So lately I have gotten a lot of good news. I haven't had any more blood pressure issues and my doctor thinks I only have about a week or so until Liam is born. I am 60% effaced and 1 cm dilated. Also my doctor thinks that once my labor starts, it will go fast. I couldn't be more excited. Now I am just waiting.
I still need to put some final touches on the nursery, make my playlist for the hospital and finish packing my hospital bag,...

I am officially in my 3rd trimester! A lot has happened since my last baby post. We have two baby showers planned for March, we registered, we completed our Stork Support class at the hospital, we bought our crib and we have started on the nursery!
We decided to go with the
Davinci Jenny Lind crib and ordered it from Amazon. We decided on this crib because it will match the the changing table we were gifted and the rocking chair my mom found for...
