Room update

Ok, so I took pictures of Finley's room, but on my cell phone.  So, if you want to see the dresser and cubbies, check out my facebook profile.  Loving what her room is looking like so far, although I can't wait for the crib and seeing her bedding put together.  Most importantly, Finley herself.  She has been very moveable lately.  My stomach has been jumping quite often and it's highly entertaining to watch. 

Now that I'm in the third trimester, my doctor appointments are every 2 weeks now.  Went last week for my Rhogam shot (since I'm A- blood) and had an ultrasound done to measure Finley.  Within days, I've already forgotten whether she's 2.8 pounds or 2 lbs 8 oz.  I CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING LATELY!  I was not properly warned for these problems.  I'm back to losing sleep, going the bathroom in the middle of the night, and getting much more stressed.  We have 3 to do lists around here with things to take care of and CRCT approaches next week.  If I can just make it to her delivery sane.  I need an assistant to keep me up to date.  Love love love my husband, but he's not the best at reminding me anything.  I'm his reminder on most tasks, so I'm struggling big time here. 

Keep your fingers crossed the crib arrives soon!  I would love to have it before her shower!

Preparing for Finley

Today I purchased the paint for Finley's room ... ladybug red.  It's dark and has me super excited!  The crib is expected in either this week or within 2 more weeks.  We've purchased the dresser and cubbies for her room, but have not assembled them yet so that we can paint safely around them.  My parents are coming this weekend to paint, and I'll get some pictures of before and after.  The only other piece of furniture we're needing to get is a chair and we haven't decided on what we're going to do in regards to that. 

Speaking of pictures, I got to see Finley today on ultrasound.  They were unable to get measurements of her because she was breached and not moving for them.  Instead, they are making an appointment for a 3-D ultrasound.  I don't see the need for that; however I'm super excited to see her again and in 3-D. 

I begin the 3rd trimester this Thursday ... time is really starting to pick up!  So much to do and time is ticking!!!

Registry Fun

Saturday ... loooooong day, but super grateful to my sister, mom, and dad taking their time to help me learn more about what Finley is going to need.  There was so much to listen to and take in, and I was able to get my registries going!  We spent countless hours at Babies R Us and then I was pretty worn out, but we hit up Target also.  I'm also registered at Pottery Barn Kids, although I'm pretty sure all the items on that are only available online.  It's all the big stuff I really need like Finley's bedding and curtains, and such. 

Still need to find where to get a good mattress and I haven't registered for a car seat yet ... 2 MAJORLY important items, but they just haven't been easy to add.  I also made a trip to Ikea with my parents and was able to get Finley's dresser and cubbies for her bedroom.  I think I've decided on a chair for her room too, I just want to get Brian's confirmation on it before it's purchased.  Super excited to get Finley's room painted in 2 weeks.  My parents have offered to come down and transform her beige walls into ladybug red!  Trying to prepare myself for the drastic change, but I know it's going to be gorgeous!

Thanks again Leslie, Mom & Dad for your all your guidance, help, and time.  I know it was tiring for everyone, but I am so thankful y'all were willing to help.
