So after all of the movements I've been feeling the last couple days, I am finally convinced that it is the baby moving. Last night and this morning especially, the baby has been feeling like a little kickboxer!
I had a great weekend with lots more thoughts on the baby nursery...
My parents have a rocking chair I can incorporate into the room!
We stopped by Stork's 1st Stop to look at some cribs. We have been debating if we need one with a dropside. I've heard they are nice to have, however the man working was very helpful and told us that he only recommends the dropside cribs for people under 5 foot 2 and with back problems. He said his wife is 5'1" and she has no problem with their crib without the dropside.
I will probably paint the walls of the nursery, but I won't decide on a color until I find out if we are having a boy or girl. Either way, I want to make it a gender neutral color, but still might be inspired by the gender.
I also have started cleaning out the closet in the nursery. It has been a storage space for all sorts of random stuff over the last few years. I bought some under-the-bed storage containers to hold some of the items. I will also have to clear off two of the three bookcases that are in the office and somehow incorporate them into our living room. The nursery room is just too small for three large bookcases and the crib and the rocking chair and whatever else we decide to put into the room.
Well those are my thoughts for now.
Unless anything new happens, you might not hear from me again until March 2nd when we have our 20 week ultrasound. Hopefully then we will have some news about the gender of the baby! So check back then for sure!
Have a great week!

The baby is moving!!! YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that things are still progressing. I can't believe that in a little over a week you'll find out what you are having. Is the time flying by for you too??
Oh my gosh Kari! The time is totally flying by! I am already almost half way there. We have to get together soon to talk about our journeys. Sounds like you are knee deep in the application paperwork with the adoption company. Wouldn't it be crazy, we could still have babies together! I've definitely noticed a baby boom lately, so I hope there's a baby brewing out there that will be yours someday really soon!
ReplyDeleteI would say no to the drop side crib just for purely safety reason. Many drop side cribs have been recalled very recently and in the past due to safety concerns and there are people lobbying to take them off the market.
