Week 33: More nursery pics!

Today I'm exactly 33 weeks pregnant. The baby is currently squirming around like crazy and warping my belly into many funky shapes. I'm starting to feel as though I'm running out of space... taking a deep breath can be difficult sometimes. I'll try to post a picture later this week.

Nic and I did some shopping this weekend. Saturday I bought some furniture for the nursery and decided on the drive home that I didn't want it anymore... pregnancy brain. We returned it today and bought a book case. I also picked up a few things at Pottery Barn Kids. I'm such a sucker for that store.

Anyway, here's a shot of the crib and book case from the door:

Here's a pic of a stuffed lamb I made at Build-A-Bear the day I found out I was pregnant (I made a matching one for Cooper too.) My mother-in-law made the yellow blanket:


I love this clock; when wound it plays Brahm's Lullabye:


Here's the change table on the side of the room opposite of the crib:


And finally here's where the gliding rocker will go when we buy it (hopefully next payday!):


I'm really happy with how the nursery is coming along. Nic's worked hard putting everything together, I just had to pick everything out... and it was a lot of fun!

As for me, I'm feeling pretty well for 33 weeks along. I've gained about 21-22 pounds, no problems with swelling, no heartburn, my blood pressure has been fine, and my OB says everything is looking good and that I should keep doing what I've been doing. The baby and my belly are definitely growing though. I did a pretty good job avoiding stretch marks until the past few weeks. They've been creeping up on me despite copious the amounts of lotion I've been slathering on myself. I know it's all a genetics game, but why give in without a fight?
