What to do, what to do?

I'm 37 1/2 weeks along and I'm getting a little antsy waiting for Luke's arrival. I could still have a few more weeks to go, so I am trying to stay busy and not think about it. Since we are renting a condo right now, we are not able to paint/alter the room very much so Luke's lil room is pretty much done (minus his dresser that won't be delivered until next week!) boo! - - I've washed everything, the bags are packed, the house is cleaned, the closets organized, the pantry stocked, etc.....So yes, I'm excited and very ready to meet the little guy.

**It's important for me to point out that I'm one of those people who would open all of her Christmas presents early if I could, so feeling this impatient about Luke's arrival is not a surprise.**

Any ideas of things I should do to stay busy are welcome!!!!!!!!

Here is a glimpse of what the Hartmans have been doing while waiting for Luke's arrival:

Here is Luke just hanging out waiting for the right moment to enter this world.


Luke upclose. I think he's feeling a little claustrophobic at this point. Look at those precious cheeks!



Daddy worn out after helping mommy clean every room for the 20th time. :) He's such a sweet hubby. I bet he's dreaming about playing Madden on PlayStation.

Mommy measuring her "waist". At this point I have officially run out of things to do while waiting on Luke. ha! By the way, I measured 41 inches!!! And yes, this is the last time I will ever mention the size of my waist on the blog.

Luke's crib and lamb waiting patiently for him....

Some of Luke's winter outfits waiting on him too....we found a great sale at the Gap and the outfit on the left is from my sweeet friend April. The winters are very cold in Cleveland so these warm outfits are a must!

And finally, Luke's buddies that Nana made him wating on him to come home...Ollie, Gossie, and Elphie

Not Too Much Longer

An update...finally! Well, Danny is back from Louisville and I am so glad - he had the laptop with him, so that is why I haven't been able to blog! I had some wonderful visitors come and keep me company while he was gone so that was nice - - thank you Jessica, Mom, and Phyllis!!! We all had lots of fun getting everything ready for Luke's arrival. I am now 37 weeks and so far it's looking like we are on time for our due date of Nov 13. (of course you never know) We had a few weeks where we thought Luke was breech, but thankfully he decided to be a good little boy and turn the right way! (I think he is a procrastinator like his daddy)
At our last ultrasound we saw that he has a head full of hair and squishy cheeks - we still don't know who's nose he has. He is also a healthy weight...they predicted him to be over 8lbs at birth!!!!! We'll see if they are correct - - I'm trying to think positive and hope that they over estimated a bit. I will try and be better at updating everyone over the next few weeks. Please keep us in your prayers as we await Luke's arrival!! Happy Fall Everyone!!!!!


Me and Danny at 35 weeks
