Getting my suitcase packed

For some reason I've been slacking on getting my suitcase fully packed for the hospital.  From my last stay at the hospital I definitely made note that I need to buy some indoor/outdoor slippers.  I just ordered these cuties online today, so hopefully they'll be here before baby.  I've never owned a pair of furry slippers or shoes like these before but they're pretty cute, a good price, and since it's almost impossible to get my own socks on... they should work out great.

i also ordered this nursing lounge set.

*it finally arrived.  it's so incredibly soft.  i love it.  going back for more.

I'm 37weeks3days today and even though I'm so uncomfortable and achey all over, it's been so fun getting to experience all of this.  Being pregnant is such an amazing gift and I couldn't be more excited to hold my baby boy for the first time.  I could cry just thinking about it.  My friends and family have been so amazing through all of this.  Always willing to help out.  And my hubby... he had a little difficulty adjusting in the beginning and never knew what to say or do, but he's really pulled through and I couldn't have done this without him (well duh... obviously... lol... you know what I mean).  Yay for babies!!!

P.S.  This is on my Christmas wishlist.  My hubby and I always exchange lists.  Much less stressful.  I'm not even a big The North Face person, but I need a winter boot with good tread and that's still darn cute.  I think these nailed it!

*the grey ones in 6.5 are sold out everywhere.  i knew this was a good one when i saw it! 

i wonder if hubby bought up the last one.  crossing fingers.

A wedding

I just want to say sorry real quick for not visiting your blogs like I used to.  Everything takes 10 times longer for me and I am so ready to have this baby.  Our laptop died earlier this year so we've been using our new desktop and after you get used to a laptop, it's hard to sit at a desk for this long. 

Anyway, my friend got married over the weekend.  I was having a lot of contractions earlier that day (we had actually gone to a memorial in the morning as well), so I wasn't sure if I was going to make it.  It was at the Crystal Ballroom in downtown Portland.  Just gorgeous!  I'm so happy for the newlyweds.  Such a fun and exciting time.  The lighting wasn't the best for my camera, but here's some photos.  Please excuse the uncomfortable look on my face... it was because I was very uncomfortable.  Everything is aching. 

instead of statement jewelry, i opted for a statement piece of clothing.  i just love that lace jacket.

i wore flats with my floor length dress.  now you can see how tall hubby really is!

the decor was just beautiful.

i love me some buffets!

really pretty wedding cake.

the lovely newlyweds.  so happy for you two!

We left after they cut the cake.  I just couldn't get my feet to dance the night away with the rest of them.  Plus, it was insanely difficult weaving in between all the chairs and tables during the reception to get to the bathroom.  My belly has gotten so HUGE!  I just can't believe it.  I wonder if Baby Stewart is going to be a big boy?

P.S.  Did you know about this?

i've always loved pomegranates but hated how hard it was to eat.  pom has done all the work for you!

New items in my shop!

I'm right in the middle of several VERY large orders, but squeezed in some time to post some new items in my etsy shop.  Pretty things just for you... and they come packaged in adorable drawstring pouches, perfect for the holidays.  *wink wink*

Heading out to my friend's wedding tomorrow.  This is what I'm wearing...

I gave it a trial run at Thanksgiving.  It's so comfortable I could sleep in it.  I wore flats like everyone suggested, so it's a bit long but I absolutely love it!  There I am in the background.  For some reason we didn't take a family photo like we usually do.  I did win Jenga though.  Woo hoo!

See... don't I look comfy?!

I won!  Yay!

Hubby won 1 round too.  Yeah, we're THAT good.

P.S. I will get a better photo of me in the dress tomorrow. 

Still trying to figure out what accessories to wear. 

Should I wear something dramatic or simple???



It's Almost Time!!

Hi.  It's been a while.  So much has been going on!  I was in the hospital for a few days.  I was having severe head, neck, and back pain for 3 days.  I hadn't had that kind of pain before so they told me to check into the hospital.  I started having frequent contractions and only being 33 weeks at the time, they put me on an IV drip.  A little bit too early for Baby Stewart to arrive.  I'm 36weeks3days today and doc says my body is getting ready for labor, so I'm thinking he'll be here in the next week or so.  Yay!!!

The food wasn't too bad.  They let me choose.  There was a chocolate cake over to the left.  Yum!

They put me in the birthing center just incase.  My hospital is amazing. 

Fantastic doctors, nurses and huge rooms!

I was happy about having cable.  Watched HGTV the whole time!

We're almost done with the nursery.  So exciting!!  I'll share some photos after it's done.  I have a lot of work to catch up on, so this is it for now.  But I'll be back to my usual posts soon.  Thanks for your patience.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!

P.S. Be sure to check out these blogs.  They're just so lovely and they also featured my etsy shop!

Before the Big Day

My Mom Thinks I'm Swell

Updates, updates

Been away for a while, so sorry in advance for the LONG wordy post.

First off, I wanted to thank Sandy a la Mode for hosting a giveaway for me.  She is such a sweet girl!  You should definitely check out her cute blog!


I've been really bad about blogging when my shop has been featured in other blogs, but here is the most recent.  Oh, hello friend has featured my twisted rope bracelet.  Thank you!!!

So cute right?!  I have been looking for some nude/taupe shoes for a while.  And these were free!

 

Pregnancy Stuff...

I'm currently 32weeks4days pregnant.  I have a little over 7 weeks (give or take) before I get to meet our little boy.  Part of me feels like that's light years away and the other part of me feels like "Oh my gosh nothing is ready!"  Exciting either way.  We haven't even started working on the nursery yet, because the baby furniture we ordered (crib, dresser, changing table - a gift from hubby's parents) has not arrived.  We ordered everything in August.  It's been very frustrating to say the least.  I will definitely post pictures when I get it all done.  Along with the baby shower photos! 

We've been to a few birthing classes already and it's been very informative.  I highly recommend attending those if you're pregnant.  This weekend we have a baby care & breastfeeding class.  That will be interesting. 

Big New News...

Oh and I'm also very proud to announce... drum roll please...

We just purchased our first home!!

It's been a long time coming, but well worth it.  It's a custom built home and so we get to pick out all our amenities.  I'm so excited!  They should be breaking ground at the end of the month or so, which means we'll be moving about end of February or mid March.  It'll be a while before I have anything to take a photo of, but I will be sure to take photos as the construction progresses.  Yay us!

I hope everyone is doing well.  Have a great evening!
