38 Weeks & Our 1 of a kind nursery!!!

This week has been a little crazy! I lost my mucus plug on Wednedsy around 7:30 am. Boy did that make me nervous. I ran to my mom's (she lives behind me). I was laughing and scared at the same time. Nerves I guess. All the stories I heard, people USUALLY deliver within a couple days. Its now day 4 and NOTHING. Im sure it is soon but, COMMON little guy lol! WE ARE READY!

We also had a friend come in and paint the nursery wall. HOLY CRAP was that the BEST descision EVER. I have been friends with Bob for about 17 years, high school days. He started off with "street art" but has since "grown up" to more mature art, abstract art. His work is BEAUTIFUL. I would NEVER change my mind on having him do ANYHTING someone needs an artist for. I CANNOT thank him enough for his work!!! If anyone needs some work done, email him here BOBS EMAIL.

HERE ARE THE PICTURES!!!













How far along? 38 weeks, Day 5!!!
Total weight gain: 37lbs. I'm pretty proud of myself :)
Maternity clothes? ...are no fun anymore. Nothing fits!
Stretch marks? Tiny ones! { Above the old ones, from weight gain/loss over the years }
Sleep: not doing much of that at night. I am a belly sleeper! I feel like I could choke on my weight gain! LOL
Best moment this week: Got the MOST exciting news about a family member! I cannot wait to share more, WHEN the time comes!!! I also had my 38 week check-up yesterday! Doc said I am still 1cm dilated and 50% effaced, but he is lower. In the words of the doc "I think you’re having a slighty bigger baby' In the my own words "{Insert swear word here} greeeeeeeat...lol?!" I get to have my final ultrasound on Tuesday to find out his size though, THAT’S A PLUS!!! She is also going to strip my membrane to further along the labor process. I AM nervous!
Miss anything? Sleep…
Movement: Such a little dancer!!! I CANNOT wait to see him move on the OUTSIDE J
Food cravings: Arby’s…AND popsicles!
Gender: BOY!
Labor signs: Still swelling...and I've been cramping pretty regularly. Braxton hicks are a normal occurrence in my day!
Belly button in or out? Still IN!
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy, but just very emotional! I’m also starting to get NERVOUS. This is getting REAL, real fast lol J
Looking forward to: Holding our sweet baby boy I am beyond filled with so many emotions! I hope he has blue eyes just like his Mom and Dad!

DIY Newborn Shadow Box

Image
  Look what I made! It's a shadowbox filled with Luca's hospital stuff including the outfit he wore home, his first hat, the hospital bracelet, and his birth announcement, ambilical cord { I sealed the cord in plastic and put it in the diaper. Not everyone would want to see it, but I wanted to keep it somehow without losing it.  I love how it turned out! I totally jacked this idea from Pinterest {of course}. But I had to add my own twist to this project, and now I think my box is far superior to the ones I saw online {I might be a tad bias though}. SO you wanna know how I did it? Supplies: - Shadow Box - All your baby Items {i.e. outfilt, diapers, bith announcements, scrapbook supplies, scissors, baby bracelets, hats} - Glue gun - 1 yard of fabric {any color that suits your needs} - scrapbooking embelishments First let me just say that this project was super easy. And cheap, too! I waited till I saw a sale at our local craft store {Pat Cat

He is here!!! :)

I was 30 years old when my boyfriend of 7 years, Kyle, and I found out we were expecting a baby! We were really excited to have a little person that will have a little bit of both of us. I hadn't been experiencing morning sickness,but smells were REALLY bothering me. I wasn't the type to have a "normal" period so we didn't know something was up. After a couple weeks of experiencing the smell sickness I figured, lets try a test...POSITIVE!!! It was a very nerve racking day for us! I had a very normal pregnancy with the occasional aches and pains here and there. Once I reached 39 weeks along, I was absolutely ready to have this little guy. I mean I hadn't gotten huge but very uncomfortable!! I had gained over 30 pounds overall!!  Not many cravings... just the routine need to wake up at 2, 3, and 4 am to use the bathroom. I didn't have many stretch marks, well what weren't there already. The whole time I had been working. Wednesday August 8th came ar

37 Weeks...FULL TERM!!!

Image
I cried on the way to work. NOT because I am unhappy, that is not the case by any means, BUT because TODAY I am considered FULL TERM!!! ♥ HOLY CRAP! I cannot believe this has gone by so fast! I am going enjoy this huge belly, swollen feet, heartburn after drinking water, high blood pressure, and EVERYTHING else comes along in the next couple weeks because I’m pretty sure we are going to have a HEALTHY & I’m sure pretty HANDSOME little man!!! :) ♥ FULL TERM! My due date is still 3 weeks away so I know that doesn’t mean a lot, but it gives some peace of mind. This little man could be born anytime now with lungs mature enough to likely be just fine. I’ll take the 3 extra weeks though! I’m figuring I’ll get 4 more weeks with this little one. Resources say he weighs around 6.5 lbs and is 19 – 20 inches long.   My ribcage is expanding to make space for all those squished organs. I’m seriously running out of clothes that fit. Even maternity clothes barely fit. Most shirts aren’t
