Preparations
So, it seems that this pregnancy has really caught up with me. We have finally started Baby Girl's nursery and every day I add something new. It's absolutely gorgeous and a mirror image of what I would love for my room to look like:)
Last week I had a moment to look around and I realized that we had virtually done nothing in preparation for Baby Girl's arrival. Maybe it's a bit of nesting, but I started on a lengthy list of things that I could do to push things along. Husband, my Dad and MIL all came over and painted the room, which allowed me to go ahead and begin the decorating process. With many a trips to the store, her room is coming together. My Mom has completed all of her nursery bedding and is finishing up her quilt.
I have gone through some bags of clothes that my sister gave me from when my niece was a baby and filled up the dresser. I have even purchased a few pieces that I couldn't leave at the store for Baby Girl. I do not normally do a lot of clothes shopping, even for myself. For some reason I find it hard to buy clothes for a baby that has yet to arrive. So, she has a few new pieces that I bought, but nothing super crazy.
I am becoming more uncomfortable by the day and the fatigue has set in. Husband and I are becoming more and more excited as her due date draws near. We are finally able to talk about it and not be so preoccupied with my health issues. Believe me, my issues are always in the back of my mind, but at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
