Well we're done! Ben hung the last few things in the nursery last night and we're ready for baby! I've added pics on Facebook and the photo album here. We love the room! Ben jokes that he wants to move back in - purple, flowers and all.

Last night we unpacked the video monitor and gave it a try. It's pretty cool - thanks again Aunt Kathy! We just need to mount it in on the wall for a nice ariel shot of the crib and we're set. My Aunt's also ordered us the bassinet - she's spoiling us rotten! I spoke with my cousin's wife yesterday and their gift to us is a breast pump. The company she works for does pumps so we're getting a nice little gift pack of stuff. Ah the days of having a company product stock room - how I miss it!

So, all is done. The nursery is ready to go, all clean and fully stocked! My next OB is on Monday and I'm hoping to put in three days of work next week before starting mat leave on the 17th. I'm now 37 weeks along and baby can come whenever she likes, we're ready!

Tonight I took myself shopping! Today was my baby shower at work and I got a lovely Babies'R'Us gift certificate. Right after dinner I waddled out to the stores. I got a couple things from B'R'U that I couldn't find elsewhere and am saving the rest for either a bassinet or breast pump (might be able to borrow both from my cousin). I then went over to Wal-Mart to pick up a whole bunch of small things - baby sleeping wedge, matress covers, fitted sheets, washclothes, towels, more burp pads, head hugger and more! Tomorrow I'm going to hit Sears with the last of the that gift certicate for the stroller sheild, change pad and covers. We're almost there! Nursery wise, I just have to get a few things hung and we're all done. I put up the flower and butterfly decals last night and will get the rest of the things organized in there tomorrow on my day off. When Ben gets home he can hang and we can call it a finished nursery! I'm so excited.  

Well it's June now, that means we're probably having a baby this month! Craziness.. the end is near. Thankfully!!

I can't really complain. This has been a smooth, problem free (except for last weeks blip), and easy pregnancy. This past week and a half my feet have been swelling and it's really hard to roll over in bed but otherwise it's been really good!

I went to work yesterday and half of Monday and go back tomorrow. I've got two days off this week and two - three next then I'm done! Tomorrow's my work shower. I know they got me a gift certifiate to somewhere but not sure where. Once I know I can head out and get the rest of the baby's stuff. I can't wait to shop again hehe. Having a baby means a lot of shopping (if you do it a bit at a time) and it's so fun - specially for a little girl.

The nursery is looking fantastic, it's totally amazing. I'm so pleased with it! All the things are almost set up and put in their place. I was hoping to finish tonight but last night Ben tore off half a toenail and was in no condition to be hobbling around putting hanging things in the baby's room. He'll do that tomorrow and being off on Friday I'll probably spend a few hours in there making sure it's all in place. Then I'll post pictures in the photo album here and in Facebook. I can't wait to show it off!! I also can't wait to show Mom when she's down for Father's Day. Without her a lot of it wouldn't have been possible (painting, reno advice, some baby items she picked up). Actually without our friends and family it wouldn't have been possible. Thank you everyone who came to the shower and have helped us with hand-me-downs. We appreciate it!

Had another OB / US today. The US was good, nothing new to report. The baby's still in great condition. I got to see a real close up of her little face (not in 3D or anything). She's adorable so far. Cute little nose, lips etc. All my test results from last week came back fine, nothing to worry about there. My blood pressure is back down to 118 so the OB is happy with that. My group B Step test came back positive (boo!) so I'll have to have IV antibiotics during labour. The chances of passing it onto the baby is very slim so I'm not worried. It's nothing adults need to worry about but can cause problems for newborns. It also means that as soon as my water breaks I need to get to the hospital to start antibiotics... no sending me home cause I'm not far enough along      The OB gave me the OK to work a couple days a week. I did a half day today and will do two full days this week, two full days next week then I'm done. Starting mat leave one week earlier than expected. Not a huge deal.

The nursery is pretty much done!! We got our couple of items from Ikea this weekend which should be built tonight/tomorrow. Ben's done the floor and the crib/change table came yesterday with Ben's ma tante and m'oncle. I've put the crib linens on with the mobile and set up the change table. It's coming along sooooo nice. I'll post pictures as soon as it's done.
