Baby Countdown

Time is such a funny thing. At the beginning of this pregnancy, a month seemed to take forever. Here we are with only a month to go and time seems to be flying! I knew the end would be fairly quick, due to the focus being on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now I see that to be true. People ask if I am ready for the baby and I really have to laugh. I am so much more laid back this time around. With Peachy we got the entire nursery ready.

 (You can read about it here and here.) While we were awaiting Cream's arrival, we changed it to a nursery/big girl room. (You can read about that here.)

And for the third, you ask? So far the extent of our planning is hauling the baby items to the front of our storage area and purchasing a bunk bed for the girls' room. At this point, Shortcake will be living in our closet indefinitely. (We always start out with the newborns in our closet. The other two bedrooms are on a different floor and we have found that keeping the new baby close by helps us to spend more time sleeping and less time tripping down the stairs. You can read about Peachy's stay in our closet here.)

I have also purchased a few items for bringing baby home. This sweet, sweet hat from sweetbabydolly on Etsy.

This darling knit jumpsuit from Target:

And I am hoping to make these shoes from a pattern I purchased from twirlybirdpatterns on Etsy.

I think that we have also found a boy name and a girl name that we agree on. So, good to know that this child won't be coming home naked or nameless.
