35 weeks

So lil' Evan is now the size of a honeydew according to the all-knowing (of foods and babies, apparently) babycenter.





5 weeks to go and we are getting closer to being semi-prepared. The nursery is almost done. We are now waiting on the lamps and the valance to arrive and we need to have the chandelier hung. The daybed came this morning and it is beautiful and so comfy. It is just wide enough for Brian and me to fit on it facing each other so it will be perfect for us to sit on while I'm nursing the little man (and Brian can rub my feet...the real reason we got the daybed ;) Of course, as soon as I sat on the daybed to try it out, Pearl jumped right on up. Every soft surface in the house is a potential bed for the princess!

We got most of our "gear" at our MN showers and it has been living in boxes in our hallway. Brian put together the stroller last weekend and based on that experience, today I decided that I would alleviate Brian of his "manly" responsibility and start putting the other stuff together. I know it is the last thing he wants to do after work or on the weekends and come to find out, I am actually pretty handy with a screwdriver (the tool and the alcoholic beverage). So, below is all our gear, all put together and waiting for Evan.


Pearl is not quite sure about all this mess but she was willing to pose for a picture!

We have another couples' shower tomorrow thrown by Aunt Lindsay and her sister Meghan. I am sure that the nursery closet will be even more full after...so exciting!
