Baby's Room & Belly Growth Progress

So I have been growing a bit lately, can't you tell? Here is my growing belly, I am 30 1/2 weeks now! Here is a snapshot of what Baby Pavelchak & I are going through right now (provided by BabyCenter.com):

"Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds - like a head of cabbage. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he is born, he will keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. You may be feeling a little tired these days, especially if you're having trouble sleeping. You might also feel clumsier than normal, which is perfectly understandable. Not only are you heavier, but the concentration of weight in your pregnant belly causes a shift in your center of gravity."


Now for the Baby's room progress- The room is a little bare right now but I am sure it will be filled very soon after the shower in July & once Adam and I start emptying out our dining room which has become filled with baby stuff lately. Adam and I found this dresser at a consignment shop in Canton that I love going to find "trash to treasure projects" at and refinished it in a creamy yellow paint. The dresser is a timeless look which I love and will work perfectly as a changing table too once I put a pad on top of it.









I painted it a creamy yellow so that it would match with the colors in the baby's quilt/bedding but also so that in the future if we do have more children it is a gender neutral color since they will be sharing that bedroom for sometime. We also have another small dresser that will work nicely with a lamp on it that my mother gave us for the room that I am working on currently and will post pictures of when done.





The baby's room was a room in our home that we never got to with all our renovations last year so becoming pregnant was our motivation to finally rip down wallpaper, re-sheet rock the ceiling, install a closet organizer & paint. We couldn't have done it all without everyone who pitched in here & there to help out so a big thanks to both sides of our family who helped along the way!


The room will have a Farm/Barn theme so as things come along and we have stuff on the walls I will post more pictures. Here are the pictures we have so far of Baby Pavelchak's room, I included a "before" picture so you all can see the transformation that has occurred!
