Aren't they pretty?!?!

My husband let me indulge myself and get my toes done!! Being that I couldn't cut my own toe nails anymore, it was imperative to have something done!

Getting a pedicure really makes me happy! Thanks, love for letting me indulge!

a little closer to being ready...

I got a few more things organized in the nursery, and my bag is packed for the most part!

This past weekend, we went and got a few more things for the nursery...crib mattress, changing table pad, etc. So, now we have a few more essentials.

Like, I said my bag is packed for the most part...I will just need to put a few last minute items in there, when the time comes.

I have 20 days left until my due date. I am measuring 1 week ahead..but ya know who knows if that will make a difference in when Goober will show his/her face!

36 weeks

So, I am now 37 weeks..clearly I am little behind...again...but well better late than never!

So, here is my 36 week picture...I also thought it was time to take a picture in a Notre Dame shirt. Being that when I told Brian I was pregnant, I also told him that we were going to a Notre Dame game for his birthday. Being that it was 7am, I don't which shocked him more....that I was pregnant or that we were going to Notre Dame for a game!

My Penance...

I met with my spiritual director last week, and it was my penance to put this verse on my desk. He asked if I did calligraphy...I said, "No, I do photoshop!" So, this is what I created!

I really love this verse, because it reminds us that the "fear of God" is not "fear" as we often define it, rather it is a canopy of blessings! God has taken me through many series of events over the last few months, and even if there are trials...there are blessings in the midst of them. This I need to remember!

As we await the arrival of our little miracle, I revel in the canopy of blessings!!!!

Thank you Lord, for the miracle within me and all the blessings that will continue to come with it!

Ready for Bedtime

Well...almost.

The Crib is all put together!! We just need to get a mattress and put the sheets on, but technically we won't need those things for a few months...being that the baby will be sleeping in that beautiful cradle you see in front of me! My grandfather made that for all of us Patt kids, and we all slept in it! I remember showing off my baby sister to my best friend Stacey, when Amber was sleeping in there after she came home from the hospital!

Also in the room is a bunch of the stuff we have gotten so far..so much fun stuff! As Brian says, "it all needs to find a home!" I guess that means I need to clean out the closet in that room! Darn it! I thought I was done cleaning out spaces....

Now we're ready...

For the last few weeks I had been worried..thinking, what if this baby were to come now!?? I asked a few of my friends who are already mom's asking them, "what do I REALLY need, if the baby were to come early?" Their answers were all the same..."a car seat to get the baby home!"

My mom and my best friend Jacquie had a shower for us back home this past weekend, and it was so fun! We got lots of fun stuff for the baby. Towels, onsies, blankets, outfits, a first aid kit, diaper rash ointment, a diaper bag, diapers, and even the crib (thanks Grandma and Grandpa Patt) (although the baby will sleep in the cradle for the first few months. The cradle that my grandfather made, and all 5 of us Patt kids slept in!) But, today, we got the car seat and stroller!!!! (Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Meier) So, now we can get the baby home, to use the towels, onsies and crib!!!

I must have been so excited to get this stroller that when I got dressed this morning, I unconsciously dressed myself in colors that would match the stroller!!

Next task...pack my hospital bag!





Look...the baby is "in" the car seat! haha!!

The other day I decided to google images of "baby born at 34 weeks" to see what Goober actually looks like inside right now....can we say that I was just in AWE!!!!! Seriously...check out the link and you will see what I mean! Our little Goober is a full baby in there....i am not sure why this fascinates me so much...i guess feeling the baby move so much, it just continues to amaze me that it is our baby in there moving around and not just my organs doing weird things!
