Baby Appointment Update

I had another appointment last Wednesday, and am now just finally getting a bit to time to write about it, even though not much happened lol.  The baby's heartbeat was around 130, although it took her a bit to get it because he wouldn't stop moving and kicking the doppler... definitely an active little bugger!!  I only gained 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks for a grand total of 2 pounds the entire past month... I was amazed by that!  And my belly is still measuring at 35 weeks (same as last time) even though I was only 30.5 weeks at the appointment.  The nurse said she's not at all worried about his not growing any this last time because that tends to be a pattern where the baby has a growth spurt and then slows down until the weeks catch up to the size... she said she won't be worried unless he's measuring small.  HAHA... my kid, measure small?!  Good luck!  So anyway, that was the update... I have 2 more two week appointments and then I go to the one week ones... time is going fast now!  YIKES!!!

More Baby Room!

I just have to post this picture.  This was my task for today... get the crib done!  Well, it's done, and I'm way excited about that.  It's an espresso color, even though it looks black in this picture.  I also had to crop it because I put up the sign that Erica made, and it has the baby's name on it... so that's still a secret.  Yes, Erica knows, but she's the ONLY one because she's like my second husband, so don't you go trying to ask her or anything!!
Next project will be the changing table and dresser once I buy them... oh, and the glider/ottoman combo. :)  We're almost there!!!

Baby Room!

Well, I finally decided to buckle down and finish the border in the baby's room.  I think it turned out quite good, if I do say so myself!
Yes, I sponge painted the animals and used a small paintbrush for the longer grass pieces.  I thought it would take longer to complete, but it didn't take long at all.  I ended up doing it every time the dogs went outside to go to the bathroom and didn't feel like coming in right away. :)
My next task is to get the crib together and then I can go buy the changing table... yes, I have a particular order of how I want to do things!
