37 Weeks today! I feel like I have a lot left to get ready (pack my hospital bag, wash baby clothes, etc) but all of the things on my mind will take 15 minutes to do. I just need to do them. My job ends in two weeks (!) so at that point I will have plenty of time to nest and clean and do all the things that are on my mental list. I've loved my job and was so blessed by being able to work from home, but I'm really excited to start my new career:)
Yes, I am aware that there are strange lines going through my belly in those pictures. My sister always makes fun of me because I still wear my pre-pregnancy undershirts and of course they are too short. Oh well.
We spent Memorial Day collecting sea glass on the Chesapeake and what a great time we had. I brought my Zenit with me so I'll have to get those developed soon. I decided a few weeks ago to get the stuff to start making some sea glass jewelry and I made my first piece the other night. I LOVE it. I'm so excited to try a new hobby and have little gifts to send to my friends:)
In other news, I'm finally on Instagram! I got a new phone and am able to pay the same price as my verizon stupid 5 year old flippy phone for a smart phone. So happy to have a phone with a better camera to carry around. If you want to follow along, my username is jmtrovato.
How was your long weekend?

I thought this blog had some good (albeit mouthy) advice about packing the hospital bag. I always brought way more than I needed. Since I was induced with Jack, I packed like I was going on a vacation - it looked like we were moving out when we left the hospital!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I think I will be using that to help sort out my stuff:) Thanks for the link
DeleteI wear a lot of non-maternity tank tops too! The maternity ones are so expensive, and I really mostly need them to cover up top anyway. You're so cute, I can't believe you're almost done! I need to pack bags for the babies (since they will most emphatically NOT be at home while I'm in labor), plus I need to pack a "just in case" bag for myself for the hospital. This is my third time doing it and I'm still always at a loss as to what I'm supposed to bring with me.
ReplyDeleteYou must be supermom, organizing everything for your other kiddos too! Its such a weird thing having to pack for a place you'll be staying at for a few days but is definitely not a hotel. And you don't know when you'll be checking out:) Husbands are good at last minute shopping though right? "I NEED that terry cloth robe, babe!"
DeleteSeriously! I had to restrain myself from buying some nice new soft pajamas at Target yesterday. Ok, I really don't need new PJs for the very off-chance that I'm even gonna need to make a hospital visit. But if I do, I know Peter'll gladly run out for me!
DeleteThanks so much for linking up with us! I love meeting new bloggers :) You look amazing and I'm so happy for you to be starting your "new job!" It's the best job ever!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting Alli! Your too sweet:)
