The seasons are finally changing. Gone are the days of 100+ temperatures and blistering sun. The days of fall are finally upon us. It has been so nice this past week opening the doors and letting in the fresh air.
Last weekend I ordered Elly's crib bedding and changing table. I was so excited when it arrived on Tuesday. I sat in the living room floor like a child on Christmas morning. In less than an hour I had the changing table assembled and placed in the nursery. I'm getting pretty good at putting all these things together. Wes will remind me of this next year when we have to start assembling Elly's Christmas and birthday presents! After the changing table I brought in the bedding to compare it to our wall colors. As I sat there staring at it, I realized the set doesn't match. The quilt and bumper matched just perfect, but there was something just not right with the skirt and crib sheet that came along with the set. For a moment I was on the verge of a meltdown until I remembered that the quilt was purchased separately. I had been on the fence about using a padded bumper from reading several articles online about how your baby could possibly suffocate themselves with the crib bumper. So I packed up the bumper, skirt, and sheet set to return and decided that I'll just use the quilt with a matching crib sheet and buy a breathable bumper. Walla!! That was a close one! Now if I could find a crib skirt....
It was a pretty rough week at work. I can't move as fast as before and when I am up and moving around I begin to have back pain and abdominal pain. Usually it's manageable but Friday it was more than I could handle. It wasn't until I got home and took off my shoes did I realize why. The swelling has begun. We had plans Friday night to attend a couples baby shower for our friends (and my new found preggo buddy) Thomas and Ashley. They had a great shower and I was able to stay off my feet most of the evening. We left right after the opening of gifts though as I really wanted to get home to rest my back and prop up my feet. Unfortunately the rest of the weekend hasn't been much better. Thankfully it was a gloomy weekend and we had no other plans. I think I've slept more than I have been awake the past two days. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. The next doctors appointment is on Tuesday afternoon so we will see what she has to say.
Well I went to upload a picture of the crb and changing table to show our progress but for some reason I cannot do so from my iPhone. The next post will have them and I'll take an even better picture (maybe it will have daylight) ;)
