Not too much has changed since my last post. I had another checkup this week and again the baby's heartrate has stayed pretty constant. It was in the 130-140 range. And I've gained another one or two pounds. I've finally caught up with my belly measurements and I'm right on schedule and measuring exactly at 32 weeks (which I was at the time). I'm not sure what that means but the doc said that was good! The baby is about the size of a pineapple, hopefully it won't have the prickly attitude ;)
We're just about done with our birth classes. I found out and saw more than I ever wanted to see! I don't think I need to explain the video that they show. I don't think Ry opened his eyes the entire 9 minutes it played. But there are images that are forever burned into my mind now. Like everyone says though, it all changes when it's your little one that's being placed in your arms. I can't believe that it's only a few more weeks till we'll see our little babe!
We're definitely ready for his/her arrival though. The nursery is finally all ready. The room was painted, furniture arrived, and there's a bit of decor up! The room turned out amazing and it was exactly what I had pictured. It's still missing a bit of "oomph" but that'll change once we know it's a boy or girl. Then we can put his/her name up on the walls, and we'll have more pictures to hang. Here are some pics!
As you walk in:
A view of the changing table and shelves:
The crib and rocking chair w/ottoman. Also Ry's old blankie and teddy from when he was a little one.
And the vast wardrobe that was generously bestowed upon him/her!
Ry and I also did some maternity pics to journal this point in our lives. I know that some people think they are cheesy but I loved how they turned out. It'll be great to look back upon see the progression, just like this blog. Here are a few of the teaser pics she sent me until I get the rest:
And finally, belly pics! Just when you think you've seen the worst. It's so funny to see how my belly moves when the little one is adjusting in there. My belly does a little wiggle from side to side. It looks like he/she is dancing in there, and definitely feels like it, especially when it's on my bladder!
I thought I'd switch it up and change the background up. I know you miss Ry's swim trunks in the background that didn't move for months ;P
