Well, the nursery is finally finished and waiting for this sweet, wiggly little girl to arrive. It feels so good to have everything done! Now it’s just a matter of waiting… she could be here any time!

A personalized pillow from Auntie Shea, another bird decal (I told you I'm obsessed), and a pink cross-stitched elephant. :)

The changing table, baskets full of SHOES and tiiiiny diapers, and the monogrammed thingamabob I made a few months ago.
We (and my aching ribs) are ready!
Being that I’ve been in a super crafty (and nesty!) mood lately, I figured it was about time to give my little vanity chair a makeover. I’ve never recovered anything, so I wasn’t quite sure how it was going to turn out…
Before:
After:
A little black spray paint and a major case of trigger finger later (staple guns are serious business, man), I have a much prettier place to sit and put on my makeup.
And umm, I just have to say how incredibly addicting that fabric is. I went back to the fabric store and bought another yard — okay, two yards – of it and covered some cork board (which you can see on the table in the picture), and have been trying to figure out something else to do with the rest because it is just SO DARN CUTE. That was the longest sentence ever. Anyway… Ideas? :)
So, scratch the big San Francisco shopping plans I had for tomorrow. After a very cocky attempt at taking a long walk the other night, I discovered that I am, in fact, a 5 ton BEAST and would likely pass out, give birth, and/or die if I tried to shop for 6 hours straight. So guess who gets to stay home in lovely Fresno and catch up on laundry this weekend? Moi!
In baby news, there isn’t much to report, other than CONTRACTIONNNNNNS. Sadly, I doubt they’re anything to get super excited over… just my trusty old uterus doin’ it’s thang to gear up for the big event. But still, progress! So, whoop whoop.
Oh, AND! 20 days left until my due date! Less than three weeks! AHH!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
- The election is over. We can all be friends, hold hands and skip through fields of daisies once again.
- Gingersnap Lattes from Starbucks. Heavenly. TRUST ME ON THIS. Why they don’t just call it the Gingerbread Latte like every other winter is beyond me, but they pretty much taste the same.
- Getting the okay from my doctor to spend this Saturday shopping at Union Square in San Francisco. Two fingers in my hoo-ha at yesterday’s appointment showed I’m not the least bit dilated, so all that walking can’t hurt, right?
- Blonde bobs. I knowwww, I’ve been there, done that… but Lordy, they’re sassy and adorable and I just might be wanting one again.

For the record, I really, really don't like Hayden Panettiere and searched for an unflattering picture of her with this hairstyle for a good 30 minutes... only to find that IT DOESN'T EXIST. I think I dislike her even more now.
- Christmas decorating. I’m not going to lie, I’m taking a day off next week to put the finishing touches on the nursery, clean house, and put up my Christmas tree. A little early? Probably. Any shame over here? Nope.
- Personalized baby goodies from Shea.
- A bouquet of roses and a sweet note from Justin. There’s just nothing better.
Wow, I actually didn’t put anything edible on this list. If you follow me on Twitter, you know that is so unlike me. Wait, do lattes count? Nah.
What would you put on your love list right now?
