36 weeks....almost

Today is May 29th which means that our baby girl is due to make her arrival into this world in LESS than one month! The weeks all seem to be running together now. It's been a flurry of preparation in addition to our usual crazy, busy schedule. We went to a child birth class a couple weeks ago and have a Baby Care and Breastfeeding class coming up in the next two weeks. It's funny, I think the more we "learn," the less prepared we feel! The nursery is pretty much put together now - with the exception of waiting on a new window covering and hanging the curtains. I have included some pics below of some of my finishing details.

Last night we went out to dinner with another couple who is expecting their baby boy within days of us. It's fun to compare notes and bellies!
Here's just about 36 weeks.

I got this handpainted light cover and these drawer pulls off of etsy.com


Owl canvas for over the changing table - etsy.com

Cross that says "for this child I have prayed" - a gift from my friend Mary Kyle - I think it's perfect over the closet door.

33 weeks

It's hard to believe that in just about 6 weeks, Baby Girl Polanski will be making her scheduled arrival into the world. Since Steve and I are both so type A and punctual, I have decided that she is likely to be born right on her due date in true Polanski fashion. We attended childbirth class this weekend - I thought the class did a good job of touching on everything but not going into TOO much detail on any one area. It was the perfect amount of information for both of us. Steve's Sunday morning golfing buddies were so thoughtful and threw us a shower last night. Not only was it fun to celebrate the pending arrival of Baby P, but it was so nice to meet everyone and their wives. The shower was hosted at the beautiful home of Pat and Elizabeth...oh, I could have moved right in! Here are some pictures. First an overdue belly shot, then a few pictures from the shower, including one of my favorite gift, the cutest tutu onesie that I have ever seen!
