36 weeks (100th post!)...

that's right... it's my 100th blog post! so let's cover a few things here...


justin has JUST confirmed that our baby girl's name will be...

drumroll, please...

Jillian Nicolai German

...Nicolai is my maiden name, for the two of you that may not have known that. ;)


and then there's the 36 week picture. i figured it was time to start taking pics every 2 weeks now instead of every 4 weeks...



and, in case yall missed it on facebook, the update from my dr's appt this past monday...

cervix is soft, 1 cm dilated. baby's head is at -1 station. dr scheduled me for an ultrasound on monday before my next appt. i'll keep yall posted.


and THEN there's the baby's room. it's pretty well done, except for the wooden letters of her name that will eventually hang above the shelves you see...








i'm a sucker for "hand-made" so let me tell you...

that beautiful quilt hanging over the back of the crib was made by my talented high school friend, rachel!

and that super cute monkey sitting on the dresser, holding a light globe was made by my father! it's a touch lamp with a low-watt, 3-way bulb for those late night diaper changes!

34 weeks and more...

of course i'm posting at 35 weeks.

so here's glorious me at 34 weeks...


baby shower was on march 27th. it was better than i could've imagined. i was more excited about the people i got to see than the gifts received! though the gifts were rockin too! i don't have all the pictures yet, but here are a few to hold yall over...










all of the gifts are worth mentioning... and i likely do another post with gift pictures. but for now, here are pics of the baby's first sports fan gear!
