house)

View of other wall with changing table (and cute new coat rack in hallway for her little coats)


Here are some other random pictures depicting what has been happening over the last little while:

Trip to Gettysburg

Me at 36 and 38 weeks


Also, our amazingly talented friend Kristal took some maternity pictures of us the other day. I will always love looking back on this pregnancy and remembering all of the miracles along the way that have brought this little girl into our family.




We are feeling very blessed and ready for this new addition in our lives. Thanks for all your love and support through the journey!
