Hospital Bag

I did a lot of research to try and figure out what I needed in my hospital bag. I used the internet, my friends and some info from the hospital as well. I'll go ahead and share what you'll find in it and later I'll update with exactly how useful it ended up being lol

39 Weeks

This passed week was pretty laid back. I've been drinking my Third Trimester Tea like its my job. I also went a little crazy baking last week as well, oops. Let me tell you, it was SO worth it though!!!

Maternity Photos

I know I shared in a previous post (37 Weeks) some of the DIY maternity photos I did in my home. Today I wanted to share both the photos taken by the art student, Misty, as well as the photos I had a friend take of my husband and I that I edited.

Enjoy!

DIY Nursery, Part III

The last two decor pieces for the nursery were finished here recently. It might even be safe to say they are some of my favorite pieces! They were so last minute because I couldn't get my hands on them until I was about 27/28 weeks pregnant and then of course one of them was damaged.

38 Weeks

What a week!!! My goodness.

You might be nesting if.....

Yup. It's happened. I'm officially in nesting mode. Yesterday I got my Betty Crocker on by making these FABULOUS Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.

DIY Nursery, Part II

I remember when I first started Pinterest planning my little baby's nursery. We didn't know gender yet but I knew I wanted it to be more on the gender neutral side. We weren't painting and we aren't allowed adhesives on the walls, so it was up to me to get creative.

37 Weeks

Last week was pretty rough on my emotions. I spent many days just wanting to cry my eyes out. Hormones man, they sure are crazy. I spent a couple of days in a pretty terrible funk. I like to think I have defeated it now though. I feel really calm, sort of at peace. I find this incredibly surprising though because we got some pretty crappy news this week.

DIY Nursery, part I

I should be expecting my son in about a month and I finished his nursery just days ago. Usually I would be chomping at the bit share how amazing it is but because we are keeping his name a secret, I will not be doing a full reveal until after his birth. What I will do in the meantime is share pieces and parts of it! His nursery has no specific theme aside from primary colors. I wanted my little man to have lots of bold colors to help with color vision development. Since we are in a rental home, we chose not to bother with painting the walls. This really gave me a lot of creative liberty when it came to decorations!

36 Weeks

Officially 9 months pregnant. Woah. I'm pretty sure I'm waddling at this point. I'm also pretty sure that I increase in size daily. This may not actually be true, but I sure feel like it. In this passed week my husband as spent much more time touching and rubbing my belly. It's really the cutest thing. He's also been going out of his way to tell me just how beautiful he still finds me. I always seem to tell him he's crazy because i'm really struggling with my body image.

Me + Netflix, part I

Alas it's true! I am in love with Netflix. I have been for quite some time, honestly. It wasn't until about 10 months ago that I moved up into the world and started paying for my own account rather than mooch off my sister's. I mean, I watched some pretty odd stuff, still do really. I mostly watch during the day while my husband is at work. That way, he can't make fun of me for the crazy things I choose. So what do I watch then? Well it's all across the board- from documentaries to children's shows. Today, I'll just focus on TV series'.
