8 days left!

Friday December 12th we saw Dr. Liu for the last time before the BIG due date.  We had another great appointment and were so happy to hear that things are looking good as far as the health of the baby goes.  The shocker....the baby is probably going to be a whopping 8lbs+!  I was like WHAT!  I guess it makes sense though because I was 8lbs, and the baby is suppose to be similar to how much you weighed.

I thought that since this may be one of the last entries that I would post some final pictures of the baby's room.  I love her room!  It is exactly what I imagined that our baby's room would look like.  Cam did such a great job helping me arrange and hang everything.  He was so patient even when I was "crazy lady with a baby" and kept nagging him.  It really has been a learning experience for the both of us as we prepare for the baby, but we are so excited for this next chapter of our lives! 
The room looks more complete now that there is more furniture in it.  I am still waiting on my chair, but other then that all of the big pieces are in.  I love the curtains which my mom made, and the pink little hanging flower balls were from one of my showers.  It all goes together so well!  
Here is another corner of the room with the changing table and crib.  It is amazing how all of the stuff actually fits in the room.  
The plaques on the wall are what inspired me for the decor of the baby's room in the first place. When I was in New York visiting my sister we went to this adorable cupcake shop and they had similar plaques on the wall.  I actually found the one that says "imagine" in the middle at a small boutique in SLO, a very special place to both Cam and I.  I am hoping to find a couple more to add to the wall.  The white shelf above the plaques will have our little baby's name on it..........which is still up in the air.  We will finalize the name once we see her because we are torn between three names that we really like!
Look not even born yet and already her closet rivals mine....
Bags are packed and ready to go.
I can't wait to use my Juicy baby bag.

The home stretch......

Hey Everyone!  So I am at 38 1/2 weeks, 11 days left.  I am not sure once the baby comes how well I will maintain the blog, maybe I will pass the torch to Cam.  We are getting so excited, anxious, scared, nervous and so many more emotions, but feel like we are as ready as can be.  I mean come on now, are you ever really ready?  

Tomorrow I go in for my final check up appointment before the due date appointment.  I am not really sure exactly when she is going to come.  At the last appointment she was still sitting pretty high, but the ladies at work swear she has dropped.  I am feeling really good, energized and moblie....though I now have a slight waddle.  Our bags are packed and ready to go.  We are dying to meet this little girl!  This weekend Cam and I will just be doing some final touches on the baby's room and relaxing. Stay tuned!

Thanksgiving

These pictures are getting posted pretty late, but I have just been so busy with work that I have not had time to sit down and rest.  So, Cam and I celebrated  Thanksgiving a little differently this year.  Since I was unable to travel to Redding (Cam's Grandma June lives in Redding) due to how far along I was in the pregnancy, Cam and I spent Thanksgiving apart.  I celebrated with my family, and Cam with his.  It was a little different from what we were use to, but we were happy to have been able to celebrate with both the Bonner's and that Watts'.  

The whole Thanksgiving weekend actually ended up being not as we had planned.  Cam ended up getting terribly sick with the flu which put him out of commission for a couple of days.  I was battling a cold that I was certain I got from work, so I was in bed for most of the weekend as well. We did however get to enjoy one dinner with Cal Poly friends.  Alicia and Geoff were here from San Diego so it was nice to see them and to do one last dinner in San Francsico.
