For fun, here's a picture of me at 8 weeks and then at 39 weeks. No one said he was going to be a small baby!

It's the Final Countdown!
I'm officially 39 weeks, and one week from today is Baby Fluty's due date. But, the question remains...when will he actually make his appearance? David and I jump back and forth from "we're ready for him to be here" to "let's enjoy our last few days (or weeks?!) as a couple." Either way, whenever he decides to make his appearance, we're ready!

Baby Fluty's new digs
The nursery is (almost) complete! I'm so excited with the way it turned out, and can't wait for Baby Fluty to get here to introduce him to his new room. Yes, I know he won't care about his room for a while (if ever), but being a "girl", I had to make sure it was perfect for him!
I put up a "sneak peek" of the nursery before it was complete - you can view the blog entry here. Now, to unveil the (slightly) finished product:
Just a few of my favorite things:
1. The color palette. I love these colors, and the best part is, no one else will have them! My mom and I found them at Hancock Fabric, and my mom made everything!! A big shout out to her - it looks amazing.
2. The ABCs of Transportation print. I found it on etsy.com and I love it.
3. Incorporating David and I into the nursery. A lot of the decorations are from our childhood or represent us in some way. On the bookcases, we've got David's 7 month handprint, his picture from when he was a "donut spokesbaby" (can we say foreshadowing?!? Donuts are my life!), childhood rattles and books, and his ExpressJet hat. We also put my "little sluggers" hat on there, as well as my orange teddy bears. The propeller was David's grandfather's, and it fits perfectly with the transportation theme. In the crib are childhood stuffed animals from both of us.
4. The glider! And, everything that goes with the glider. But, mainly the glider. It's about the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. Which is good considering we're going to be using it a lot! Also, note the baby blanket made especially for Baby Fluty by one of my co-workers. :)
5. His library. My friend Amy had the greatest idea - instead of a card at my shower, she asked everyone to bring a book for him. It filled up his shelves in no time! Can't wait to start reading to him.
6. His Bathroom. Okay, technically, it's not a part of the nursery, but it's cute anyway, so I wanted to share!
What's still missing:
1. Take a look at the picture of the glider. No, I did not frame a picture of a bouquet of flowers for his nursery. It's going to his birth announcement, which I also found on etsy. Here's the link (and no, it's not a hint for his name...gotta keep you guessing!).
2. His name above the crib. This is about the hardest thing to keep under wraps. I bought the letters for his name a while ago and have decided to paint them blue, to match the blue in the room. I usually bounce ideas and thoughts off of my mom, but I couldn't with this because she doesn't know the name. I think she'll be pretty excited to see how I did on my own (although she would have loved a sneak peek of his name!).
3. BABY FLUTY! We're expecting his arrival any day now, and we can't wait to bring him home!

My 1st Pinterest Recipe!
I've recently become addicted to Pinterest. And because I'm 39 weeks pregnant and all I want to do is eat, I've been "pinning" a lot of recipes. I couldn't wait to try a recipe for crescent cinnamon rolls:
I had a coupon at Costco for crescent rolls (and everyone knows how I love to buy in bulk - we now have 5 cans of crescent rolls residing in our fridge), so I figured this was the perfect time to try it. They turned out so yummy and were so simple to make. Here's my pictures (please note, they aren't as pretty as the pic from Pinterest, but still just as yummy I'm sure):
