39 weeks.. Here Comes Lucy!

How far along? I made it to 39 weeks so I'll do a final post! I still can't believe it! 

 

Total weight gain/loss: not going to lie... 43lbs total. I never got a final weigh in with Landon.. So tracking my weekly weight for Lucy was a little startling. But I must say, the weight has literally melted off. 

Maternity clothes? Yes! A few weeks ago I complained that my thighs touched and it was the most uncomfortable feeling.. A few days ago, I came up with a simple solution and I still can't believe I went this long without discovering it.. I used 1 light pad to stick onto my thigh.. Viola.. What a life changing discovery! 

Stretch marks? Nope!  

Sleep? no!! I started feeling contractions 2-5 minutes apart between 1-6am... It wasn't strong enough to go into the hospital. After the 3rd night of it, I decided to wait until morning to call the OB. I literally spent the last week with minimal sleep! 

 

Best moment this week: my sweet baby girl arrived!

Miss Anything? I miss nothing about being pregnant!! Sushi here I come!

 

Movement: she was moving a ton!

Food cravings: the level of spicy is insane. I've never eaten this much spicy food in my life. also fruit.. tons of fruit!

Anything making you queasy or sick:seems like a feel a little nauseous during the night.

Have you started to show yet: you cannot miss me... I'm huge. 

Gender: sweet baby girl!

Labor Signs: labor came and went! I'll post a birth story this weeknd! 

 

Belly Button in or out? Its still hanging on to "in"

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm am all smiles! 

Looking forward to: Life with 2 under 2!

So here is a sneak peak of my sweet love:

38 weeks... Let's go Lucy...

How far along? 38 weeks... how the heck did I make it this far!! Now we are on a mission to get her out!

 

Total weight gain/loss: not going to lie... 40lbs. eek!

Maternity clothes? yes!! omg and its soooo hot out. I hate the feeling of my thighs touching too... so I invented something for myself. it is awesome!

 

Stretch marks? Nope!  

Sleep? no!!! (cue waterworks) I'm averaging about 3-4 hours a night. I sleep with ice packs because I'm a mobile oven.... I'm hot from my head to my toes. it almost hurts. I'm miserable!

 

Best moment this week: they assigned me an induction date!!!

Happy or Moody most of the time: my sister said I've been "scary bitchy" lately. I've been really snappy and moody lol.

Looking forward to: May 27th.. when shes evicted.

Landon is 23 Months

Ummm in a few weeks I'll have a 2 year old. Where did the year go? 

Weight: The last week, he weighed in at home at 26.5lbs. 

 

Health: very very healthy! 

 

Diet: every thing we give him... He will eat. We aren't drinking much milk these days.. Maybe just 9oz of almond milk and  14oz of water...  Oh and he ate his first whole apple!

  

Social: He went through an anxiety stage... He doesn't like to be picked up from behind and he gets pretty clingy with my side of the family. He cries when he sees my mom... Stuff like that. 

 

Sleep: wakes up around 8:30... Nap at 1... Sleep by 8. Although this week he's been going to bed around 9.. Sometimes 10.. We've been going with the flow because he will be shuffled around when Lucy arrives.

Crying: he's got stranger anxiety or anxiety with people who are not his parents.

 

Loves: dinosaurs and pop up books. 

Clothes: size 18 & 24, some 2T. Shoes 6. 

 

Milestones- cleans up, puts his empty dish into the sink, helps throw trash away and unloads the dishwasher 

Must Haves: green smoothies (he calls "joose"), Dinosaurs, walks and cookies.

Teeth: 15! I felt 1 back molar so looks like his last set of teeth are coming...lots of extra drooling. We doubled up on his amber necklace!

I'm spending as much time as possible with my little loves before our 2nd baby arrives! I think he's adjusting to the idea of a new baby. He understands the concept of baby and he's been seeing me hold my niece. So we will see!!! Any advice on how to ease the transition would be great! 

37 Weeks: Lucy is Full Term!

How far along? 37 Weeks 4 days... Ughh she's still baking... I know this is creepy but it's so hot so here we go with another beach photo! 

Total weight gain/loss: 37 lbs. Yea.

Maternity clothes? Yes! It's soooo hot I have to wear shorts under my dresses because I hate the feeling of my thighs touching!

Stretch marks? Nope!  

