Tuesday night (September 7th) we got a call from Babies-R-Us saying that our crib was finally in. So off we went to get the crib and crib mattress... and of course we put it all together that same night. And by we, I mean Mitch put it together while I sat in the glider drinking sweet tea and taking pictures. I like to think I provided the much needed moral support?
Either way, the crib looks amazing and Mitch really did a great job. Now we just need to try and figure out how we are going to configure so much furniture in such a tiny room. It sure is cramped in there! Once we figure out the configuration, we will get started on the wall decorations and getting everything finished.Our 32 week appointment was this morning and it went well. I found out that I passed my gestational diabetes test with flying colors (I was at 87) and that all of my blood work came back with no issues. I have been very blessed to not have any issues with my health throughout this pregnancy! His heart rate was 136 beats per minute and he is still head down (which is how he was at 27 weeks). We also were able to set up the remaining doctor appointments (there are 6 left). Every two weeks from now until 36 weeks, then we switch to weekly appointments with the last one scheduled for November 5th (40 weeks, 1 day). It's amazing to think how quickly November is getting here!
In addition- here are some pictures from Labor Day weekend at my dad's house. We purchased a brand new camera (a Nikon) that we really like. We wanted to get a really nice camera before the birth of our baby boy (imagine this... we plan to take tons of pictures of the little man!). So, we decided to go ahead and get it now so that we have time to learn all that we can about the camera ahead of time. 
We have been really pleased with the camera so far and look forward to it being used quite extensively! The first picture is of Mitch and I and then the second picture is of my dad and I "comparing" bellies. I'm pretty sure I win the biggest belly award... hands down. I really have no idea how my belly is supposed to grow any bigger! Countdown? 7 weeks, 6 days (or a total of 55 days until the due date).
Setting up the nursery was so much fun...and then it sat for a few months, because we put her in our room. We seriously waited until the last minute to get it done though. We finished on a Sunday and I went into labor Tuesday morning! We had to wait for our crib too, since Michael's dad made it for us. So, when we did put her in her room, she was in her bassinet and then pack n' play for awhile.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures too. Your dad looks good, but I think you belly is a little bigger!
Setting it up really is so much fun! We plan on having him in a bassinet in our bedroom at the beginning also, but we wanted to have the nursery put together ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful of Michael's dad to make a crib. That is a real treasure!
