Update

I've pushed back my due date to August 5th because as you may know, we are going for an intervention free labor and delivery. Because ultrasounds and my cycle have placed me anywhere from August 1st to August 5th, it's best to get used to the idea of the baby coming later rather than sooner so an induction doesn't sound quite so inticing. I'm trying to re-adjust my thought process and celebrate weekly milestones on Tuesdays rather than Fridays. Hopefully by 40 weeks, I'll be used to the change.

The pregnancy has been uneventful, which is definitely a good thing - especially since two women that are a month or so ahead of me are/have been induced for low fluid levels at 36 weeks. We finish our Lamaze classes next Thursday with a class party. It's been such a good class and I'm going to miss going each week!

I'm up 18 pounds and growing by the week. I had to retire a pair of maternity capris because they only have side panels (no stretchy panel in the front) and they were just too uncomfortable to wear for more than an hour at a time! Good thing I bought them from the resale shop for only $7!

The only other thing I've accomplished baby wise since my last post was making all the curtains for the baby's room. So far, I've gone through almost 36 yards of fabric and I haven't even started on the bedding yet! Pictures to come!

I'm dying to see pictures of both the curtains and YOU!

I don't think you could look more adorable if you tried. You look fantastic and you've only gained 18 pounds! I'm so jealous!!!!!
