27 weeks belly growth & nursery update

Yep, here's my HUGE belly! I'm still on crutches and can only put minimal weight on my leg, so I carefully balanced myself to take this picture without crutches to get a good belly shot. Our little Charlie is still very active!! Oh- something to pray about is I failed my first glucose test and have to go back next week for a 3 hour test. I really hope I pass the second one because if I don't then I will be diagnosed with gestational diabetes (pregnancy diabetes). I do have a sweet friend, Katie, who has had it with both of her pregnancies and she has been very encouraging about the whole thing. Maybe the Lord was teaching me to eat a little better too!! :)
Here is the beginning of Charlie's nursery, very exciting!!!!!!!! I keep walking by his room and it feels so much more real now that there's a crib in there, I'm just imagining his little body laying in there... sleeping obviously :) I just ordered a rug so I will post pictures once it arrives and we add more to his room.
I painted the letters and I must give Carson credit for coming up with the idea to hang them off of a fishing pole. I think it turned out very cute! We've had the glider/rocker for about a year but I'm sure that thing will be worn to death over the next couple of years/kids. Don't worry it's super comfy.
Didn't know if we would have room or money for a changing table, so we just used an old desk! What should I hang above the changing table?
We bought the dresser when we purchased the crib and they're both beautiful! Then Carson and I went to this cool store in Fort Worth called Old Home Supply and found this neat wooden fish. We wanted to hang it all the wall above the dresser but that may not be an option because it's very heavy! There's Charlie's diaper bag hanging on the bed too. Since we live in a cozy 2 bedroom house, we left the double bed his nursery (on the right) for guests/parents who come to visit. Don't worry... if you come to visit us we will put Charlie in our room (in his playpen) so you can the whole room to yourselves!! :)
