4-D ultrasound

I had my 37 week check-up yesterday, but my belly was measuring 34 weeks instead. So today we had a 4-D ultrasound to make sure the baby is growing well and there is enough fluid. Things looked good, but we will find out for sure tomorrow after my doctor looks over the results.

She had her hands and feet in front of her face the whole time, so I was a little bummed not to get some good pictures. This was the best we could get. (In case you can't tell, its her profile with her arm in front of her face). But it was really fun to see her opening her eyes and swallowing. The tech could see that she has some hair too! Paige was pretty bald when she was born. :) I am just dying to have this baby! I'm having a really hard time being patient.

UPDATE: My doctor said the baby looks good and healthy. She is just a little small. Her weight is estimated to be about 6 lbs, which is the 20th percentile. He isn't worried though since I have a smaller build.

Baby's room

Paige came up with this pose all by herself. :)

My mom made this "carseat canopy" and I think its so cute! Thanks, mom! Isn't it a great idea?

Here is the baby's room so far. We bought the glider chair at Babies 'R Us last night and I was so excited because we got a great deal. We ended up getting it for half of the original price. Woohoo! (It was on clearance + it was the floor model + it was the last one in the warehouse + we had a 20% off coupon). Its really soft and comfy, so I'm excited to have a nice place to feed the baby in the middle of the night. 23 more days!

Next project...

I found this cute idea for baby name letters and I'm going to copy it in shades of pink. You just trace and paint the letters on 8 x 8 squares of stretched canvas. I will post pics when I'm done. Wait... I guess that would require me announcing our baby girl's name before she is born. How would Nate feel about that? Hmm... I will think about that one.

Also, I just wanted to share the cutest nursery ever. I love this theme. These pics are from a fun blog full of nursery ideas. I found that tree decal online, but its $60. Bummer.

The bird mobile

Here is the finished product:

I'm pretty happy with it. Its definitely not as perfect as Martha's, but I think its pretty cute.

35 weeks

This is me today at 35 weeks.



And just for fun... this is me pregnant with Paige at 35 weeks.

Bird Mobile

I have been obsessively "nesting" lately. All I can think about is cleaning the house, organizing everything, and decorating the new baby's room. I know I am being somewhat irrational because I want her room to be perfect, and that's just not going to happen without some major funding. But anyway, its been fun getting her room ready and I will post pics in the next week or so when it is closer to finished.

I found this bird mobile on Martha Stewart's website and I am definitely going to make it. I love it and I think it will match the baby's room really well. I will post pics of it when I'm done.
