5 1/2 weeks...

We are getting close to Baby Cole's arrival! I went to the doctor yesterday and there is nothing to report. Everything was good. She did my group B strep test and since I had been having contractions, she checked my cervix. No progress...he is still up high and no dialating...Which is a good thing since I still have about 5 1/2 weeks left.

Halle is getting really excited about getting a baby brother. She asks about him all the time and likes to put her head to my belly and listen for baby Cole to make "noisies." Often she will hug my belly and say "I love baby Cole" She just melts my heart. She is going to be a great big sister.

We have been staying pretty busy the past couple of weeks with birthdays, gymnastics, doctor's appointments, subbing and a photoshoot. Halle was chosen to model tutu's for Baby Cakes Boutique. I can't wait to see all of the pictures. Here is the "sneak peek" photo. Fake smile, but still so cute! I also am including a pic of baby Cole's bed and one of Halle watching cartoons in her toy basket.

Still have LOTS to do...

Well, I have been able to check a few things off of my list lately in getting the nursery ready for Cole's arrival. We have about 8 more weeks!!!

My dad went to get the baby crib out of the attic a couple of weeks ago for me and realized that he only had part of the crib..that's not going to do us a whole lot of good. So, the hunt was on for a crib. After searching craigslist every day.multiple times a day, we found a nice cherry wood convertible crib this past weekend. Since we now had a crib and bedding but no mattress, we went out and purchased that too so we could put the bedding on the crib. It is so cute! Pics to come soon, my camera battery is dead at the moment.

So here is the list of things to do as of now:
1. move the full size bed to Ross' house
2. make curtains for the nursery - fabric has already been purchased!
3. make another Boppy pillow cover *I made one already and have to say I am pretty impressed with myself*
4. get a few more necessities
5. check and make sure I have all parts needed for my breastpump (and make sure it still works)
6. put a clear coat on the letters for the nursery (might do that today)
7. recover glider rocker cushions

I don't feel as overwhelmed about getting ready for Cole as I did before. I feel that if he came early, we have what we need to get by. I am just so ready to meet this little man.
