Final Countdown....Day 10!!!

I decided it would be really fun to document our final 10 days (or less) until Camryn arrives. She could arrive at any moment, but if not by June 9th, we'll be induced the morning of the 10th.

So how are we feeling with so little time left? Extremely anxious and impatient! Not knowing the exact time or day that she'll arrive is like winning a Mega-Million Lotto jackpot and being told your check is in the mail....the anticipation is killing us!!! Besides the waiting, I feel pretty good. I'm a little nauseous this week and moving around is impossible, but also quite comical, at least for Taylor. Hot flashes come and go throughout the day, but they only last about 30 seconds, so they're not much of a hassle at all. I was really lucky and my sweet friend Jessica treated me to a spa day on Saturday and I had a pregnancy massage that was FANTASTIC, so my aching muscles don't hurt this week, yay! I'm eating much smaller meals now that Camryn is taking up most of my stomach space, and I am still eating Tums like candy...at least they're packed full of Calcium for Camryn!
Taylor & I spent day 10 B.C. (before Camryn) being fairly lazy around the house. Taylor had to work (from home) but we were able to enjoy some yummy blueberry pancakes that I made for breakfast together. Then I cleaned the house and relaxed and watched a marathon of "Storage Wars".  We made an afternoon date out of getting Starbucks together, and then finished off our evening with our nightly 3 mile walk through our neighborhood. I took our new stroller with us on our walk for a test drive, and it's awesome! It's froggy season in our neighborhood, and we must have dodged at least 20 toads while walking. I don't want frog guts on my new set of wheels! :)

Here are today's belly pics as well as some nursery and baby gear pictures:

This is our co-sleeper bassinet, now all we need is a baby to put in it!

My belly cast, obviously going to good use as decoration in the breakfast nook.

Our new stroller




I stinkin' love this thing!!!

Changing station


This is a sweet gift from Taylor - a silver plated tray for me to put my rings on when I'm bathing and changing Camryn. It sits on her changing station and says "A mothers love is never ending" <3



That photo is me right after I was born

The "art" is an adorable gift from Taylor's parents. It was Taylors as a baby and used to have his name on it, but Lisa re-stitched it to say "Camryn" and they framed it for us. The teddy was also his as a baby.

We will fill the frames with Camryn's newborn photos that are being taken within the first 7 days of her life by Johanna McShan Photography (hannamac.com)

It's HUGE!
