Baby Room

 Our baby room is finally shaping up! We've managed to get the crib set up as well as a nice large shelving unit to hold all of the baby items and stuff from Tim's old desk that was 'relocated'.

I have to admit that now that everything has started to come together I'm feeling a lot less nervous about the big day. Although, fear of the unknown still manages to keep me up at night from time to time.

During our last doctor/midwife appointment we were told that the baby has dropped way down into my pelvis and is 'ready to go'. She also said that there isn't much more room for the baby to grow inside my belly. So it seems like Baby McNelson could be making an early appearance just like everyone has been predicting!

Another outcome from our last appointment is that my blood pressure is starting to creep up a little so now I'll be visiting the doctor once a week instead of once every 2 weeks just to be on the safe side. On the upside it gives us more chances to hear our little baby's heartbeat!

Last night I had a bit of a worrisome moment and even ended up calling the on-call midwife for help. I was pretty sure I wasn't going into labor, but I had continuous contractions from 2am until about 5:30am when I finally decided to call. "Fortunately" it turned out to be a case of food poisoning and after I was able to expel everything from my stomach I almost instantly felt better and was able to get back to sleep. I made sure to stay awake long enough to feel the baby kick again though. Today everything feels tickiddy-boo :)
