Baby Shower Gift Idea Thanks to Pinterest

I found this really cute idea on Pinterest (I'm an addict) of making a Hospital Survival Kit for a first time mom. I finally have a friend here in Moab that is having a baby that I can make one of these for. She is due a month in a half before me with a little girl! 


I took a regular pink gift bag, my zebra tape & some foam letters and put this together

I also found this cute idea on Pinterest and decided I needed to add it to her survival kit (I also think I'll make some for our home when Baby comes home). Because it's a lot nicer way than saying "wash your stinkin' hands before you touch my kid" ;-) I just took a regular hand sanitizer bottle, took off the front label, and put little stickers & little jewels on it.  If you can't read it, it says 
"Sanitize Before Snuggle"

The contents I have added to the kit, from left of picture to the right are as follows:

Nature Valley Bars
Burts Bees Chapstick
A Soap container that has 2 stretchy headbands and 3 hair ties 
A loufa
Fruit Punch gatorade
Fun colorful socks
Coconut Lime lotion
Chocolate Kisses
Breathe Mints
Face wipes
Coconut Lime body spray
Q-tips
Nail Buffer
Compact Mirror
Tweezers
&
Nail Clippers

The final project looked something like this! I'm pretty happy about it if I do say so myself!

29 weeks






This week, Baby is the size of a: Butternut Squash

How far along? 29 weeks 4 Days

Due date: September 3, 2012

Total weight gain/loss: So far 14 pounds, go to the Dr next week

Maternity clothes? Still wearing them, I might be a little sad when I can't wear them anymore, some are just really cute & comfy. 

Sleep: I get about 3 to 4 hours of good sleep and then it's toss and turn and interrupted for the next few hours

Best moment this week: Sending out my baby shower invites to my Lehi shower! & Chris FINALLY being done with school FOR GOOD so we can start on getting this house organized/clean & the nursery done before baby gets here. 

Movement: I feel him a lot more lately, I'm pretty sure I have identified a foot and a possible leg/arm. My mother in law Doricca finally felt him the other day and Amber at my salon felt him yesterday! 

Food cravings: I still don't have any cravings, except for milk, I could drink a whole gallon in literally 3 days by myself, since Chris doesn't like just drinking milk. I have started watching what I eat and I check my blood sugar from time to time. I have to keep it under 140 and the only time it's been over was when we had pizza hut for lunch. Too much white bread I guess..... I have switched to pretty much all sugar free snacks etc and I try to only eat whole wheat breads. We had an ultra sound a couple weeks ago and he is measuring just fine so hopefully he is doing good in there and won't become a big baby because of it. 

Symptoms: Hips still hurt, I think they will for awhile especially after birth. If I stand up straight I can no longer see my feet, but if I bend slightly I can see them again :)

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: Nope.

Belly Button in or out? Still an inny, but you can tell it's starting to stretch

Feeling toward Pregnancy: I'm not going to tell you that my pregnancy has been a piece of cake & I love being pregnant, but it hasn't been that bad. I've known women who were sicker than a dog their WHOLE 9 MONTHS! YIKES!! I'm over 7 months pregnant my blood pressure is still perfect, I have no protein in my urine so Pre-E is no where to be seen, thank goodness!  

What I miss: We are going to Vegas July 7th and I'm definitely going to miss being able to have a congratulatory drink with my babe for finishing school and not looking forward to getting winded after walking just a block on the strip. 

What I am looking forward to: Working on the nursery! Plus, Monday we have our 3D ultrasound to see our little chunky butt! The last ones we had were at 17 weeks and he looked a little alienish! I've been told the 30 week 3D ultrasound looks basically identical to what he will look like! I just hope he is cooperative!


Milestones: I'm pretty proud that as of 27 weeks I had only gained 14 pounds, I know our body will gain what it needs but I find it ridiculous when women down a whole chocolate cake by themselves "just because they can" I'm not like that! I want to stay healthy and then once the baby is out it will be much easier to lose the weight put on.

27/28 weeks!





A little behind but here are the little details that I get on my phone weekly! I wish I would have started doing this at first but O-Well! :) Better late than never!! The belly picture was taken in Vegas at a Nail/Hair Convention. I swear it DOUBLED in size over the 3 days I was gone.
