Late Father's Day Present

First before I get started, what the heck is up with "planking" it's like the dumbest thing ever! I don't understand what is "cool" about it at all.... you all look stupid. The end.

So I had grand plans of making an adorable onesie for Chris for Father's Day I started it but then it seems like a billion other things came up right around that time and I never finished it. Until yesterday that is. So here are a few pictures of the finished product. I think it turned out pretty darn cute :)





I am now 34 weeks and 1 day (if you want to get technical) pregnant! Chris and I were just talking about how it just seems like yesterday we found out we were pregnant! It's crazy how fast it's gone by and I've been so lucky to have such an easy pregnancy. Even with the month and a half of being sick I've had a much easier pregnancy then most. I am looking forward to her dropping though, I know I don't carry super high (which I'm very grateful for) but the bottom of my sternum, xiphoid process doesn't lay down anymore it bows out you can feel the lump from it. But it's not enough that you can see it through my skin. Unless I suck in a bit then you can! That and that the top of my ribs just under my boobs fall asleep and get tingly if I'm not laying down or have my back arched a bit. It's weird and doesn't feel right. So that's why I'm looking forward to her dropping so my ribs have more room.

Here are some pictures of the belly.





Oh and I am all set for nursing! I got 8 pairs of cloth nursing pads and one pair of lily padz. I got the type of undershirts I was wanting to get. And my thought process behind wanting to just get long plain spaghetti strap tanks is so when I use the nursing covers I got as baby shower gifts my sides won't show b/c they cover the front of you but your sides would easily be exposed.




One good kick from the baby and your side would be showing or even just from the behind angle I think you'd able to see my hip/side area 





So with the tank I can just leave it down and and do my business out of the top, leaving my sides covered :) I also have a really nice breast pump that hopefully I can use to store extra milk so Chris can have bonding time by being able to feed her as well.

almost there

I'm starting to feel more ready for this little one to come live with us. We almost have everything that we need to get before she comes. We still are needing to get: changing pad, nursing pads, nursing pillow, undershirts for nursing (just long length spaghetti strapped tanks), lanolin, car seat cover (mom is sending the material just have to make it) , gas drops, *socks &mittens,a few more hats, and a few more blankets (*not a must) But considering what all you need to have for a baby (a surprising amount of things!) we're almost there! I got our pack n play set up today which makes me feel just that much closer to having everything done that I'd like to.

Here are a few shots of the pack n play all put together

** The ones with the strike through are things that I've checked off the list :)
*** YAY we have all the things that I was wanting to get!
