When is he coming?

With only two more weeks until my due date Derek and I are counting down the days (15) and wondering when our precious boy is going to come. We're ready, we're waiting. And maybe to help pass the time, does anyone have any guesses??

Date, time, weight, length

I've been having some contractions but nothing substantial or consistent. Shout out a guess!

(sorry no prize, just fun :)

Pumpkins and Leaves

I love autumn time! The leaves are turning and it's so beautiful. Derek and I decorated pumpkins with spray paint and leaves. Super simple and fun :)

 Look at all the leaves around my car. I am savoring these last few moments of dry leaves without rain or snow. I love this weather!

My birthday

I'm 24 ... :)

Derek spoiled me by making all the meals over the weekend and we went to an ISU volleyball game. My mom gave me a Cricket paper cutting machine and I love it already!! Derek gave me some scrapbook paper and accessories for the Cricket. And tomorrow I get to have a pedicure!

Here is a picture on my birthday - about 35 weeks.

 We went to Burley this weekend and celebrated Kara, my and Lauren's birthday. Steve made us a autumn cake - so pretty! :)

 I love this picture of all of us blowing our cake - and Steve with his mouth open too :)

And sweet Derek playing with our neice Lindzey. She is walking and so so cute!

I love autumn and the beautiful tree leaves. It's such a fun time to put on a sweater but still enjoy warm walking weather.

Update on Adam: He is HEAD DOWN!! :) So happy. I felt that he was but it was confirmed at my appointment yesterday. Also, I'm still measuring great - 36 cm at my 36 week appointment. And I'm not dilated but that's normal. I have a feeling he'll be coming around 11.11.11 :) We are so excited for his arrival. We've even put the car seat in the car. 23 more days til I'm due!

Nursery

I keep meaning to post pictures of the nursery so far but it's not done. But it's pretty close and I don't know when I will feel it is "done". So here you go:

 This is our beloved tree sticker :) 110 stickers up on that wall. We love it!

 There is an owl sticker coming out of the window. It's kind of cluttered still with our high chair, bouncer, humidifier etc. Isn't the owl humidifier cute?

 My glider :) so comfortable

 I made this nursing cover! :) yes I know. I'm so crafty (not really, pretty easy but I'm super proud of it none the less). It's cute, not quite boy - ish but it's going to be on me :) It has boning to peek down on my baby and a velcro strap to adjust.

 My diaper bag. It's funny the things Derek insisted on and he wanted to get me a Timbuk2 bag. I love it. Lots of pockets and I can wipe it all down. Velcro and snaps and it will go across my chest messenger style.

And I love my Boppy pillow my good friend Makall gave me. So cute! Going with the nature theme.

That's it so far. Getting the bedding and changing pad soon and then we'll be set. All just a matter of where to put everything.

Oh, I also have my three wheeled jogging stroller and carseat and the carseat cover I made :) Thanks to my friend Vanessa and her sewing machine!

we love the coast

 Derek and I love the coast! This is our very favorite restaurant - Local Ocean in Newport, Oregon. We should have taken a picture of our food but we ate it too fast! It is fresh seafood (really fresh - we're sitting by the dock) with a spicy side. We went here for our honeymoon and always have to stop when we come back. If you ever go you have to try their dessert - a lemon shortcake with whipped cream and fresh mangos, blueberries and strawberries....yum!

 Derek loves the docks - all the boats and the Newport bridge. We enjoyed three days at the coast and two nights. We visited lots of towns and just strolled through them with no agenda. It was so fun.

 We went to the Sea Lion caves near Florence. I had never been there! But Derek had been as a kid and had fun memories seeing all the crazy sea lions.

 This is Adam's first trip to the coast! Derek and I camped (yeah that's right, I'm an amazing pregnant woman! Thank goodness for cots!). Our campsite was right by the coast. We made our camp meals at our tent site and then walked around the corner to this beautiful view. Aren't our chairs cute? :) It's almost like they're holding hands.

 This is Depoe Bay - the smalled bay in the world. Derek loves this spot too!

 I am so pregnant :)

Overall it was a great trip and a great vacation just Derek and I
