This past week, we got the nursery ALMOST completely finished!! All we are missing at this point is a lamp, our glider (which we are getting for a shower gift), a laundry hamper, and the monkey vinyl we ordered about 2 weeks ago, then a couple little decorating things we wanna add throughout.. We absolutely LOVE this room, and find ourselves going in there just to look around. J We can’t wait to bring Brax home to his own room! Even though he won’t be sleeping in there for a while, we are sure he will still love it! LOL.. At this point we are feeling really good about where we are.. We feel REALLY prepared for this little peanut to make his appearance! We just want him to stay right where he’s at and finish growing big and strong for the next 97 days! J
This week Brax is weighing in at a full 2 pounds, and is 9+ inches from the top of his head, to his little bum! J Brax will start to open his eyes this week as well!! I told Dev I am SO excited to see if we can tell if his eyes are open at our ultrasound next week! J I’m sure they will be closed, or we won’t be able to tell yet, but hey, I can dream! J Brax’s eyes still don’t have much pigmentation, so it’s too early to start guessing what color eyes he will have. Even when he is born, his eyes may not be the permanent shade. They might change up till he is 6 months old.. Since both me, and his daddy have green eyes, we think it’s a safe bet Brax will too! J Can’t wait to see his adorable face! This week, Brax’s brain wave activity is kicking in, meaning, he can not only hear noises now, but he can also respond! I’ve noticed this to be true! I will sing in the mornings in the car on my way to work, and he will start movin all around! J Its so cute!
Next week we have another ultrasound, and my glucose test.. Here’s to hoping we get good news from BOTH! J Our fingers are definitely crossed my placenta has started moving up! Hopefully this week goes by really fast!! J
YAY for another week!! Another week closer to meeting Brax, another week closer to spring, AND summer! J
