Amelia's Nursery! We are busy getting ready for the holidays as well as creating all three girls new rooms! Amelia's room is very eclectic. It has a vintage modern feel-but cozy in that!

 Her bedding is made from fun ivory/coral/aqua fabric. Its going to be a surprise until reveal day :)

Her crib is from Ikea


Her changing table I purchased from Craigslist this is the "Before" picture


Her wall art is a mix of "The Best of Pinterst" plus some vintage prints (and a Disney pic!")

...and there is more but you'll have to wait to see :)

On Tuesday of this week we had our 2 meeting with Dr. P. He is very "happy, happy, happy" with Amelia although she is very stubborn and doesn't like sonogram days. I spoke before about how she yawns and doesn't participate well with profile pictures. Well this time, after a few shakes of the belly to get her to rotate, she threw up her pointer finger and turned directly to the Doppler like she was saying, "LOOK, I am not doing this today. LEAVE ME ALONE" 

Oh boy! Another strong-willed girl. Good thing their momma can go toe-to-toe with them :)

  1. Glad little Amelia is doing well in spite of all of the issues :) Just curious -- why is the anterior placenta an issue? My placentas were anterior with at least 2 of my pregnancies (maybe all 3 -- I can't remember), and my doctor said that was the most common place for the placenta and no big deal. Is yours placenta previa and that's why it's an issue? Sorry, I'm not trying to be nosy -- I'm just genuinely curious! :)

  2. Its more of an uncomfortable situation. Amelia hangs out low-real low-and the placenta being on the abdominal part makes eating, walking, breathing, growing harder. Its not so much of an "issue" more of 1 more thing to be aware of and makes daily life harder for me. :)
