Coral's room








We have finished our babies room. We didn't make it too fancy since we are trying our best to only buy things that are absolutely necessary in our lives. We feel that our future and our family time are more important. The space is small but it suits our needs. We borrowed a twin bed from our neighbor for my mother on her visit. Our neighbor also donated the dark pink curtains. Dorian made Coral wood shelves to save space and I glued shells from the beach on them as a border. Dorian bought me a mama rocking chair for Christmas that I love. I must say the best thing about her room is the view. My mom is bringing us our babies play yard, bassinet, and changing table all in one that I bought at babies R us on our last visit. It was very economical and another space saver. We wanted our daughter to have a comfy bed. Almost 10 more weeks left until Coral Ocean Kaye Smiley is born.
Thanks for your support

28 week Coral









28 weeks ultrasound. Coral is doing great! Everything is normal. She has turned around and is no longer breach. I have gained 25 pounds already. The doctor thinks I will gain 37 total which he says is normal. 12 weeks to go!
We actually took pictures of our video with our camera because we were unable to rip the pictures from the DVD. They are distorted but with a good imagination you can see what she looks like. We still think she has my nose and Dorian's lips. We both see ourselves in her pictures.
Dorian and I are doing great! We were in the 6.1 earthquake in San Jose, Costa Rica yesterday. It was intense. Everything around us was fine but it did give everyone a good shake.
We can't wait for Coral to be born. We have been nesting here getting ready for her arrival.
Thanks for you support
