Odds & Ends Photos
No, no baby yet, but here are some photos from the last few days...
Cat is curled up on a new hand quilted baby blanket from one of my co-workers...it has flannel & between that and the sunshine she was a content kitty.
39 weeks- somewhat dorky photo but that belly does stick out! :)
Baby's room...l - r, guest bed & chest of drawers (w/quilts my grandma H quilted), crib, changing table, and fun floor mats (thank to Katie L)!
Our new three shelf bookshelf that I put together today (at 39 1/2 weeks)- TJ was home but I wanted to put it together myself. :) Thank you to everyone for these books (Katie L- thank you again!).
This is our "second" nursery...it's really our craft/laundry room, but now has the port-a-crib and a portable changing station. Hopefully when baby is crying in night I can come over here and not keep my hubby or mom awake as they sleep on the other side of the house where our bedroom and the guestroom are.
More Christmas decor photos!
The house is one of our favorite additions this year.
And here's what I normally look like...we were heading out of the house but really until the moment we leave my robe stays on. So here's 39 weeks with my robe. :D

December, & No Baby Yet!
December has arrived but no, the baby has not. :) I am due officially on the 18th and am now on weekly visits to the midwife. The baby could come at any time from now till the end of the month, so we're just trying to be patient. My last day at work was on Monday. I am working on odds and ends around the house & I think will have enough projects that if the baby waits till after Christmas I'll still have things to do! Baby is running out of room & I can feel the little knee & foot pushing quite a bit.
It's been cold here- under 20 I think! Fortunately we've not had snow yet...snow is super here when you can just stay home. So we vote for snow the day we arrive home with baby!
TJ is working as much as ever, averaging about 76 hours a week. He got last Sunday off though and we enjoyed going to church & visiting with friends.
Two household Christmas photos!
I changed our sheets and came in later to find the cat curled up under my pillow! I guess it was warm and cozy there. :)
