37 Weeks & My Baby Items

Happy Monday, hope you had a great weekend! 37 weeks...welcome to 'full term!' Can't believe I'm saying that - as there is so much more to do before the arrival of this little one! I have been feeling pretty well for the most part - my hands have started to swell a tiny bit (not much, but enough for me to remove my rings), and everything involving physical movement (stairs, getting out of bed, rolling over at night, hauling in groceries, etc) seems a bit more difficult these days! I am getting very excited to get fully moved (this upcoming weekend), and n-e-s-t! I have been craving more and more sweets (not out of the ordinary for me), and discovered my new, favorite treat - carrot cream cheese cupcakes...yum. If you live near a Native Foods, you must try it! It's vegan, and you would never know (I've never had a vegan dessert before this, and it is one of the best carrot cake/cupcakes I've ever had)


Much of my weekend was spent running errands and testing paint...see what I mean? 


It's amazing how different the color looks once you get it on the wall - some of them look NOTHING like the color on the paint swatch! We have decided on a color, and I'll be sharing more on that soon! 

This weekend, I also finished buying all of the 'newborn essentials' I will need - at least for the first few weeks...I would much rather figure out I need something and buy it after the baby is here, than stock up on 100 items I don't need/will never use. This isn't everything (obviously), and not all of these are among my 'essentials' list ... just a few items I am most excited about! 



Did you do anything fun this weekend?

  4. ohh are those cupcakes soy free too?? I want one sooo bad (wipes drool).

    Love those sheets! I have the life factory bottles, and while we dont use bottles often I really love them. Only drawback for us is the nipple collapses easily with her suction. We didnt buy a high chair yet either, will when we start solids in a few months, but that one has been on my list, let me know how you like it!

    1. I have no idea if they are soy free - but they are delish!

      Yes - I don't plan to use the bottles very often, either, but I like the fact that they are glass, and they can go from freezer to boiling water and in the dishwasher! Wonder if you could buy another nipple to attach.

    1. Me too! I watched a few 'review' videos and they demonstrated the bottle falling onto a wood floor, a cement floor, and a tile floor without breaking! Fingers crossed! :)

  8. oh my gosh, I bought the same tub for my first baby, supposed to be more natural feeling, it was a total disaster! Couldn't hold baby up and bathe her at the same time. Went out and bought the old standard the next day. Hope you have better luck with it!
