Little Princess's Bedroom
Baby is not here yet. . . but her room is ready and waiting for her!
(And boy is it GIRLY!)
I'm so thankful that dear hubby was willing to do the painting!
(That smell sure made me nauseous!)
My favorite thing in her room is this sweet chandelier,
I can't wait to rock with her underneath it!

Maternity Pictures
Disclaimer: First, let me say, if you don't like maternity photos, skip this post (everyone feels really differently about the whole belly thing.)
Since (we are planning on) this being my last baby, and since I usually avoid being photographed while I'm pregnant, I decided to bite the bullet and get some maternity pictures taken. I figured that in the future I would probably regret it if I didn't have some nice ones. (I know it wouldn't have happened if the photographer didn't happen to be my sweet and talented sister! Thank you!)
Right now I am a nervous wreck, wondering when the baby is going to make her debut. If I haven't had her sooner, I am going to be induced on December 28th. (Like a week and a half! Ahhhh!) However, I went to the Dr. today and I am already 75% effaced and 2 1/2 cm's dilated (sorry if TMI again!) I am really hoping that she will hold out until after Christmas, because that would make my life (and this Christmas) so much less complicated!
These last few weeks of pregnancy are such a roller coaster ride, 99% of me is ready to have the baby, to be done being pregnant, and to have my own body to myself again. But then there is this really, really, nagging 1% that reminds me: how difficult the first few weeks with a newborn are, how challenging the first few months of nursing are, and how frustrating it is to not get any sleep!!! But ready or not, here she comes!

Why Do I Do This To Myself?
The Problem: The baby needs furniture.
The Simple Answer: Buy the baby new furniture.
Stefanie's Answer: Buy new furniture for Terrill and I, give our furniture to Makaylee, hand Makaylee's furniture down to Rowen, and hand down Rowen's furniture to the new baby! I must really enjoy making things difficult! (Really I just love decorating, and redecorating!)
The good news: The new furniture is purchased, the old furniture is moved, and the new bedrooms are ALMOST assembled (with 3 weeks to spare before the baby arrives!) Get ready for Extreme Make Over: Bedroom edition, coming soon!
