33 Weeks!

Twenty-eight days until full term! That's a little scary. According to one website, the fetus is the heft of a pineapple and according to another, she's the size of a honeydew melon. I remember when she was the size of a poppy seed. Oh, how quickly they grow.

Here's a picture of CP, taken a few weeks ago, at 31 weeks.


This weekend, we had our little baby party at the Red Line Tap. MJ provided some delicious food. Annie baked 70 (!) cupcakes and as promised, she went out and bought Popeye's. All in all a cool event, alot of our favorite people (the ones in Chicago and Milwaukee anyway) in one room.

So now we're in nursery mode. A few weeks ago, we painted. Here's a picture of the painting in progress. With the help of our friend N, we settled on a light orange. It looked yellow at first, which was fine by CP since yellow is her favorite color. It grew on me and now that it's been a couple of weeks, it's getting more orange. And when the sun is shining, the color is amazing.


Last night, we finally got around to putting up the wall decal. It was not the most fun thing in the world. But worth it in the end. I hope it doesn't give her nightmares.



On Friday, our mattress arrives, as well as the changing table (thanks to Irma and Rachel). So look for more nursery post in the next week or so.

32 weeks!

I know I promised to post pictures of the nursery, a while back, after I painted it, but I was hoping to have some other elements (art, mattress, rug)in place before I did. But none of that looks like it's going to happen any time soon. So I will post some "in progress" photos. Except I have no time, ever.

This weekend is our Kegger for Pregger baby party. I'm excited to have all of our friends together in one place, except for the friends who don't live in Chicago.

Last weekend, we went looking for a rug and bedding. This is what we bought instead.

From Old Navy, of all places:

This was made for Robobebe, minus the shirt.


One of the very few pink things she owns, but I think we're okay with pink as long as it's not pastel or too saccharine. And by "we", I mean "me".


This is just cute. Love the use of orange.


And for when the baby goes to visit Sue and Gwen, her first pair of overalls.
