Here's Hoping

Tomorrow is officially my due date, and so far I have had absolutely NO signs of labor.  Zach and I have tried almost everything - walking, spicy food, sitting on a bouncy ball all evening - and NOTHING.  I've even cleaned the house hoping little Maggie will think I'm nesting and the house is ready for her.  Today we decided to get the third member of our family, Harlee, involved and play a little frisbee to see if that would get the party started.  When we let Harlee play with us, she tends to be a frisbee hog.

You wouldn't know it because she carries over 50lbs on legs that don't measure over a foot tall, but she is a quick little booger. 

Zach finally caught her, but by that time we were done playing and just let Harlee have her way.  She isn't spoiled at all...

It doesn't look like playing frisbee is going to put me into labor, but it was fun to make some memories before our little family adds another member. 

The Nursery - Before and After

Well, I am officially one week away from my due date and I think the nursery is almost done!  This room was formerly Zach's "Man Cave", so we had to clear it out and start from scratch. 

We found the furniture we loved as a floor sample at a local furniture store, which meant two things - we got a GREAT deal on it and we got to take it home that day.  Big time score. :)

I had an old nightstand that I thought would fit perfectly in the nursery, and I also wanted a bookcase to keep toys and books in for our little girl.  I knew I would never be able to match the exact color of the wood on the crib and dresser, so we decided on this turquoise blue color that would compliment our color scheme.  Zach was put to work with a sander on the old nightsand and a cheap bookcase we bought at Walmart.

The bookcase was still a little bland, so we added fabric to the back to make it a little more interesting.

Now that all the furnitue is in place - time to see the finished product!

The only thing we are missing now is our litle baby girl!
