Weekend

Monday, March 21, 2016

Chris is clearly super pumped to spend all day at childbirth class!
It is Monday again and I am still pregnant. I was 37 weeks Friday!

Last Thursday at my doctor's appointment I had made zero progress. Graham is still head down and low, but nothing else is happening in the 'signs labor is near' area. Now, I know that all can change in a matter of minutes and that's what makes this whole thing so exciting!

Overall I am feeling well. No major complaints. Hunger has set in and I can't see to get enough food. My carpal tunnel is being controlled with braces and sleep is definitely happening as much as possible.

Friday night we went to dinner with our friends on the McKinney square. We are trying to squeeze in all the date nights and nights with friends that we can.

Saturday we went to a childbirth class and did our hospital tour. Let's just say after watching several unmedicated births, I am 100% sure that is never the way I want to go. Give me all the meds!

Saturday night our really great friend from college came over. He was in town from Houston, so we went to Wing Stop because that was Chris's and his (and their roommates)  weekly tradition in college. It was delicious and we topped it off with a trip to Braum's!

Sunday we all slept in and did errands around the house. I went and got a pedicure and grocery shopped, while Chris did yard work and worked in the garage.

Little man can come any day now, so our weekends will be pretty relaxed and uneventful until he arrives!

Happy Monday!

WIWW: Final Stretch + Link Up

Wednesday, March 16, 2016




How far along: 36 weeks + 5 days. (These pictures were taken at 34 weeks.)

Baby size: BIG...at least he feels that way. According to my app he is over 6 pounds and could be as long as 22 inches! Wow!

Sleep: Sleep is still going way better than I was prepared for. I am waking up more when I change positions, but it takes me all of .3 seconds to fall back asleep. I napped a few times over spring break and it was glorious! 

Belly button: It has not popped, but it feels like it could explode! 

Maternity clothes: This shouldn't even be a question anymore. I really need Graham to come before Texas gets any hotter because I don't have any spring maternity clothes and I don't plan on buying any!!

Movement: All. the. time. I still don't feel him move at night...I'm assuming he is moving and I'm just not feeling him. He does wake up when my alarm goes off and let's me know he is ready for breakfast!

Cravings: Still can't get enough water! And lately I am all about the sweets. I've always been a chip and dip person, but I can't resist all the sugar!

Symptoms: My sweet friend is letting me borrow her carpal tunnel braces and they've been lifesavers! My hands were still killing me all last week, so I finally begged her to bring the braces to me :) They help with the numbness and pain at night.

Wedding rings: Still off. Some days hands are swollen, some days they aren't, but, like I said before, it is like my knuckles have grown.

Looking forward to: His arrival! We are ready! I just can't wait to see what he looks like and hold him! 

Nursery progress: We are so, so close! Waiting on the curtains and a few more things. Nothing is urgent, but I'd really like a rug and a pouf

Appointments: We go tomorrow and I'm hoping I have progressed some more! Last week she has he had dropped and I was dilated, so I know he knows the way out!

Kitchen Reveal || New Counters and Backsplash

Tuesday, March 15, 2016

I have been wanting to show off our kitchen for weeks now, but haven't been able to keep it clean or find time it when there is enough light. Finally, last Sunday I was able to capture our new counters and back-splash. We still have some minor touch-ups, but I couldn't wait any longer!

Before I show you, here is a look back at the kitchen when we first bought the house:



After I stained the cabinets:



Reveal:








I can't wait to change out the decor above the cabinets and stage it a little better, but I had to take advantage of the light! 

The biggest change is that we got rid of the bar behind the sink. Now it is an overhang that people can sit at to eat and it makes the space feel even more open than before.

We are in the works on getting an island made, so we still have some changes we want to make, but this is progress!

Happy Tuesday!
