We have had a busy couple of weeks. We finished the nursery and I absolutely love it! I wanted to get new bedding for the guest bed that's in the room, but now I just don't see the point when we will be moving at the end of the year. I think the nautical theme came together perfectly. I am so proud of all of the DIY work that Eric and I put in to it. I made the bedding, Eric made the shelves, we sanded down and painted the table, I used my own painting of the Ravenel bridge, and I even made some cute curtain ties out of rope. We just need some pictures for the picture frames. Hopefully the jelly bean loves it too!
We also finished our master bedroom except for the other night stand and a blanket ladder. Eric is going to work on those after Beck arrives. He doesn't want to get into any more projects before then. I'm just so glad it's basically done! Another DIY project that I'm pretty proud of.
We had our maternity photo session when I was 35 weeks. We got a couple of teaser photos back and I am beyond excited to see the rest. The photographer said it would take a week or two so I have been frantically checking my email daily for the link. It's like torture. Charlee wasn't too cooperative for the session. She wanted to run around and refused to let Eric and I take pictures without her. The few times we did get to pose without her she would photobomb us within seconds. It was also extremely hot and ridiculously humid that evening. So the end result should be interesting!
Last weekend we went to visit Eric's family. I was beyond uncomfortable from the 2 hour drive. We went for a surprise party for his father and had a great time. However it was very hot and my back was extremely sore from sitting in a camp chair for several hours. I was more than ready for bed that night! Charlee was up until almost 11 after running around with Kip and Kimber and I admired her energy. The next day I kept putting off leaving because I didn't want to get back in the car. So we had lunch at Wawa's and then finally left around supper time. It was another long day and night for Charlee and it but it was worth it.
I have another doctors appointment tomorrow and I can't wait to hear the jelly bean again. I wish I could see him again before I deliver. Twice the entire pregnancy and no ultrasounds since 19 weeks is hard! But he will be here soon. I'm trying to "take it easy" per the doctors orders. I'm still having my episodes where I feel weird (like I drank too much and am dizzy, but the room isn't actually spinning), my body feels heavy, I feel lightheaded, and my blood pressure goes up slightly. I've basically been told to relax and monitor my BP. If it goes above 140 systolic (which it hasn't gone over 133) or 100 diastolic (it's gotten close a few times), I have to go in to the hospital for monitoring. I'm really hoping to avoid that! I just need to hang on for 15 more days!
The jelly bean is about 5.75lbs and 18.75 inches (about the size of a Crenshaw melon). He's mostly focusing on gaining fat and practicing his breathing technique. I am craving chocolate ice cream, strawberries, tomato soup (regardless of how much heartburn it gives me), and yesterday I had a ridiculously strong craving for pretzels and cheese from Buffalo Wild Wings (and my amazing husband surprised me with them when he came home from work).
