32 Weeks

The bad news...we didn't get to see him today. The reason...because things are going so well! The original plan was to start doing ultrasounds at 32 weeks to measure growth. I saw the doctor and he said things looked great and he didn't think it was necessary today.

In the past 3 1/2 weeks I've grown 5 cm so we are back to a week ahead instead of a week behind, heart rate was 139 bpm (so just about the same as last time) cervix is still closed and I am still carrying very high. He said he would be SHOCKED if he came in the next 2 weeks (so we went 2 weeks between appointments instead of 1 already) and we are just going to plan one appointment at a time from here on out. As of now he isn't planning to do an ultrasound at my next appointment either unless he is concerned when we are there.

I am happy that he is measuring ahead and growing great and as long as the doctors right (and I know it's all just guessing really) we still have 6+ weeks to go. The longer we make it though the better it is for Hudson, so just keep growing little man!

And here is a picture from last week when I was 31 weeks 4 days. Roman wanted to be in the picture too (he looks blurry because he's waving).

Nursery - Phase 2

We are still slowing making progress on putting the nursery together. My mom and I have been making the bedding and drapes. We made the bed skirt last week (I forgot to take a picture of it) it's navy blue with a white pleat. Yesterday we put the bumpers together. I absolutely love the way the room is coming together. We'll probably try to do the window valance next week. It will match the bed skirt.
Here are a few pictures of the bumper pads we made for the crib.


Still a work in progress, but it is progressing!
