Getting closer....

Today I am 33 weeks. Only seven more weeks give or take and then I will be able to hold my precious little Ellyana in my arms. 

We have the nursery almost set set up and I have most of what we need to bring her home. 

On a weird note, I woke up on Thursday and my baby belly had decreased. I looked like I had just given birth instead of being 7 weeks away. I had been feeling very "heavy" for a few days, a lot of pressure and a feeling of heaviness in my stomach. When i woke up on Thursday those feeling were gone and so was my belly. Elly is still being somewhat active so I am not too worried.  It has slowly started to come back but not to the point that I was at. I can see my feet too which is funny.

Elly is not as active as Dawson was so I am hoping she is more laid back and mellowed out than he is. Chandler was a very mellow baby and with a soon to be 3 year old in the house, the mellower-the better. 

I realize that I haven't post may pictures on here for this blog. Here are a couple of the nursery so far. The colors don't come across a cute as the room really is but for this being my very 1st and last nursery, I am happy.

 Elly's door

Crib and dresser

The knobs on her dresser spell out her name
(This is the same dresser I used when I was younger. It use to be a bright yellow. Now it is a lime green and periwinkle.)

 The beautiful quilt that my Mother-in-Law made Ellyana

 The letters I painted 
(The dots are multi colored. Doesn't show very well)
Sign my Mom and I found.

 Cute flower I found at Hobby Lobby

 Our Craigs List changing table

Like I said, The colors don't show up as accurate on a few of these pictures. Everyone will just have to come as see the room...and Elly too when she makes her appearance.
