So we hear that toward the end of pregnancy that the nesting instinct kicks in. Well it is in overdrive for Daddy, but not Mommy! I think that I did my nesting about a month and a half ago before we had company in town and the baby shower at our house. But Chris is in full nesting mode now. It is pretty cute, if I do say so myself.
He has been making dinner quite a bit as I am beat by the time I get home from work. And he does dishes too! He is a morning person and gets up before me so I have been waking up to breakfast every morning-and I am not talking cereal-it was deluxe omlettes the other morning! I came home to coffee cake from scratch the other day and he made chocolate swirl brownies for me to take to a friends house. I am SPOILED by my hubby!
Our little girl has no idea how ready her Daddy is to bring her home. He has been making sure that her room is ready for her, has been washing her clothes, cleaning and detailing the cars, you name it!
We were so excited to get to spend a week with Great Grandpa and Grandma on Chris's side of the family. They LOVED their time with Karsten and made it clear that when they were around the baby was with them! I guess seniority rules. It was so very special to see them with Karsten and to get pictures of them together. What a blessing those pictures will be when she grows up and learns who they are and how much they love her. Great Grandpa even snuck a few zzzzs while Karsten was snoozing :-)
Today was Karsten's special day! She was baptized this morning in front of MANY family and friends. We had family fly into town from all over the US and spend a week with us. We were so blessed to be surrounded by such loving support. A special thanks to Karsten's Godparents, Blake and Lizz as they made the trek all the way from Delaware for the special occasion.
Whoa big Momma! We have hit the 39 week point and I feel it! We are ready to go and it is just the waiting game from here on out. I am still walking and trying to get things MOVING...let's see if she cooperates. 
We have been working to get the nursery all put together before we bring little one home. Many of you have asked for updates so here is a picture. We are currently working on the main wall in her room and a place to her name. So once we reveal her name we'll update more nursery pictures.
We are hanging in there...or should we say OUT there! Still feeling good for the most part, but very tired after work these days. I usually come home from work, eat dinner, take a bath and crash. I am still trying to work these last few weeks so I can take more time off after the baby arrives.