Sleep? Barely!!! I literally can't fall asleep until 1am.. And I'm tossing and turning through the night with very painful pelvic pain!

Best moment this week: celebrating Mother's Day! My own Mother's Day wasn't so great.. But we did celebrate with my mil who is visiting and my own mom. 

Miss Anything? A nice cocktail! 

Movement: she's moving around a lot and I love it!

Food cravings: pound cake, ice cream sandwiches, watermelon, siracha (weird because I can't eat spicy food), vietnamese sandwiches and burgers! 

Anything making you queasy or sick:seems like a feel a little nauseous during the night. 

Have you started to show yet: you cannot miss me... I'm huge. 

Gender: sweet baby girl!

Labor Signs: yes! I'll see my doc tomorrow but as of last Wednesday, my contractions have stopped.

Belly Button in or out? It is literally at the edge... It's kind of freaking me out! While wearing clothes.. It looks out.

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time:happy!

Looking forward to: My massage tonight! 

Lucy's Nursery Reveal

I'm finally finished with Lucy's nursery! I'm so glad my Inlaws came back for a visit! They helped me finalize all the artwork! 

I knew I wanted a coral and gold theme. I didn't want any animals but I wanted it to be creative! 

With the first inspiration... I felt that her closet was too big. Sounds silly I know, but she won't need such a big closet for the first 10 years of her life. So my father in law built her a beautiful nook! It is seriously amazing! 

We kept the dressers that were in the room. We repainted it coral and they really helped the nursery pull together! 

I spent a lot of time thinking about her crib, bedding, rug and wall art. 

We went with the jenny Lind crib which I love!!! It's affordable and super cute! 

Our crib sheet and skirt is from pottery barn and our gold dotted sheet set is from land of nod (i invested in the toddler set because it comes with a flat sheet and pillow case which I'll utilize later!)

The letters are from land of nod. I made the flower mural by using my cricut machine and cardstock! So easy and the flowers really pull the wall together! My awesome coral rug is from cafepress.

Side table is part of the dresser set. The lamp is from target, stuffed rabbit is from jelly cat and the vintage inspired radio is from Anthropologie. 

We basically stole Landon's rocking chair this morning and trust me... He was not a happy camper. He was so pissed that my Inlaws offered to buy Lucy a new one! The quilt is from "Nooches" (etsy). Pillow is from "sukanpillows" (etsy). I made the stuffed rabbit and our curtains are from pottery barn. Curtain tie backs are from "the chic decor shop" (etsy). The ball thing is from target. 

The changing table/dresser: this wall is still in progress but it's almost done! 

Changing pad cover, heart shaped shelf and diaper/accessory tray is all from Land of Nod. The accessory frame is from MonCheriShop (etsy). I made the 2 pieces if artwork. Which I love! 

We filled her heart shaped shelf with goodies I had around the house. 

We will finish the room with her going home outfits framed and possibly some photos! Other than that, I'm completely excited about how it turned out and I hope she will love growing up in her room! 

36 weeks: still baking

How far along? 36 weeks. We thought for sure she was coming last week... But my water hasn't broke! 3 cm dilated and 70% thinned. Contractions are here and there but not strong and consistent enough. So I'm still sitting here.. Waiting.

Total weight gain/loss: 34lbs! 

Maternity clothes? Yes and I'm so tired of clothes in general. I'm a freaking oven and want to sit around only in my underwear. 

Stretch marks? Nope!  

Sleep? Ughh it's 90• here and I keep waking up feeling like I'm on fire!!! I have the windows open and the fan blowing and my poor husband sleeps with 3 blankets!

Best moment this week: spending some quality time with Landon before Lucy arrives. 

Miss Anything? A nice cocktail! 

Movement: she's moving around a lot and I love it!

Food cravings: pound cake, ice cream sandwiches, watermelon, siracha (weird because I can't eat spicy food), vietnamese sandwiches and burgers! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: seems like a feel a little nauseous during the night. 

Have you started to show yet: you cannot miss me... I'm huge. 

Gender: sweet baby girl!

Labor Signs: yes! Dilated to 3.. 70% thinned and my contractions are ranging between 7-15 min apart.

Belly Button in or out? It is literally at the edge... It's kind of freaking me out! While wearing clothes.. It looks out.

Looking forward to: Getting her out! All packed and ready!
