Baby K's Nursery

This past weekend, Mike and I put the finishing touches on the nursery!  It is now ready and we just need the baby! ;) 

Walking into the nursery from the hallway.

The crib and glider.  Not pictured is the side table I just purchased.  It will go beside the glider and has drawers for bibs and blankets, as well as a place for me to stash a few snacks and a water bottle!

I love the window valance!  I also made a couple word art pictures that I framed and hung up.  The stroller will eventually  be kept in the garage, but for now it's safe in the nursery.

Baby girl's closet is starting to fill up!  I have most of her clothes still on the hangers, but a few might be transferred to her dresser.  We also have the pack and play as well as a box of miscellaneous toys/stuff in the closet for now.

I love this area of the room because I feel like it's where I've spent the most time making things for her.  I painted the lamp pink and we are using a shelf from Mike's old bedroom to display some books.  We have a bunch of cloth diapers on the changing table shelves for when she's big enough to wear those!

The view from by the window.  Champ is quite excited to be a big brother--though he doesn't quite understand why we won't let him in the room!

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Our first shower this weekend.

34 Weeks

How far along: 34 weeks (6/15/13)

Baby size: 19 inches from head to toe (though based on the length of her daddy's legs, I'd bet she's a little longer!) and about 5 pounds.  I can tell she is growing because I can feel movements in multiple places at once!

Total weight gain: 36 pounds (I haven't been weighing myself at home anymore, so I'll find out at my next doctor appointment)

Maternity clothes: Yes! 

Stretch marks: None :)

Sleep: Awful this week!  Baby girl would kick as I was trying to sleep and I had a couple nights when I'd wake up in the middle of the night for a couple hours.

Best moment this week: Wednesday night, Mike had his hand on my belly and she was moving like crazy. He'd press down or poke her a little bit and she'd press right back. It was so fun to watch them "play" together already!  (Also, we had our birthing class this week, so that was pretty neat.)

Miss anything? Being able to move like I used to!  My movements are slower, I can't bend down as easily, and my belly is so big!

Movement: Yes!  She's moving all over!  I had my hand on my belly yesterday and I could feel her move her hand (I'm assuming) like 5 inches...it was so cool!

Food cravings: Speedy Freeze--so refreshing in the heat!

Have you started to show yet? Yes, for sure!

Gender: Our little one is a girl!

Labor signs: No, but baby girl is head down (she has been for a while now) so she's getting ready!

Belly button in or out? In, but it's flat now.
Wedding rings on or off? On, but if I'm warm, I can't get them off again! 

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Finishing up the nursery.

How far along: 33 weeks (6/8/13)

Baby size: 19 inches from head to toe and about 4 pounds.

Total weight gain: 36 pounds

Maternity clothes: Yes!  My clothing options are getting fewer and fewer though as my belly continues to grow!

Stretch marks: None :)

Sleep: I feel like I'm sleeping well and getting enough sleep!

Best moment this week: Another doctor appointment, so hearing our little girl's heartbeat (156).

Miss anything? Laying on my stomach

Movement: Yes!  She's moving all over!  I've been the recipient of quite a few rib kicks this week!

Food cravings: Speedy Freezes

Have you started to show yet? Yes, for sure!

Gender: Our little one is a girl!

Belly button in or out? In, but it's flat now.

32 Weeks

How far along: 32 weeks (6/1/13)

Baby size: 19 inches from head to toe and about 4 pounds.  She is gaining an average of 1/2 a pound each week now, and is about half of her birth weight.

Total weight gain: 32 pounds (didn't weigh myself this week)

Maternity clothes: Yes!  It's getting difficult though, because some of my maternity shirts are even getting to short!

Stretch marks: None, but I have been putting coconut oil on a few times a week!  At this point, if I don't have any, I probably won't get any...yay!

Sleep: I'm a much lighter sleeper now that I have ever been.  I feel like I wake up a lot, but I'm not too tired, so I must be getting enough sleep.

Best moment this week: When Kaylyn felt our baby hiccup--the wide-eyed look was so priceless.  This baby is so loved already!

Miss anything? Sleeping through the night.

Movement: Yes!  She's moving all over!  This week I've been able to see my belly "poke" out a couple times when she's jabbed me.

Food cravings: Fruit!

Have you started to show yet? Yes, for sure!

Gender: Our little one is a girl!

Labor signs: No

Belly button in or out? In, but it's flat now.
Wedding rings on or off? On, but if I'm warm, I can't get them off again!  My hands are starting to swell with the warmer temperatures.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Painting the lamp this week (thanks Ashley!) and hopefully finding a side-table to complete the nursery.
