Nursery Reveal

So finally the nursery is ready which is good because baby is due in 3 days. Well the nursery was finished a little while ago except Matt had to fix one part on the chair in the room. So here it is:

This is what you see from the door way

                       Here is the crib and our rocking chair (the chair and ottoman we got for free!)

 The dresser (the teddy bear lamp used to be mine when I was younger, my mom painted it to match the colors in the nursery), and the change table.

 It took me so long to find baskets that fit in these openings. I wanted something that was deep enough and tall enough so it could actually hold things. And these are perfect!
 Baby's closet (we don't have closet doors yet and probably wont until I go back to work, or win the lottery which ever happens first) and behind the door just have a little extra organizing spot.

                                                                    Baby's bedding set
                                                                   Picture and deciles.
This is a cover that my mom sewed to cover the chair that way if anything spills or is spit up its easier to clean a cover then a suede chair.

 This is our bassinet, its in our room right now against the closet (it wont be against the closet once baby comes but just for now it is squished there) this is actually what my mom used for both my brother and I.
                                                     Here it is again just from one of the sides.

Bumpdate

How far along?  39weeks

How big is baby? The baby is about 20.5 inches long from head to toe and weighs nearly 7.5 pounds.

Gender? GIRL!!

Total Weight Gain? I am up1 pound from last week so 38 pounds all together

Maternity Clothes? Yes to both tops and bottoms, just want to be comfy.

Symptoms? In the morning/ evening wake ups my tail bone really hurts but then it goes away. My belly feels really heavy all the time and my left hand is tingly for awhile after I wake up in the morning.

Food Cravings? I have been enjoying sweeter things this last little bit.

Food Aversions? There is nothing that has been unappealing.

What I miss? Being able to get up easily. Getting off the couch or out of bed isn't as easy anymore.

Sleep? Most nights I do get up to go to the bathroom 1 to 2 times, its fantastic when its only one time.

Movement?  Yes still a good amount of movements but I'm pretty sure its getting really squishy in there.

Stretch marks? Oh plenty, I just started getting some on my belly under my belly button.

Belly button? Still an inny but the top part of it is kind of hard so sometimes you can see that through my shirt. Now I am thinking it is just going to stay an inny just stretched out though

Milestones? Making it to 39 weeks, I'm ready for her to come out now.

Best moment of the week? Being lazy and enjoying it!


What I am looking forward to? Meeting our baby girl.

Pregnancy moments with Matt:  When he talks to baby he keeps asking her when are you going to come out? I feel the same we really want to meet her!

Nursery Sneak Peek

Special Treats

Today is my last day of work! YAY!
One of my co-workers wanted to buy me a treat so she bought me a gelato ice cream. It was delisious! I did not take a picture because I ate it too fast. Oops.
I did how ever get a really nice delivery surprise from the managment company that takes care off the office building that I work in. Here is a picture.
It's a edible arrangement! So cute right? It was also very tasty, I shared with the girls because that is too much fruit to eat all by myself. It was a great last day of work, nice and easy and full of treats.

Pregnancy moments with Matt:  Well this week Matt has been sick so he hasn't really been able to hang out with me and baby much because he didn't want to get us sick. But one evening we were sitting on the couch and baby was moving a lot and Matt was just watching my belly and told me that he is so excited to meet our little girl!

Only A few more days....

Only a few more days of work and then I am off! Hooray! As you can tell I am not excited about it. Ha! I am so looking forward to being off. I have so much today to get things ready before baby that it will be so wonderful to not be working all day.
How ever yesterday was moving home day. After 6 weeks of living at my parents (I'm not complaining about it I didn't have to cook or clean! They took good care of me) it was nice knowing that I get to go home. However I got home and the house is not in the shape I was hoping it was going to be in.
We brought home baby stuff from my parents and it is all in our living room, I would take a picture but it is just that disastrous that you would be shocked. I did too much though with moving things yesterday that I woke up in the middle of the night to go pee and could barely walk because my back was so sore! I am not used to not being able to do things myself so I was feeling good when I was moving stuff just a little bit of heavier breathing the usual but ok. Then I sat down in the evening and was so sore it was awful! Tonight I will still do a few things but not nearly as much. We did put the crib and the bassinet together, well my dad and my brother put those things together (Matt was working on the office in the basement so the furniture can get put together tonight).
Once we can get our living spaces back to "normal" then I will get into more of the baby things. Its hard to get into the baby things when you see everything else all a muck and making your normal day to day living way harder then it should be.

How big is baby? The baby is about 19 inches long from head to toe and weighs nearly 6 pounds.

Gender? GIRL!!

Symptoms? I'm getting tired too quick and I can't do as much physical activity anymore like moving things.

Food Cravings? Nothing in particular. I haven't really craved anything.

Movement?  Lots of movements, I love it so much!

Belly button? Still an inny but the top part of it is kind of hard so sometimes you can see that through my shirt.

Milestones? Making it to 36 week! 4 more weeks to go. Time is going so fast, but I am looking forward to meeting our little one.

Best moment of the week? Having my doctor's appointment and knowing that we are right on track for where we are. Also baby's heart beat was a healthy 145bpm.


What I am looking forward to? Getting my house put back together so I can go through all of our baby things.

Pregnancy moments with Matt:  Matt came with me to my doctor's appointment today for the first time and of course they were running behind by an HOUR AND A HALF due to a new computer software. While we were waiting Matt got to see baby move and feel her. He also got to feel her have the hiccups (this was the first time he got to experience that)
