36 Weeks!

We are 36 weeks today.  In some ways the time has flown by, and in others it seems like forever!  I know we haven't been updating much, we are bad bloggers.  The only excuse I can offer, is that we have been blessed with a fairly uneventful pregnancy and our updates would only have consisted of, yep. . . everything looks good and right on track.  No too exciting.  Now we have some cool things to share, along with some pictures!

I have been making things for Eliza.  I blame it on Pintrest.

During the hospital tour part of our birth class we learned that they have hooks on the door so we can hang a wreath, or some decoration celebrating the baby's birth.  So, of course I came right home and browsed Pintrest looking for ideas.  My little Eliza needs to have a wreath on her door!  Her visitors need to be able to find her!   So this is my creation.  When she arrives, you all will know what to look for on the door.

Pintrest (and my awesome new sewing machine) is also responsible for this car seat cover.

and these pillow cases

Might be silly, but I had read several places to bring your own pillow to the hospital with a recognizable pillow case.  I always bring my own pillow when I sleep somewhere other than my own bed anyway, so I knew I would be taking one to the hospital.  What can be more recognizable then ones I make myself.  Obviously the purple one is mine, and the pirate one is for J.  He needs his own pillow too, I think.  

We finished up Eliza's nursery this weekend.  It looks awesome!   The design idea was created by her beautiful and talented Aunt Chenelle, and painted by her wonderful Uncle Tyler.  

We still have a wall shelf to hang, and pictures and whatnot to hang on the wall, but all the big things are in.   The quilt on her crib is my first quilt, and the blanket on the rocking chair is from her great aunt Debbie.  We still have to get her fish tank set up, but that is J's project.  

We were given an awesome shower by J's family at the end of April.  

Eliza received lots of awesome gifts, we are truly thankful and appreciative of everything!  Now, we are just waiting.  Waiting on our little girl to make her big world debut, so we can finally meet her.  Hopefully, our next update is complete with pictures of a newborn!
