Wow! You both did a beautiful job on your nurseries!!! Looks great.

Are you planning on having the baby sleep in her room right from the beginning, or will you co-sleep at the beginning? I'm still undecided on that.

Your nurseries look great! We still have to paint and put carpet in our's..it looks like a disaster right now, some wallpaper still clinging on for dear life, and the carpet and baseboards ripped off so it's just a bare wood floor. I want it DONE!

We plan on having her sleep in her bassinette beside our bed for the first couple of months, and she'll take her naps in her crib.

Love both of the nurseries--great job! They have finally started on the addition to our parsonage (house), so it looks like Malcom will actually get to move into his nursery while he is still a baby. Almost everything that we have for his actual nursery is in storage right now. He is still camping out in our room.

PCB, with our daughter, we kept her in our room with us for several months and then moved her to her own room. She slept in a pack-n-play bassinet. We waited a little longer to move her because she was sharing a room with her sister, and they are only 21 months apart. Our son has been in our room from the beginning and will be until this house addition is finished.

Your nurseries look great! We never painted or anything in Lyra's room (but it was already lilac since we happened to paint it that way when we moved in), but we are beginning to have a sort of snow leopard theme- we bought her a rocking snow-leopard before she was born, and I had one from when I was small, so it's sort of snowballed.

Lyra still sleeps in our room in her cosleeper, but now it's set up like a bassinet because she can roll over. I don't think she will be able to stay in there much longer because pretty soon she will be able to sit up, but I'm not quite ready to move her to her own room. I like having her close!

Lyra is now 5 months old (already!) so I will have to add some more pictures here soon.

If my count is right, we are expecting 5 more PT babies soon?

YAY! The decals came in and they are perfect! The nursery is really wonderful. It is such a lovely place. I go in there all the time and nap in the glider.







And, I spelled her name out in wooden alphabet blocks on her dresser.

Gliders are comfy for napping. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen asleep in ours during night time feedings.

Just to let you guys know:
I have low amniotic fluid. They may do a C-section as early as Monday.
For now they scheduled me for July 29th but everything can change come Monday. Keep me in your thoughts.

We go in tomorrow to see if Clara has been a good girl and turned for us. I don't think she has, but we'll see! If not, hopefully I'm still a good candidate for the external version procedure (where our doctor will try to manually turn her). I'll let you know what we find out!

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Good luck today, Kari. I hope everything goes well!

[beeniesmom]

Good luck!

We will have Clara in our room in a co-sleeper for awhile. I'll just go with the flow, and whatever feels right and works for us. So, I'm not sure how long she'll sleep in the co-sleeper. I figure I'll put her down for naps in her crib once in awhile.

Thanks! Yes, we will let her sleep in a bassinet in our room for the first few weeks at least.

Just wanted to share a few pictures now that Lyra is 5 months old...ok more than a few! I couldn't decide which ones to share so I included quite a few. I wish I could get more pictures of her smiling but she is strangely suspicious of the camera.

[prechrswife]

Here are a few recent Malcom pictures. He will be 3 months on the 21st.

[beeniesmom]

So beautiful. I can't believe Lyra is already 5 months old!

Malcom is a doll! Thanks for posting pictures.
