Baby Update and Room Update

I had my first weekly appointment today. The doctor said everything looked good. I have not gained any weight since my last appointment two weeks ago. The baby (belly) measurement was 38cm (two weeks ago it was 36cm). This means the baby has grown, but I have actually lost weight. Anyway, my cervix is soft, but not effaced and I have not really dilated (maybe a fingertip he said). The head was down and I have a posterior cervix. What does that mean?

Anyway, I will probably make it till mid March for sure. I am going to go ahead and pack my hospital bag (and Hannah's grandma bag) just to be on the safe side. Hannah was early and I want to be prepared in case Trey comes sooner than the doctor thinks he will. I am getting excited about him being here.

I have completed Hannah's new big girl room (with the exception of wall decor) and Trey's room is finished except for a few items I ordered to complete the look. Hopefully they will be here before he does! Here is a picture of Hannah's room and her new big girl bed.

Hannah playing with her dress up toys. There isn't as much room in there as before, but she still loves to play. Yesterday we had to put a few of her toys away for a couple of days because she refused to help pick them up. She will get them back probably by Wednesday, but we have to teach her to take responsibility for picking up after herself. So far it has been working and she doesn't hesitate now to pick up her room!

The view from the closet/window area.

The view from the door. We had to put her pretty toy chest that her Papaw made for her in the closet so there would be more room to play. It actually worked out really well. Now not all of her toys are out in the open. It looks less cluttered this way too! One last thing I still have to do is wall decor and get some more cheap pillows for her bed. It came with the shams and pillow cases, but we only had one pillow for her. So I think I might make a trip to Dollar General and get some cheap pillows so her bedding will look more complete. I am pleased with the way it looks now and more importantly Hannah loves it!

Here is a picture of her actual bed and night stand. We decided to get a full so she will be more comfortable as she grows into it and when we have company they will have a place to sleep other than the air mattress on the floor.

Loving the bedspread you chose for her! So bright and fun. Actually something that can carry her through many years. Glad you got a good report at the doctor. I am sure waiting is hard. Trey is probably waiting on the rest of the things for his room to arrive before he makes his appearance. ;)
