Feathers in Our Nest

If you’re curious about last week’s photo, click here. Sorry this week’s photo is so dark.

Anyway, things are going well with our pregnancy, and things are coming together for our nursery! If you missed my most recent post about our nursery progress, click here. We picked up our crib (a gift from Tad’s parents) this week and we also got a changing table and a glider rocker/ottoman (gifts from my parents)! We feel so blessed. Here’s a picture of me trying out the new rocker. Isn’t it pretty? (And the cat found a way to sneak into this picture…)Baby girl is getting bigger! I can tell from the way her kicks and punches are getting harder! I love feeling every one of her adorable little movements. I can really tell now where she is laying (usually on the left side), and I can often tell where specific body parts are (elbow, foot, etc.).

I’ve felt a little out of breath recently, but I read this is because my lungs are compressed by our baby and so they don’t fill up as much with each breath as they normally do. I sometimes have a little back pain and I often feel tired, but that’s to be expected. Otherwise, I’m really feeling great!

I’ve been working on a hospital bag packing list… any essentials I might have missed?

Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!
