So yesterday was the determining ultrasound. Tony came with me, just in case we ended up in labor and delivery. They did just what they did 3 weeks ago, measured every part of Elizabeth, and the amniotic fluid. The nurse said she looked good to her, she tried to get a good picture of her for us, but as I've come to totally believe, she's shy, and wouldn't cooperate. She said it looked like she weighed about 5 1/2 pounds, which is great!! That would mean she gained a good 2 pounds in 3 weeks! She then went and got the dr(who was the only dr there that day, so it took quite a while, and those bed things are NOT very comfortable, my back was totally protesting!) He came in and said she looked good, definitely bigger, so the bed rest was successful(which is good cause I'd a been upset if it had all been in vein) but the amniotic fluid is still borderline too low, so I'm still on bed rest, still going in twice a week for NST's and monitoring things closely, but if all keeps going as it has been, she'll be born on the 26th of September(here's hoping). And with any luck her nursery will be done in time for her homecoming! JK, Tony found out today that the carpet should be installed this Sat, which means we should be able to start putting up furniture Sun, and start putting everything in the room together. The best part will be having a place to put all her cloths!! oh and start washing things and have a clean place to put them away. So about the fiasco with the carpet that we ordered the 22nd of July. We found a great deal on some patterned berber carpet. The manufacturer made a deal with Lowes and passed the saving on to us! We were thrilled! We told them we needed it installed by the 22nd, and they said that was completely doable.
They said they'd call when it was at Lowes then we'd set up an instillation date. Well we waited and waited, and the beginning of Aug Tony called and asked what the status was, they said it was being shipped, and should be at lowes by the end of the week, well that came and went too, so he called again, and they said it was to be shipped out the next day.?? So he called and talked to someone else and found out that the manufacturer didn't even have the yarn color, they were waiting to get it in, and then they could weave the carpet and then they could ship it. (we were not very happy) I kinda wonder if tony hadn't of called when they would have told us about all this? Anyway, the guy we ordered the carpet from at lowes told us our options were to wait til the carpet we ordered got there(which could be a month out!) unfortunately we don't have that kind of time, as I could go into a NST anytime and be sent to labor and delivery to have this little girl, and the middle of Sept is cutting it WAY too close, even if she makes it to her due date! Or we could pick a different color in the same carpet, and see if it's in stock(which we did, but of course it wasn't in stock either) so we ended up picking a different(not as nice)carpet, it's pretty much the same type of carpet that's in here now. It's not bad really, at least it'll be clean!! And be put in correctly. We just keep telling ourselves that we should only be in this place for another couple of years max, so it's not like we have to live with it forever. So that was our fun ride with the carpet, hopefully the kinks are out and we'll have most of the nursery put together in the next couple of weeks. It's going to be a crazy busy last month, so Liz had better be good enough to make it to the 26th, cause I'm gonna need all that time! I'm way super excited to finally get to start putting the furniture up, and see it all come together, and of course the best part...Decorating!!!!! Anyhow that's the good news!
