36 Weeks

Hey friends and family! The last couple of weeks have been super busy so I'm sorry I'm a little late on posting this week. Between getting ready for baby, keeping Mace entertained, and getting the house in order I feel like I don't have a whole of time for much else! I was able to sneak in a girls day with friends over the weekend which was really nice. We had been planning it since early fall so it was great to finally see all my old roommates from college. We ended up going to a fun dinner in downtown Grand Rapids, doing Jamberry nails together, and watching some fun holiday movies. It was also nice to sleep in a tiny bit too! :)

I have been starting to have a few signs that baby will be approaching in the next couple of weeks so I actually already packed my bags today! I didn't pack until I was in actual labor with Mace so I learned not to make that mistake again! I really don't know when she will arrive but my gut tells me probably close to after Christmas! Maybe she will share a birthday with her uncle Justin :)

This weekend my sister is throwing me a sprinkle/cookie party is celebration of baby. It's going to be small and fun! I am excited to see some of my close friends and have my sister here with her little ones!

I am getting REALLY uncomfortable so I am really hoping I'm not pregnant too much longer! The baby seems to be all out front so it's really taking a tole on my back! Mace enjoyed being tucked back a little more I think :) Amelia also enjoys my right ribs and is SUPER high in there! I hope that she starts moving down a little soon…eek! This weekend we are going to try and finish her dresser and clean up her room so we can have it about 80% done :) It definitely won't be completely done until probably late winter when I have more time to work on things. I hope you all have a great weekend! I will post lots more pictures next week once I get some time to play around with my camera and actually get this house clean! :) 

I went for a playdate at the mall and across from the play area was a haircutting place that had the kids watching cartoons while sitting in a firetruck! Since Mason has only had one professionally hair cut I decided to give it a try and he did pretty good! Love his new hair style

 I made these for Amelia last week. I have more fabric coming! I am going to use the rest of the fabric to make friends some and put some on my easy shop. Not sure what the demand is right now for stuff like this but it was hard for me to find any under $10 each!

"Mommy eat banana like monkey" He will only eat a banana with the outer layer on it because this is what the monkeys do :)

 My mother n' law Renee redid this beautiful bassinet for the baby! I just bought the mattress for it today can't wait for her to use it! Thanks again Renee!

 I know many of you have already seen this ridiculous photo!! This just shows the reality of what life is like with a toddler. Definitely not all happy times :)

 I put together her comfy insert for her carseat! Thanks Cheri!

 I finally got to meet one of my best friends little guys! His name is Kade and he is awesome! :)

These are my college roommates! Behind is the old house we used to live in. It was HUGE and we have lots of happy memories there. We snuck out of the car to get a quick photo in front of it. Can't believe it's been 10 years since we have lived there…..crazy!
