Pictures! The Baby is Almost Here

Well, I actually have a night were I am not working until the wee hours of the morning, so I decided that I would do a bunch of photo entries to catch everyone up on our past few months.


It's hard to believe that Rhian is actually considered full term today.  She is 37 weeks today, and officially reached the stage where it is safe for the baby to escape and it not considered early.  We (read as Rhian) have been in the nesting stage for the past month, picking up pretty much all we need for the first little bit with baby.  We spent the weekend getting the last things we need for the baby hospital bag - a newborn size onesie (we have a cute onesie already pick out, but if the baby is 7 pounds or less it might not fit), some socks and mittens for the ride home, and some baby toiletries for it first bath time!  The baby's hospital bag is packed, and we just need to pack one for Rhian and I.


Next on the to do list is to install the car seat; I think both of us have been procrastinating doing this because it is making things feel really real.  Rhian's due date is 21 days away, it feels so close now...


Anyway, as most of you haven't seen Rhian for a while, here are some pictures from the past few months:

Rhian at 30 weeks, just days before our nursery became a storage area for all of the things we are donating, or hopefully offloading on her cousin Kim if she ends up renting an unfurnished place.

Here is Rhian at 35 weeks, that belly sure is growing!! 


And here is Rhian in her birthday present from me and Mum and Dad (and her new favourite place to sit):

And finally, here is Rhian from earlier this evening, with her cousin Kim.  Kim stayed with us at the end of May before she heading up to Northern BC for field school, and is back with us for a couple weeks between the end of field school and the start of Grad School:

Hope all is well with everyone.  Hopefully we will be introducing you to Baby Balo soon!
