Nesting!

Maddy and I are now 33 weeks along in this 9 month journey. Just six weeks until our scheduled delivery on June 6th! The nesting has kicked in full gear this weekend.

I had planned to just wash blankets, bibs, burp cloths, and a few other small bedding items and am now sorting all of her newborn and 3 month clothes. I had planned to wait and wash those items next month to give myself something to work towards, but alas, the nesting has taken over!

I also set up the basinette in our room (clearly well ahead of the necessary time) and am starting to fill it with receiving blankets, extra jammies/sleepers, diapers and wipes. You'd think she was coming home tomorrow!

I vascillate between wanting to hit the fast forward button and get to the day when I can hold her in my arms, and feeling perfectly content to have six more weeks. Since this may very well be my last pregnancy, I don't want to rush things. Honestly, this is the first time I've really felt like I would make it to our scheduled delivery date. I think that has something to do with the fact that it's scheduled a full week before my due date, where Andrew was scheduled just two days before my due date (and ended up being delivered 10 days early).

My OB appointments have become pretty routine and honestly, pretty lame. I get weighed (22 lbs. gained so far - not bad!), they check my BP and the baby's heartrate then send us on our way. I should feel fortunate that I'm not experiencing any complications, I guess. My OB hasn't even mentioned sonograms once we hit 36 weeks to start monitoring my fluid levels, probably since so far I'm measuring withing the normal range (less than 2 weeks behind). At our 3D ultrasound, the tech felt like we had plenty of fluid at that point so I haven't been concerned enough to even ask.

The nursery is basically done, except for the glider slip cover, valance and pillow that Blaugh is sewing for us. I really can't wait to see how those turn out. I got a few more things hung up on the walls and some accessories I really wanted in her bathroom. It's all turned out so cute!

Stay tuned...more to come!
