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!

Baby Shower

So Sunday afternoon I had my baby's baby shower, I thought I would share some pictures of the day.




This is the cake that my mom made, Rachel found a picture online of a cake like this and thought it would make a great baby shower cake (which it totally did i love it) and asked my mom if she could make it. My poor mom stayed up all Saturday night finishing things up for the baby shower for Sunday like decorating the cake because she didn't want me to see any of it since I am still living at their house while mine gets renovations finished up.
Here are some of the decorations, the little flower pot pink boots is definitely going to be going in our baby's room. My chair that I got to sit in for the baby shower, which is also going to be going in the baby's room as it is a rocker and glider chair it is so comfy.

One of the games and name tags (there are a lot of name tags because not everyone RSVP so my mom made a bunch for people that she thought might come but not all of them did). Here is the drink station.

                                        Super cute labels that Rachel made for the water bottles.
The wreath that Rachel made, I think everyone liked this they had fun trying to figure out how it went for my belly size. The other picture is the game called "my water broke" you have to try and melt your ice cube and inside the ice cube there was a little plastic pacifier. So when it melted you had to call out "my water broke". I had never heard of that game before but it was lots of fun!

Here is some of the food and beside that is the lovely Rachel who planned and organized all the games.

Here is me opening gifts, there was a lot to open. Thank you everyone! This is a diaper cake and my sister in-law made for me.

My brother brought down the cake for the party, such a good idea this cake, it was really heavy though, that's why my brother brought it down.
Here are my helpers to open the gifts towards the end I think they were getting impatient that there were still so many gifts to open.
This is the wrist corsage that my mom made me for my baby's baby shower and this is a close up of the name tags that she made.
This is what I did on Monday, opened up all the gifts and put them in a pile, I was too tired to really organize them but I did organize it better last night. Our baby girl got so spoiled! I am looking forward to getting all of this in her room and put away.

A huge thank you to Rachel for putting my baby shower together, getting all the games organized, bringing food and decorations! Thanks to my mom for opening her home for this get together, providing food, cake and decorations too! Love you both so much!
