Fully Baked But Not Ready to Come Out of the Oven

Due date come, and due date almost gone. It sort of feels like someone skipping their birthday.

Our baby is fully baked as the pregnancy ticker states today at exactly 40 weeks, however, she is so comfy in mommy's tummy so is not ready to come out. We want to meet Emily more than anything else right now. Hubby says when she is ready, she will come. Mommy agrees, but is just saying that because it is the right thing to say. MeeMee who is visiting for Emily grand debut is just hoping it is sometime soon so she will be here to meet her granddaughter.
My third cousin's baby was due yesterday, and a friend of mine's baby is due today like Emily, but all three of us have no baby news to report. We've all gone on long walks and been more active than usual from how it sounds. My friend may have already drank castor oil...YUCK!! I'm hesitant to try any of the wives' tales or myths other than walking because I want Emily to come when she feels ready. She is moving an immense amount right now and all this evening. I've shed a lot of cervical lining, had a few contractions, and am dilated 2-3cm as of yesterday morning. I believe she will be coming in the next couple of days. Can't wait to meet you little girl!!! Come soon if you can. =)

Fluff, Plush, and Cuteness Galor!

I don't want to ruin the surprise, but I've given myself a new project to work on these past couple of days. It's to find wardrobe and props for Emily's newborn photo shoot. An acquaintance of mine is a photographer and going to take the pictures. She has props, but I've been thinking about all the small details like what fabrics and backgrounds should go with each wardrobe change.

Here's just a little taste of what's to come...colorful tulle (jelly bean to be precise), flowers, ribbon, cozy fur, handmade cocoon by Emily's MeeMee, and a touch of winter. It still is winter even though it feels like spring and summer.

Hoping all the pictures turn out of so sweet and one's hubby and I will treasure forever. How could we not with them being of our little angel who we are just DYING to meet for the first time?!?!
