The Nursery

I hope to have the nursery finished by the time that Hudson comes along. It is progressing slowly, but we will get there eventually.

Last weekend my mom and I hung letters above his crib and I think it only took us about 3 hours and many pencil marks on the wall before we got them right. They turned out really cute though. I am glad that my mom has a lot more patience than I do these days or else we would have never gotten these up at all.

This is a picture of the crib and the bedding. It is hard to see from this picture, but we choose a blue and cream toile pattern from a shop in St. Simons and had them make the bedding. It turned out really cute.

This is the changing station/ dresser that matches the crib. We went with cream furniture that is a little bit distressed looking. We are pleased with how it all turned out, but still have some things left to do in that room. Our next project is the window. We are having a roman shade made to block out the light, and are trying to bring in another pattern that will compliment the room (if we can ever decide on one that we like) Decorating a nursery is fun, but can add up quickly.

We hope that this room turns out to be one in which Hudson has MANY sweet dreams in!

Bedrest Update

I have been going to the OB weekly at this point since I was put on bedrest to monitor my contractions and my cervix. Within the last month of weekly visits, my condition has pretty much stayed the same. I am taking two medications which are doing a good job at stopping the contractions but have been hard on my system (side effects are not fun)

Dr. Fontana said that I just needed to keep doing what I have been doing this past month and I should be ok. I told him that being at home is gettting a little challenging these days and that I am trying not to get too stur crazy.

For all of you that wanted a belly picture, here you go. This is what my belly looks like at 31 weeks, and it is scary to think that it is only going to get bigger.

We were told that our furniture will be shipped out at the end of this week, and last weekend Jeremy removed the furniture that was previously in the baby's room, so it is now ready for baby furniture. We are still waiting on the bedding, and some minor other things for the room, but hope fully we can get that done in the next month, or at least that is our plan.

We had our first class last night on baby basics and things to expect. I could have done without the epideral explanation. The less I know about needles the better. Overall though the class was very informative and a good help at getting us ready for things to come.
