26 weeks

Hello!! Last week, 26 weeks, brought more swelling and puffiness! What fun! Today we are in our 27th week and my only real fear at this point is that i would have to be put on bed rest at any point before my due date. We only get 16 weeks off for maternity leave and if you have to go any sooner, your timer starts ticking. So it would cut into my actual time off postpartum. Which worries me.. but the flip side is that I could just be turning into a blimp and theres no true concern at all behind it...esp. since my blood pressure has been fine. We have our next appt. wednesday so we shall see! 

In other news, we believe we have made a crib decision :) It was between the Jenny Lind crib, which is what I had when I was a baby and I just adore, and the Eden Madison 90210 crib. The Jenny lind is timeless and beautiful- and I just love it, while the Eden crib is very modern and different which I also love bc its not something ive seen a million times. The thing that may have narrowed it down for us is that fact that both cribs turn into toddler then full size beds, and the jenny lind may not be as favored by a young boy. It is more of a baby boy/ nursery style rather than an adolescent boy style! It has spindles that look more feminine once turned into a full size bed.

Also new this week, Ben was stung by a wasp yesterday and his foot became more swollen than mine! So we had to take advantage of the opportunity and photograph both of us suffering from pitting edema  at the same time haha :)

Yesterday mom and I went out and bought foam for the cradle that Pappy made for me when I was born. My twin cousins used it again 4 years later and now its time for Baby B to spend some time in it :)

 Then we lined it with a water proof pad and bought a cradle sheet for it... Voila! 

We ordered closet organizers from ebay and after arriving, I modge podged scrap book paper and numbers on them to separate his clothes...
