Progress!

We have been making some seriously legit progress in baby's room over the past couple of weeks and I'm super excited about it! It took all of about 2 hours for me and John's mom to clear out a huge amount of nonsense I've been hanging on to for a looong time and it felt great to finally get rid of it all. So, check it out.

We're moving the drum set out this weekend, and that crib is going to my grandma's house because we're getting a different one. So after that - all that's left to do is PAINT!! I'm so so sooooo excited about painting. We picked the best colors ever (light light pink and green) but I can't find any good examples online to show you. Trust me when I say they're adorable.

We decided to keep the dresser in the closet to save space because it's a pretty tiny room. The whole process is really starting to come together and my brain has been swimming with cute little ideas to decorate once we finally get all the big stuff together. It's times like this that I wish I was craftier than I am. Or at least owned a sewing machine so I could try! Etsy is probably going to be my new bff when it comes to finding really unique adorable items for my baby boo.

In other news, I'm 26 weeks today! Woo! So close to the 3rd trimester! I can't even wait to get this little girl out of me and in to my arms. But I guess it's cool if she stays in there for a few more months and puts the finishing touches on her cuteness.

Go check this out!

I have found some seriously fantastic blogs lately, and I'm loving it. One of my follows, The Undomestic Momma, is a definite favourite. It's always a good read. And now - she's doing a great giveaway! Some lucky someone will be winning a Monogrammed backpack and I think that you should go check it out here! Good luck!! <3

Modern Monday

Today = More baby stuff I wish I could afford.


Just because you're putting dirty diapers in it, doesn't mean it has to be ugly.

Shower Invites!

I should start this out by saying that I hate surprises. I'm wayyy too impatient and bossy to just sit back and let people plan things without at least telling me what they're doing. This being said, I've kind of taken charge of planning my baby shower. Some people have said this is tacky, and that it makes it seem like I'm asking for gifts or whatever, but why would I want to go to a shower I'll have no fun at? That's my theory, at least. And as much as I love and adore my family, I probably wouldn't love everything they decided to do for it.

So, I've been working with my friend Cayla on the shower invites. She is the most amazing scrapbooker ever and is doing a fantastic job. She matched them to the bedding we chose for babyboo and they're seriously perfection. 

Isn't she the best? <3

25 weeks!

Every Thursday, I get really excited because it means I'm another week more progressed! I seriously cannot wait for this baby girl to get here, I'm the most impatient person in the world. I'm pretty much glued to Baby Center. I love it.

So! Here we go with the 25 week update.

I haven't gotten much bigger, but Kaetana has definitely moved down a little more and I've rounded out on the top and bottom. It's nice because up until the last few weeks I've been growing pretty steadily and like I mentioned before, it's put a lot of strain on me.

Her movements have become more subtle over the week, and it's been a cause of new stress for me. At my doctor's appointment Wednesday, they assured me everything was fine and normal and she is doing just grand. Her little heartbeat was 163 and they found it right away which freaked me out because up until now my poor doctor has had to chase her around to find it. After freaking out, I've been told that baby is growing faster than I am and she has a little less room to move around at the moment. So, I pretty much need to stop spazzing about it. I'm way too neurotic for pregnancy.
