Update on Baby Chambers

Wayne and I just wanted to give you the update on Baby Chambers.

For the last month or so the doctors have been monitoring the baby’s size by sonogram because she has been measuring “large” for her age. On the 8^th she was already 8 ½ pounds and gaining about ½ a pound a week. Although those measurements cannot be exact, the doctors do feel that they were able to get good pictures and along with the monitoring over the last month feel confident that we have really do have a BIG baby.

Based on her estimated size and growth pattern the doctors do not want me to wait until my due date (27^th) or later for a natural delivery. Because of this they have scheduled me for a C-Section delivery on Monday, February 25^th at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Children. So, unless she decides to be “early” (and with my genes who really thinks that’s gonna happen? - well now that I said it...) we are looking forward to meeting our daughter on Monday!

In other news…we FINALLY narrowed down her name to two choices: Charlotte Morgan Chambers and Morgan Bianca Chambers. The way the ‘Name Game” has been progressing so far, we expect to still be negotiating on the way to the hospital…

Charlotte's Pink & Brown Nursery

These are some pictures of Charlotte’s nursery. We wanted it to be modern, different and a little funky – no baby Mickey Mouse boarders for us! Of course now, this color pallet is everywhere – kinda like our wedding colors! Anyway, we found the dresser, which we use as a changing table on Craig’s List and the crib was a private purchase that Holly’s mom coordinated for us. The chair was actually a wedding gift from Erin’s step grandparents. It used to be in the master bedroom but works so well in the nursery, we switched the rocking chair (the one Erin’s parents used for her) to the master bedroom. The bedding is a mix and match of gifts or items we found all over the place. Erin and her mom, Sheila, did make the crib skirt because they just could not find what they wanted anywhere. The cool silver mobiles are from West Elm and we will move them up and down as she gets more mobile. The funky brown circles and shapes on the wall are painting done by Tyler & Sancha, Erin’s brother and sister.
