Nursery - 30 Weeks

Friday marked 30 weeks! Which means we now are less than 10 weeks away from holding Baby P! I can not believe how quickly time is going.

This weekend we prepped the house for Baby. Initially I didn't think we were going to put a room together. I figured the baby would be sleeping in our room for the first three months and depending on how good of a sleeper the baby was, He/She may just share a room with Eliza. But of course as time ticked away I felt really strongly about having a space for Baby P. So I guess nesting does kick in for Intended Parents!

This weekend I put together a dresser and the crib, moved the glider into the room and picked up some formula and diapers. I also ordered a bed frame (the room is also our guest room) and new area rug. Those should arrive in the next couple weeks and then I'll have to decide on any prints or decor I want in the room.

I've already found myself stopping by the room every time I'm upstairs. Eliza has also already climbed into the crib twice "to sleep" and asked if she could sleep in the room and said she misses "her baby brother/sister so bad". I tell her we will meet them soon. I just feel so lucky and happy and the room gives me some peace. So countdown is on! Less than 10 weeks to go!

29 Weeks

29 Weeks! Where has the time gone?! I can not believe we have potentially less than 11 weeks left or about 73 days!

Originally I didn't think we were going to set up a nursery. I had planned on waiting until the baby was here and see if it was a boy or girl and if was a girl, put the crib in Eliza's room. But now I'm thinking I want a space that is the baby's. So I have been purging and reorganizing the guest bedroom. The guest bed will remain in there but I'm hoping to add some updates to the room, bring in the glider, set up the crib and provide a quiet space for baby.

Carmelo and I have also started to get more serious about trying to figure out names. I think we've landed on a boy's name, but have been struggling with a girl's name. We have a list but nothing that has really given us that "YES!" moment.

So much to do! And we are so excited!

29 Week Bump!
