Baby has a bed!

40 weeks 1 day

The cradle mattress finally came for the baby. So exciting! Now Trouble won't have to sleep on the same craptastic vinyl covered polyurethane foam "mattress" that Jesse did. I got it from www.naturallygood.net . It wasn't exactly cheap, but I bet it'll be worth it. It's made of natural rubber, wool, and organic cotton. I've covered it with the crocheted wool mattress cover that I felted and lanolinized. I added a cotton receiving blanket on top of that to help absorb any leaks and covered it all with a king-sized pillow case (which fits a 18"x36" cradle mattress perfectly). Here's a pic of the mattress:

And here's the finished bed all made up....don't mind the stripes...the cotton receiving blanket is showing through the pillow case.

I think this should do for Baby T. I hope so anyways. At least until I'm comfortable having a wee babe in the bed with us again.

Also, I hit my due date this week! Of course, it came and went without an arrival. But that was to be expected, really. Jesse was 15 days "post-dates" so I figure this baby will behave similarly. I had my 40 week appointment on Wednesday night. I'm measuring 41 weeks and it seems baby has had a growth spurt. Jayme is now estimating baby to be right around 8 lbs. The heartrate was great and my blood pressure was fine. All is as it should be. I took a (possibly final?) belly pic yesterday. I'm finally at the point where I'm kind of uncomfortable, and hoping I don't get to be even more so before the baby comes. Considering I could be waiting another 2 weeks (or more??!!!) I probably will. Anyways, here's the pic:

I guess that's it for now. I may have another post coming tonight if I get my grubby little hands on the CD from our photo session. I have a few images already, but I want to get all of them before I choose what to post.
