Weekend Update- Nursery Addition

Quick update from the Doctors on Friday. Baby is still frank breech, his body is in more of a V shape. The midwife we met with said that his position did get a little better and my fluid levels went from a 9 last time to a 13 this time (I'll take some credit for this as I was drinking a ton of water this week). She recommended we try the external cephalic version. We are waiting for the scheduling coordinator to call us back, but we're going to try for that Friday/monday. It needs to be done around 37 weeks so you are full term, but the baby isn't that big. I am a bit nervous about how the pain will be and I haven't yet watched a youtube on it (I'm sure David has) but we have watched c-sections so I am willing to try it for a chance that he will flip on over.

 David also came up with a contraption to make it more comfortable to sit with my hips above my head. He accidentally broke the office chair this weekend so he modified it so I could use it.

 It is quite funny, but does make it easier to get high enough. You can get on low and then press the lever and you get raised up.

We took our infant CPR class friday and learned a lot. We also got to take our maternity photos on Saturday! After all the rain, there was finally a clearing and the weather couldn't have been better. It wasn't overly sunny so we didn't have squinty eye syndrome. I can't wait to get them back, I hope they turn out.

We (David) also started a project for Max's nursery. We decided we wanted to create a little forest scene from the book Where the Wild Things Are. We had someone on etsy try to do this for us, but the end drawing wasn't what we were expecting and the price kept rising. We decided to order our own wall vinyl and do it our selves. Darrin and Stacey do have a cricut that will cut 1ft x 2ft, but he did the trees without the machine. We first made a puzzle with a scene from the book by tiling it together and getting the tree shapes. The trees were too skinny so we just eye balled it and made them thicker.

We put them up last night and are very pleased with how they look in there.

He will now make the files for the leaves (we hope to get a nice big canopy look) and print that this weekend.

I made a freezer meal (I'll post recipes soon), started the nurse goody bags and got hospital PJ's. Our to do list is going well and I am almost finished getting ready.

I'm ready to go to the hospital (nursing cami, pj pants and robe from mix and match Target)
