Only 8 Weeks Left...

And there is just so much to accomplish before our DD arrives. Today hits the 32nd week of my pregnancy, so that means we can have the baby in as little as 5 weeks (37), 8 weeks (40 weeks), or the latest which would be 10 weeks (42). Time really does fly, my Dad really wasn't kidding.

So since there has been so much to do, this blog has been neglected. BUT I wanted to provide some sneak peaks at what we have been doing...

Decor for the nursery:
The baby's name hasn't been revealed to our family or friends yet (I promise it will be soon) but I needed to get started on the letters of her name that will be hung up on the walls of her nursery. Because of my taste (or maybe lack there of), I wanted each letter to be of a different design / pattern. So here is the 'S'.

I am not sure if I ever mentioned that my hubby loves to paint as well. It is one of his many talents. Anyway, he decided he wanted to be a part of the decor, so he started to paint a picture for the nursery. It is his own interpretation of this painting sold by Pottery Barn Kids. Please note this picture is not the completed painting.

Lastly, one of the many projects my Mom was trying to complete for my surprise shower was a shadow box. It is something that I have created for many Mommies-to-be in the past and this time, it was for me :). Because of time constraints and all the work my Mom has to do, the project got assigned to me. I loved every second of it. Here is the contents inside the shadow box. Again, an unfinished project picture.

The Countdown Has Officially Begun...

The countdown has officially begun. We are less than 10 weeks away from welcoming you, our DD (dearest daughter), into this world. Mommy and Papi are just too excited for words. We peek into the nursery nearly every day just imagining what it will be like when you are here. They are such great moments and ones that noone can take away! We pray each day for your health and safety during these last few weeks and pray that we don't run into any issues. Our perfect little baby, that's what we dream of and hope we are blessed with. If only you can see your Papi's face everytime he feels you move or when he puts his face or hands on my belly while he speaks to you.


If I had my choice, I would love for you to be born closer to 40 weeks. I know it may seem like forever but this gives you the chance to be fully developed and ready for this world. It would break my heart if you would suffer because of coming out to soon. So let's work together on this little mama. You will be here in our arms before you know it. We love you!!
