the nursery

We have finally completed putting the nursery together and hopefully everything is in place ready for baby's arrival.  Here is a before and after photo:

I am quite pleased with the results and think we used the space pretty well. The chair in the corner is the EKTORP Armchair from ikea.  The bookshelf in the left is also from ikea. Most of the rest of the furniture and decorations are from Mamas & Papas or from various places online. 

The swinging small crib next to the large crib in the centre will be moved into our bedroom and baby will sleep in this next to our bed for the first few months before moving into his big crib. 

The dresser in the back wall of the room holds all of baby's clothes and will also be the area where I change him. 

I feel very relaxed when I go into the nursery so I really hope it's a nice and relaxing environment for the baby to feed, play and sleep. 

thirty-eight weeks pregnant

Pregnancy day 266...14 days to go!

Baby is now 19.75 inches long and weighs about 6.8 pounds. 

This weekend I have been on holiday in Cornwall for my brother-in-law's wedding. It was so incredibly beautiful and the wedding was something really special. I was so happy to be able to make the journey there (it is about 400 miles away from home). Luckily the baby behaved and we had no troubles at all! I even managed to walk around on some coastal rocks and do some exploring of the Cornish coastline. 

I wasn't able to do a proper bump pic this week, so have included the above photo taken with the hubby when I turned 38 weeks pregnant on Monday, 25th June. This was taken at St Michael's Mount not far from the where we were staying. My bump is a little hidden under my rain jacket, but you can still see it and it's still very large!

As most of the past few days have been spent in Cornwall, there isn't much else to update specifically about the pregnancy now so I will post a few photos of my holiday below and will be sure to update more about the pregnancy over the coming days.
