25 weeks!
25 weeks!
We have also been hard at work getting her nursery together! Here are just a few shots of us getting the furniture together! You wouldn't think it would be so time consuming and difficult to put these things together but it all worked out and honestly didn't take TOO long!!
We were lucky to have my dad and sister Catherine to help put together the dresser!! Catherine spent the weekend with me while Aaron was in VT fishing with his uncles! We were able to move a bunch of stuff upstairs and set up my new closet! Aaron is turning out to be way more handy than I anticipated when I married him and he completely remodeled our closet! It is better than I could have imagined! Catherine and my dad finished up the sunday afternoon but putting together the dresser!
Aaron put together the changing table the next day! I absolutely love the furniture and I am very glad we decided to go with the natural wood color!
Putting together the crib was a little more challenging!
Luckily we had Boomer being his usual nosy self and helping out!
I think this smile is more about the fact that he is almost finished than that this was a fun project!
I am giving the two thumbs up!
Yay Daddy did it!
Showing the baby her crib!! She was kicking with joy :-)
So some more news on the pregnancy front is that we are currently on bedrest. I always thought that bedrest would be a really nice ---- a perfect excuse to literally lay around and not do anything- but I never considered that bedrest meant that something wasn't right and that laying around while preparing for a baby is not exactly the ideal situation! I started having so stomach pain and just not feeling good on Monday, and then it sort of led into Tuesday. Wednesday I got up early to do some on-call stuff for work and when I got back to the office on Wednesday morning around 10am I was pretty sure that I needed a day to just try to feel better! Luckily my boss was nice enough to let me go home for the day and Boomer and I just slept ALLLL day! It was in the 90's that day so to be honest I dont know which one of us was more miserable! I felt better wednesday night and even better thursday morning when I woke up! I started getting ready for work and it just all went downhill! I figured it was time to call the doctor and just see if there was something going on..i went in and got checked out...my cervix though soft and sensitive (not really sure what that means) was completely closed but there were some signs of preterm labor so they did a few tests just to be sure. Everything looked great except we did get a positive result for one of the preterm labor tests so they called me in to start corticosteriod shots to boost the baby's lung function and sent me home to rest for 10days!! I was very very scared at first but things seem to be getting better so I am much more relaxed and looking forward to carrying this baby for several more weeks if not months! I am hoping to get the all clear to go back to work June 7th but will know more in a few days!! In the meantime I am just resting and making sure to keep this little monkey safe!
I am so grateful to have Aaron who has been sooo supportive through this entire pregnancy but especially the past few days! My sister has also been amazing throughout and came this weekend to clean my house- HOW AWESOME IS THAT!? and we have such supportive network of family of friends! Finally I have Boomer who has been laying at my feet making sure to check on me and trying really hard to be a good dog!!
Well we will be adding more pictures soon! Thanks for sticking it out on such a long post!!!
