31 weeks and a doctor's appointment

I'm 31 weeks and growing bigger everyday! Everything I'm wearing these days is maternity except for a few select cardigans and a couple pairs of Mr. L's sweats that I lounge around in. I have never been a huge dress wearer but lately that seems to be what sounds comfortable when I'm getting ready for work in the morning. I had my OB appointment this week and everything looks great! I gained 2 more pounds since my last visit three weeks ago and the doctor told me I am a text book case (I take that as a compliment!) After going through some questions we got to listen to the heartbeat which sounded good and Dr. G told us that she thought Baby H was head down. This news was music to my ears and hopefully he stays that way and doesn't decide to flip around on me. I start going now every two weeks and really look forward to it each time.

The below photo is a special family cradle that has been passed around my family and where Baby H will sleep for the first few months of his life. Our tiny little bedroom is so crammed with furniture that butted up against my nightstand seems to be the only logical place to put it. Baby #1's (Dakota) bed is currently taking up a lot of room and we're trying to figure out another place to put it. I had the bright idea that if we could get her out of sleeping in her crate at night and trained to stay on a dog bed that we could move the crate to the basement and put the cradle where the crate was.
After two attempts at ordering the correct size this is what we ended up with...it's huge. The photo really doesn't do it justice as to how big it is. I don't know why I thought a bed would be smaller than her crate. Needless to say right now it's residing in the hallway but we've made good progress with her sleeping on it all night without getting up. After another week or two we'll have to re-evaluate how we want to shift everything around.
And here sits our lonely crib mattress...waiting for a crib to be put in to. Mr. L's wonderful parents surprised us with it and as you can see our nursery furniture still has not arrived. I called to check on it today and it had just come in on the truck but they have to wait for it to be inspected, then for the delivery service to come pick it up and then they will call us to make an appointment for delivery and set-up. So that means it will be another week and that will make it over 10 weeks from when we ordered it. You'd think that a children's furniture store would know better than to tell an anxious pregnant lady that her son's furniture should arrive in 6-10 weeks. Every week of waiting after the 6 has been torture...ha! Oh well, I guess this whole pregnancy has been a lesson in patience.
Hopefully I'll get to show you a picture of the funiture soon! Until next week....
