Baby Gallagher's Nursery

So we are just about done with Baby Girl's Nursery. There are a few little things to finish, but we are mostly done. I am going to put her name on the wall too, but I haven't ordered that yet and we are still staying "mum" about her name until she arrives.

For the most part I am happy with her room. But, I had a really hard time finding little girl things that were very vibrant in color. Most things are very soft and pastel and I am more of a POP of color person. I was the same way as a little girl. I always liked things a bit more on the "wild" side. We are hoping to move soon too with in the next year so we didn't want to paint her room. So I think that is a big part of it too. So hopefully in our next house I can put more of my/her personal stamp or style on the room a bit more.

36.5 Weeks baby is the size of a Honeydew

36 weeks means I am officially 9 months pregnant!!! 37 weeks is considered full term so just a few more days and baby will be full term. At times it seems like it went by fast, but mostly it seems like a VERY long time. I am sure a lot of my feeling this way has been due to the complications we have had and overall just been sick and unwell the entire pregnancy with mostly no energy. I have been telling Bryan a lot lately that I can't wait to get back to "my old self." Yes, I know I will never be my "old self" because once you are a mother things will change forever. But, I was meaning in more of the sense of energy, happy-go-lucky and just generally feeling well. Plus, I am dying to work out and RUN! I miss running so much. Just me against myself seeing how far that I can push myself. This was something that really became apart of my life and I am really hoping to find my grove again once I am cleared.

Also, lately my patience is at an all time low for our little angel to get here. Not just because I am done with being pregnant which is so true, LOL.  But, more so because I CAN'T wait to met our little girl. I just really want to hold her in my arms and snuggle and shower her with love. I feel like a little kid on Christmas where is feels like it is taking Santa and Christmas morning forever to finally arrive.

 

For the past week I was having happy and positive labor thoughts that she would be coming really soon and was hopeful for this week, but yeah not so much. Also, I was secretly hoping and very wishful that she would arrive on my grandmother's birthday. I just thought that would be really cool! However, I know babies come on their own time, but now I feel like she is never coming out, LOL. I am sure every mother to be feels this way too.
