Beckham Has A Room!

I bet you're not expecting to hear from me between Belly Pics! I'm surprised myself but I'm just so excited to finally post Beckham's nursery pics! But first, I'll tell you a little about what happened at my doctor's appointment Friday. Of course they weighed me when I first walked in and I'm now at 147lbs which means I gained 4lbs since my last appointment three weeks ago. This now leaves me with a total weight gain of 32lbs. I'm always surprised at how much weight I gain but only because I don't see it or feel it. Don't get me wrong, I see it on my face, arms and legs; but I just expected my belly to be bigger by now. Everyone seems to think I'm huge though so it must just be me. The scale doesn't lie! Anyway, we listened to his heartbeat again and it was its lowest ever: 120! He's finally starting to live up to that old wives's tale that boys have a low heartbeat. My doctor also did a breast exam because I had been feeling some pain in my left breast. He didn't find anything but said that we would do an ultrasound if I felt the pain again. But overall, everything is looking great.

So, I wasn't sure what I was going to do as far as work after having the baby. I knew that I wanted to be able to stay with Beckham and that doesn't really leave me too many options so I was just planning on staying at home until I figured it out. Until... my mom had a great idea... we're going into business together! My mom used to run an in-home childcare center for years and she had been thinking about doing it again but didn't want to do it alone. So when she called me today asking if I would partner up with her, I just couldn't turn her down. Financially, it would be fantastic for us and the fact that I would get to have Beckham with me everyday makes it even better. And of course, Nana is happy that she'll get to spend everyday with Beckham too :).

Speaking of my mom, she's been crocheting a blanket for Beckham for a while now which finally got me on the roll of knitting the blanket I had been planning to make for him. I started on it a couple weeks ago, but I must admit that I didn't get a chance to work on it this past week so there hasn't been much progress. I'm pretty sure that I'll still be working on it after he's here. Donna has also been working on cross stitching a picture for him that will have his name, birthday, weight, etc. on it. I adore homemade things!

Alrighty! I won't make you wait any longer! Here are the pics of Beckham's room! We just finished it tonight and Joshua really worked extra hard on it. He's an amazing daddy already! The lighting is awful in these pictures but it's the best I can do.
