*Full term*

How far along? 37 weeks. I don't really fully understand this whole 40 weeks pregnant business....why do they consider you full term at 37 weeks but yet you are supposed to go 40? From what I've read the newest research shows that babies born at 37 weeks can still suffer from respiratory problems (asthma, etc.) but of course there are some babies who can come early and be perfectly healthy. Don't understand it. I think I have just gone into this thing the whole time thinking she would be late...so I'm not getting my hopes for anything to happen anytime soon!


Size of the baby? Around 6 pounds, maybe? My doctor guestimated Tuesday she was actually about 5.5 right now. We don’t get ultrasounds at my practice at this point in the pregnancy unless something is wrong/worrisome/etc. so we really won’t have an exact number until she decides to make her grand entrance to this world!

Maternity Clothes? SAME.


Stretch Marks? SAME.

Movement? SAME.


Sleep? SAME.

Food Cravings? SAME.

What I Miss: Actually, being active/working out…I am so ready to get back to doing something. I’m officially over being pregnant. And I HATE to say that/complain because I’ve had a wonderful pregnancy…but starting around the 35 week mark that all went downhill. Getting out of bed/off the couch HURTS, my belly hurts, I’m swelling…blah blah blah. I’m by no means really “ready” …I want her to bake as LONG as she wants (well, as long as she doesn’t go a week PAST my due date, then I may look at induction) but I am tired of the sucky part of carrying around a human being inside of me! I feel like she is running out of room…my doc said it is normal for me to have a lot of back pain and pressure and stuff in other areas because I am SO short and SO short waisted. There really just isn’t as much room for her in me!

Symptoms: Nada. Nothing had changed at doctor this week.

Best Moment of the Week? My wonderful mom came over last night to iron the crib bedding and finalized organizing the nursery. It is 99% DONE:) My prints are at the framer right now, should be done by Friday and some accessories from RH Baby and Child are due to arrive Friday…fingers crossed! Hopefully everything will be 100% DONE this weekend!

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
