Nursery Transformation (PART 2)!!!!!

Baby's nursery is officially DONE!!!!!!!!!  If you missed it, here's my first post on the nursery's transformation!
Sorry for the bad photo quality. I took the photos on my Iphone and I'm so sore/tired these days that I'm not going to bother making them nicer LOL.  Click on them for a better view!!!  I'm VERY happy with how the entire room turned out!  Kind of wish we went ahead with the striped walls cuz our ceiling is so high the room looks half bare in photos.  But I LOVE the chandelier Ed picked out and all our furniture!  We decided not to get a glider/rocker because really our living room/couch is just right outside the room and I much rather sit there to feed her (if we had a house where all the rooms were upstairs we totally would have got one).  I love the shaggy little rug I found too!! We might get something to put up above the wall where the crib is but maybe later on.  It'd be some sort of wall decal because I would never hang anything over the crib cuz I'd be scared things would fall off and go into the crib at night.  The wall of white frames was super cheap and easy to do! I used scrapbook paper to fill in most of the frames for now until we have photos of her! Oh, and we actually still need to get a garbage can (probably a white hamper-type) too...but I'm waiting for our cloth diaper stuff to arrive later this week so I can figure out where to put those things!  I plan on adding more frames later on when I find different white ones...it's so hard to find nice white frames under $10!!
The photos are ordered to give you a 360 view of the room...








Here are some detail shots of the nursery from our maternity shoot. The little shelf below the picture frames was not purchased yet at the time so I've moved some stuff around since!

38th Week Update and Belly Pic!!

Symptoms: So halfway through week 37 I woke up one morning and BAM...it hurt to walk.  My pelvis was totally sore and it hurt to move.  I'm totally just sucking it up now (it hurts more and more every day) and am hoping that baby will just come soon.  Heartburn and Braxton Hicks has stepped up a notch again (who knew it could?!!) so I'm up a lot at night because I'm so uncomfortable.  I'm just really grateful that I don't have work anymore! 
Mood: I'm just anticipating her arrival now! ANY DAY!
Cravings: Not much....just hungrier than ever!!!!
Bump Measurement: 39.5 inches gained half an inch!!
Weight: 120 lbs!!!!!!!! Gained 2 lbs!! 
38 weeks!!!
Notice how my legs are not together? It hurts to stand!!
I'm realllllly curious now to see what I'll look like post baby!! I'll make sure to take a
photo of my non-belly after baby is here and compare it to the pre-baby pic!

Maternity Photos!!!!

We had our maternity photos done on April 7th and April 14th! 

These ones were taken in Fort Langley, BC on the 7th!!!  They were taken by my friend Vivian who offered us a free maternity shoot as our baby shower gift! I didn't realize how ROUND and BIG I was until I saw these photos!!!! I really do look like I stuffed a basketball under my shirt!!! Also, I'm very pleased to disclose that all 3 of my tops from this photo shoot are NOT maternity tops and are actually XXS tops I owned before!! They must have been pretty loose on me back then!!!










And these ones were taken in baby's nursery on the 14th!!!  Melissa who is a friend of a friend offered us a free shoot as well!!!  I'll do another final post on her nursery once we get all the photos!!! This top is ALSO a non-maternity top in XXS!! LOL!!!!
