27 weeks!

Hi everyone! Below is my latest picture at 27 weeks which is roughly the beginning of my 7th month and the last week of my 2nd trimester! Time is really going by fast right now and we are slowly preparing for her arrival. I can't believe she'll be here in about 13 weeks! I feel like she grows a little bit every day and is moving around constantly. She has developed some sleeping patterns and loves to kick me around 5:30 in the morning! Last night Ray was listening to my belly and she kicked him in the ear! We think she's going to be a Carolina soccer player!

In the background you can see some of the decorations on the wall of her soon-to be-nursery, but I am standing the place where the crib will go... Her room is a work in progress!

After much research on the various sleeping arrangements for newborns, I decided against using a bassinet or a cradle and purchased a Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet. Regular bassinets only last for 15 lbs and the co-sleeper lasts for up to 25 lbs, was sturdier, and it connects to the side of our bed. I've already set it up in our room so I can get used to having something next to me and so I don't run in to it in the middle of the night!



We decided to change her room theme to Winnie the Pooh! I love the new choice, and there are Winnie the Pooh items all over the place. Ray put up the border last weekend and I put up the wall decals! I hope she likes it!


I decided to place her name on wall across from her crib and painted letters. Eventually they will hang on the wall, but I haven't done that yet.
