Week #27

Baby (Brixen) Bump Photo

It was a busy week for the Keller Family...  As you all know, I passed the State and National Exam for my Brokers License on Wednesday.  Thursday, we had an OBGYN Appointment and Brixen's Nursery Furniture arrived!

Our OBYGN Appointment went well.  We had to see a different doctor this time because our doctor was out of the office for the month of November for surgery.  We had to go early so I could drink that "flat orange warm soda" for my Glucose Testing.  That is really the only way to describe it.  However, it was not as bad as everyone said.  Although, it probably would have been better over some ice.  

Thus far...  I have gained a total of 17-pounds.  My blood pressure was 102/66 and Brixen's heart beat was 155.  According to the doctor, I am right on-track and she was very pleased.  The appointment went pretty fast.  I had a few general questions and they talked with us about Mandatory Maternity Pre-Registration.  I have to do that 90-days in-advance.  TODAY (Saturday, November 20, 2010) marks 90-days!  WOW!

My Glucose Testing went well...  I actually heard from our doctor later that night, which I was surprised since she is out for November.  My White Blood Cell Count was a bit higher.  However, according to my doctor, this is normal during pregnancy and it could get up to 20.  Right now, mine is at 16.  She also said that during labor, it could reach 30.  She didn't seem to worried so I just thanked her for getting the results back to us so quickly.

Brixen's Nursery Furniture came about 30-minutes after we arrived home from the doctor.  It was early and I was excited about it!  The delivery people were in and out quickly and even put it together for us.  The furniture looks better than it did in the store!  They are beautiful pieces.  

Below are some photos thus far...  We still have a lot to put together and organize.  I plan to go order my glider with ottoman at Babies R Us soon so I can use my 20% off coupon.  Just a lot of odds and ends that I will get over the next couple of months.  So...  More photos to come later when the entire nursery is complete.  Enjoy!

We decided on an expresso color for Brixen's Nursery.  The theme really is just the colors, chocolate brown and light blue.  That will be used throughout the room and we also plan to put several Lion Stuffed Animals throughout the Nursery.  The picture of the crib is not completely finished.

This was me very excited!  After drinking that stuff for the Glucose Testing earlier, I was getting a bit tired.  So, I did what I could and took a nap.  That corner area is where the chocolate brown glider and ottoman will go.  Brixen's letters will go directly above the crib.  And, thinking about putting some shelves on that other wall, straight behind me.

So much to organized!  There is A LOT of room in this combo unit.  We will also use this as a changing table.  I have registered for the changing pad at Babies R Us and the changing cover is at Beyond Bedding.  It matches the rest of Brixen's bedding.  Adorable!  :)

I plan to put a large mirror above this combo unit so Brixen can look at himself in the mirror when Daddy or I are holding him.  Not sure exactly how I will organize the combo unit but that will all come together with him.  I do not want to overwhelm myself so I plan to do a little bit at a time.  Plus, we still have two more Baby Showers and Christmas!  

Going to go watch cartoons with my Husband!  He is making us a delicious breakfast.  Can't wait to eat...  I am enjoying that more and more often these days!  Looking forward to relaxing this weekend and no big plans!  Have a great weekend!  Check back soon as we are still putting the final touches on our video from our PA Baby Shower!
