I had my last day of work yesterday, so it feels great to have that behind me and be able to just focus on one thing now. My co-workers and patients have been so sweet and supportive, which made the last couple of weeks more bearable. I'm going back part time in three months - can't believe I'll be gone that long! Lately, I'm feeling good, but definitely feeling tired in the afternoons. A lot of my not-so-fun pregnancy symptoms seem to have improved over the last couple weeks - less back pain, sleep has been better, etc. So nice!
We officially finished the nursery (including the name on the wall), but since we're keeping the name a secret till we meet baby I cut it out of the photos. I'm really happy with how the nursery turned out. It was such a fun project!
We made the prints on the wall above the crib out of some favorite (old and new) children's book covers. The bedding is a combo of a pottery barn kids sheet and an adjustable bedskirt that I found on etsy. My talented mama made the curtains; and most of the books, stuffed animals, and other little things on the bookshelf were gifts. Matt's mom gave us the big dog that sits on the side of the crib - I love him. :) Oh, and both the crib and the dresser were Matt's when he was a baby! I love that we get to use them! The rocker (a couple photos below) has also been in matt's family for generations.
The John Deere tractor on the bookshelf was Matt's when he was little.
the photo below might look a little funny because I erased his name and his initials in a couple places :)
And, of course a 39.5 week belly shot. I keep thinking maybe it'll be my last one, but not quite.
I think Matt's is bigger, don't you?
In other news, Matt is just about done with his third year of residency!! He had his last call of third year last night, so now he officially has no more primary call!! He'll be back-up call from now on, which means he'll get called a lot less when he's "on-call" and he'll only have to go in for complicated cases or when they have to take someone to the OR. Baby's timing is perfect. ;)
Here we are at the annual ENT resident graduation - always a fun time.
this was 38 wks.
So, now we wait for baby!! We are so excited to meet him and so thankful for a healthy pregnancy... and that it's almost over. :)
