6 Weeks To Go! Nesting?

Well as of Thursday I'm officially 34 weeks pregnant and only have approximately 6 weeks to go before Taylor arrives. This week I spent some time in Pittsburgh visiting with my Granny and my Mom's family before I'm no longer able to travel. My belly has been getting bigger and bigger every day. I used to think it wasn't all THAT big but it seems to be just getting HUGE these days. I don't even want to think about what it will be looking like in August when I'm 40 weeks pregnant!

Belly at 34 Weeks!


While I was gone the Pack n' Play/Bassinet arrived from Chris' mom. Yesterday during Chris' day off from work we spent some time in the morning putting it together. He did most of the work with just a little help from me. It is very cute and I'm very happy with it. Now we just have to get some play yard sheets for it.

The Bassinet all put together

The top of the Bassinet. I love that it has a changing station on it.


During the last few days I've been using most of my free time cross-stitching while I have my little Harry Potter Marathon. I've started with the Alphabet Peter Rabbit sampler. So far i have 6 letters stitched. Lots more to go, but it's quite relaxing! It's so nice to stitch something for myself too. I've never done that before. =)

So they say when you get close you get the nesting bug! I am not sure if I've got it quite yet. Taylor's room is quite a mess from unpacking everything I've gotten from the showers and so forth. It's giving me a bit of anxiety. On one hand I'm chomping at the bit to get in there and start organizing and putting everything away. But on the other hand, I'm avoiding the room like the plague because it is just so overwhelming!

Do you see what I mean?





So I've started small! My goal today was to get the crib sheets, receiving blankets, and lap pads washed, line the drawers, and get the mattress I bought yesterday dressed and on the crib!

The new mattress!


Hating the fact that I have to wash EVERYTHING!!


Mission Accomplished!



Tomorrow is the 4th of July and Chris and I have the day off together. My goal for tomorrow is to go through the clothes I have and pick out the ones I'm going to need right away during those first few days and get those washed, folded, and put away in the dresser. I'm going to try to get the rest of the clothes organized and put away in the closet by size. Not sure if this will come together or not but we shall see. My goal for Chris tomorrow is to get the 2 curtain rods up and the three wall shelves hung so we can put up some of my cutesy nick knacks! Then we are going to hit some fireworks! =)

I hope that everyone has a safe and happy 4th with friends and family! Have a great holiday!
