Baby Girl's Nursery Part 2

Before I do the birth story post I should show you the rest of baby's room.
 
 
Because I'm a perfectionist and so is my dad I called him to come put the baby's name on the wall for us.




 
I love the tape measure. Also E was working crazy hours and was always at school so it was either I do them and possibly hurt myself or call dad. Always call dad haha

 
Then just before baby got here my best friend Meg took the letters back with her to paint them for me as a gift.

 
I love them and I think she did a fantastic job. E put them back up for me.
 
 
Baby's dresser with her bow holder her Auntie Bea made.

 
This cute little stand was a perfect thing my grandmother found. I love the baskets.

 
That picture of E and I was for a Pro Life even for our church. Super awesome they gave us the picture.

 
All of her stuffed animals along with her ABC wall.

 
Her crib with one of my favorite blankets that was specially made for us.


Brighter picture of her name in letters. Oh yes her name is Ryleigh Sloane
 


 
I had to add a touch of just her and I. ;-)

 
I think we are set on stuffed animals. What do you think?

 
And a close up on her ABC wall. My God-sister made these for us. I thought it was a super idea.

Pregnancy Week 28, Week 29, Week 31, and Week 33

I didn't take any pictures between weeks 26 through 28. Not much had changed. I also skipped Week 30 and 32. Oops!
 
Week 28:
 
My belly looks a little weird I think. And something is up with my back in this picture. This was a huge goal we were aiming for. I knew that if we at the least made it to week 28 and she for what ever reason needed to come she would be okay. Baby is the size of an eggplant and measured 2 pounds 4 ounces. Still only swelling symptoms and always hungry as well as a little less energy.
 
Week 29:
 
There we go, my belly looks a little more normal. Maybe it was the way I was standing the last picture or the way she was. Baby is the size of an acorn squash. Symptoms I'm having are acid reflux and swelling. Baby moves so much! It's fun to watch her move side to side.
 
Week 31:
 
Baby is the size of a pineapple. Last week she was measuring a week ahead and at 4ish pounds, but my belly was measuring 2 weeks behind. I still have reflux and swelling as symptoms. I've only gained 22 pounds!
 
Week 33:
 
Babyis the size of a Durian Fruit. At my appointment my belly was measuring at 30 weeks so about 3 weeks behind. (Doesn't look like it to me hehe)
Only symptom is swelling and craving Chinese food. I haven't felt the need to nest yet though.
