It was definitely harder than I would ever have imagined to come up with the PERFECT name! Nearly everyday a new name would come to the table & it was either taken into consideration or shot down immediately. We wanted to include a family name in the mix which makes things complicated & fun at the same time. As Sean so eloquently stated, if you don't like it, you don't have to pretend you do!
I had another MD appointment today that Maggie went with me to at 8AM for Week 26. It was the lovely glucose tolerance test. This is where you fast for at least 2 hours prior, then you drink this sugar 10 oz drink & they draw lab work one hour after the drink to test for gestational diabetes. Fun, fun! The MD said that I had gained another 4 lbs (in 4 weeks), a total of 12 lbs. I may not continue to give you this information if that number gets abundantly higher and higher! ;) We got a good report...MD said that Carley was very active! I believe that because I can actually see Carley move in my belly! It almost takes my breath away, in a very good way!
Week 23
Week 24
Week 25
During this week, I picked out the 2nd fabric swatches for Carley's bedding! The 1st bedding I ordered came in & it was neon green & brown paisley! It hurt my eyes the green was so bright! It was not what I anticipated one bit for Carley's nursery & the store I ordered it from was nice enough to let me pick something else out! Yay!
This is a brown & cream twall with a green stripe pattern & brown trim! Hopefully this will not be as bright as the other bedding! I think that it will be PERFECT!! We added pink bows & pink ruffles!!
Sean is such a wonderful husband, once again! I got to pick out a Best Chair glidder chair & ottoman that is suppose to be the "best chair", as recommended by my sister-in-law, Rebekah! The green swirl is the fabric I picked out for the chair & ottoman! So excited!
Week 26
Sean painted Carley's room, a beautiful, neutral blonde color all by himself because the pregnant woman is no help with the paint fumes! Sean also put together Carley's crib! I picked quite the best HANDYMAN husband! The furniture is dark chocolate brown although it looks black in the pictures! We also added cream blinds to the windows.
Okay, the story with this hutch is that we ordered it as a combination hutch, thinking that the combo included the bottom drawer part too, obviously not the case! It is now on order & backorder! We are patiently waiting for it to arrive! :)
