33 Weeks 7 Days

Here you are 33weeks 7days big!
Here you are 33weeks 7days big!!
Nearly 7 months apart Baby Bump!!!
Baby Bump, here you are 33weeks 7days. 

We finished up your nursery this week, I can not tell you enough how much I enjoyed creating this for you. From the time you were just a little bump in my belly I was brainstorming and creating inspirational projects for you and this is just a start to a who life of adventure for us to come... xoxo mommy. here is the outcome!!

How far along? 
33week 7days

Total weight gain?
Total weight gain so far is 30+lbs. I will have an update in the next post.

Maternity clothes?
I haven't bought any more maternity clothes at this point. Today is the first sunny worm day this year and I took full advantage of it!! This dress is not a maternity dress. This maxi pre-pregnancy fit me like a glove, so any bit of a belly that I had that day you could see it, I don't have to worry about too much now ;). I have a feeling that I will be wearing a lot of these maxi dresses this summer :)

Stretch marks?
Nope, we are so close lets hope I don't get any at this point I don't think it would bother me too much.

Sleep?
I have been waking up ever 2 hours or so. My bladder doesn't have much room any more and just being uncomfortable, so the same. The told me I could take Unisom to sleep through the nights, I have never been a fan of sleeping medications, but this one really is light on you and doesn't make you feel drowsy.

Best moment this week?
We finally put the finishing touches on the nursery and I could not be any happier with the turnout. Here is our reveal. All we need now is Baby Fig to get here!!!

Miss anything?
Being able to sleep on my belly or any other position besides my left or right side as a matter of fact.

Movement?
He is very active now!!! Mostly in the early mornings and late nights.

Food cravings?
Not too much, but I have to watch what I eat because Im still doing testing on Gestational Diabetes. So sweets and sugars are out of my diet for now. No more juice or fruits and even milk for mow. Lots of high fiber and protein foods.

Gender?
We are narrowing down on a name for our little Baby Fig!!! But we are not revealing it until he gets here <3 <3.

Labour signs?
No signs at all!

Symptoms?
Nothing to add to. Just the same as it has been. Mostly HeartburnOedema, and now I have to limit my sugars until I fond out more on Gestational Diabetes, its not too fun.

Belly button in or out?
I have a little nub right now, its trying to poke out.

Happy or moody most of the time?
Ancy.... tick, tick, tick...

Looking forward to?
Now that everything is coming to an end and getting close I am getting too ancy. I will have to find more ways to keep my mind busy... I see  Belly Cast Party in the near future!!

Baby Fig's Nursery Reveal!!

I am so excited to finally pull all of my inspirations and DIY projects together to reveal our little Baby Figs nursery! Here, here, here, here and here are some of my DIY that mad this room exactly what I had envisioned. The theme I knew right off hand I wanted to do a whimsical feel, something that would inspire him, a nice calm creative and adventurous outdoors vibe in the nursery. It was really fun to pull together here on the vision board and bring all of the small details to life. I am all about being creative and using what we have, so he will be able to have many keepsakes to decorate in his room and use. We are so excited to have the nursery complete, now all we need is our little guy!
Here and here you can find my Paint by number and DIY mobil.
I loved the idea of bringing nature into the nursery (above) and here is a link to my DIY onesies.
Here and here you can find my DIY drums and DIY arrows.
Here is a list of most of the furniture and decor for the nursery. 

Thank you for taking the time to look through our nursery, Enjoy & Create!!!

32 Weeks 7 Days

Here you are 32weeks 7days big.
Here you are 32weeks 7 days big.


It has been way too long sense a belly post, I apologize. We have so may changes going on with the new home, baby to come, and and preparing for our little guy. I will share in all of my up coming posts.

