Travis and I finally finished everything for the nursery! We spent most of this weekend on the finishing touches, which were mostly decorative. We added a bunch of molding frames, the main of which is over the crib. We’re planning on putting her name in the frame above the crib, which will have to be after she’s born, since we haven’t completely decided on her name. We’re also planning on putting pictures of her above the dresser, once we have pictures of her. I updated the “nursery” section of my blog with new pictures, so check them out – we think it turned out beautiful! We also installed the car seat bases in our cars, so we are ready to go!
I’m really starting to get excited that the baby will be here in a matter of weeks, or even days! My due date is only about a week and a half away, so it could be anytime now. Obviously, I’m hoping to have her close to my due date, or a day or two early, but I’ve read that most first time moms go after their due date. My doctor checked me at my last appointment (on Wednesday), but she said I wasn’t dilated yet. Even though I’m uncomfortable, I’m not exactly feeling like I’m at the “point of no return” yet. I’m still working out (went to the gym yesterday and today), and I’m feeling mostly good. I feel like I’ve been really lucky during my entire pregnancy and it’s gone by really fast (at least the second half has.) However, now that I’m getting so close, I am looking forward to not being pregnant anymore.
My next appointment is on Wednesday morning, and I’ll be 1 day shy of 39 weeks. I haven’t taken any current pictures, but I will sometime this week (at this point I have to take time to make sure I look nice - it can't be a spur of the moment decision) In the meantime, my friend Kristen sent me some pictures from her baby shower (which was at the end of January), and I thought I’d share, since they turned out so nice! She was about 31 weeks and I was about 35 weeks. (also...don't worry about how I'm wearing the same sweater in the last 3 blog posts...I actually don't wear it every day, just picture days haha.)
