Maternity Leave

I cannot believe it! I am officially on maternity leave. It has been almost 4 years since I have had more than a week off work...Now I don't have to go back till January! I sure hope Bee decides to make her appearance soon though because I don't know what to do with myself. I always thought I would enjoy having nothing to do all day, but there is literally nothing for me to do. And there is never anything good on TV. I have finished everything I need to...like 2 weeks ago.

Bedding... Check

Car seat cover... Check

Nursery... Check

Diaper bag... Check

Hospital Bags... Check

Scrapbook... Check

Organize Closet... Check

Diapers... Check

Wipes... Check

Body wash, lotions and creams... Check

Everything else... Check

What am I supposed to do now?!?!?!

Ready!

I have been lucky and have had a pretty easy pregnancy. I never was very sick and didn't have complications to worry about. Bee has always been a busy girl moving constantly, she always lets me know she is still "kicking" if I get a little worried.

Now I am 38 weeks and so ready to be done. I can never get a good night sleep anymore because I just can't get comfortable. I am always having to go pee, multiple times in an hour. I have to adjust my sitting positions constantly because my back is killing me. When I lay down on my side I can only be there for a little bit because that side gets sore so I need to switch.

Bee is already in trouble for not making her appearance. I vote she comes on Thursday, but it might not be for 3 weeks! We are so ready for her to be here already, I am a very inpatient person.

Please send my all your positive thinking and maybe she will get the idea.

Thank you.

The Nursery!

I decided to make the bedding for Bee's room (bumpers, blanket, bed skirt, a couple pillows). I also made a car seat cover but don't have pictures yet. I looked everywhere for some cute bedding and everything I found was over $200, and I wasn't going to spend that. So I looked everywhere for fabric, I really wanted to do pink but I couldn't find any that wasn't super baby. But I did find all this fabulous purple fabric and I LOVED it. So I had to change my color scheme for decorating. I ended up with the finished product! I made a couple of things for the wall above the changing table for all her hair clips, but don't have a picture quite yet.


This is the bedding...
This is the blanket before I finished it. I used all the left over scraps, it was fun!


Here is the Moses Basket she will be sleeping in, with her Bee stuffed animal

I convinced Greg to let me get a Coach Diaper bag...I am going to be carrying this around as my purse for the next while. I thought I deserved it

This is a super cute chair that Greg's mom made for Bee. She is very talented with crafts

I am so excited how everything turned out for her room. I just can't wait to see her in it!

My Baby Showers!

I was lucky enough to have two fabulous showers! My lovely sister held one for me back home in California. Amber did such a great job planning everything, I am so lucky!

Lizzie and Stef....two of my best friends from High School. We had the best senior year ever! I would go back to High School with them in a second!

Where lunch was served with tasty deserts!

My parents family room where I opened my gifts. I was very fortunate with everything I received.


The next weekend up in Utah my amazing friend Lauren held a shower for me in her home. She had such a delicious lunch prepared with yummy cupcakes.

The guests! I am so grateful for everyone that was able to make it.

My showers were so much fun...but not as much fun as I will have putting all those gifts on Bee!
