Where are you Brooklyn?!?!

Well, my due date was 2 days ago and still no Brooklyn to hold in my arms! :( Brooklyn, you can come out now! We really want to hold and love you and cuddle with you! I just feel absolutely normal preggo. I don't feel like I've really had any contractions yet, so I really hope it starts soon! I think that I will be induced a week after my due date, so Thursday should be the latest day she comes I hope! Which is my Grandma Cupp's and my sister Rachel's birthdays so that would be fun! I'll keep you guys posted! :) Here are some baby bump pictures for you :/

33 weeks

37 weeks...it's grown a lot!!

40 weeks! Ready to pop!

And here is a sneak peak of the nursery. I was going to do a color scheme that is completely different, but I got all this free bedding from someone and it was really cute, so I couldn't pass it up. You can't pass up free! So I had to rethink everything, but I like the way it turned out. It's not completely done. I might have a few more things to add here and there, but this will give you a good idea of what it looks like


That dresser was an old, beat up dresser we got from Brian's parents, but with some sanding and a couple coats of spray paint, it looks like new!
Here is a close up of a few of the letters I made. I didn't want to spend a ton of money buying the big letters at a craft store, so I printed them off on my computer in a font I really liked and made them out of cardboard, poster board and hot glue. Then I covered them with different things like yarn, tissue paper, and scrapbook paper, etc. It was pretty time consuming but I LOVE them! It probably only cost me about $5 for all eight of them decorated and all. If I would have bought letters at Hobby Lobby, they are like $10 each for just the letter. Yikes!
Yay for Pinterest for giving me lots of good ideas! :)

1. You look AMAZING. Seriously.
2. I am hoping that sweet, little girl comes SOON! I SO can't wait to meet her.
3. LOVE the nursery. So cute. You did an awesome job.
4. You have no idea how happy I am that you posted about those letters. I have been looking for MONTHS for letters to do the kids' room but, like you said, they are so expensive I refuse to buy them. I am SO making those. So, I might be bugging you with questions. :)

I can't wait to hear the good news! Miss you guys!
