In the interest of positive thinking (Baby's due date is tomorrow!), here are the choices for going-home outfits:
The bib says, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls."
This bib says, "Mommy Loves Me."
I really liked these outfits because they are onesies with feet and they include a hat and a bib. And they were only $8 each, but I had a coupon, so they were even less :). I'm not thrilled about the boy's outfit...I had picked one with light blue and light gray stripes and the bib said, "Thank Heaven for Little Boys" and brought it home and everything. But even though the hanger said 0-3 months and the tag on the arm said 0-3, the tag on the inside of the outfit said 3-6 months and when you held it up to the girl outfit, it was obvious it was a 3-6 month outfit. So I looked and looked for the right size, but to no avail. It may be a moot point, really, but I liked that outfit better than the little bear outfit. That's not to say that the bear outfit isn't adorable, it's just busy and I don't prefer busy outfits. Oh well, if the baby is a boy, he will look cute in anything and nothing, so I'm not at all concerned...it's just one of those retail shopping "it figures" situtaions.
In other Baby news, the nursery is just about complete. Mom is making some bear decorations for the wall and I'm getting this photo collage frame that matches the wood in the room. I wanted a big portion of the decorations to be family pictures instead of random clutter, so once I get that I can pick out what pictures I want to go in there. We got the rocking chair and it's all set up, we got a light green shag rug yesterday and set it up, and we got a little table for the bear lamp I have that will double as a night light. Everything looks so nice and it's exactly how I pictured it would be.
And yesterday I set up the diaper changing stations at my parents' house: one upstairs in Mom's room and one downstairs in the sun room. I took out all the 0-3 onesies and outfits and have them at the ready. I even set up the little Boppy swing (thanks to D's mom!!) which I'll have him/her sleep in during naptime, if s/he is agreeable to that. It looks about the size of the car seat, and I put it right next to the car seat when I was done with it, so everyone was asking which one was the swing! I'll have a take a picture of it... So now, we are REALLY ready for this baby.
Except for the fact that I don't think Baby knows we're so ready for his appearance. He's just moving around like he had nowhere to go and has all the time in the world. I'll wake up in the middle of the night and I'll feel his little hands doing whatever they're doing in my lower belly. I guess he has his own time frame and doesn't really care that he's supposed to be here tomorrow. Mom and Dad are coming to the ultrasound today, so I'm excited to see him and for them to see him and for the results of the whole procedure. It would have been nice if D could have made it, too, but I was squeezed in last minute, so I was thankful to get any appointment at all this week. Well, that's the latest on Baby. Hopefully I'll have some more exciting news in the very near future!

I love that second outfit for baby, but both are great. No one's gonna be looking at the outfit anyway. We just wanna see that sweet little face!
We heard about your ultrasound, and we're praying for you to do into labor soon and also that Baby won't get much bigger. Love you!
