Project Dresser and Baby Update

So here we are the first day of December and I am sooo excited for Christmas! I've got a start on the baby's dresser, a small one because I get tired super easy (it's almost pathetic!). This is the dresser BEFORE. I've got my sanding mask (safety first) and my sandpaper. It's definitely a project, but pretty neat seeing how it was my dresser growing up as a kid. I sanded the "body" of the dresser almost all the way today and I have the drawers and bottom piece for tomorrow hopefully. I'm also hoping to be able to paint tomorrow as well! I'll keep you updated!

This is me on Thanksgiving. Do I look like I rode uncomfortably in a car for 12 hours to get there? Did you notice that I'm wearing the same shirt? Yeah, limited clothing options really, be impressed I'm not in sweats! Belly bands are awesome! Of course these days I have my "home sweats" and my "fancy sweats" LOL!

This next picture is from Thanksgiving day as well. This is how tired we were. My SIL Suzy has a great picture of us both sleeping on the couch, but here is Jake with a bunny and my uggs on him, that is the work of my SIL Crystal, she's funny!


And last but not least, our baby is GROWING! Today I started our 37th week and when our Dr. measured my belly this morning I measured at 39!!! She literally looked at me and said "What have you been doing?"

So tomorrow we go in for a "baby growth" ultrasound, since she jumped up their in size. The Dr. also confirmed again that we are indeed having a little girl.

I am officially normal ... aside from the ginormous belly, I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced...that's for all you who actually know what that means :)

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little girl. I still have so much to do, here's my priority list (in no particular order because it all has to be done before she comes)

-car seat in car

-hospital bag packed (it's at 25% done now)

-bed in baby's room rotated (that's Jake)

-bassinet set up

-dresser completed

-Christmas Tree (doing that this weekend w/ MIL)

-Christmas lights up (that's Jake too)

-Mitten Stockings finished up (all 3 are sewn and almost complete except for names)

Well that's my story for now. Talk to you soon!

Love this post, Heather. I love your belly, you really look great. I love your prego jeans too! Man, did we have the uglies when it came to prego clothes just three years ago!

When I was about 7 months along with my 2nd, I was at the grocery store, and a lady said to me "oh, about to pop?! Don't ya hate it when you're no longer at the cute stage?" I almost got her with my flying elbow. I was only at 7 months... anyway, you are totally cute-- at 37 weeks! Love it!

So I guess what I'm saying is you won't have to worry about keeping your flying elbow ready when you make your next trip to the grocery store. lol.

So Suz, those are just regular jeans accompanied by a belly band...they are great! The prego jeans are just hideous mostly :) Thanks, some days I don't feel super cute, but what can ya do :)
