Homestretch

Zach deserves a medal for husband of the year for all of the painting he has done over the last few weeks, and I'm happy to report that we are totally done. The nursery is starting to actually look like a nursery. We are still waiting on the  glider to arrive and we are also having a wonderful old chest of drawers from Zach's family refinished for our baby girl. All of her clothes have been washed and are waiting to be put away once the dresser arrives. It was so much fun to wash and fold all of those tiny little clothes. I can't believe that in a little more than six weeks we will have a new member of the Baumer family small enough to FIT into them!

Zach in action! Yep, that's the nursery. 
The nursery in progress.


Zach and I got to see Zoe last week at the 32 week sonogram. At one point, she turned her little face toward us and gave us a BIG yawn. It was pretty amazing. As of last Thursday, they guessed her weight to be around 4 lbs., 12 oz., which puts here anywhere from 7.5 to 8 pounds at birth. Unfortunately, she is not in the "right" position just yet. She's still butt down, but the doctor said not to worry too much--she has about four weeks to turn on her own. It feels like she's doing somersaults in there, so I'm pretty sure she's got enough room to flip over.

Here's the latest on the baby bump...

33 weeks and 2 days!


And as promised, here are a few more pictures from the shower. If you want to see all of Emily's pictures, here's a link to her picasa album.

The lovely hostesses.

Me and the Natchez ladies.

The baby bump again (and my friend Emily
and if you look closely at the bottom
right corner, it's Jill's baby bump. She was
due last Sunday. Come on, Beck, we're
ready for you!)

  1. Jan,

    The baby bump is amazing--I so wish that I could see you pregnant! You two look phenomenal. FYI, Zach was 8.9 oz and Lauren 8.10 oz, but they were both overdue.

    The painting job is beautiful--I think Zach would probably relate better to a HOTY trophy! I was so happy to hear that you were refinishing Grandma Angie's chest of drawers. It was a wedding present to my parents from my Grandma (Helen Sobieski) back in the early 40s! It was then passed down to me and then Zach. I hope it turns out just perfect for Zoe. By the way, are you going to go by Mama Zan? Zach, Zan, and Zoe--and Zosmos! zzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Anxious awaiting Grandma Margaret of Indy.
