Doctor's appointment at 37 weeks...

We had our 37 week appointment today and things continue to go very well. Baby Mueske has dropped further down and still on track for a mid-March delivery. Still not dilated and 50-60% effaced. I'm on day 6 of not feeling the best and fighting a bad cold. I'm hoping this goes away soon!

Neighborhood Shower

Our wonderful neighbors threw us a great baby shower. My mom and sister were able to make the trip up, as well as my Godmother Beth and her daughter Paiton. Many of our neighbors, good friends and family from the area were able to help us celebrate as well. Baby Mueske is ready to go with plenty of onesies, diapers, wipes, fun toys, etc. to get started.

Christine sure knows her celebrity children's names and blew everyone else away in the matching game!

Kate and Jess were wonderful hostesses, along with Kelly! Thank you three so much for the fabulous egg bake and brunch, fun games, and atmosphere!

Doctor visit at 36 weeks...

We had our 36 week appointment today and things continue to go very well. Baby Mueske is defnitely head down and on track for a mid-March delivery. I am not dialated at this time and 50% effaced. About 4 weeks out, we are enjoying adding to the nursery, getting things slowly together for the hospital stay, and finishing up our baby/parenting class.

Belly Photo Shoot...

We spent some time with Amy and Kathy from Capturing Moments to "capture some moments" of our pregnancy and growing baby! We had a great time and look forward to bringing Baby Mueske back for precious baby pictures in the months to come!

Could it be a St. Patty's Day baby?

Another piece to the puzzle...

Shea and Scott (helpful neighbor) spent some time Friday night hanging up a shelf in the nursery. After picking out the wood and stain together earlier in the week, Shea did the rest...with the help of Scott and his tools:)

The furniture has arrived...

We finally received our furniture after 6 LONG awaited weeks (it definitely seemed a lot longer)! The nursery is finally coming together! The walls are still bare, but Shea is working on making a shelf to hang above the dresser. Once we know our little one's name, we'll hang up wooden letters over the crib. We also enjoyed doing "baby laundry" as we folded up onesies, socks, burp clothes, and blankets to begin filling the dresser drawers.

I proved to myself today that anything is possible if I just put my mind to it! I have been looking for someone to cover our glider and ottoman for a couple months now and have had no luck! I knew I could probably do it, but still haven't diagnosed the problem on my sewing machine which still doesn't work! So anyway, after 6+ hours of cutting fabric, hand-sewing, and creating little hooks, the project is finished! Never doubt Mama Mueske:)
