Jason and I have been so excited to get the baby nursery all set up. We wanted to wait until after both of the baby showers, but we couldn’t! We went ahead and ordered all of the crib bedding and some matching decor. Then we realized that we really needed the crib and crib mattress for the bedding to go on, so we bought those too! We set the crib up yesterday and not only is it gorgeous, but it was a snap! It definitely wasn’t as much of an IQ test as I think the car seat might turn out to be. The only weird thing about the crib was a tag on the side reading, “The minimum age of the intended user shall not be less than 15 months.” Does that mean we can’t put her in it until she is over a year old? I guess it’s a good thing we planned on getting a bassinet.

We won’t get the crib bedding and decor until Thursday, but even just having the crib makes everything more real. I can’t believe we’re so close!

I went in last week for my monthly ultrasound. Mireya is right on track with her growth. She is weighing in at 3 pounds 6 ounces! One of the first things out of the ultrasound tech’s mouth was, “She’s right in position, smashing your bladder.” Tell me about it! Who knew a little 3 pound baby could have such a heavy head…

I was able to bring Nana to the ultrasound this time. We not only got to see little Mireya in 2D, but in 3D also! The ultrasound tech took lots of photos of her little face in 3D. I think she may have my nose and Jason’s chin, but we’ll have to see. I’ve already posted all the ultrasound photos, they’re amazing!

She still refuses to stay still. She doesn’t seem to like all the poking and prodding. At one point she wouldn’t move her hand away from her face, so the ultrasound tech jiggled my belly all over to get her to change positions. It worked and thankfully we were able to get some great photos!

I start my NST’s at 32 weeks. I’m really grateful for those, because it will provide me with peace of mind once a week from now until delivery. I’m still having occasional contractions and some days I can’t even get up and walk around without triggering one. I know that’s one of the things they monitor. I have no intention of having this baby too early. You hear that baby girl, you need to hang out in there for at least another month or so! It won’t be too much longer before we meet!
