I hope it really does take all 56 days because I want them to be as healthy as possible. Our next appointment is Wednesday before Gabby takes off for New Hampshire, a non-surrogacy friendly state, for a week. She got permission from us to go, since she's not allowed to leave the state in her 3rd trimester, but she had the trip planned since even before we met in January so I felt really bad saying no, even though my OCD overprotective self was saying to her, "No, no, please don't go!" But one of the prerequisites was that she had to get doctor permission before she went, so she'll stop by the hospital on their way out of town, and if for some reason the answer is no, she'll go home with her youngest.
I'm sure it'll be fine, but it's scary, considering she gives birth so quickly and she'll be out of the state. If something goes wrong and she has to give birth there, we won't be considered the parents. Heck, we haven't even had our parentage petition go through yet, so even in MA we wouldn't, technically. Ugh.
The flooring for the nursery is done! And my curtains are 99% done! I wanted to hang them up so our guests could see things for Christmas, but I just pinned the tabs in place and I plan on sewing buttons on the front of each one later.
The baseboards are still down and there's no quarter round yet so it still looks pretty unfinished, but it's the best we're going to do for Christmas. That took a lot of hard work this weekend. The curtains in particular took me way longer than I thought they would.
Nighttime pics, so you can't see the colors as well, but I really love the aqua and yellow together. One step closer!
I love the floor. It's really coming together. I wasn't sure about the color of the walls but its coming together and it's growing on me. Lol
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it! So cute!
ReplyDeleteHoping that nothing happens when she takes her trip. Also hoping the babies stay in as long as possible.
The room looks great! Yay! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors! I'd be nervous as well if my carrier left the state but hopefully things will be fine. I can't believe how close it is til those babies are born.
ReplyDeleteAmazing 30 weeks!! I adore the colours of your nursery, I am not one for pink either!
ReplyDeleteAh Ducki they really could be here any day! Of course I hope that it's not until as late as possible but this is unbelievably exciting!
