Well we had our 39 1/2 week appt today and baby seems to be quite happy where she is, so our magical due date may come and go without much excitement. If that's the case the doctor will do some tests to make sure baby is ok and then will probably induce 7-10 days past due date if she doesn't come on her own.
Today was basically my last official day at the client. I'll be 'working from home' for the next 2 days to finish things up, Friday is a holiday, and then I'll be on leave, so I'm hoping baby doesn't wait too long or Mommy-to-be is going to be very bored. We've finished the nursery and most of the chores we needed to do. It's too hot to spend much time outside, and a girl can only watch so much lifetime and oprah. Guess I better hit the bookstore before my brain turns to moosh.

The nursery is ready!
I'm going to try this blog thing to post pictures and give updates of our new adventure that we're embarking on. Today we are t-minus 4 days and counting until Miss Sarah Beth Katherine's arrival. And we are counting. I still feel pretty good, but now that everything is ready for baby we are ready to get going!
We're very proud of our finished nursery:

I made the name thing and Kurt had the brilliant idea to hang the letters from a curtain rod. Cute, huh? Here are some more pictures...


We got the crib from http://www.cribs.com/ and the bedding and curtains from http://www.babybedding.com/. The rug was a find from a local furniture warehouse and the rocker and little table were finds from an antique store.



I refinished this dresser years ago - looks great in Sarah Beth's room. The artwork is courtesy of my nephew Ryan.

The diaper cake my Mom made. So cute! I hate to dismantle it but diapers will certainly be in demand around here shortly.

Baby's first patent leather shoes! Appropriately a gift from her stylish Great-grandma.

The changing table is an antique sideboard that I've had for several years. We repainted it and added new pulls. The picture frames are awaiting close-ups of baby!
