Almost Go Time!

Hey there friends and loved ones! It’s been a while since I’ve posted and with good reason…I’ve been REALLY really REALLY busy.

I’m now almost at 38 weeks and just hoping and wishing that she’ll stay in there just one more week or so and then I will feel like I’ve gotten soooome kind of rest between getting the house situated and her being here. It’s been quite a circus at the Potuck homestead AND at the salon!  We just finally finished settling into our new home 20 min outside of Nashville. Yep, just a supposed couple weeks before Elsie arrives. We like to do things last minute I suppose…

But all is well. We are set to go. Just wanted to update everyone on my pregnancy journey and life in general. Pregnancy has been …a lot of mental work for me. I google so much stuff without having been pregnant. So, once I became pregnant the research for me has been never ever ending. I’ve enjoyed it, actually. Some things I wish I never found out, but mostly pretty interesting. I feel like such a pregnancy pro. I could maybe..probably deliver a baby at this point. I’ve had pretty much zero issues with this first baby girl (beside the typical preggo symptoms) I am hoping the labor and delivery will go just as smoothly!!! I hope I hope I hope!

Let’s just say this…to be able to work on my legs all day long up until the due date…what a miracle! Here is a photo of me this week at the salon doin’ my thang. See…I look SO happy to be working still! And I am!!!

So there’s that. From the front I don’t look ready to pop I suppose…but here I am almost 38 weeks from the side!

SEE!! I’m so ready guys!  I promise to post about baybay Elsie’s arrival and maybe if I’m lucky I’ll post again next week!

For those that are interested in what baby Elsie’s nursery is lookin’ like…well we’ve finally finished! It’s fresh and sweet. We went with a super anti-pink look. Darren and I aren’t the biggest fans of super duper girly vibes, so we felt like keepin’ it somewhat simple.

If anyone wants to know where we purchased anything, let us know!

Enjoy 🙂

Our baby registry! For you early birds who love to shop for baby stuff!

Darren and I are in the midst of planning the baby shower for lil’ Elsie bear! We will share all that news with everyone who’s interested in the near future. We have been asked by family near and far if we have our baby registry set up anywhere. Well, we do! We have had quite a time trying to figure out what a baby REALLY needs vs just typical wants and desires that translate into very little usage. We have been extremely blessed by folks that have already had all the children they can and have donated their gently used items. This has shrunk our list by a good amount. Thank goodness! However, every little thing that is on this list is most definitely needed. %100. We decided to plug all of our list into one website to shop from which is Myregistry.com

Here is the direct link to our Elsie’s registry:  http://www.myregistry.com/public/Tamara-Darren

Thanks so much in advance for anything big and small that y’all decide to gift!

With love and excitement,

Tamara & Darren!
