What I Know Now At 31 Weeks...

Here we are at week 31 and I feel like pregnancy is getting harder by the week. I'm not complaining by any means I think I have it pretty good but I won't lie it's getting really hard and taking a lot out of me and I'm just ready to be done. I know it's just going to keep getting harder so I'm trying to stay positive and take advantage of these next few weeks without baby to get as much sleep as possible.

-Sleeping has become almost near impossible. I have never been so uncomfortable in my entire life. At the moment, I am using 3 pillows, one for my head, one for in between my legs, and one to put behind me to support my back a little (not that it really helps). It seems like right when I get all situated and somewhat comfy it's time to get up to go pee, although, it shouldn't even be called "going pee" because about 2 whole drops come out! Because I have to sleep with all of these pillows, I get even more hot then I already am, I could sleep with the window open all night and be perfectly fine but Jesse gets cold and doesn't like to sleep with the windows open. Let's just say sleeping has become quite a task.

- My back aches all day long, and it's painful. I should have bought a belly support band thing a long time ago but I just don't want to spend the money on it, especially now that I only have about 8 weeks left.

- I have passed the "cute" pregnancy stage, right now it's all about comfort. Yes, you will see me wearing pajama pants if I don't have to go somewhere, and yes, I will most likely be wearing one of Jesse's hoodies or a big t-shirt because being comfortable is the most important thing to me right now.. so if you don't like it.. well that's just too bad! :)

- I haven't gotten any stretch marks or weird skin things.. YET.. and I don't have the linea nigra yet either. I am thinking I might see some of these things within the next few weeks because I am growing like CRAZY!!

We had baby class number 2 this weekend, it was the baby basics class. I liked this class better then the labor and delivery class, first, because it didn't scare the crap out of me, and second, because it's just nice to have a review of everything that you'll need to do when your little one comes.

I was able to work on some more projects this weekend, I think I'm just about done in the whole project area of this baby room and I am so excited to see light at the end of the tunnel.

I decided to make another car seat cover, one that drapes over the car seat instead of hugging it, let's just say it was MUCH easier to make then the other one and I think it turned out pretty cute!







Drapes are done! Sweet and Simple!






So... I was pretty sad because I ordered my diaper bag (see older post below for picture) only to get an email from the company saying that the pink bag has been discontinued and they no longer have it in stock. Let's just say I searched a long time for that dang diaper bag and it really was the only one I could find that I was in love with.. so I was pretty bummed about it.. I searched high and low, all over the internet and made a dozen phone calls looking for this bag and no one has it. So I had to get this one. I think it's cute, kinda reminds me of a beach bag-ish.. but cute...

I love your new car seat cover. Your drapes are what I want in my kitchen, but black. I may have to recruit you to make them for me. Don't worry I can pay. I have to pay others for their talents. It is hard to find a diaper bag. I was searching for practically a duffel. I needed a large bag for 2 babies. Hang on girl. Not too much longer.
