Sean ordered a few things from Abbyslane.com over the weekend and they arrived today! We got a zebra print Blueberry Minky, a periwinkle Fuzzi Bun (it looks way more purple then we were expecting, but who says boys can't wear purple!), a cheetah print Blueberry Minky, an orange pail liner, and a super cute owl wet bag for the diaper bag! The Minky diapers are so soft! I'm sure whenever Cash wears them I will just want to sit and pet his butt!


I cut a TON of cloth wipes out of old t-shirts. T-shirt material apparently does not fray, so they are the perfect no sew wipes! They are in the wash right now, so we'll see whether or not they hold up! They were shirts I had planned on getting rid of so even if we only get a little use out of them, its better then nothing! I started out trying to make them all perfect and the same size then realized how crazy that was! They are going to be used to clean up poo, am I really going to care if each wipe is exactly alike? Doubtful!

a. This is what you see when you first walk in
b. What you see from the closet, the little chair next to the crib was my Mom's, then mine, and now Cash's. It has gotten a make over though! My Dad sanded it down and painted it yellow, and I made the little cushion for it.

c. The changing area

d. Cash's Ugly Dolls and Monsters. Once he's in the crib they will find a new home in his room, but they look cute for now!

e. Another from standing in the door way

f. His closet and bookcase, the clothes hanging are just newborn to three months! He has way to many outfits!

36 weeks 4 days!

Still here, still pregnant, growing more and more impatient everyday! When I'm not walking, cleaning, or attempting to sleep, I'm hanging out on the exercise ball hoping it does something, anything! Cash seems to have dropped a little, so that's a good thing. I'm even doing lots of jumping jacks! I'm really ready to get this kid out!!!


How far along? 36 weeks 4 days
Total weight gain/loss: eeeeekkk! +35lbs! Come soon Cash! I don't wanna gain a ton more!
Maternity clothes? Duh.
Sleep: Lay down, roll over, get up to pee, lay down, roll over, get up to pee, lay down, roll over, get up to pee, lay down..........you get it.
Best moment this week: Realizing that Cash could come any day now!
Gender: Still a boy, or at least we hope so!
Labor Signs: Still pretty much the same. Lots of braxton hicks (they seem to be getting much stronger, my belly gets rock hard every time I have one!), cramping, back aches, tons of pressure.
What I miss: Ankles!
What I am looking forward to: Being skinny again!
Milestones: Nothin'!

35/35!

How far along? 35 weeks! 35 days until my due date!
Total weight gain/loss: +29lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes, though most of what I have doesn't fit anymore. I told my Mom that I'm just going to cut a hole in a sheet and wear that for the next few weeks! Thankfully though I don't really go out much so I just hang out in my pajamas!
Sleep: I have good days and bad days. I try and nap, I tend to sleep better during naps anyway, plus napping passes the time and I'm all about passing the time now!
Best moment this week: Had a good midwife appointment.
Gender: He better still be a boy!
Labor Signs: Still the same, lots of Braxton Hicks, some cramping, and back aches.
What I miss: Not being pregnant, not having to pee 24/7, being able to get out of bed without sounding like I'm dying!
What I am looking forward to: Not being pregnant! I'm done! Come 37 weeks Cash needs to think about packing his bags and making an exit!
Milestones: I no longer have ankles, its quite attractive!

Good thing I live in super hot Florida and can still wear flip flops, because my other shoes most definitely do not fit!

Last night, 34 weeks 1 day

I had a midwife appointment today, and it went really well. I was a little disappointed though because I REALLY liked the midwife I saw today, but she said she doesn't visit that office very often so that was a bummer. My belly was measuring a week ahead, but she didn't seem concerned about it. Cash is still head down and she let Sean feel where his head was. His face was so cute when she showed him when his head was. She also said his heartbeat sounded perfect =) She talked with us about our birth expectations and gave us tips and what not. She was just really informative and seemed very genuine. She also gave me a prescription for my heartburn which has been horrible lately and Tums is doing nothing now. We got it filled when we left the office and it worked wonderfully! I feel so much better now!

Only 40 days until my due date!
