Prenatal Visit

We had a visit (not sure if this is the 9th or 10th now, I've lost count) with the midwives last night. Everything is on track. No news to report. I haven't gained any weight since last week (which is surprising given the bad ice cream habit Jim and I have gotten into and the bad "Tuesday is doughnut day" habit at work). The midwife said that is a maybe a good thing and when I asked why she said it means the hormones might be changing, meaning Sophie is closer to being on her way. Fundal height was good (37 cm), baby's heartbeat was "strong" at 150 beats per second though hard to find for the midwife, my blood pressure was good. And, her head is still down and in the position. Not much more to tell there. It's anybody's guess now as to when she makes her debut...

Sophie's nursery has made some good progress, too. We got a new rug and some new curtains and Jim did a first coat on the Eiffel Tower. It's almost done now! Just waiting on the furniture and a few finishing touches. I'm quite pleased overall with the room and feel ready to spend some quality time in there with her when she arrives!

Hi Jennifer & Jim,
Sophia's room looks fantastic !
I think the Eiffel Tower is such a unique touch. If you have time could you list the colors you used in decorating. The photos do not show the colors very well. Do you have a chair cushion for the rocking chair?
Love to you three,
Kathy

Hi Kathy!
Thanks for being our most frequent poster!! Jim did a great job on the Eiffel Tower, didn't he? I guess the colors would be brown, pink, red, and a very pale light green. The wall is a cream color, Faded Clouds, from Ralph Lauren and the green on the dresser is Climbing Lily. There is a chair cushion that Dani made for the seat of the rocking chair. If you click on the photo you might be able to see all the detail better as it will enlarge for you.
We love you too and thank you for your Easter card!
