So I am 34 weeks pregnant. I feel like I am getting more back pain. Mostly in the middle of my back if I am standing or sitting on a soft surface for a while. I also got a really bad stomach bug or food poisoning on Sunday night. I woke up in the middle of the night and was vomiting like crazy for at least 1 1/2 hours. However, after I stopped vomiting I felt a lot better and was able to go back to bed. I took Monday off to rest and make sure I stayed hydrated. I wasn't sure if I should go to the hospital but since I was feeling better and had no other symptoms, I felt like it was better to go to bed and rest. I called my midwife the next day. She didn't seem too concerned and thought it was just something I ate since I had no other symptoms and I was feeling better. Again, she said that the most important thing was to stay hydrated. I have my 34 week midwife appointment tomorrow so I will get to hear the heartbeat and make sure everything is fine.
We had our maternity photoshoot on Sunday evening. I went with a different photographer than the one who cancelled on me last week. She even had a special promotion going on so it was cheaper than I thought it would be. We had an outdoor photoshoot. It was a bit chilly especially for the dress I was wearing but I got to try a lot of the poses I saw on Pinterest and overall I really liked her. She brought some props and was really nice. We tried a couple different locations and she shot from different angels. She already posted a little "sneak peak" of some photos the next day and I think some turned out really nice. She is supposed to send me the rest of the edited pictures by the end of the week so I will definitely post some pics in a separate blog post once we get those.
We started putting together the nursery furniture this past week. All of the furniture was purchased from Sears. We have put together the crib, change table, and dresser. I swear putting together nursery furniture is a bit of a relationship test. My husband was frustrating me a bit because he wasn't always listening to the instructions I was giving him (which I was reading from the booklet) and he would get so fixated on the smallest thing. Anyway, the crib and change table were pretty straight forward to put together but the dresser was a nightmare. Some of the screws that came with it were too short but luckily I bought a huge screw set so we used different screws that fit better but then my husband accidentally screwed a piece in too tight and it went through the front of the dresser so now we have a hole in the dresser drawer. Hopefully we can just sand it down a touch up the paint. However, the drawers don't fit in straight. I am am not sure if it something we did wrong or if the rails that were already pre-assembled on the sides were slightly crooked. It is so frustrating because we don't really know what the problem is so it is hard to fix. We worked on it for so many hours today that I am taking a break and will have my dad look at it on Saturday and see if we can fix it. At this point it is put together and the drawers slide but the top drawer is stiff and all the drawers look a bit crooked when they are shut. I am also a bit disappointed about the size of the dresser. I thought it would be a bit bigger actually.
The only furniture that we have left to get is the glider which we also have to put together. I am waiting until the rest of the furniture is in place so I can make sure there will be enough room for the glider. I am worried that the glider will be too big for the room.
This weekend my dad is supposed to be coming over to help build an extra shelf for the closet and we will be hanging the blinds in both the nursery and spare bedroom. Hopefully if we have time, we can also hang a couple of shelves on the walls of the nursery and place the wall decals. Once that is done I can better place the furniture and start organizing all the stuff into the room.
As far as purchases go this week I didn't get too much. I got a couple of shelves, drawer organizers, and the glider slip cover from Ikea, a bit of clothes, and two more cloth diapers. I was going to buy a breast pump the other day but I am still on the fence about the breast pump since it is so expensive. I am in between buying a single or double breast pump. Anyway, it is something I plan on talking about with my midwife tomorrow.
