The Nursery Tour May 25, 2012

Our place is only two bedrooms and for six years, we’ve enjoyed having a large office we could both hang out in.

But when we found out we were having a baby, we got to work transforming it into something the baby could hang out in too! And now, it’s finally done and we are so in love with our new space.

AFTER:

We can’t even believe it’s the same room. We love the bright sage walls, the big open floor and the cute little deer!
When you walk into the room, to the left is a closet (half baby/half storage), some shelves and the crib.

To the right of the crib is the changing table/dresser.
IMG_3104

All stocked and ready to go! (The teacher of our Newborn Class recommended using Viva Paper Towels and water instead of wipes to avoid diaper rash… so we’re going to give that a try!)
IMG_3105

Inside the drawers are all the cute baby clothes, socks and blankets. I am not sure if I like how it’s organized yet, I’m sure that will be a work in progress.

The Diaper Genie and extra diapers are to the right of the changing table.

Next to that, is the matching lamp. We switched out the bulb to be dimmable so we can turn it on at night without waking the baby.

Right under the window is the pull-out sofa for sleepy parents and guests.

And the right side of the room is what’s left of our ‘office’. Paired down to one desk and one shelf. (Used to be two HUGE L-Shaped desks and four sets of shelves!)

We still have our printer and some computer parts that spilled over onto the baby’s book shelf, but for now, it still works.
IMG_3115

The only thing left to do in the room is hang some decorations above the crib/changing table. It looks a little bare at the moment, but I have big plans. I’ll unveil as soon as it’s done!
IMG_3094

For the first 2-3 months, the baby will be sleeping in our room in a pack & play.
IMG_3117

Also stocked with diapers and wipes!

Technically, we have 15 days until the due date, but my doctor doesn’t think I’ll make it that long. We’ll see!!!

My Kelocity Baby: 37 Weeks May 20, 2012

Filed under: Baby — Kelocity @ 9:14 pm
Tags: ,

As I’m posting this, I only have 20 days til my due date!!! The excitement is definitely building and I’m on the lookout for any and all signs of labor (but so far, nothing yet!) This weekend, we really finished just about everything on our to-do list and it feels great. So now, we just wait!
IMG_3044

How I’m feeling: Still feeling pretty great. I do get tired at the end of the day, but I’m still keeping up and for that, I am grateful. I went to Yoga this week and did a couple of longer walks and they all felt great. But by the end of the day, I’m happy to put my feet up. Still feeling lots of squirms, tiny kicks and baby hiccups. And this week also marked my first ‘cone-shaped’ belly. Baby has been hanging out on my right side during the whole pregnancy and now you can SEE my whole stomach shift when he/she stretches out.

Weeks along: 37 Weeks  
IMG_3059

Pounds Gained: 17.9 Total
30 Weeks  IMG_3049

Pregnancy Woes:

  • Charlie Horses during the night
  • More frequent bathroom breaks (both day and night!)
  • Trouble sleeping at night since I can’t really roll left to right anymore. HAHA

IMG_3045

Pregnancy Loves:

  • I think the baby dropped a bit this week? (I can’t see it, but people told me they noticed!) My heartburn has been a little bit better and I feel more movement lower in my belly than before. This makes me excited because I know it means we’re getting closer to the big day!!
    IMG_3050
  • Frozen Yogurt! I’ve been looking forward to this all week!! (Gooey brownies, cookie dough and gummy bears! YES!)
    0520022004
  • Still on a fruit and cereal kick too.

Items we got for the baby:

  • We got a new Glider for the bedroom!! Irving spent all afternoon on Mother’s Day putting it together for me! I love it!
    WP_000030
    Testing it out in the store!
  • My friend, Courtney, made this awesome quilt for the baby!! I am so in love. I love, love, LOVE it!

    Photo and puppy belong to Courtney!

Highlights of the week:

  • Finished Birth Plan and discussed with doctor! Everyone says to make a plan and be prepared to throw it out the window, but I feel better knowing I’m going in somewhat prepared, but I’m not going to freak out if it doesn’t end up working out as we envision it.
  • Installed Car Seat!
  • Went on a nice 3 mile walk this morning!
    WP_000044
  • Finished Nursery!! (I promise a tour by next week!)
  • Picked out Baby’s coming home outfit! We have three options, in case the baby ends up being bigger or smaller, but this one is a frontrunner!
    IMG_3093
  • Started packing the hospital bag! That is way more overwhelming than I thought. It’s hard not knowing the exact date we’ll need it! I don’t want to pack too much and then have to wait three weeks and need the things inside! But I also don’t want to be running around if it happens to be earlier! But it’s started… and we have a list. So hopefully we won’t forget anything!

We had fun playing on escalators this weekend in Hollywood!

Goal for this week:

  • FINISH packing the hospital bag
  • Keep working on pregnancy photobook
  • Relax!

One of the many life changes that comes with having a baby I guess.

 

New Kicks!! May 15, 2012

For Christmas, I got the best giftcard EVER and I’ve been dying to redeem it! It was for Converse to customize my own pair of shoes!!!! I’ve NEVER owned a pair of Converse shoes. Ever. (I know, right?!) I was seriously SO excited about this. It was a big decision and it took me 5 months to decide what I wanted!

I had one pair designed that had one color on one side and another color on the other… but I didn’t want to get too crazy, so in the end, I ended up with a sweet pair of magenta and grey kicks:
converse_side2

I designed everything from the laces, to the grommets, to the stitching color. I LOVE them!
converse_front

My favorite part? I branded them with KELOCITY on the back. HAHA Awesome. Now no one can steal my shoes. #Winning

Mama is proud. =)
