Nursery

Here are some pictures of Kinley's nursery! :) I still need to get a rug, but I can't find a light pink, plain rug that isn't like $400.00. Sooo, for now, there is no rug! Enjoy the other pictures, though!

 

One more thing, since I have the 2-vessel umbilical cord, my Dr. doesn't like to go past 39 weeks. That being said, Tuesday at my appointment, we will be picking an induction date. She has mentioned October 8th, which is a Monday, but Justin is having to take a week off from work. If we had her on Monday or Tuesday, we wouldn't be home until Wednesday or Thursday, so Justin would only get to be home with us for like 3 or 4 days before going back to work. We are going to ask if we can  be induced Friday or Saturday of this week so that we will get home on Sunday or Monday. That way, Justin could be home for almost an entire week with us before going back to work! I will keep you posted as to when she will be arriving, but sometime within the next week! :)

Delayed Posting! :)

Well, hello.. Sorry it's been since.. uhmm... March since I've updated anything on here, but I do have to say I am a terrible blogger. I'm going to work on it a little more since the baby will be here very very soon! :)

A lot has changed since March with us and I'll just give a brief overview. We found out at 16 weeks that we are having a baby girl! :) This momma was SO excited! I actually told the ultrasound tech that if it was a boy, I was going to cry, but that I would get over it and love the baby just the same! lol
The next event was at 20 weeks. We had out anatomical ultrasound where they check for everything that could possibly be wrong basically. Well, the only thing they found was the I have a 2-vessel umbilical cord. If you look online there is a lot of information about what all this can do.

Thankfully, nothing that could be wrong because of this is wrong with our baby! :) God is good and has taught me so much throughout this pregnancy. That was one of the times in my life where I can say I had nothing left of me and gave everything to God. I'm pretty sure that was the goal of that entire scare. I had been depending on myself way too much and I basically had left God completely out of the equation. He definitely knows how to put you back in your place when he wants to!

The bonus of having a 2-vessel cord is that we get to see ultrasounds twice a week of the baby! I think I have had about 13 ultrasounds thus far and I am at 36 1/2 weeks! I will post a few of the pictures we've gotten, but at this point, we really aren't getting anymore pictures because the baby's head is so low! For the past 3 weeks, she has gotten further and further down and we can't get anymore pictures of her beautiful face! :) Another thing that the 2-vessel cord can affect is birth weight, but our baby definitely isn't having a problem gaining weight. At 36 weeks, she was approximately weighing 7 1/2 lbs already. & Yes, if you ask me, she can come out ANY TIME!

One of the coolest things I've seen/felt since I've been pregnant was her actually practicing breathing the other night. I was laying back on the couch and looked down at my stomach because she was really really arching her back up. I could actually see her taking practice breaths. It was very exciting! The only reason I knew that's what I was seeing is because when I go twice a week for ultrasounds, they have to check and make sure she is practicing breathing!

I can't wait and I will hopefully take some pictures of the nursery tonight and post them tomorrow, but for now, I'll post some of the more recent ultrasound pictures and how far along each of them were! :)

This picture was when we first found out that she was a she! :)

I love this one because it's just her cute little baby toes!

This was before she started getting her chubby cuteness! She was still a little boney thing!

This was the most recent one the ultrasound tech put on our disc that we take with us when we go! I am so in love with this little girl already!
