31 week update and Sydney's Room - PIP heavy

Almost 30 weeks!

31 weeks 1 day

How far along? 31 weeks 6 days

Weight gain/loss: Still 10-11lbs

Feeling: Not horrible, I've been getting more BH contractions at night, I try to drink 10+ cups of water a day and that seems to help keep them away. 

Maternity clothes?: Same, same, same.

Sleep: Not AS bad, but not great. I've been so tired that I'm usually able to pass out and not wake up until I have to pee, but then my hips hurt so so bad and I limp to the bathroom.

Food cravings: Pizza and french fries

Movement?: Still a good amount, but she's obviously running out of room, she's been hanging out in my ribs more and more. She more flops than kicks anymore, it feels like she's just in there tossing and turning. 

What I miss?: Not having to worry about getting heartburn, I miss not being able to just eat a piece of pizza or chocolate cake without popping several tums afterwards. 

Best moment this week: I washed and folded and went through all her clothes to figure out what more I need. It was so fun sitting on the rug in her room and folding all those little tiny pink ruffley things. I only need 2 more sleepers and 3 pairs of pants that aren't pink. I even got her a Christmas dress in hopes she'll actually be here!

What I'm looking forward to: My apt tomorrow to see how my weight is, according to our scale, I'm up 1lb since my last appt, but I hate that scale. 

Milestones: It's not really a milestone, but I'm almost 32 weeks and that is CRAZY.

Now, Here's her room! I think I'm going to do a little shelf above the crib, next to the window that has her name on it, but other than that, it's done. Oh, and we're still waiting on the mattress that was supposed to be here Friday, and then Saturday, and still isn't here :-/

 This is from the door looking across the room

Again, but a different angle

The dresser we sanded and restained that we'll use as a changing table. Then the bookshelf was an old dresser that we took the drawers out and painted white. Also, I made the door organizer (ALL BY MYSELF) and the changing pad cover, as well as the backs of the shelf. 

Again

The rocker is an antique, and yes, the fabric is a little dirty, but I love it. The little stand still needs new holes drilled for a drawer pull that matches the ones on the dresser and the lamp is circa 1950's from my parent's farm landlady. The footrest I made (ALL BY MYSELF) and only cost $14! Then the frames on the wall have the poem that this blog is named after "Mother's Song: A Traditional Lullaby" - look it up for words. 

Again

And that whole side of the room

I'm pretty excited with how it turned out, and I'm very proud of how much I did myself. All the linens (curtains, comforter, crib skirt, sheet, changing pad cover, door organizer, and footrest) I sewed myself and I made the little mobile above the crib. Not to mention refinishing the dresser, repurposing the bookshelf and painting the side table. So anyway, that's the room!
