35 Weeks and Max's Nursery!

I am officially 35 weeks along today.  Four more until we plan to meet the little guy!  Could be sooner!  Hopefully IS sooner, but we shall see.  I definitely want to make it to 37 weeks, then after that...he can most definitely welcome to come before my schedules c-section.  I really, really am getting so excited to meet him!  Two of my best friends, Lauren and Melissa just had their babies and holding those sweet babies definitely gave me baby fever something fierce.  It also reminded me just how small newborns are.  I can't remember Ly that small!  It's also been interesting to see Ly with little babies...she loves them and even helped Melissa change baby Colton's diaper.  :-) She's gonna be a great big sister!
As far as how I'm feeling now, I feel pretty good actually.  My back aches from time-to-time.  Depends on the day I suppose.  No swelling yet.  I'm starting to get out of breath just from walking!  The little guy is high up, and practically sitting on my lungs.  Or that's how it feels anyway.  Acid reflux is my enemy right now (thank God for Tums!).  Weight gain is about the same as it was with Ly.  Sleep is close to non-existent, what with flipping and flopping and getting up to pee every couple of hours. :-) I know right, I said I was feeling good but all that sure doesn't sound so great right?  Well, I know it could be way worse so I'm A-OK!
Now it's time for a little tour of Max's nursery!  We had very little space (the extra rooms in our house are not gigantic by any means), but I think we worked well with the space that we had!  I love his room!  And just like Ly's nursery, I find myself sitting in his room just taking it in.  In fact, that's where I'm typing from now. :-)
His crib... (car seat won't be there forever, just for now).
Changing table.  Still need a changing pad cover.  Using a tin bucket to put extra diapers in.  
Rocker and such. :-) Will probably spend many-a-night right there....
And, just for kicks...Ly's bathroom was all decked out in Princess.  Well, as she and Max will be sharing a bathroom, we felt it necessary to neutralize the space a little. ;-) Here's Ly showing how she's big girl washing her hands after using the potty.  Time just passes by way too fast!  She is such a big girl now, fixing to be a big sister to Max.  I will definitely have to treasure the "baby moments" with Max, because I am well aware of our fleeting they are!
That's all!  Next doctor's appointment is the 23rd and then it's every week from there on out!  So close!
