Nursery pictures (almost done)

-
I'm not proud to admit that I had a serious meltdown last night. I don't know what caused it. I just know that I couldn't get Avery's new blinds up and it freaked me out. I kept harping on the idea that Meg was going to go into labor and that I wouldn't have time to finish Avery's room. I then started crying about anything and everything.

I am happy to announce that the blinds have been hung. I still need to hang the valance, but the crisis has been averted. More importantly, Avery is still snug in Meg's belly. So yea, all is well with the world again.

I promised you that I would post pictures of the nursery when it was officially done. Meg still needs to decorate and put some finishing touches on it, but overall, we're just about there.

We still need to hang maternity portraits (we're taking them this Saturday) and position Avery's life size teddy bear. The portraits will hang on both sides of the window and the bear will sit to the right of Avery's crib. (The bear is currently sitting in my trunk while the dogs adjust to life in the nursery...Heineken will undoubtedly try to rip the bear apart or hump it, so we're just trying to delay the inevitable!)

Enjoy the pictures...I really don't think they do the room justice.

    Wow, I love your nursery, so pretty! Did someone make the quilt or where did you get it? It's beautiful!
    Just found your blog last night and kept reading and reading until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore!:) We'll be TTC in July, I can't wait!
    Great job on Avery's room!

      First off, congratulations!!! That's so exciting that you will be starting the process in the next couple of months! (Hopefully you'll find the blog helpful...I tried to make it so that people knew what to expect because we didn't-especially in the beginning!)

      My mom made the quilt and the pillow (the image on the pillow was made my best friend...she also used it on our baby shower invitation...it says A is for Avery)

      I don't think the pictures really show off the quilt, but you can get an idea. We absolutely love it.

      Mom is working on some curtains to finish everything off.

      All we need now is little Avery (hopefully not for a few more weeks!)

    You sound like you're having normal Mom to Be anxiety! I think I went into panic mode around 36W too-thinking he would come any second.. And he came at 41.2 weeks :)
    *Try* not to stress about the nursery too much. Again, I too NEEDED it done before he came... 6.5 months later, it's another play room that has yet to be slept in (except by the cats).
    Bottom line- Avery is going to have her own agenda and all your plans will change. I'm so excited for you both... Being a mom is amazing!

      It's nice to know that I'm not alone. I can't believe you were 41.2 weeks! Crazy! We can't wait!

    Don't feel bad about the meltdown--that seems to be happening more at our house, too! I love the nursery--especially the shelves by the closet!

    Just stopped by to take a peek at the nursery and read the progress report. :-)

    Great job! I love how the colors of the peacock tie into the quilt! CUTE!

      Thanks! My brother's girlfriend painted the peacock, lion, and hippo!

      They definitely pull everything together!

I know it's been a few days since I last blogged, so I just wanted to give you an update... Meg and I have been busy getting ready for the new school year (she came to school with my mom and I and organized my classroom library!!) She's still feeling nauseous and doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. She claims that it's all worth it, so that's a good sign! Friday is our next ultrasound appointment...I think we're supposed to hear the heartbeat, so that's exciting! With only 2-4 weeks left at RMA we're running out of time to find an obgyn. This afternoon I spoke with a receptionist from a doctor's office affiliated with a brand new hospital opening in November. It's only 17 minutes from our house, so it's perfect AND it's located in NJ, so my name can go on the birth certificate at the time of the birth. BONUS! The receptionist was really nice. She told me that there are 6 doctors and 4 midwives in the practice and that they w...

FINALLY!!! It was only a matter of time before we heard some good news... Today, Meg had her 41 week appointment. They took us back to exam room 3...hooked her up to the monitors for a nonstress test. Avery was very active and looked great. Meg even had 3 minor contractions. Unfortunately Meg showed no progress in terms of dilation. Are you ready for the good news??? The doctor said, "It's time." We are scheduled to go to the hospital tonight at 6. There, we will be greeted by one of our favorite doctors. She will give Meg Cervidil to help ripen her cervix (and will hopefully calm Meg's nerves...she's good like that!) Tomorrow morning another doc will come in to check Meg's progress. She will most likely break Meg's water and administer Pitocin. Avery will hopefully be born on May 3rd and follow in the footsteps of her family (Meg-November 3, Uncle Eddie-October 3rd, Grandpop-September 3rd, Cousin Ryleigh-January 3rd) As our dogs play on the fl...

One Week Later...

It has been 7 days since the birth of our beautiful little girl and I've already learned so much...Here are the highlights so far... 1. I've learned how to change a wet diaper. 2. Keeping with number 1, I've learned that if I don't change Avery's diaper fast enough or if I try to change her before she fully wakes up Avery will pee on me! (definitely not just a boy thing!) 3. I've learned how to change a poopy diaper. 4. Keeping with number 3, I've learned that Avery can (and will) projectile poop if I don't change her diaper fast enough (happened twice so far!) 5. I've learned how to swaddle Avery (Meg is still much better at this than I am!) 6. I've learned how to make a bottle. 7. I've learned how to burp Avery..I'm kind of an expert! 8. I've learned how to tell when Avery is hungry (she does this weird thing with her tongue...Meg calls it rooting...I call it "Barney Crouch-ing"...after the guy in Harry Pot...
