Hospital Bag List

So for the last few weeks I've been super uncomfortable. Especially because I'm trying so hard not to waddle! I had no clue how uncomfortable it gets in the last few weeks of being pregnant. I guess it's all worth it in the end huh? In the mean time, I've been walking with my mother in law at night. I really don't think it's making the baby come any sooner... but it is helping me feel better comfort wise. I'd definitely suggest walking while pregnant (of course only if your dr. or midwife say its okay).

Other then the walking I've just been getting things ready, or as ready as possible without really knowing what to expect. The main thing I wanted done was getting my hospital bag packed. Other wise I'd forget anything and everything important while throwing stuff in a bag or suit case while running out the door.

I did look at a few lists from other women I found on pinterest, but even then I made a few tweeks here and there. I suggest you do this as well if you feel like you need to.

So I made a couple lists.... with lists inside of those lists...

 

This is how I did it.

 

 

 

 

I hope this was helpful for all you expecting! Please let me know if you feel I have left something out.

Ruffles and Sparkles

I can not believe I didn't tell you about my beautiful baby shower! I still can not believe how lucky I was to have a shower so perfect!

My best friend ever threw the shower for me, and every thing was even better than I wanted! the colors of the shower were Pewter, Peach, and White.

This table cloth here is Tulle! And the hanging sign says The sweetest Sweets for the Sweetest day! Every thing on the table was dessert or fruit. My two favorites of course.

This amazing cake was made by my friend Erica! the inside was yellow AND chocolate cake with raspberry filling! Oh my good Heavens.... It was so delicious!

P.S. take a look at that cake stand! My mom had just given that to Alexandra (my best friend) and she was so kind to use it at my shower to make it that much more of a fairy tale.

This table was so so sweet! The pink little ruffly dress on the left there was my blessing dress! and through out the shower, Alexandra played a slideshow of mine and my husbands baby pictures on that Ipad.

I had so much fun at this shower! I'm so grateful for a best friend like Alexandra, and you better know I'll be making this up to her one day when it's her turn. <3

LaterGram

So I've been quite lazy when it comes to posting on here. So first things first, here are some of my weekly photos to get  you caught up on how close I am to popping.

So.. That should make us caught up on everything... Man I've been slacking hard.

Any way, I'm Still Pregnant and getting more uncomfortable as the days go by. I actually have been waking up super sad just because I didn't go into labor the night before. Trying to stay positive, but it's either that or stay patient with my hubby. I don't think I can handle the task of both right now.

 

So fingers crossed that she'll be here in the next few days, because I'm only 2 days away from my due date!!

 

1 thing I'm really excited to do after delivering, is wearing my high heels again. It's not that I can't wear them now, I just look awkward. Kind of like a chicken on stilts. So for the a month or so I've been sticking with my flats and wedges.

I found these shoes today that make me really excited to wear stilts...err... I mean... heels again after delivery.

Super Spectator Platform Booties!

I'm not a huge fan of booties normally. But these are so awesome... That I think I'd actually wear them!

 

P.S. does anyone know how to juggle a child and walk in heels like this? It seems like a perfected art I must learn. Or maybe it's just me learning to be balanced again after being front heavy, let me know!

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers day to all those amazing husbands, dads, and dads to be!

It was nice to spend a little time with my dad. I can pretty much see him whenever I want. I take it as a blessing and cherish all our "inside" jokes and laughter over nothing. You truly will never understand our humor unless you are one of us. That's what I love about it though. It's our own little world.

I had not realized, until I got married, that I am a total daddy's girl. My husband pointed it out to me one day and at first I was in denial. Not that being a daddy's girl is a bad thing, but I just didn't think I was one. It's a different type of daddy's girl though. He isn't very protective, and never really told me that boys were scum or anything. Instead when ever I came to him crying about being hurt, He'd just make me laugh. When I was little and I'd fall off my bike or something, I'd run inside crying. Wanna know what he'd tell me? Drink some water... That was his solution. AND IT WORKED! Every time I would drink some water I'd stop crying. Then he'd make me laugh somehow.

My husband is one of those dad's to be right now. He is so so excited. I can not tell you how much confidence I have in him being a dad. He's going to be awesome. Of course that's why I married him though. I wouldn't have married someone not good with babies. He's already attached to our still growing little one. Tells me everyday how she has already changed his life for the better and knows without her he wouldn't be heading down such a straight path. So thankful for his sweet heart.

Speaking of baby! I'm 30 weeks pregnant now!

Dr. let me know she was almost completely head down and weighing about 2 lbs. This was just a guess since it wasn't during an U/S but just by him feeling my tummy. So excited to meet this little girl!

My BFF and I went to the Tom's warehouse this weekend and got her a few pairs of cute Toms. I'll get a few pictures up of those too. on my next post.

Anniversary

So last Monday , the 3rd, was our two year anniversary! Sometimes it seems funny we've been married two years. Even more funny is that we are having a little baby girl in August! But I just wanted to take a second a brag about my wonderful husband and say how lucky I am to have someone so caring, funny, stylish, and protective. He loves me and this baby more than anything in this world and that's really all I want from him! So here is to the forever years to come! Love you Josh!

For our Anniversary we got super fancy and went to my Dr.'s office for my glucose test...I mean there is nothing more fancy than that huh? We did go out to the Yardhouse later that night. Always a good choice! Not so much good for the calorie intake...Had a great evening though calorie/weight gain and all.
