Pregnancy Update: 39 Weeks


I am currently 39 weeks pregnant! Wow...it's been an amazing journey. My due date is Monday June 22nd & I'm already getting contractions. For those of you who are wondering, they aren't that painful yet. At first, they felt like period cramps and then they got a bit more intense, like the feeling you get when you really need to go to the bathroom. I'm not too nervous about the labor & deliver (we'll see! haha...I'm a big baby!) but I'm definitely not looking forward to the recovery process. I guess I'll have to live through it to know what it's really like but the stories I've heard weren't pretty.

I just can't wait to hold my son in my arms, so that I can be reassured that all this pain and waiting was worth it! Any day now, he will be here!

I finally finished painting the nursery furniture. His nursery theme is jungle babies. And my son's name is Jason :-)

I don't recommend using acrylic paint to paint furniture from IKEA. I find IKEA's products to be very cheaply-made, but being on a budget, I didn't feel like buying a whole new set of furniture. The dresser and side table were things we already had lying around. And the lamp was from a yardsale. I just spruced it up with some new paint and decorated it with wooden animal figures. The letter plaques were from Michaels (about $3 each letter) and I bought paint and some wooden animals to go with the theme...this is what nesting looks like hehe!

Decisions, Decisions: Jason's Homecoming Outfit

I LOOOOOVE clothes and I can't wait to be able to dress my little man up in cute little outfits!
I'm still trying to decide what his "homecoming outfit" should be...

I have two outfits picked out already but I don't know which one should be his first.

This one has little lions on it and I like it because it has the mittens and socks already attached. The only thing I need to find is a matching hat. Plus, the outfit matches his nursery theme: Jungle Babies!





The second outfit has little pug puppies on it and a pug onesie from Grandma J. I am so in love with pugs and this shirt is just sooo cute. I'm thinking about framing it after he wears it. I also found matching socks, a hat, sweatpants and mittens to go with it. Ugh! I can't wait for him to be born so we can show-off all his cute clothes! :-)
