36 weeks

So what do you do at 36 weeks? Get super, super impatient. I can't say that I'm totally shocked he's still cooking, but really, I'm pretty impressed. Our little kiddo is nestled nice and snug and doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast, but in the meantime, Mike and I are finishing up preparing the house, cleaning, and enjoying the holidays. There isn't much new going on around here, other than some serious shoveling due to all this beautiful snow! If there's one thing I'm super happy about, it's that we'll be having a White Christmas this year- no doubt about it! Now if only it wouldn't be so darn cold. But I guess you can't have everything, right?

Something I can honestly say I won't miss once I'm no longer pregnant: rolling over in bed. No one tells you that when you turn over, get up, sit down, stand up, every movement is like defying gravity *cue Wicked.* I can't even remember the last time I didn't grunt, groan, or make a sound comparable to a 3-legged moose stuck in a bog while trying to get out of bed. This whole "cute little bump"thing is definitely not what it used to be, I'll say that much.

But in other news- nursery is very, very close to being done! I'll probably still be tweaking it long after Baby arrives, but in the meantime, here are photos of our little one's soon to be room!

The view when you walk in- it's a mix of forest and Winnie the Pooh themed :) And his little treehouse (which I realize now I didn't take a full-on photo of) in the right-hand corner with the little lantern.


 A shot of his little crib! Mike hasn't made his nightstand yet, but he'll have a little red side-table and tree-stump. Which I'm super excited for :) Yes, we decided on the name Jack for our little man! Jackson Robert, to be exact (Robert after Mike's dad).

And a beanstalk (because every Jack needs one of these) to keep track of his height as he grows! I painted this on the back of his closet door- which is chalkboard paint on the other side for some fun once he's older.
