38 Weeks Down, 2 To Go...

I am officially 38 Weeks and this little boy has made a comfy little bed on my bladder. I promise that I'm not complaining because I have had a great pregnancy! Here is a picture of me from the other day. I was modeling my new Target pajamas and Blake decided to take a picture so everyone can see my big belly. I think it's getting smaller as he continues to drop lower and lower...and for those who are wondering, my waist is now 43 inches.

Also, now that we are getting closer to the due date, we have been working very hard at getting the nursery completely ready. Clothes have been washed, folded, and put in the correct drawers (that pretty much sums up what I have done for the nursery). Now, let me tell you and show you what my husband has been doing. Those of you who know Blake know that he is quite particular and very, very picky. A nursery with the basic baby blue or pastel colors would NEVER be good enough for him or his son. I would be perfectly fine with that, so HE took over. He wanted to have a pirate theme, which I think was his excuse to have skulls, black, and gray in his kid's room. However, he really surprised me with his hard work and great ideas. Here is the end result:

These curtains were sewn by HIM.

He found this dresser on Craigslist, painted it black, and added the skulls and crossbones.



The walls (painted exclusively by him) were first painted in a light yellow, then covered with a faux paint to look like a treasure map. To top it off, he ordered this treasure map to tie it all together.



And, finally, the crib...yes, he did the bumper pads himself.

Some may think he's a little on the "metro" side, but I think he's already an awesome dad. Plus, he's a great husband because he did this all himself. And, I will always remember how hilarious it was to see him sitting in front of my sewing machine with the measuring tape draped over his shoulders as he created this nursery a little bit at a time. I love you, Cakies!!
