Today’s the day!! We’ve reached will-it-ever-get-here June 17 – our due date! Things certainly feel that they’re moving in the right direction, but no sure signs yet. We’ll keep the blog updated whenever things do start, so keep checking! And thanks for all the prayers!!
We’ve got our little nursery ready for the few days we’ll have after the baby comes home before our move the first week of July. I wish we could take the room with us!
The beautiful furniture was passed down to us from Pete’s parents when they moved last fall.
Here you can see our Pack n Play. We’ll be getting a crib after the move.
Lots of yellow, including the adorable blanket made by Bryn, Ang’s pen pal of 18 years.
All-important supplies.
The cloth diapers we’ll be using after the first month.
books books books!
Our little duck friend.
We’ve got our computer back in order, so here are a few of the photos we’ve wanted to post!
Jake’s UMD graduation in May (Ang’s brother)
Pete gives his first pedicure!
He did an excellent job.
I’ve always wanted to be able to do this.
We went camping the last weekend in May at Rice Lake State Park.
Ah, the sunshine. (37 weeks)
Passing the time with a little baking.
Since we’re lacking a computer at home this week, I’m not able to use my newly found free time to update our blog with all the pictures I had hoped to post. We’ve taken a lot lately! We went camping last weekend, which was a last-time-before-baby-comes event we were glad to squeeze in. We’ve seen a few movies and have completely enjoyed spending time together. So we’ll get some of those pics up soon. And some of the ever-growing belly.
Twelve days to due date! We had an appointment today, which went well. We’re just waiting at this point. I’m definitely enjoying having time to clean, read, watch movies, and take plenty of naps since I finished teaching last Friday. We’ll post any news once things start happening!!
Today we’ve reached 37 weeks, meaning we’re full term today! Wahoo! Little Dino is safe to arrive any day now, although we realize it could still be weeks and weeks before he or she decides to make an appearance. Things are looking good from this side of things. Just about everything is ready at home and hospital bags are somewhat packed. I teach just through the end of this week, so in three more days I’ll be finished. Absolutely perfect timing. There are little things I’d like to be sure to wrap up in the next week or two and I’d like to get a few naps in since sleeping all the way through the night has become a bit more challenging in the last week.
As we’re getting through these last couple weeks, we’d like to ask for your prayers. We’re trying to take in all of our quiet moments together, knowing that things are about to change big time. We can’t wait!
We’re now less than one month away from our due date!! Although there are still a few things we’d like to check off our to-do lists, we’re feeling pretty good about everything at this point. I got to do some gardening in front of the house yesterday, which was one of my goals, so that should be set until we move. The house is clean, the guest bedroom and extra beds are made up for visiting grandmas & grandpas and aunts & uncles, and baby clothes are washed. I will be finished teaching by the end of next week (excellent timing…May 29) which will give me some time to finish those things still patiently waiting on my list.
Speaking of moving, we’ve set the date for July 1. Yikes, that doesn’t give us much time in June. I’m hoping that my nesting will really kick in after school is out so I can get some things packed before the little one arrives. Pete reserved the date with a moving company, which will no doubt be a life saver for us. We’re both looking forward to being in Minneapolis, although that means we’ll be leaving Owatonna. It’s been a short stay, but we’ve enjoyed it very much. We’ve got adventures ahead!
