Ryan and I are in a little bit of shock that we've gone from positive preggo tests (gross and weird that I took pics of them... I know)
to
bags packed for the hospital in, what feels like, such a short amount of time. I know that most 39 weeks preggo women, especially during August, are just ready to get the baby out, but I'm not feeling all that miserable.
I also think some nesting and getting the baby's room together is totally normal, but I think Ryan and I may have taken it a bit too far.In preparation for Baby Blythe we have,
-painted the room that is now the nursery
-painted the room that is now the grandparent suite
-replaced carpet in the front of our house
-added walls to Ryan's office that was open
-cleaned the entire house from top to bottom
-cleaned out every closet, the pantry, etc.
-put together furniture for the nursery and redecorated
I guess this doesn't all seem totally overwhelming, until I think about the fact that we started it all a few weeks into the third trimester. No wonder I just took a nap.
So, here is the photo proof of our last few weeks.
The new walls to the office, totally finished...

Putting together furniture in the nursery...
Relaxing in the glider to celebrate some paint swatches. Loooove this chair!
Walls painted, time for the crib...
Hanging the butterfly chandelier over the crib.
A break from some cleaning with a visit from my friend, Allison Lee (Bradley) and her new little one, Avery.
Last weekend the moms, after begging for a way to help us get ready, came to do a deep clean. This picture is not posed. They had a mini-planning meeting and made a "to do" list. Our house is so clean that even the hose that connects the dryer to the wall is lint-free. Love it.
And, I'll leave you with some pictures of the big nursery reveal... I know, so exciting for you all. 
So, I think other than that whole, "labor" thing, I can finally say that I'm ready for Blythe to get here. Okay, even with the labor, we are both thrilled to meet our baby girl! We're ready to take the next step in our married and family life. It's go time!
