36 weeks

I am now visiting the OB every week for check ups, which means we are one step closer to meeting Alexander! We bought our glider for the nursery after our OB visit on Thursday and have it set up in the nursery. I am still working on the letters to spell out Alexander to put on the wall with the crib. Once I have them done and hung up I will consider the nursery complete, well that is until Alexander is home to use it.
