Week 36: The Final Countdown...


So...we're in the final weeks of pregnancy and I thought I'd share what's been going on in the last 4 weeks..

I'm just as surprised as you are that there isn't a Pikachu on here.
Baby shower #1 was a huge success!! I had a wonderful time getting to not only watch people spoil my little dude, but also getting to catch up and see so many people in my hometown that I haven't been able to visit as much and whom I miss terrible!
Yeah, they were pretty excited. :-)
I also got to see family and friends who live kind of far away, so it was even more special! And I got to spend time with my moms.
Grammy, Mama, and Nanny.
I have found that I don't really like calling my husbands mom my mother-in-law...as though it's only "by law" that she is my mother. She has truly been another mother to me since I was 16 years old. Both she and John (Kev's step dad) have always been excellent parents who love their kids so much and truly want the best for them. Same goes for Kev's Dad (also named Kevin) and his step mom Tami. I'm so glad Valentine's grandparents are so awesome. Heck, his whole family is pretty wonderful. I've truly been blessed to have amazing "in-laws."

I wanna be the very best...

Oh yeah, and my amazingly talented friend made this...And you can bet come winter, he'll wear it every single day. And yes...he has 2 Pikachu hats now. ;-)


We also had maternity pictures done 2 weekends ago by my best friend, Elizabeth. I had this great idea to have them taken on the Canal, which is a really cool place that I love to go to, but hadn't gone since last summer because I'd been so busy and, well, pregnant. But I should have scoped it out first, because there was a bunch of construction going on and we ended up walking a TON. But...we got some beautiful pictures.



The following weekend, I went shopping on Saturday with Kev's mom, sister, and my little sister! It was a TON of fun, but again, a lot of walking lol. Then Sunday, Elizabeth came up with the photos that we had put on CDs and we had a fun day at the mall. :-)

GET IT?!! HAHAHAAHAH
Before we had the most amazing cheesecake ever. 
Baby shower #2 is tomorrow, and I'm so excited to see lots of my work friends outside of work! Yay!

Getting my Sewing Grind ON...

So, I recently (finally) got myself a sewing machine! So, in order to get better use to my new toy, I hunted through the depths of Pinterest to find some crafts that I could easily make. Here it is! But with nothing in it yet. I stumbled upon  this tutorial on a site called Crazy Little Projects.  It seemed pretty doable, and didn't require a lot of supplies, so I hit up the JO-ANN Fabrics, got some fabrics with fun pattern options, and figured I'd give it a go! Her blog has a pattern, but I didn't actually use her printable pattern, as I didn't have a printer. But I made my own based on hers, and it seemed to work just fine! I also based mine off of the wipes holder that I already have, plus the space that 2-3 diapers take up. Not too shabby for a first time and being out of practice AND using an unfamiliar machine! I could have done a better job on the velcro lol. The idea for this project actually came to me a while back, when I wanted to take some diap...

Week 32: Summer Time

Well, here's the most current baby bump photo! I'm at work lol. I also got a haircut! It's not really what I wanted, but it'll grow out and be fine.  32 Weeks As far as Mr. Valentine goes, he's looking good. Every doctor's appointment is pretty standard now, with nothing new to report; just a very active baby. He's constantly kicking and punching me. I have been struggling just a tad with the summer heat. But, I've found a genius way around it. Swimming. I did go swimming in a real pool with some friends from work a couple Saturday's ago, but I got a pretty bad sunburn, so I have been avoiding the outside as much as I can since then to let it heal. But I have a back up plan for my house. I hate being stuck inside when the weather is nice (especially since this past winter was never ending!) so I found a children's pool with a slide that I can lay on, sort of like a lounge chair. It can also pull double duty next summer when I have a ...
