Down to double digits

On my counter (to the right), that is. It's less than 100 days until we hit the 40w mark. Of course, since I'll have a planned c-sec it's been less than 100 days for a while now. Still, it's a milestone in itself. I remember in my first pregnancy thinking how amazing it would be to get to the double digits point. Well...I'm there now, and it's still scary...but amazing just the same.

The TAC is an amazing thing. I'm holding at 6cm long now!!!! That's unheard of. That's like 2 full inches between our baby girl and the world. She is protected from my faulty cervix. The contractions are still coming, but DH, my doc, my friends, my mom, my MIL, and many others are keeping track of me (and my contractions). I'm in good hands these days.

So, with the celebration of making it to double digits comes the need to nest. I need to get her room ready. So, I've ordered her bedding - having it made for a very reasonable price. It will be pink and black and white with a bit of green. The room is currently blue b/c we were over-zealous parents in the first pregnancy (with Cooper)...so that needs to be painted. We bought the paint this week too. I put a tiny bit on the walls to make sure I liked the color (don't worry, I wasn't in there too long). Here's the pic of the pink paint:

Crazy enough is how hard it was to put pink over the walls that have been blue now for almost 2 years. I only covered about 2 feet of the wall and the emotions were swirling. DH will be painting the room, and I'm not sure that he'll be as sentimental about the blue as I seem to be. Maybe it's just pregnancy hormones, or maybe it's just me being a deadbabymama. Either way, it will be hard to see the blue "go". We are keeping part of the paint that was already done, though. It's a white horizontal stripe near the top of the wall. At least that way I won't feel like I'm completely covering up our boys.
