36 weeks... getting there!

yes, i could have smiled... i'm sorry, the baby has all of my brain power and apparently, it was too hard to take a decent picture and look halfway decent at the same time. better luck next time.  

at this point, the doctor said he isn't going to stop me if i go into labor, so it's all very up in the air.  so much so that a repeat c-section is sounding more and more appealing all the time.  it's very odd, not knowing when.  and the fact that bryan works the craziest hours and it isn't exactly easy for him to leave (or not sleep after a night shift) makes a scheduled event seem like the way to go.  but i can't do it.  for six years, i taught women how to deliver a baby- i should be able to do this myself.  we shall see...

as i've been getting the nursery ready for this little guy, i've realized that i'm putting way more into it than i did with the boys.  i think there are a few reasons for it: pinterest wasn't a thing yet, i was into the "less is more" frame of mind since there would already be two babies around, and apparently i don't have enough to do now.  we've painted it a different color (i say we, i mean bryan + his wonderful mama), got a new crib (we gave one to my sister-in-law, who is due a week before me and liam's chewed his rails down like a beaver) and now i'm filling in with art and a few little extras.  three of those extras are prints from a swedish artist on etsy named maja lindberg.  i fell in love with the middle print, called reflection, awhile ago and thought these would be perfect for the nursery.  her whole shop is filled with sweet illustrations, mostly geared towards children's spaces.  love, love, LOVE.
