Time for an update

I went to the Dr this week, definitely making progress but hope to make some here more quickly! Work is getting rough. And today I actually had to stay home because I wasn't feeling well, haven't been able to eat a lot-besides soup/crackers/gatorade etc. Bummer. Anywayyyyy...Onto some updates!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

A couple weeks ago my sister Amy and niece Court painted my fingers and toes out of much desperation from me (I wanted this done before hospital :)) And after, seeing as it was Easter, Amy got this fantastic, crazy idea to paint baby Pace belly as an Easter egg. He he. Im usually a little more modest but, how many times do you get this opportunity? Im always surprised when I see before and after pics! Feeling pretty huge over here...

Nursery Update!

Here are some pics of the updated nursery...

Josh and I inherited a rocker chair (pictured above) from his aunt and uncle Chris and Anne, which we are SO grateful for. They are SO expensive! I had the idea to remodel the chair for the baby's room. After some help from friends we were able to redo it! I've always wanted to do a project for my babe and this was perfect. Here are some before and after pics...

Glider!

The old material was less than appealing...I forgot to take one with the actual cushions on. 

My friend Katie and I used De-glosser from Home Depot to rub off the gloss. (I will detail this in a future post). We then let it set for a few minutes and started painting a white coat. We did the first 2 coats (I wore a mask so I could help), and then let it dry. Josh finished it up a few days later, including painting another 1-2 coats and sanding the rough spots, followed by spray gloss.

My other friend Barbara re-did the seat cushions! (More details on this later as well). I bought the fabric and she sewed everything with her amazing sewing skills, which I do not have.  I also saw a cute idea online to add ties to the cushion versus the buttons that button to the back of the chair. 

Love the ties!

To say I LOVE this chair is an understatement! It turned out Exactly as I wanted it to and Im so excited to put it to use. SO thankful for good friends!! Barb also made me a carseat cover as well, which is ADORABLE, and threw me a baby shower ~ Baby P loves you Barb!

For the most part, the nursery is complete besides a few minor things. Love getting ready for a baby!

This is baby's room/spot her first few weeks in our bedroom. We got this awesome bassinet from my mother in law- I love hand-me-downs. So cute.

I also wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone that helped with and attended my baby showers! I've had so much fun seeing everyone and more fun celebrating our baby girl to come. My sisters threw me a family shower, of which is the only one I have pics of so far....sorry folks! Hope to get more...Thanks so much for your love and support! 

I love my G-mas...!

Best Mom Ever...

Lastly, here's a pic of me at 38 1/2 weeks. Yes, Im getting swollen, and uncomfortable. Im on my feet all day, so I have an excuse somewhat :)

Positive baby vibes appreciated! Last days as a single couple! 

Can't wait to meet our little girl :)
