On Sunday, I hit 27 weeks. It doesn't sound like I'm too far along, but when I realize I only have 13 weeks left...the reality of how soon Beckett will be here starts to hit me. Luckily we do not have much to do to prepare for his arrival. I just need to wash Gray's 0-3 month clothes I packed away, make a few updates to the nursery (name and crib mattress height) and buy diapers in his size. Our biggest project is getting Gray ready for his big boy room!
Before we left for Belize, Shane built Gray the bed that will go in his room. It's a full size so we could utilize mattresses we already had, and it also allows us room to sleep if we have to spend a night with him while he's adjusting to his new room or sick. The bed is very low to the ground so he won't have too far to fall if he does roll off. This past Friday we made a trip to Ikea to buy his dresser, a bedside table, shelves to hold his books for a reading corner, curtains and another storage unit to go upstairs in the game room to house his toys. Then Sunday we went to Pottery Barn Kids to buy his chair for the reading corner. It was good timing because they were having a one day sale on those chairs! This weekend I plan to go buy the rest of the items we need to finish putting his room together so my mom can help me next week while she's in town. I have a cute idea for some shadow boxes on his walls and a fun way to display his name, but I will hold off on disclosing those until I see how well they turn out. :)
My next appointment is on Tuesday morning and I have the wonderful glucose test to see if I have gestational diabetes. I passed with flying colors last year so here's hoping I do well again!
