The Nursery!

We got our wall decal for the nursery yesterday, Justin was surprised just how excited I got. Literally jumping up and down and squealing! So we stayed up late putting it up and now I can finally post proper pictures of baby's room!! My mom made a crib skirt & crib sheet which is going to totally pull it all together, I can't wait to get it!

I still have to make a photo for above baby's change table! I think I'm just going to end up making them in separate frames since I have had some difficulty finding a frame with just 4 openings! Plus then I can space it as I like! So that is next on the DIY list!


For any of you who may be curious where baby's clothes are going, we have the dresser tucked inside the closet!! We had planned on it being in the room but it ended up feeling too crowded and there is a decent amount of space in the closet anyways!! :)

The swing will also be moved out of the nursery once baby comes and will take its permanent home in our living room :) But for now I am too lazy to disassemble it, so in the corner it stays! :D

I'm so excited with the way it all turned out! It is so weird to think that in 7 weeks, give or take, we will have a child sleeping in there! Eeeeeee!! Anyways, wanted to share some photos for those of you who have been asking for them! :D

The littlest monkey

I just want to start by saying I plan on doing a legit update with good pictures of the nursery soon, I just have stuff for the hospital bag on the floor and am too lazy to clean it up to take some photos :) hehe!!

I wanted to do a little belly update, and post a crazy video of the little alien inside my belly! Warning, if you do not want to see my bare belly don't watch the video, and don't go to the beach with me ever :) hehe! 

Baby has been doing really well and is moving A LOT! Baby tends to favour my right side and is head down and generally stays that way. Baby gets the hiccups pretty much every time I eat, which is a good sign and a super weird feeling! Baby likes to move a lot in the morning when I wake up and in the evening from about 8-10. I find that I spend a lot of time just watching my belly, I probably look like a psycho to people who just see me hanging out, but OH well! 




You have to wait until 15 seconds(or so) in before it gets good! 

I am currently 32.5 weeks, which is exciting because I am in the single digits for counting down the weeks! I have started to get Braxton Hicks contractions which is good because it means that my body is preparing for the real deal, but its also really annoying and uncomfortable! 

I am finished work August 15, which is coming up SUPER quickly! HOORAY!! I find I get contractions whenever I work, or am on my feet for a long period of time, so it will be nice to be able to take breaks whenever necessary! 

My OB appointments have been pretty boring, as baby and I are very healthy, but this past week we had some excitement! I have been measuring exactly as I should be, but this past appointment I didn't really grow from my last appointment 2 weeks ago. So we have to go for an ultrasound to make sure that baby is growing as it should! I am fairly certain that baby dropped since the last appointment, as I am feeling a lot more movement farther down as well as pressure! Baby dropping would definitely affect how my tummy is measuring, so that is reassuring especially with the amount of movement I still feel! 


Here is my photo from Tuesday at 32 weeks! :) 

Well off to bed for me! Don't worry, I haven't turned 90 just yet. I read in bed before falling asleep especially when Justin is on night shift :D
