We officially have all of our nursery furniture, hooray! Bryson’s room comes complete with a crib, dresser, combo unit dresser/changing table and a recliner. We went recliner shopping on Saturday, and Mike was officially worn out when we were finished. Apparently chair shopping takes a lot out of him. It was a lot of fun. Mike picked out his favorite chair (a.k.a. the baseball chair, due to the fabric) and was determined to have it in Bryson’s room. It was definitely the most comfortable chair we sat in. However, it was by far the ugliest chair we sat in (sorry Mike!). I would post a picture to show how scary it was, but I would feel terrible if anyone that read this actually has a chair like this. So, no picture for anyone! We did find a fantastic chair that was equally as comfortable and is pretty to look at.
With all this furniture, it’s definitely a tight squeeze to fit it all in the room. I think we have decided on our bedding and paint color too, but until it is set up, I can’t make any guarantees yet. I’m looking forward to the finished room, but I’m really looking forward to decorating it. I’m even excited about painting. I promise to post pictures once the nursery is complete.
As for Bryson, he is kicking in full force now. I can without a doubt tell if the feeling is from Bryson or something else. He is certainly getting stronger by the day. Mike was able to feel him really kick for the first time last night. It was the strongest one yet, so we were both really excited. He gave me a mini kick, so Mike came over to see if there would be a repeat performance. After about five minutes, Mike was a bit discouraged because he couldn’t feel anything. Then all of a sudden, Bryson gave a power kick. I wish I could have a picture of our faces at that exact moment. Priceless! Bryson weights 13 ounces (average is 10 ounces, so he is a growing boy!). According to several books, he is the size of a banana…a really big banana.
As for me, all is still going well. I have gained 7 pounds in 21 weeks, so I’m right on track. Some days it feels like I have gained 20 pounds already, especially at night. Bryson has a tendency to stretch out more as the day goes on, so my stomach goes from a pretty normal size in the morning to really massive by 8:00 at night. It amazes me how heavy my stomach can get. I can’t imagine what it will be like when I’m almost ready to deliver. I am now in maternity pants, which is a must. They are awesome, by the way. I feel like I’m wearing pajamas, but everyone else sees I’m wearing work pants or jeans. They should make these pants for everyone to enjoy! I highly recommend them.
