At our last doctor’s appointment, it was noted that the baby was probably breech, since his heartbeat was up under my ribs. At today’s appointment, the doctor had no problem finding the heartbeat - it was everywhere! Upon examining my abdomen, she said it felt like the head was low and the back and butt go up my right side (so I am obviously lop-sided) and the legs and feet are on my left side. So - pretty close to this picture! (Click the image to see it bigger.)

The nursery has come a long way. It used to be a place where we put our dogs when we’d leave the house. Then the room was rented out for about six months to a friend from college. After that, the room became Andy’s workshop. Now it is definitely a baby’s room!

The dresser was mine when I was a baby and possibly my mom’s as well. It has had several coats of paint. Andy painted it white and we replaced the knobs to match the room. The twin bed is mine from when I first moved out of my parents’ house. The headboard was from my first twin bed as a child. We picked up the glider off of craigslist. The nightstand was something I had that Andy painted to match the dresser. The crib came from ebay and Andy fixed it up with some new bolts and some sanding and painting for cosmetic repair. It turned out great! The closet system and the changing table are also craigslist finds. All we need is a baby now!

The nursery is almost finished. Andy and I plan on painting a couple pieces of furniture white tonight. (We’ll see if that gets done…) Then there’s just laundry and putting everything away. Saturday we received a travel system from Grammy and Papa. It includes a three-wheeled sport stroller, an infant car seat that will attach to the stroller and a car base. Andy put it together and its sitting in our living room. It’s so exciting to think how soon we will actually be using it!

I had my first baby shower at Bob Evans in Mansfield last weekend. It was a really good time! I got some really nice stuff for the baby. Such cute clothes and lots of books! Here are some of the highlights.
