Maternity photos

Our friend Eric is going to take some photos of Anthony and I in our house on saturday so we have some good photos of me preggos and of our little house....but I got nervous that I will go into labor before then (so silly), so I took some maternity photos myself today...they were actually all pretty blurry but i tried :)

yay for 38 weeks!

Babymoon

Anthony took me on a trip over the weekend! It was fun because I didnt know where we were going...he took me to Amelia Island and we stayed by the beach. we ate yummy food and did yoga on the beach, and anthony boogie-boarded while I laid in the water--it was perfect temperature. It was lovely to get away for a couple of days, and so romantic...thanks Anthony

37 weeks!

Well we made it to 37 weeks, which means that I can go into labor at any time and still be able to have it at the birth center! so she wont be too early, now we just need her to not be too late :) ...here's their website: http://birthcenterofgainesville.org/

Home-made Co-Sleeper :)

Anthony and I made a frame for the baby's bed! it will but up against our mattress so she can sleep next to me, but in her own little bed...We have a travel bed that fits into the frame as the mattress...I'll post a picture when it's up in the loft :)

baby hammock

Mary got a baby hammock for us so we would have a place to lay down the baby downstairs. I hung it up today! It's really nice organic cotton canvas hammock and has a really nice swinging motion. I put some string up underneath the loft so we can tuck it up out of the way when we're not using it. Daisy's bed is right under it (she's been really liking to sleep in the laundry basket :)

Baby Showers!

Thanks to Mom, Mary and Tina for throwing me two awesome baby showers! The first was a web cam shower that my mom planned for me--since I'm so far away in Florida, she had a party at her house in Ohio and then Anthony and I joined them on the webcam. Everyone held up their presents to the webcam: Yay technology! I'm real mad now because I didn't take any pictures....

Tina and Mary (Anthony's sister and mom) threw me a really beautiful shower at Tina's house. Tina made a lovely cookie tree (with awesome baby onesies and baby buggy shaped cookies) and Mary carved a baby buggy out of a watermelon for the fruit salad, and made a cake in the shape of a baby buggy. you guys rock. thanks :)

Thanks so everyone for all the lovely gifts and support :)

36 weeks

about one month to go...my due date is October 16th, but the midwife told me it's more like a "due month". At 37 weeks I can give birth at the Birth Center without having to go the hospital. That's next week! I guess by that time the babies lungs are mature enough to breath on their own, where if you go into labot prior to that, they arent.

Windows!

Anthony trimmed our windows with really nice wood that Dave had in his shop: it's sassafras and sooooo pretty. It's been a little bit cooler, so we've been opening up in the morning and evening: I just hung a screen on our door so we could leave it open without so many bugs!
