It's Officially...

the longest I have ever been pregnant! 
(By about 8 hours!)
Ha. 
This is me at 36 + 6 with Hunter.
I told myself I wasn't going to "expect" baby sister to come as early as her brother did, and really hoped she didn't to avoid NICU time or any premature complications.
I told myself she would come on her due date, February 14th, but now Hunter's arrival date (36 weeks + 6 days) has come and I am sitting on the edge of my seat! 
I have everything ready to go, finished all my projects I had started and am physically SO ready to have her out. 
Now What?
Lol. 
I CANNOT imagine being pregnant for 40 whole weeks. 
Yikes. 
Please come soon sister.
Tomorrow is full term and if you are healthy and cooked well enough we are READY!


What are some things you suggest to kill time so I'm not watching the calendar?

PS. Here are a few more SEWING projects I have done in the last DAY to keep me busy.
(I am IN LOVE with knowing how to use my sewing machine and trying out new projects. They are not perfect by ANY MEANS but it's so fun to GO FOR IT and see what I can do.)
Maybe I should start a business!!??

Posts with details/HOW TO's for each project coming at a later date.
Staying up WAY too late to sew.

Nesting.

Tomorrow marks the day (36 weeks +5 days) that I went into labor with Hunter.
So, naturally for the last week I have been in full NESTING mode. 
It started with a deep clean of my house.
Base boards, blinds, light fixtures... the works.
Then I had a girls night with my beautiful friend Whitney and we (mostly her) made this adorable car seat cover and canopy.





The next day I made a curtain for Hunter's big boy room with the fabric I never used from his nursery!
(Excited that I finished my first "unfinished truth's" projects)

Yesterday Kevin and I did a little shopping and got some curtains for the living room, new sheets and a new duvet cover for our bed. 


Today I finished the gold polka dot wall in sisters room and made a slip cover for the rocking chair.




It has been so much fun getting everything ready and looking good for sisters arrival.
Dr. did tell me today to take it easy so I don't put myself in labor, and I think I am finally feeling like I can take a breather, put my feet up and wait for her to get here! 

What things did you do when you were nesting?
Cleaning? Crafting? 
Incase she doesn't show up until her due date I could use a few more ideas to keep me occupied.
