Our 4D appointment was Saturday and we were all so excited to go and see baby Frederick in motion! We got some amazing pictures of him and walked away with 8 printed pictures, CD with 25+ digital pictures and a 20 minute DVD. As some of you know, we were hesitant in doing the 4D sonogram as it's pretty expensive but I am so glad we did! It was definitely worth it and special to have our mom's there to watch...and they also helped pay for it...which was an added bonus :-) Baby boy looks just like Chris and is so sweet. He likes to rest with his little hand on his face which is funny because both of us sleep with one arm up by our face :-) He fell asleep after about 10mins and the technician poked him a little with the wand and he did not like that. He took his hands and feet and started pushing up/kicking me and her wand. It was funny to watch! And we found out that he is still head down but is curved to my right side...hence all the pain by my ribs.
After our appointment we headed to Pottery Barn Outlet to search for a new area rug. And since I was on cloud 9 from seeing baby boy, I had lots of energy and felt great so we took advantage of this and decided to shop for a bit. Only one store though, just to make sure I wasn't pushing it! But we lucked out and found a new 8x10 area rug, drapes, pillows, candle sticks, place mats...and much more! Chris and I have been searching for months for an area rug and have not had much luck. It's so hard to decorate when you can't find your starting colors. We found a simple rug, not sure I would have every thought to buy this rug but then when we put the pillows, drapes and factored in our white sofa, everything seem to match perfect! It looks great and I am really excited to finally have the room together :) Here's a picture of one similar to the rug we got and we also have the same white sofa and our pillows are shades of cranberry, blues, greens and yellow...so you can get an idea of what it looks like.
Changing table...Well, it's almost done and I will post a picture of it before and after so you can see what it looked like. It was pretty ugly but what can I expect for a used changing table. We bought a new contoured pad this weekend and the cover matches our bedding (pictures to come). Chris' mom is making basket liners and we still need to get one more basket. I think it turned out great and for $10, you can't beat that!
Before - Ugly & Beat Up Blue and White with some yellow accents...but I saw it's potential :)
After - We added wood pieces on each shelf and at the top and repaired all the dings, 3 coats of paint and it looks great!
We got our furniture and it looks AMAZING! I can't wait to get the bedding all set up and see what the room will look like. But we have to wait another week before we can complete the nursery because we are having the guys that refinished our hardwoods come back this week to fix some mistakes and put another coat of poly on...yes, this is a huge headache for us (mainly Chris) because we have to move all the furniture out AGAIN for several days and then ask friends to help us move it back in. And I am useless! But we both want to have them done right and while they are offering to add extra coats of poly, we're going to get it done. So we will again, move our china and other small things up into the baby's room while this is going on.
This weekend we plan to start our search for Chris' new car. We definitely need an SUV so hopefully there are some good deals out there. His lease runs out in August so we're hoping that we can talk the sales guy into paying the last 2 months payments and we can walk away with a new car this weekend. We're looking at several different ones so the best deal will sell us :) It will be so nice to have an SUV...we just hate asking people to borrow their SUV's whenever we buy something big and need to load it.Here's an updated picture and as you can see I have grown, grown, grown!! Also I updated my questions below although I am mostly repeating myself :)
How far along? 29 weeks 4 Days
Total weight gain/loss: I gained a few in the past 2 weeks and am now up to 10 pounds total ;-)
Maternity clothes? Still wearing most of my pre-pregnancy shirts but they are getting a little snug now!
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Still getting up 2-3 times a night but sleeping ok other than that.
Best moment this week: 4D Sonogram!! It was amazing to see him move and to see his little features! He looks just like Chris and is so sweet. And the warm weather!!! I was able to relax and get a little sun this past weekend…it was great! Chris painting baby Frederick’s bathroom and working on painting the room. OH, and our furniture came in this weekend so I will definitely post pictures of the crib and bedding and our glider this week.
Worst moment this week: Not sure that this qualifies as the “worst moment” but it sure has been uncomfortable. Baby boy really likes my right side just under my ribs so he has planted his butt there for the past few days. Sometimes he kicks my ribs and it literally takes my breath away. It has been hard sitting at my desk during the day when he’s in his position and makes for a very uncomfortable/grouchy pregnant lady ;-) I have to lean to my left side and push him over and that lasts for about 10mins and he’s back over to his spot. Guess it’s comfy!
Food cravings: Avocado & Guacamole!!! And I have been craving Krispy Cream donuts but will not allow myself to have one.
Labor Signs: Nope
Milestones: Growth and movement! I didn’t realize how much I would feel him and how he can sense every little thing I do. He seems to recognize when I rub my stomach because he rests.
Looking forward to next week: Finishing up the Nursery and starting to decorate!
