Nursery Is Almost Complete!

Here are some updated pictures of Casa de Baby Carney!

And the Head is....

down? So the doctor seems to think he may have felt a head...where it's supposed to be...hmmm! Is that a butt in my ribs instead of a head? Maybe so! We'll find out next week if she has indeed made the flip. He's gotten my hopes up now...sort of. I've come to terms with the idea of a C-Section. My new word of the month might soon be epidural!

Nursery is almost finished. We have a few odds and ends to hang and put away but it's very cute. We don't have a mattress for the crib yet. Babies R Us does not have any mattresses at the moment. That's the thing about this store. They seem to have everything except things you would need for a baby! My registry is in shambles because they discontinue things like it's their job! Vent over!

Anyway, speaking of baby girls, one of my favorites just turned 8 on Sunday! I can't believe it! Abbey is 8. Happy Birthday Abbey Lou!

Holy Huge Head in my Ribs!

34 weeks today and not much to write home about. My Dr. appointment was absolutely forgettable. He did seem very unhappy with the breech princess. He said he'll give it 2 more weeks and then we get to pick her birthday!

Nursery is finally painted pretty and pink! It's very cute. We made a good choice.

I'm still not sleeping well and no sleep + 16 five year olds = terrifying at 7:30 in the morning.

I have to share that I made my craziest pregnancy purchase thus far...I have been craving ice and peppermint for some odd reason. So I'm in BJ's buying in bulk and I run across a bag of 500...yes 500 peppermint candies. The only logical thing to do at the time is to indulge the craving and buy the 500 peppermints so I could eat....2. That's all. So if anyone is on the lookout for peppermint candies, Casa de Carney has a lifetime supply.

So, other than that, nothing much to report. I'll be spending most of my time standing on my head...and waiting. The word of the week is...TURN!

Breech Babies and Bedrooms

Ok so I had my 32 week appointment today and.....still breech! I knew she was. I can feel her head digging into the top of my belly. My doctor said we give it until 35 weeks and then we talk about either turning her or doing the big C! If he tries to turn her, it will be at 36 or 37 weeks. It's done in the hospital and I would be prepped for surgery just in case something goes wrong and they have to get her out. There's a 75% success rate and if she turns I would be induced that week. If I choose not to do the procedure, we schedule a C-Section for 39 weeks...or maybe she'll just turn on her own! That would be nice but she hasn't moved the whole time...stubborn baby! So it's starting to look like we're not having and April baby. Stay tuned!
The nursery is in progress! We have 1 pink wall and the furniture is assembled and very cute. Now we just need to decide to paint the rest of the nursery pink or spice up the other walls a bit.

30 weeks

I just realized it's been a month since I wrote anything...where does the time go? I'm sure all of you have given up on the Baby Carney blog by now. Nothing really new to report. She is still breech :( For some reason, she likes where she is. The doctor gives her 5 more weeks to turn. I have doubled my weight, not real happy about that. I was doing very well until Christmas came along. Oh well, what's a pregnant girl to do? My sugar was also high this month. Dr wasn't real thrilled about that. OOPS! Other than that, not much to report. She has dropped and is sitting on my tail bone I believe. It's killing me. My belly vibrates now. She moves and the whole thing shakes! Ha!

Baby Love

Here is our little chubby cheek girl! I do have to say she is awfully cute! I can't stop looking at her. She was very hyper this morning. Of course I did have a cup of hot chocolate and a can of coke before I went. She dozed off while we were taking her pictures but woke back up and put her hands in front of her face. Then she started playing with her cord, which was kind of disturbing to me but we were told it's normal.

The moment of irony for the day...she doesn't have any hair! Go figure!

Daddy Kisses!

Ok, so we registered today! It was quite an experience. My mother and Ada were there to help me and I'm very thankful. We spent 3 hours walking around BRU! I was seeing two of everything by the time we finished. I am now registered at Babies R Us and Target. We're still trying to decide on a room theme. I was first thinking pink walls and now I'm thinking maybe green.
On to other things. She is kicking up a storm these days. She loves it when her daddy talks to her. He kissed my bump yesterday and she kicked right where he kissed. She definitely likes his voice and his kisses...just like mommy :)
We cannot decide on a name. While I won't disclose the names we are fighting over yet, I love both of them and he likes one of them. I don't know what the outcome will be but...I usually get my way!
We have our 4D ultrasound on Saturday, very exciting! I hope she cooperates and I hope we can find out how big she is. I've definitely been eating more these days. I just can't wait to step on the scale at the Dr. this week. My new cravings are chewy sweet tarts, hot chocolate, and anything salty.
So, hopefully we'll have some pictures to show off next week, just in time for Christmas!
