Nursery progress

Last night we made some major progress on our nursery. We moved out the rest of the miscellaneous crap that was in the room, put the crib together and put our ridiculously cute wall decals up and rug on the floor. As promised, a few photos:

We still have an adorable bear decal to add but we need till our nursery is more complete to know where the best spot is.

For real, could this be any cuter?

97 days to go

Til our due date, according to the BabyCenter app on my phone. Also. The baby looks like a baby and not a tadpole. The Cannoli is moving around a lot these days and sometimes I get some big jabs you can see from the outside which is pretty cool.

This was a crappy week for me in the medical system:
- I was the subject of a HIPAA breach at the lab above my OB's office. I still need to write a complaint (my second complaint about this lab in the last two months).
- I just barely failed my glucose challenge test. Agh, I am blaming the banana I had for breakfast before I took the test. What this means is Monday morning I have to do a three hour glucose test which involves drinking some nasty sugary drink and getting my blood drawn every hour for three hours. Terrible.
- And at my OB appt Monday my doctor said I'm measuring big and casually mentioned I may want to think about a c-section. Um, what? I'm semi surprised she would say this, especially this early. But I'm going to proceed with my doula and building our birth plan and if at my ultrasound in a few weeks we see some giant baby, who also is breech or some other valid reason for a major invasive surgery, then I guess I'll think about a c-section.

In other news, after wearing the same Walmart moomoo everyday for five days in a row, I went and bought another one in a different color. This is an excellent development. And tonight Dan and Lindsay are coming over to help us with the nursery, pics surely to follow.

I think I'm getting pretty excited for our Cannoli to arrive. Sometimes 14 weeks, 97 days, or 3 months (depending on your preferred time metric) seems so far away and other times I know it's just going to fly. I sort of can't picture our lives with a baby around but I guess that'll all take shape soon enough.

6 months

I know what you're thinking: worst blogger ever. Fair enough, but we literally just emerged from the worst month and the blog was not the priority. I'm sure I'll get around to writing something about April 2013 because this could be a healing exercise, but now isn't that time.

Fear not, our terrible month was not related to the pregnancy. Our Cannoli is growing well; at our appointment in the beginning of the month we learned she is in the 80th percentile for weight. She's moving a lot and we've been able to see some of her movement from the outside. I continue to rock this whole "being pregnant" thing - no illness, no excessive tiredness or physical symptoms, and loving the eating allowances I may be abusing (seriously work people, don't put cookies out if you don't want me to grab one every time I walk by). And, best news yet - our weather has finally turned and I can start wearing dresses. Have I mentioned how terrible maternity clothes are? I believe I have. Sundresses are going to save me for the next three months.

OMG three months.

Our nursery is underway, we've painted and ordered wall decals. We registered at BuyBuyBaby which was ridiculously intense, but luckily we had Lindsay to guide us and now Cannoli is gonna have some sweet swag when she comes here. We're going to be adults and meet with a financial advisor (Nick's brother) so we can maybe not be poor. And eventually we'll start looking into child care, so um, never-mind about that not being poor thing.
