5 more days until the estimated arrival of our son Baby Augustine

Very excited, nervous and all of thee above! I am scheduled to be induced on Wednesday January 18. Dana wanted him to come on his birthday which is Jan 13 but i tried to tell him the baby has no track of time lol. So unless he comes sooner this will be his arrival date, although being induced it could take until the 19th so his official birthday could be Jan 18 or Jan 19. I'm huge, i can barely walk and i am VERY ready for him to arrive :) Although i must admit i am scared of the unknown part of it all, delivery and stuff. The pain. Etc. Everyone's stories are so different and every womens body handles things in a different way so really there is no way to know exactly what i'm heading into except i know the end result will be worth everything that it takes to get there. These 9 months have gone by pretty fast, this last week has felt like slow motion. Oddly enough. Dana plans to come with me to the hospital as well as my sister the morning of the induction, My mom is going to come around noon time since i have to be there so early (5:15 am wed morning) I haven't been able to sleep the past week because of anticipation and not being able to get comfortable in bed. Everyone tells me sleep will be rare to come by soon enough so i should try while i can , in effort of trying to sleep i think that actually keeps you more awake! Going to actually not try and hopefully that works to get as much sleep as possible the next few days so i can be well rested for whats ahead.
Next post will be after he is born :)

Where he will be sleeping in my room for the first month  the stuff in it is what im taking to the hospital for him

His washclothes, bibs , etc. in buckets i attached to the wall

it's almost time!

So excited to have him around already ;) i can't wait to hold him and love him.

Only 7 or 8 more weeks to go!

Kind of wish he could be here for Xmas but that would mean he's early so  it's better he wait  for next xmas to be his first;)

Sock monkey i got for him but i have been sleeping with it for comfort under my stomach

this will be the quilt & hat i'm bringing to take him home from hospital - i don't want to post his coming home outfit because i want that to be a surprise ;)

29 weeks

most recent page of the scrapbook I'm working on

Auggie's middel name. Meaning:Orion, often referred to as The Hunter, is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world.

Our precious little one @ 29 weeks 4d. 

Anticipating the arrival of our little one, My actual due date is Jan 25th , but the doctor said give or take a week or two. I feel HUGE lately. Literally like a walking ms.potato head but i know in the end it's worth it, i want him to be healthy and have all his baby fat . Basically have everything ready for when he's born, minus a few little things here and there. We got a little co-sleeper so the first month he can sleep with us , hopefully he sleeps like a little angel, Although my mom tells me i surely didn't when i was born but one can hope :)
Until next week....

3rd trimester!

He's kicking and growing :)

Looking like a walking egg!

Painted my baby bump for Halloween

Some additions to his nursery

Fun things for the baby

Mom bought this for him today, its actually really neat.

Sleep Sheep- has the sound of the heartbeat-womb and rain

Sock Monkey collection for Auggie

Nursery on a budget

Got this Changing table @ a garage sale, all the bins (except for the center sheep cloth basket) are from the dollar tree and i painted letters i got from the craft store glued some ribbon to them for a nice touch! Also got some metal buckets and screwed them to the wall with a bracket  ( you can see the silver one in the corner) figured they looked cute and could be useful for storing small things.

I also got these paper lanterns @ the craft store and hung them from hooks with fishing line for a balloon cluster look in the corner of his room above where his crib will be once we put it together.

Got this wall shelf @ the thrift store for a couple dollars and put an arrangement of things my mother saved from when i was a baby so it gives his room a touch of vintage :)

The room is not done yet, but close!  Will post more pictures once everything is put together and looking finished. Now time for me to Nest some more..
