28 Weeks

We have officially made it to the THIRD TRIMESTER!! Now, now, let's not get too excited, there are still 3 more months to carry this little girl. She needs to get a lot bigger and stronger before she comes into the world! I'm thrilled to be on the downhill slide part of pregnancy now though!

Technically, yesterday was 28 weeks, but I wanted to wait to post after my doctor appointment today!

Good news is that our little angel is just kicking away inside and as healthy as can be! Her HR was 134, which is just where it should be and I am doing well too! Symptoms are still very mild. However, I have added some rather annoying ones to the mix. Restless legs and occasional headaches. Nothing too serious and I am certainly still counting my blessings for not throwing up yet. I'm pretty sure I have escaped that one and I am feeling very lucky!

So, in other news, it is still cold in Cheyenne!! And if it is a beautiful day with no snow and plenty of sunshine the wind is sure to blow and make what looks like a wonderful day, not so wonderful. I'm counting down the days to my trip home. I'm very excited to feel the sunshine on my skin again in two weeks. Hopefully the sun will shine without the wind soon in Cheyenne. I'm hoping that by May it is nice enough to go outside with just a sweater on!

Things around the house are progressing. We have painted the baby's room and put what furniture we have already inside. The cradle will be going downstairs once we get a crib. She will be sleeping right close to me so I can take care of her for the first few months.

Today the rug I ordered came and I was so excited because not only did it come early, but it is absolutely perfect!! I'm in love with it and I am hoping to finally be able to finish up her room. I'm trying to bring in some other colors so it isn't just PINK! I want something soft and sweet. We will see how this all works out though. I will post more pictures as I get things done, but here is what we have for now!

 Right now I have only completed one of the curtains. I wanted to get it up and see what it looks like before I did the next one to see if I wanted to make any changes. I really like it so I'm going to go ahead and make the next one this week. :-)

 Her changing table still needs the pad, but my wonderful mom is making a new cover for me. So, until I get it the changing table is a clothes holder. Fun little sentimental fact.... The wooden boy and girl carvings on top of the dresser my mom made for my nursery. I have always loved them and I'm so happy to have them to put in my little girls room! :-)

 This rug is just amazing!! Again, my wonderful mother had a part in it. She helped me find it online at Joss&Main. It was an amazing deal and it is just what I want. I'm so in love with it because it is sweet enough for her room now, but she can also grow up with it too!

 This corner is pretty boring. I'm got another great deal on the picture frames though. Those pictures were also in my nursery. Love them too! I clearly need more books to put in the book rack. I'm sure that will come with time though.

The closet is nothing too amazing, but I had to show off the shelves that Chris made for my baskets. There is another set of shelves on the other side with more baskets. Chris did such a great job with them and really fixed up her closet well. I love her cute little dresses too. I can't wait to get more!

Well, that's all I got for now. Until next time my belly will continue to grow and hopefully things around the house will continue to get done.
