We've made it to full-term - yay! As of today's date I am 39 weeks and 5 days - wow! And I think we're finally ready for this baby ... so he can come anytime now. Anytime. Are you listening, baby?
37 weeks - Mike likes to try out new stuff with his camera. I have quite the belly bump when viewed as a silhouette.

38 weeks - where are my feet?

So, here was our project for the baby's room ... turn this sad bookshelf into a cute baby-room bookshelf!

I decided to do a little mod-podge action (a new venture for me) ... I decoupaged some cute scrapbook paper onto a piece of thick cardboard for the backing of the bookshelf. Here's when I was done and let me tell you, I was pretty proud of myself.

And then ... I had this sinking feeling in my stomach that something just wasn't quite right. In this picture, I believe I am saying "I've made a huge mistake."

What you can't really see in that picture is that the cute pattern of the paper is sideways. Yep. I decoupaged all the paper onto the cardboard in the completely wrong orientation. It was a sad moment.
But, we managed to make some adjustments and saved all my hard work ... just don't look at the back of the bookshelf, it's not nearly as pretty as it was intended to be (thank goodness no one can see that part!).
Here I am, happy with our baby's bookshelf. All is well.

And here is our baby's room! The wall decals (applied very nicely by daddy - he's a talented man) are sooooo cute!
