Her Room
(Yes, we know... it's a little late in the game to still be calling our baby her. She will have a name when she is born, we just haven't quite decided which it will be. It's really down to two choices. But, we promise, she will have a name... and soon.)
I mentioned a while ago that it was starting to look a lot like a baby actually lived here in our apartment as we got her furniture ready and assembled. But now that we've had our last shower, it undeniably looks like a baby is/will be here soon. Ian even said yesterday "Really looks like a baby room" as he referred to the drawers full of clothes, the corner full of diapers, the crazy looking mobile hanging from the crib and the multiple handmade-with-love blankets. The room is as ready as it's going to get. Yesterday, we finished the last "touches", which included making and putting up curtains and getting a 3-drawer rolling cart to hold all the diapering, bathing and health stuff for her. But what better way to really share with you our fun new room... than to show you with pictures!
p.s. BTW, I've been telling everyone that I think our baby will come sometime this week because of all the symptoms and uncomfortableness I've been having lately. Well, we went to see one of the midwives this morning (as part of our prenatal check-ups) and it looks like "she" is sitting really low. So much so, that the midwife couldn't even feel her head in examining my ever enlarging abdomen. But having said that, upon further examination (I'll spare you the details), even though she is very low situated in my pelvis... she is likely not coming this week. The midwife didn't say it, but it was implied. Our baby might actually be "on time" or even (as is typically for first time births) "late". Ian thinks this is all good because he's got a lot going on this week that he'd like to be able to do... and it's ok with me, but I would prefer if she came a teeny bit earlier than her expected due date or at least close. Coming two weeks after just doesn't sound too fun and/or comfortable. :)

That's a really beautiful car seat. :) And it DOES look like a real baby room? So what happened to all the stuff that used to be in there?
All the stuff (ie: desks mainly) ended up in the living room/dining area and our bedroom. The computer in the living room/dining area actually turned out pretty good, just it would make it hard if one of us wanted to watch a movie and the other was trying to work.. :) Maybe I'll post a picture of what the rest of apartment looks like... OR as Kristine has mentioned... I should post pictures as the baby starts to take over the WHOLE apartment.
Oh and the carseat was chosen with Ian in mind. (His favorite color is red) Not to mention, it's a carseat that can work for a boy and a girl, can hide dirt easily and Ian will more likely carry! :)
