A Little Bit of Everything

Okay, so I have been waiting and waiting to post again until I had the baby room finished. Well, its a slow process, so I thought I would just post an update on how its progressing so far. The only things that are left to finish are putting up some shelves, organizing the clothes in the dresser and closet, putting up the pink flower decals, and sewing all the buttons onto the recovered rocking chair.

I printed off a picture off the internet and cut it out to make my own stencil for the tree. It was a pain in the back, literally. 

(Sorry, all the pictures are kind of crappy, they were taken on my cell phone as my camera is at a friends)

And then I painted it on the wall with the help of my mother. And voila...

Then once that was done we set up the crib and put up the curtains. A few weeks later I assembled the dresser, which was both a pain in the butt and the back. A vinyl saying is going on the wall in the space above the crib, I just have to figure out what I want it to say. Any ideas?

I got a glider rocking chair from my mother-in-law, which is super comfy. But it had some rips in the covering, so my wonderful mother recovered the entire thing. It was a very difficult job. Now we just have to finish sewing on all the buttons onto the cushions. 

So the room is mostly finished, just a few small tasks to complete.

Here are the most recent pictures that I have of my bump. They were taken at 32 weeks by my friend Tal. I am going to take another pic on Sunday, when I will be 37 weeks.

On November 10th Ben and I went to Pincher Creek and had another ultrasound. This one was just for fun, and we wanted to check again to see if she was still a she lol. We also wanted to check to see if she was positioned correctly, which she was. Head down, face down. Perfect for delivery, not so perfect for ultrasounds. So here are a few pictures of her, both from my first ultrasound and the most recent one.

Yup, she is still a little girl. 35 weeks

I am starting to get quite uncomfortable now, with pulling ligaments and abdominal muscles, which makes sleeping very difficult, if not near impossible now. Oh, and Im easing into my nesting stage. Made a big huge list of things that still need to get done in the next three weeks, cleaned the living room, spare room, and bedroom, complete with dusting, windows, and vacuuming. And yes, I end up paying for it dearly by the end of the day with a killer back ache and ribs and abs that are screaming at me to stop being stupid.

Well, thats all for now. Ta ta. 

Oh, and Ben has decided that he wants to install the car seat tonight.
