The Home Stretch

Well, I feel like we're finally at the point where the end is in sight...or I guess I should say a new beginning is upon us!  Sorry it's been so long since our last post, things have been crazy the past several weeks.  With only 4 1/2 weeks to go, Zach and I have been busy over the last few months wrapping up all our projects, finishing the nursery, and celebrating with friends at some fabulous baby showers.  We are hoping to get most of the prep work done by the end of May so that we can be ready if she comes early and if not, we can enjoy some rest and relaxation during June. 

I've been feeling well for the most part, just the normal aches and general discomfort that comes with getting bigger (and bigger!) and apparently she's still got a lot of growing to do, so it should make for a fun finish to this journey.  Here I am at 34 weeks and I have definitely done more growing since this picture was taken a week ago:

Also, as promised, here are some pictures from the nursery, which is just about finished.  We do have a chair on order that will be arriving a week before the baby unless she beats it here and a few more pieces of artwork to hang, but for the most part everything is up and ready to go:

A few very special thank you's to Mary for the beautiful crib and to Becca for the incredible dresser/changing table she found and refinished for us.  My parents also gifted us the chair which is coming soon...we'll post some pics when it arrives. 

As we get closer to Baby Girl's debut, we'll continue to keep you all posted.  Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks as we get ready for this huge life change!  We're so excited to meet our little girl and can't wait to begin the journey of parenthood.  Love to you all!
