Lincoln's Room and SUNDAY!

Nathan and I have finally finished Lincoln's room! Well there are still a few things I want to do, but they are not necessary to keeping Lincoln alive and healthy. I still want to buy a mobile, get a few more wall decorations and I still have to make the sign with Lincoln's name on it. I was planning on making the sign before he came, but honestly I'm not sure how I want to go about making it anymore. I'm just going to wait on that one. Some of the decorations Nathan made, and that makes it even more special to have them in his room. I will try to put the pictures in order so you can get a better idea of what the room looks like when you walk into it.

This is what you see when you walk into his room.

When you look to the left from standing in the door way.

When you look to the right from the door way.

His crib is directly across from the changing table.
It is also directly to your right when you walk into the room.

 I also am including some close ups of the decor:

Nathan actually completely re-purposed these bookshelves.
He white washed them and then added all the stained blue wood to the back.

Nathan also made the clothes hook.
I bought some cheap clothes hooks from Hobby Lobby and Nate mounted them.

Above the bed to the left.

The full size bed in his room.
The monkey is not nautical but he was my sister Nicole's and she gave him to Lincoln.
He's also wearing a red striped shirt so it looks pretty good.

Nathan cleaned up and repaired the bassinet!
It looks so good and really looks brand new.

I had my weekly appointment today and I'm disappointed to say I have put on 5 pounds since my last appointment two weeks ago! Yikes! My doctor told me its mostly water weight, so it should go away after I have Lincoln. Oh I hope so. I'm still under the recommended 25-35 pounds so its really not that big of deal and it just means I will have to work harder after he comes. I think it bothers me more than anybody else and honestly I don't think most people even care! Ha! Lincoln looks good and as of now my doctor doesn't think he will be a large baby but average size, HALLELUJAH!  He said that can change in the next two weeks though, so not to put too much emphasis on it. Next week and the week after we will really be able to get an idea, but at this point its just a waiting game. I'm impatient but I know the longer he stays in the better it is for him up to 40 weeks.

This weekend though, is the big AFC and NFC championship games and the Niners and Ravens are both playing!!! I am so looking forward to Sunday that I am even dreaming about it! See, all the way back in October I had predicted that the Niners and Ravens would both be going to the Super Bowl and with my luck I'll go into labor that day. Well, each week its super weird that this vision keeps getting closer. Nathan and I would be so excited! Plus, who wants a stupid Falcons and Patriots superbowl?? Come on, nobody does except Falcons and Patriots fans and if you choose to follow the Patriots franchise I hate you for that.  I'll be taking pictures of us celebrating or crying after Sunday so look for that.

I'm going to close this blog talking a bit of shit for the upcoming weekend. All I have to say is:

RAY LEWIS IS COMING FOR YOUR ASS TOM BRADY and BILL BELICHICK!

Suck on this Patriots!
