I know, I know--when you've been looking like a beached whale for the last four months, it's hard not to snap a little. And those folks mean well, I understand that. I'm just over it. Not exactly ready to have this kiddo, but definitely tired of being pregnant. Three weeks to go!
The weather's turned cold over the last week, and this morning we actually turned the heat on. I held out as long as I could, but when the thermostat shows the inside temperature to be in the 50s, I think that's hard-core enough.
My mom got me a killer rocking chair from Ikea--it's the Lillberg. It's a great chair for curling up in--very deep. It's hard to see that in this picture.
I'm making up some pillows this week for it with these Amy Butler fabrics. I'll have to post pics when it's all done. The chair's sitting opposite our large pink painting, so I wanted fabric that would pick up the pink as well as the green walls and curtains.

We're having a baby in April and I want that chair too! Do you know how much it costs to ship to KC? It's such a modern and cozy design for a rocking chair.
I know the feeling. trust me. I am SO SICK of being pregnant!
9 more days to go. ugh
The chair and fabric look great btw!
oh, wonderful chair and fabrics! I was a week late (baby born on Christmas Day!) and the first grandbaby on all sides. I took leave early (I was quitting anyway) and there was sooo much anticipation built up. I didn't want to talk to anyone. All I ever heard was "So, I guess no baby news?...You'll call us, right?...Well, just keep us in the loop...Be sure to call us..." AAARRGHH! My sister was almost 2 weeks late and my biggest advice to her was to just enjoy the time with her husband as much as she could because it was never going to be just the two of them ever again. You already have one child, and I'm sure I don't have to tell you to just enjoy your little family in it's last days before your new addition. I had a hard time because I really didn't want to be induced. I was practically miserable leading up to the birth. I did my best to distract myself, especially on Christmas Eve. Who wants to be mopey on Christmas Eve?! I look back at that time with such sentimentality. It was such a sweet little moment in our lives.
Are you still feeling good, or has it gotten pretty uncomfy by now? Oh, I'm so excited for you! I'll be watching for updates (not just about the baby, about you too!)
Hey Suzy! Congrats! I think the chair was around $60 to ship from the Ikea website--steep, but not as steep as driving to the closest Ikea to pick one up!
Rachel! I can't believe you're so close--and I can't wait to see pics and stuff. Soon, girl!
And thank you Selah! Things are going well--getting a little uncomfy, but not too bad. My biggest complaint is that I'm forever dropping things and picking them up is the BIGGEST pain in the ass! I think I remember mobility...
Your little girl was born on Christmas? Wow--that's wild! It won't be hard to remember her birthday! Thankfully my daughter was born the day before her due date, so I didn't have to worry about inducing. Hopefully this time around will be similar. BTW, LOVE your bride of Frankenstein costume idea--that is gonna be killer when it's done!!
That looks like a pretty sweet rocking chair, I might have to get one! Good fabric choices!
It's almost baby time!!!!
