Nursery

40 weeks and 2 days today! Cannot believe we have made it to and now passed the due date! I thought for sure this baby was coming early when I was feeling pretty bad around weeks 32-35. Since weeks 36/37 I have felt fine and apparently so has Ellis because she isn't budging!

 

At our 38 week appointment we had a small scare because my blood pressure was slightly elevated. We were told to come back in a few days (instead of the next week like normal) to check everything again and possibly be induced if my bp was high. They sent us over to labor and delivery to run some tests and monitor my blood pressure for a few hours. Turns out everything was perfectly fine-doctor said we couldn't look any better! So we were sent home to wait! Two weeks later and we are still waiting! She will come when she is ready I guess.

 

I wasn't sure if I would get the opportunity to post nursery pics before she came, but now I am just trying to stay busy each day! So here you go:

The nightstand is from my grandmother's house! Love having this piece in her room!

 

 

These pictures are amazing! I love the detail they bring to her room!

Here is a close up:

 

I found these prints on Etsy the shop is called The Gingham Owl. These prints were prefect for the nursery and I received them just a few days after my order! Great service, I would definitely recommend.

 

Now we just need the baby! Come on Ellis, we are ready to meet you!

 

Pregnancy/Baby Update:

 

Baby is the size of a watermelon or jackfruit this week and weighs between 6 and 9 lbs! She has measured exactly on track the entire time, so I imagine she weighs around 7-7.5 lbs right now. We have our 40 week appointment tomorrow. We will get a guess on how big she is from the doctor. I am sleeping better than I was a few weeks ago, which is great! Of course I wake up a million times a night, but am sleeping really well in between. Still counting down! Can't wait to meet our baby girl!
