Marisol Spoon

Today I discovered a seriously amazing artist shop on Etsy called Marisol Spoon, and I have to say I am in love with these prints. The work is clean, beautiful, unique and overall quite lovely - and there are a few favourites I just might have to get for Kaetana's room.

 

....and this locket is amaaaazing:

*sigh*
I need to stop finding beautiful things online to buy.

36 Weeks

Today I hit week 36! I'm so excited, this means I only have 1 MONTH left until my due date! Commencing freak-out mode right about...now. No, but seriously, I really am so excited. Next week I'll be full term - and she'll be good to come out any time. Though I must say I'd like her to stay in there and cook a little while longer. I'm not completely ready for her yet. :)

I am, however, completely ready to not be pregnant anymore. My body is done, done, done with this carrying around another being thing. Lately it's become really difficult to move around and most days I feel like a beached whale. John frequently has to help me sit up off the couch, or the bed, and nighttime? Forget about it. It usually takes a good minute to actually GET UP out of bed by myself to pee, which I do 5-7 times a night. Not to mention the fact that I've started having contractions only at night while I'm lying down. Apparently that's normal because it's the only time of day where our bodies truly relax and this late in pregnancy that means contractions. They're not fun, but they're not too bad either.

I am in the process of figuring our my birth plan at the moment, as well. It's difficult because there are so many variables when it comes to child birth and I don't really want to get too dead set on a specific plan in case it can't happen. On the other hand though, I see the merit in writing down what I'd like to happen as long as everything goes well and we're both healthy. I may post it up on here when I'm finished, because I need to get it done fairly soon. Because, again, she'll be here any time!!!! I mean max 6 weeks.

Anyways, I hope everyone is having a lovely week! <3

This made me cry!

Okay, so this morning I was lurking the community over at Baby Center and a woman posted this link. The comments were all about how the article made them all weepy and stuff, so of course me being a hormonal pregnant lady had to go look. Well it made me all weepy and stuff, too.

I liked this because the woman handled the situation exactly as I hope to handle any similar situation I come across. Not that I hope to come across any kind of situation like that, but if you're aware of the world we live in, you know I probably will. Anyways, it sucks to know that some people can be so shitty and cruel, and it's a good reminder of what NOT to be.

Scrapbooking!

Some of the supplies!

I've never scrapbooked before, but I've always wanted to. I used to work at Michael's, a craft store in town, and I would spend a lot of time putting away all the crazy cool little supplies and wishing I had the money/time/creativity to actually do one. Well, thanks to my awesome friend Anna, the time has come! One of the (super amazing) gifts she gave me and John at our baby shower was a big ol' box FILLED with supplies to make Kaetana a scrapbook. There's tons of paper, stickers, punch outs...everything you'd need for a really cute, really easy book. I'm stoked, and I'm starting it today! I'm excited! :)

Oh and before I forget - Happy November everyone! <3
