Not a lot has been going on around here in the last week... spending more time getting the house organized. Harper's room is basically put together as much as we can right now. Mom just texted me her bumper which is practically finished and looks SO CUTE!! I need to get more of the ribbon for the ties at the corners but then it will be finito! :) Can't wait to get it up here and put into her crib. I picked out just some plain pale pink sheets. Our crib comes all the way to the ground so I opted not to do anything fancy for the dust ruffle but will just likely get a plain white one to cover up the metal below the mattress.
Mom's making us some curtains that will be the green and white polka dots mostly with the paisley print at the bottom. She's also making us a cushion with matching fabric to use on top of the toybox David made us so it can be a little bench!! Can't wait to get it all put together :) :)
I started another craft today for her room... I found some pinterest inspiration that had three canvases hung above the crib with a monogram. Here's my current progress:
I'm definitely not the best painter and have the worst handwriting ever but I'm pleased with how these are looking so far! My pink letters need another coat and I've got to do the R at some point but it's on pause for the rest of the evening.
I also ordered a couple cute little headbands for Harper from an Etsy shop :) I don't have a going home from the hospital outfit picked out yet but I ordered one white and one pink so I'm sure one will work with her 'fit!
I guess I need to go ahead and pack a hospital bag but for some reason I'm procrastinating on that task. I have a limited amount of shorts/leggings that I like wearing right now and I really don't want them packed up in a bag. Maybe I can just start with Harper's bag first ;)
My next doctors appt is Monday and that's when they'll check me for the first time to see if I'm dilated or anything yet... my fingers are crossed for no. I really, really want to take these exams before she arrives and I'm going to feel super antsy if I'm dilated at all. My first test is next Thursday and it's the biggest so it will be nice to get that out of the way!
I'm headed to Etown this weekend for another baby shower which I am super excited for! Aunt Lisa and Jan are hosting and it's for the King ladies :) We have a wedding in Eastern KY Saturday evening though so unfortunately won't get to see our dads on Father's day... but happy, happy father's day to both our dads and both granddads!! And to Andy :) :) Who knows, he could be holding Harper on Father's day?!!
I've been in the ICU this week which has been pretty easy... and I get to wear scrubs which is great ;) The patients are so sick that they really don't let the med students near them so I've basically been shadowing all week. One of our patients delivered a 25 week old baby so we went up to the NICU to see the baby... it's hard to believe how tiny he was!! And how all the other babies in the NICU looked like giants compared to him... which then made me think about how much more giant the baby is inside of me.... and how it has to come out.... lol. I may be starting to get a tiny bit nervous about all that but am more excited than anything ;)
We will be fullterm next Wednesday!! Though we would all appreciate it if she can sit tight for a few more weeks ;)
Here's our update for the week... I decided to add in a picture of me at week 6 just to compare to 36......... OMG. I honestly don't feel huge and uncomfortable at all but when I look at the difference I seem about 3 times as big!
How far along: 36
Total Weight Gain: 27... hoping this slows down.. I hear it's supposed to towards the end?
Stretchmarks: Nope... Andy thought he spotted the beginnings of the linea nigra on my belly but we think it was a false alarm
Sleep: I am seriously sleeping like a rock... I told Andy this morning that I don't know what's up with pregnancy insomnia bc it has not happened to me... he thinks I may have jinxed myself ;)
Best Moment This Week: getting Harper's room more acceptable looking :)
Movement: all the time!
Gender: Baby girl!!
Labor Signs: some braxton hicks occasionally
Belly Button: innie :)
What I Miss: sitting with good posture... I want to recline now to give her a little more space under my ribs ;)
What I am Looking Forward to: shower this weekend and my drs appt on monday!
Milestones:she's approximately 6 - 6.5 lbs!!
Thanks for playing along with the weight guesses!! I know a lot of you all left them on facebook so I'll copy those into the blog comments at some point so I can find them after she has arrived! :)
