Waiting for Baby

On Saturday I hit week 37 of pregnancy, so I am officially full term! While my due date of August 24th is still a few weeks away and I haven't felt any signs of labor I feel like this little girl could arrive any day now. Yesterday I spent some time getting the nursery organized including washing lots of adorable baby clothes. Hard to believe there will be a little person wearing these soon!

I just bought the cutest baby book called "How to Be a Cat," written and illustrated by Northwest artist Nikki McClure. Portland peeps can shop local and pick up a copy at Lark Press.
