Finished with so many things!


So Jake had to help me finish this dresser, but it turned out pretty darn cute I think. It's loaded full of baby girl clothes (thanks to my sister Marsha mostly) and in the baby's room which is almost done...just a few more little things. Thanks Jake, you are the best husband ever! Since he finished his 2nd to last final he's been knocking out things on my "list" left and right, I'm lucky and blessed to have him!

We've officially started our food storage thanks to some prodding from my SIL Gel! Nice work. It is surprisingly easy just like she says, you just get a little extra of something you are already getting! Sorry no picture, but maybe later!

Then we have me pregnant...SUPER pregnant. Here is a picture of me at 37.5 weeks and measuring like I'm 39.5 weeks! I'm actually starting my 39th week tomorrow (Monday) and if she doesn't come into this world on her own then she will be induced on Dec. 17th Wednesday on her Aunt Marsha's birthday (the day after Jake's). We're actually hoping she comes on her own prior to being induced, but we're glad to know when she will be here for sure! We can't wait to meet her! Plus I'd be lying if I said I was completely comfy all the time! Truly though for the most part I have had a pretty easy pregnancy.

As a side note I have the funniest dog, check him out riding in style in the back of the tahoe on an antique love seat we were moving to Jake's mom's house...he's pretty funny!
Also I've set up the bassinet, Jake hung Christmas lights outside and picked up this beautiful tree which he helped me decorate!
We've also got both the baby's bag and our hospital bag packed and the carseat bases in both cars w/ the carseat in the tahoe (I told Jake that is what I want to ride in to the hospital, stepping up into a car is much better than falling into the other car!). So we are pretty much ready to go for when our daughter comes! Just a few more touches in the room and then of course once we get back home I get to wrap the few Christmas presents we'll have which of course will totally be outshone (is that a word?) by our baby's arrival!

I'm super excited for my sister Marsha and Sky and Alise to come visit 12/31-1/6, we will get to spend some time w/ them and also hang out w/ Tyler and Mitzi and fam as well while they are in town. I'm excited to have my sister around while we have a fairly new baby, she's a great mom!
I think that's it for now, I'm guessing my next post will be of our baby girl! Keep us in your prayers!

WHAT?! Comment on my blog, but leave me no update on your baby?! I'm dying over here! Fill me in as soon as you find out more details! I'm probably more excited than a refined normal person would be! You're gonna be a great mom, Heather! I know it!

You were huge! Sure there wasn't a twin in there with Paisley? LOL.
