Big Belly and Big Girl Room

Many people have been giving me a difficult time because I am not giving enough updates on the blog regarding Baby Sister. So, here's the latest. Baby Sister is still very active, but not quite ready to come out yet. Her head is down, way down so that's great for delivery, but makes standing for long periods of time difficult. I am about 2.5 centimeters dilated and will be going back to the doctor tomorrow for my 39 week check-up. Wow! I can't believe we've made it to this point!

On Sunday evening we had a practice run to labor and delivery at the hospital. Without giving away too many medical details, I am having a few urinary tract issues so the doctor wanted me to go in and make sure labor hadn't started. We were there for about an hour and a half and were then sent home. Ironically we were in the same room I delivered Lauren in. It was actually rather reassuring and comforting to have a short walk through before the big day really comes.

Here's a profile shot of my belly from Thanksgiving day.




Now on to Lauren's big girl room. A few months ago I promised more photos after her room was finally completed. Well, it's been completed for awhile, I just haven't gotten around to taking the photos. Finally her room was clean enough and she wasn't sleeping when I thought about taking the photos.


Creating Lauren's name was a little art project of mine. I love doing any type of paper crafts so of course I was going to create something for Lauren's new room.




Lauren's reading corner. I think she talked Daddy into reading her at least two bedtime stories last night even though she was already up past her bedtime. It's really cute to see the two of them sitting on the bean bag reading at the end of each day.
