Hey Everybody! Guess what! I'm beginning Week 38...that means just 2 more weeks until my due date. I know, I know...this means that Evangeline can come any time; her schedule, not mine. Well, that doesn't mean I can't PRAY and HOPE for my own schedule. And I so I am. If I could have it MY way, Evangeline will come early in the week next week; this gives me enough time to 1) finish my last work week before my maternity leave, and 2) give me a baby a week sooner so that I can enjoy her a week longer (since it's Spring Break for this teacher). Plus, my mom (who's also a teacher) can have that week to help out her daughter (and soon to be grand-daughter) without having to worry about work herself.
I'm so excited! I'm nervous...a little...and I'm anxious to see what she looks like. I hope she is healthy! I pray there are no complications with her or the birth.
I can tell you that she IS in position to come. I've experienced a few things that basically mean she can come any day now (although I won't go into the details).
I won't say that I'd love to be pregnant a lot longer, but I will say that my body has done a pretty good job of keeping up with my busy schedule and letting me get things done. I don't know if that is the "burst of energy" rumor that moms are "supposed" to get right before the baby comes, or if it's just me being determined to be as ready as possible. You're welcome to make your own prediction. I'm just glad that I'm getting closer and closer to feeling ready....although I still need a few more days to finalize it. (So work with me little girl!)
Anyway, I realized that I haven't yet posted pictures of Evangeline's entire Nursery...or Nook, actually. My husband and I have a wonderful 1-bedroom apartment, so we're sharing our room with Little One. It's actually nice, though. There is still enough room for us both...although we are feeling as though she is slowly taking over our house. I'm pretty certain that she has more clothes than I do!
Well, for those interested, here's a tour of her beloved nook. I'll be honest; I LOVE IT. I wish I hadn't waited until night time to take all the pictures, cuz the lighting is not as nice, but these will do. Enjoy!

| Her changing table/ dresser (craigslist find!) |
 |
| Adorable hair clip hanger...made by her Aunt Dotsy |
 |
| Top right shelf |
 |
| Bottom right shelf...wipes and cream |
 |
| Decorations. Btw, her "Wish Book" includes all these different wishes that were written by the ladies who came to her baby shower. Each page has a different themed wish. I love it! |
 |
| The glider I currently have on loan. |
 |
| Her books. =) |
 |
Her adorable crib. (Garage sale find!) Sanded down and painted by her daddy.
(Oh, and I know that I'll probably take the bumpers off...and she won't have her stuffed animals and blanket in the crib when she's sleeping for safety reasons, but I wanted to keep it there to look at for now.) |
 |
| Her mobile and her framed poem...made by her Nana. |
 |
| I just love this! My mom made the board, and the moon and stars are made with glow-in-the-dark paint, each decorated by the ladies who came to her shower. It's a great little night light above her crib. |
 |
| Diaper holder that matches her crib set |
 |
| Some of the display above her dresser |
 |
| Some more of the display. The sign on the left is from the song she is named after...made by her Aunt Nikki. |
 |
| The inside of her crib...for now. |
 |
| Her initials...recycled and renovated from frames from when I was a baby. |
