Growing Morses: The Great Rug Hunt

Today I reached 31 weeks. Although Harper is not being "measured" to estimate size or weight babies her age average four pounds this week and 16 inches. That's crazy to me! It explains how tired I've been, though, because that's *a lot* of growing in one week.

Our 30 week appointment went well. Everyone's still healthy and strong. Baby girl is head down, with her back against my right side, facing left, with her feet sticking out left and her little hip and tooshie pressed a couple inches above my belly button. That explains why I often feel movement from four different spots on my belly all at once. It's pretty cool to be able to feel distinct body parts now!

The fatigue seems to be wearing off, which I'm both happy about and sad about...because now I'm finding it difficult to rest and stay asleep during the night. But it does make activities during the day a little easier and it means I'm awake more to feel all those fun movements! Here's video of what I could only describe is an earthquake in my tummy.

Nesting took it's toll this week, too. I was determined to get everything I needed for the nursery (or, at least find what I will purchase in the near future). Members of my family have generously offered to take care of our crib and rocking chair, and I'm so grateful! We'll be picking up the furniture in a week from today!

So, while hunting for nursery items I settled on crib bedding, drapes, and some decor pieces (a few accent pillows and wall decor). I got some quotes/pictures printed to frame and hang up as well as a wall mural. I settled on a few other items of decor and then it came time to find the rug.

The rug that took me over 5 hours to find. The rug that kept me up until around 8am in the morning. No. That's not an exaggeration. I can't explain the feeling of urgency I had, but I would not go to bed until I found it. I wasn't even tired until I found it. It was pretty crazy. And it was over a rug. I was going to wait until I could put everything together for a big reveal, but since that will take a while (some items may only get here a couple weeks before she's born) I'll post the photos of what we will be using now and then some more once it's all complete. The way the blog makes me format posting pictures is awkward, so bare with me.

Our wall are a light gray and our floors are like a super light taupe-ish/cream/tan color.
