The Nursery is Ready
It's finally ready but it looks like we'll not be using the crib at first. We decided to get a cosleeper that attaches to our bed. I'll post a picture of it once it's set up - maybe with a baby in it :) Here's the nursery - note the Dancing Green walls!
The crib can convert into a toddler bed and then a double bed. He's one lucky kid. I had a twin bed through college.
MTH still has his Kermit the Frog and he matches the room
Look at all the books Peanut already has!! And, when he's ready, he's got a swing. The quilt was made by MTH's Mom!
The changing table - where all the dirty work will happen.
The only real decorations we have so far! The train and pictures. We need to get some items but of course, Peanut's not really going to care too much - it's more for his parents.

Preparations
As we speak, MTH and I are mkaing big batches of chili and lasagna to freeze for those evenings that we'll not feel like cooking after Peanut makes his appearance. MTH is a master chili cooker and lasagna is quite a simple dish. I think that'll give us at least 6 meals in the freezer. If anyone has ideas for other freezable meals, let me know. We, of course, only have so much room in the freezer :(

Feeling Good
Earlier this week, I wasn't feeling so good as I either had a cold or allergies. Who knew that in my 35th week of pregnancy I would not feel good because of sniffles. Now that I can breathe and my throat doesn't hurt, I feel fine. Of course, rolling over in the nighttime is still a chore. There's this big basketball stuck to my stomach that doesn't always want to move at the same rate as the rest of my body. Therefore, I have to make an actual effort to move. That doesn't really allow for good sleeping. Oh well, I guess it's natures way of getting me ready for when the baby is no longer a part of me.
I'll be posting some nursery photos soon. The crib, changing table, book shelf and dresser are all assembled and in the baby's room. We also have a swing that's ready to go. We're most likely going to get a co-sleeper that attaches to the bed in order to have him in the room with us in the beginning. It will make feeding and changing diapers in the middle of the night much easier. There's a place to store the diaper changing stuff right there and then, as long as everything goes as planned, I'll be the food source.
I've made one exciting purchase - a book called Itsy Bitsy Yoga. I can't wait to try it out.
The other exciting purchase hasn't happened yet but will soon. It's a wrap for "wearing" the baby. The problem has been trying to decide which one to buy. There are so many choices. I have finally decided to try the Moby wrap first. Almost all of the reviews say that it's very comfortable and that there are no backaches even after a couple of hours of use. Since I'll be using it most in the fall and winter, it seems like a good idea as it will be hard for us to overheat in it.
This weekend should be pretty relaxed as our list of things to do is getting shorter. I do still need to pack. I am allowed to wear my own gown but I need to find a cheap one that won't matter what happens to it. The Target near our house is undergoing a huge renovation/expansion and doesn't have anything. I just have to bite the bullet and travel to another Target. I also need to go buy a few nursing items. This shopping is definitely not as much fun as regular clothes shopping.

Atlanta Baby Shower
MAT, MAH, MTH's Mom, my Mom and SM threw a wonderful shower for me in Atlanta a few weeks back. As I mentioned in a previous post, I had two expert photographers. ETK has beat 2.718 in uploading her pictures so here's a few from her set. The shower was a lot of fun. It was catered by none other than MTH's brother, Chef H and his girlfriend, Lotusluna (or EH). The menu included mini Beef Wellington, portobello mushroom sandwiches, tuna salad sandwiches and a caprese salad. It was all delicious. We had a nice punch made by MAH. And, of course, we ended with dessert - CAKE!

My Current Muses
I haven't gotten into photography like ETK but I do use my camera a fair amount. My two "muses" are MTH and Phoebe. Here's a few (plus two by MTH)
Phoebe playing with her catnip filled mouse
Of course, the expectation is that I (and MTH) will have a new muse in less than 3 months! I'm sure you'll be inundated!
