Pregnancy Week 38

February 12, 2012
Here we are two weeks from our EDD! Hopefully you aren't too bored with all my pregnancy updates, but these are my last few days or weeks so they will be over soon (then you get to hear about Shelby )
I had a great 38 week appointment. Based on feeling Shelby from the out... Read MoreGet Ready for Baby: Our Finished Nursery

Finally at 38 weeks we have everything completely done! All clothes are washed, all diapers are prepped, all bedding and blankets done. Everything is put away and ready to go!
I have even (almost) finished my birth center bag. Shelby's bag is done, snacks are packed and t... Read MorePregnancy Week 37

February 6, 2012
Well I am not sure how many pregnancy updates I'll have, but with my luck miss Shelby will wait until the last minute to come! I fully expect to be pregnant for a few more weeks.

January 31, 2012
With the girls I packed the clothes they would wear coming home from the hospital in my over night bag. I knew the hospital would provide a lot of the stuff we would need for baby, like wipes and diapers, blankets even a baby hat. But with a birth center birth we bring every...

I posted about what I have in my Newborn Diaper Stash. Weren't those covers cute?
Now, for after the newborn stage I wanted to mostly go with OS (one size). These will go from around 10 pounds to 35 pounds. So basically will last until potty training. I still would like ... Read MorePregnancy Week 36

January 29, 2012
Hello 9 Months!
I can not believe we are in the home stretch! Now we count down the days until Shelby decides to make her entrance! I had both my girls at 39 weeks and I am kinda hoping Shelby does the same, but as my friend Tamra said, "God has picked the perfect day... Read MoreMy Newborn Cloth Diaper Stash

January 28, 2012
When I was trying to decide if I wanted to cloth diaper baby #3 or go the disposable diaper route it took me a long time to decide. I knew that with cloth diapers it would be more work, but not by much.
Even with my older kids when I'd change them, poopy diapers would be ... Read MoreGuest Post: 2012 Krispy Kreme Very Important Blogger Summit – Day 2 #KKVIB2012

January 27, 2012
When I was asked to join the Krispy Kreme Very Important Blogger Summit, I was honored to be asked but being 35 weeks pregnant I knew it would not be smart of me to travel. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to have a fellow blogger go in my place!
I knew the... Read MoreWordless Wednesday: 35 Week Belly Comparison

January 25, 2012
I thought it would be fun to compare my baby bump with Sarah and Shelby! I am a little surprised at how much I look the same with both babies. I just hope this doesn't mean Shelby will be 8 pounds, she definitely doesn't feel feel big.
Oh and I was pregnant ... Read MoreMy Pinterest Finds

January 22, 2012
When I first learned about Pinterest I really had no idea how addicting it would be, nor some of the cool things I found! I have always been fascinated with decor, foods, and crafts so I couldn't wait to jump on the band wagon and "pin" it out!