Above,  is another ultrasound, I had to put this one for obvious reasons :). The reason why we had to get another ultrasound is because the Dr. is a little concerned on how big he is getting. He weighed in at 5lbs 8oz, a little large for how far along I am... They are testing my blood sugar to see if I have Gestational Diabetes. Besides that I am very good and so is Baby Fig

How far along? 
32week 7days

Total weight gain?
Total weight gain so far is 30+lbs. I lost track with all of what is going on.

Maternity clothes?
The maternity jeans I have on are borrowed from a girlfriend. I would highly recommend borrowing a few things, by now I have everything that I need until I get my pre-pregnancy figure back. It was fun buying all of the different outfits, but I miss mixing color into my wardrobe and not just wearing oversized tops and bottoms.

Stretch marks?
None yet... lets cross our fingers!!!

Sleep?
Sleep is the same. More restless legs (RLS) at this time.

Best moment this week?
By far my Baby Shower!!! It was last weekend, but I didn't do a belly post that week so I wanted to say just how much I loved it and how amazing it was. My friend Kendra was the host and she though of everything. here are the pictures from it. Thank you all!!! xoxo

Miss anything?
Not having this basket ball on my tummy. :)

Movement?
So... This is too cute every time I get into the car and turn up my music from pandora he is kicking away.. He is a little dancer like his momma.

Food cravings?
NONE!!! THEY ARE GONE!!! I'm back on the healthy track!!!

Gender?
Our little boy... we are thinking of names right now for him!!

Labour signs?
Braxton hicks contractions, I had a scare a week ago. Drinking a few glasses of water made them go away.

Symptoms?
Heartburn is still in full effect. Oedema, it is where you have water retention in parts of your body. Mine are more at my feet, legs and sometimes on my face making everything look swelling. I am also feeling very itchy on my belly... grrrrr

Belly button in or out?
Totally flat, flesh to the surface.

Happy or moody most of the time?
Anxious and creative.

Looking forward to?
Putting together our baby room... Its all becoming real, no more pinning on Pinterest!

DIY Paint By Number Mural for Baby

A friend of mind about 2 years ago asked me if I could draw a mural on her wall for her daughter. It turned out so perfect, I knew when I had my little boy/girl I would have to paint one. It was important to me to have a worm whimsical atmosphere, "Little Adventurer" something creative for him.
 Above is a before picture of our little guys room in our new home. I took a 2B pencil a drew an outline of the image I used.
 Next, plan out what will be in color and mark it (if you need to), because you will have to outline what is not colored to give it that "paint by numbers" feel.
Now add random numbers in the white areas, it doesn't really matter what numbers you use because you are not actually painting by numbers. 
Here is a sneak peak on what our little Baby Figs room in progress will look like and the Paint by Numbers Mural. I hope it was inspirational!!! ENJOY & CREATE!!

Prego Apps to Hang With

From the first month I found out I was pregnant I downloaded a few pregnancy apps. Until this day I 
still keep up with them. Here are a few I check during my long nights while I can't sleep. 
 

Pregnancy ++

This personalized app tracks your weight and baby's development. What I found unique about this app was the graphics. Visually I found it appealing the timeline and size chart are two of my most used features.

You could go with the free version or 2.99 for full.

The Bump

My Pregnancy Calendar helps you keep track of everything baby giving you a task each day from reminding you to take a belly picture that week to scheduling your next prenatal visit.  Letting you check off what you have done and go back to what you have to yet do. Keeping you on track and up to date.

Baby Bump Pregnancy

This app offers daily and weekly tips. I found that the tips are relevant to how I am feeling during the time in my pregnancy. I chose the free version and it was still useful.

By far this was my favorite app. It gives you a day-by-day updates on baby and moms growth and development. Along with visuals, videos, and links to further information, graphs and more. This app is from the most trusted parenting resources.

These apps especially in my first months of pregnancy were extremely helpful at put some of my worries at ease. Not being able to sleep at night, these gave me something to look forward to look at and keep up with. I loved tracking our little guys growth and sharing with friends and family. You have so many changes going on and being a new mom-to-be all of these apps kept me always looking ahead.
