36 Weeks: Honeydew Baby

Happy thirty-six weeks!  Thirty-six week fetuses usually weigh in at about six pounds.  They start to shed their downy lanugo layer of hair along with the creamy vernix caseosa that has been covering their skin.  These substances mix in with the amniotic fluid, which the little one then swallows and uses to form meconium.  LB's head is down in preparation for labor and according to Alex, her bump has definitely dropped this week. 
    
We spent this weekend organizing things for Harper's arrival.  We installed the car seat and car accessories after watching an instructional video or two :)  We worked on the nursery which is almost finished pending a few last minute deliveries.  We also started packing our hospital bags.

 Happy Memorial Day!
      
We are super excited about how the wall above the crib turned out.  We will have to take pictures and have them printed as soon as Harper is born so we can fill the picture frames with her cuteness!
  
 We are still waiting for the curtain rods to be delivered before we can hang the curtains.  We are really happy with how nice the mirror looks above the dresser.  Once the final pieces arrive for the nursery, we will post pictures of the finished product.
   
Our hospital bags are mostly packed!  We have snacks, shower shoes, little toiletries from Target, nursing pajamas, slippers, and all the essentials.  My diaper bag is also ready to go with several potential outfits for Harper to leave the hospital in.
  
 The car seat fits nicely in the Edge!  There is a vehicle seat protector under the car seat and a retractable window shade on the door.  The mirror is all set too!
 
   
 We made a car diaper station with our cute little Chevron Changing Pad from Aunt Sarah and Kaylyn, baby wipes, Desitin cream, and changing liners.  We just need to throw in a few diapers.  
    
We are a few steps closer to being ready!  Next weekend, we plan to make a bunch of freezer meals so that we don't have to worry about cooking when we bring the little girl home :)
