36 Weeks



We were laughing hysterically when Luke wanted a turn!

Baby Care class at Hoag

Assembling the pack and play!

Ladies night! My margarita was a virgin :(

Cutest Children's Bakery in Newport! $9.75 per Cupcake, CRAZY!
So excited to be 36 weeks and almost to the end! I absolutely cannot wait to meet our little munchkin :) It's been really nice continuing to work because it keeps me distracted from the back pain and allows me to focus on the kids at school. I'm going to try and make it until the 27th of May (assuming Ella doesn't come early). I feel so fortunate that things are going really well. Luke has been working his butt off and it's paying off..... the timing couldn't be better :) Not to mention, a couple of our best friends just moved back from the East Coast and will be nearby again, woohooo! Andrew & Kara, your timing is impeccable!

Every weekend Luke is putting together another baby project. This weekend we assembled the pack and play and are working on installing the car seat bases. Those are pretty much the last things and then we are ready to go! My mommy friends have all recommended getting everything ready before baby comes so it's not super stressful when she's here. I'm determined to do just that! We did our baby care class at Hoag and it was awesome! They are pricey but I definitely recommend them because they are so informative :) I wish we had done the labor class there as well. We got to swaddle and diaper the dolls. Luke was much better than I had anticpated and is an expert swaddler! We just have to work on not covering up the belly button nugget when diapering :) We have two doctor appointments this week. Tuesday is to see the status of the kidney infection and on Friday we have an ultrasound to make sure the baby has not gotten too big! I can't wait for Friday, I just want to see her again SO bad. This week was especially tough and uncomfortable so I am looking forward to having a better week starting tomorrow. I had a great ladies night on Saturday which is just what I needed. I love you Kimi & Janelle :)

  1. I'm glad you are hanging in there! Definitely work as long as you can, as long as it isn't a health threat - because it will make your time go by faster, and you will have more time afterwards with the baby. (Are you going back to work after??)
    So... Now could you imagine there being TWO in there?! How much do you appreciate your mom?!
    I know you have mommies that can help you but if you need any advice, give me a shout!
