These are the Peter Rabbit bumper pads I've been working on. I still actually have the last long side to finish, but I ran out of ribbon for the ties. And the side of the crib isn't back on yet, anyway. 
A lovely friend of mine who loves Beatrix Potter things as much as I do, gave me this cute frieze for the boys' room. :-) Nathanael loves it.
My friend, Melissa, gave me this Peter Rabbit print, which I put in a white, ornate frame I had on hand. I think it adds a nice touch to the entrance of the room. :-)Things are going pretty well in these last days/weeks of my pregnancy. Although I found out at 29 weeks along that I have gestational diabetes, I've been able to control my blood sugar levels very well with diet. So, other than not being able to eat some things I crave, it shouldn't be a problem for me or the baby.
I am now 36 weeks along, and since Nathanael was born at 36 1/2 weeks, I am prepared for going into labour anytime from now on. Haha I am finishing up a lot of last minute projects and chores around the house that I want done before the new arrival. I guess it must be "nesting"! Haha
I'm so thankful that we live in a lovely, bright house for this baby's arrival. When Nathanael was born we were renting a house (while looking for one to buy) that was old, dark and dusty. Ben calls it "The Bat Cave". Haha The darkness made me feel depressed after the birth, and I think contributed to Nathanael having a bad case of jaundice.
Sorry, I don't have an updated side shot of pregnant me. Hopefully I will be able to post one before the baby is born. :-)

Melody,
It's kind of like a border. You can see it the picture. :-)The packaging said it was a frieze. It didn't have paste or anything on the back like a border would.
