So here I am at 35 weeks and 4 days
Thankfully this part of the pregnancy has been really relaxing. I have NO back pain, heartburn, or trouble sleeping! Yay! I get swollen feet mostly just after church and I still throw up occasionally when Claire decides to kick my stomache too hard but other than that I feel great! I'm still pretty flexible and free to move around for the most part. I can still touch my toes but rolling over in bed is a different story! Joe always makes fun of me when I roll over but I'd like to see him switch sides with a belly that feels like it's pinning you down! :) And the closer we get the due date, the more active Claire gets! It's fun to sit on the couch and just watch my stomache as she twists and turns. She's been getting the hiccups a lot lately too and it's pretty funny to watch!
Anyways, we finally got the nursery finished! It's perfect and I love it! My goal was to finish the nursery before the baby shower and I am so relieved that it is done! The biggest part was getting her pictures painted. So here are all the pictures I did for our little girl. They are from the books Angelina Ballerina. I loved reading them when I was little and I hope that she likes them too.
My personal favorite!
My mom helped me make some mates that would match the pictures, just to bring some color into the room. And she helped me paint the frames white. I love the way they turned out!
Here is the completed room. (this is the view from the doorway)
My sister, Kayleen, made the bow holder. It has already come in handy with all the bows we got from the shower!
My sister, Savannah, found this adorable bookshelf outside of her apartment and I love how perfectly it fits under the window. It has so much room for books and toys!
My friend katie made this for Claire. It's such a cute idea. In the empty space below her name is where her birthday date is supposed to go.

And her nursery would not be complete if it had not been for my mother-in-law! She sent the sweetest little bed set for her room and it matches everything else in there!
Some of the gifts from the baby shower! I can't wait to see her in some of these outfits!
We thought it was pretty funny that the "C" fits my belly!
So stay posted these next couple of weeks because I will soon be blogging about my little girls arrival! Yay! I can hardly wait!
