The Beginnings of a Nursery

Several sweet girls from Em's work pitched in on a PB Kids gift card for the baby so over the holidays we went by Pottery Barn Kids and picked out baby bedding. We hit PB Kids on the best day! Everything was way on sale so we got sheets, a quilt, a rug, and a bed skirt! The nursery is starting to take form! Here are a few pics of the pattern we chose from the PB Kids website:

Week 25 Check In

We had another check-up this week. Everything went really well. The baby is getting big! In fact, there are women in our prenatal group who are due two weeks earlier than us, and our baby is bigger (despite Em putting on less weight than them). Our midwife attributes this to Em’s healthy eating.

He is still very active. In fact, when the midwife was listening for his heart rate he kicked really big and moved her wand. Luckily, he’s only active during the day so sleep isn’t a problem.

Can’t wait to meet this little guy!
