37 weeks and 4 days

Only 2 1/2 weeks left! Tyler and I are both very excited and anxious to meet our boy. Things are changing quickly already and the thought that any day our baby could come just makes things even more interesting. I have one week left of work and then it's time to relax at home and wait for baby to arrive. Tyler did the sweetest thing the other day and sent me these flowers at work.


What a special surprise to have delivered. They help brighten up my desk for my last week.

We are still putting the finishing touches on the nursery - i have hung one picture frame with the only baby pictures i have at this time and look forward to filling the rest of the frames in the room soon with new baby photos.


We are hoping he chooses to arrive a little early (as i am feeling quite large and ready to meet my little boy). We just have to wait and see 'cause he'll come when he's ready. My bags are packed (or almost completely packed) and I am trying to stay active and enjoy the sleep I can get now - 'cause very soon things will change :)

The New Room

While my parents where up for Christmas they did a wonderful job of painting the babies room for us. I didn't make it an easy project as I chose three different colors for the walls and another color for the molding. But they were up for the task and it turned out just how I wanted. Here are a few pictures. There are still quite a few details to finish such as pictures in the frames, the decals on the walls and more baskets for the dresser but the hard part is done and I am so happy with it.





We had a great visit with my parents and are excited to be abel to have them back once the baby arrives. About 5 weeks left until our family grows and we are excited. I have started to feel a little anxious and wondering how everything will get done before baby arrives. There is lots to do in the house to get ready but one project/chore at a time. I'll post more pictures of the nursery once all the details are finished (this may not be until baby Gates has been here for awhile).
