16 days to go... or more (but please, not more)

As slow as I think time is going, it really is flying by because here I am at 38 weeks pregnant and in my last week of work! Jake and I are getting more and more excited - and I love that everytime I call someone they answer with "are you in labor??" - of course I wish I was calling to tell them I'm in labor, it just isn't the case... yet. My favorite is when I call Jake and he answers like this "I'm on the other line with a client... are you in labor?" When I say 'no' he says, "ok, then I'll call you back." Everybody is just waiting for the call. I love it.


A few people have requested pictures of the nursery so I've included some below. The walls are still bare, but I'm waiting for my adorable etsy purchase to be custom framed and the rest I figure I'll fill up as time goes on... pictures of the babe most likely. Any suggestions? I've had fun seeing the nursery gradually come together.



p.s. in the above picture you will see the works of my dear friend Natalie displayed. She made the most amazing quilt and we adore it. I'm just glad Natalie was kind enough to make such a masterpiece AND still decide to give it away. What a great friend indeed!!




I'm also looking for some baby book recommendations... what are your favorites? I have a good start, but would love to know what my friends suggest.


And lastly... here I am - 264 days pregnant. Yes... the face is getting rounder - it's the Oreos. 3 days left of work. 1 baby shower to enjoy. 0 classes left to teach. And who knows how many days until wee little one arrives. I'll keep you posted.




And here's one for a good chuckle... clothes just aren't fitting quite right anymore - this picture makes me laugh.







pps - any photographer suggestions? I know someone I would love to take the pictures, but she doesn't live in Utah, so that doesn't work out so well... I could use some recommendations for newborn pics. Thanks!
