Nursery




Here are a few pics of the nursery.  We still have things to hang on the wall and hope to get that all finished this week but in the meantime here is a sneak peak.  The pics are kind of dark and the green looks a little lighter in person.

I have tons more clothes from my sister that I need to organize.  So much of it is stuff that I normally wouldn't hang up but since we have so much closet space and only a small dresser I need to figure out how to best use the space.   Time is running out so it is definately on my to do list for the next few days!

My Pregnancy - 34 Weeks



Hard to believe I will be 34 weeks on Wednesday and since I have been bad about blogging I thought this would be a good place to start updating.   (Picture is from 33.5 weeks and not very good)

How far along: 34 weeks

 
Size of baby: Average baby weight at 34 weeks is 4 and 3/4 pounds- the size of a cantaloupe!

 
Total weight gain/loss: +25-30 (ugh that sounds like a lot!!!)

 
Maternity clothes: Almost everything I wear is maternity. I have a couple of maxi type dresses that are non maternity that are working out rather well still.

Gender: It's a girl!  The boys are getting a little SISTER!

Movement:  She is moving like crazy!  When I am relaxing in the evenings, you can see so much movement on the outside it looks like a party is going on in there. 

Sleep: Still ok.  Getting up 2-3 times to go to the bathroom and waking up in the night achy and needing to switch positions but still getting good rest for the most part. 

 
What I miss: Nothing too much.  I miss the occasional glass of wine.

Cravings:  Still ice cream and watermelon.  I cannot get enough. 

Symptoms: Heartburn, mostly at night when I lay down.  Also, lower back and belly pain and tailbone pain. 

Fun Purchases: A couple more adorable outfits!  I love shopping for girl stuff!

 
Surprises: That I have made it to 34 weeks complication free and also how fast time is flying by.

Best Moment this week: Tomorrow we will be exactly one month away from our scheduled c-section!!!

Dates:
Next Dr. appointment  Thursday 8.18.2011
C section 9.16.2011
 
Emersyn Joy will be here in 1 month!!!
