Baby's Room!

I kept holding this post off because of all the projects I wanted to get done! 
Now the last thing I have to do is make some artwork, but I have been so busy as of late.

So minus the artwork, (which I suppose can call for another post!) here is Baby Boy's room!




I did pack a hospital bag with some cute as heck burp rags, a blanket and baskets my mom made... I will have to post those sometime as well! Paige (my bestie who threw my baby shower) had the great idea to do books instead of cards, so now we have a collection. Brilliant idea, we forgot about doing picture books! 


I think my favorite part is the book collection :D As it grows, we will have to get a book shelf or figure out how to do the mounted bookshelves.



The quilt I made, and the IKEA chair that has a story behind it. Before my DBS surgery (all about it .:here:.) I was super stressed and nervous about having my brain operated on. Being in Denver, the best way Austin and his mom knew how to distract me was to take me to IKEA. We ended up sitting in these chairs *super comfy* and rocking the night away before digging into a ton of swedish meatballs before the "no eating after midnight" thing. Austin and I swore we were gonna get this chair when we had an excuse lol. Well, a baby a few months later was a good excuse! 


IKEA cart! It was my nursing book and supplies stand for a while, but Baby can borrow it for a while haha! SO many cute little onsies and clothes! 


We are choosing to use a bassinet for the time being because bassinet = light and easy to bring into the parent's room during the first few months! Austin's parents have a crib they are giving us and are fixing up for when he's a bit older --super sweet of them! 


I couldn't throw away Paige's decorations! Why not use them to hide some tupperware full of baby supplies?


One of the first things I bought from a friend from nursing school! Hand me downs and used stuff = loads of savings. 


There you have it! I'm 34 1/2 weeks and I swear the kid just lightened on me... (dropped or whatever they call the baby's head becoming engaged in my pelvis. Women's health is not my thing and will never be my thing haha) and I may or may not understand now what they mean by "lightning crotch" haha! It huuuurts! I am hoping he comes sooner than later, but you never know! Especially with your first they can be overdue. 

Hopefully not overdue and with poundage on him because with my DBS units, there has been talk between my doctors and anesthesiologists about not being able to do even an epidural without having to shut my units off. SO natural birth or units off.... that's a great choice! (not) I've been in contact with the DBS center though so hopefully I'll have more options open up. Heck, I'm just excited though to meet the little guy! So bring it on mother nature!! (but you know... be nice about it? Please?)

I will have to post the rest of our home once we clean up from the party! Just like the baby room, we still have to hang artwork but hey. :P 

Still working hard at the hospital, and hopefully my water won't break like a movie scene when I'm in pre-op sticking an IV in a patient hahahaha! I am super nervous about it happening like that, but no complaints! Still playing tennis and moving around (though waddling since Baby dropped!)

Can't wait to meet him!

XOXO

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...

Call Me a SAHM in Training

Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)  Besides a medical leave and two maternity leaves, I’ve always been a full-time plus on call nurse mom. I am now almost two months into being a SAHM and I would have to still say I’m training! A lot of you have told me routine is so important, and I’ve been trying my darndest to do that. We do library time or errands in the morning, naptime and quiet time after lunch, and art and outdoor/indoor active  play until dad comes home! Some days it blows up in my face, much like what we’d call a s-tshow at work, haha! Except these are my monkeys and my circus! But mostly because I am learning and loving it, too. I struggle with anxiety and depression. Ever since I was little. My post-partum depression with R was so difficult. I am so lucky to have an incredible husband and health team that honestly kept me alive during that time. Luckily, I was treated prior to giving birth to A too because a) it was known I get PPD and b) it’s better and easier to tr...

Sunday Eats

Finals are upon us! Wish us luck!  So a little about life lately... or you can skip to the awesome food at the bottom lol. Well, we might need that luck especially cause I kicked a stool on accident in the print lab and broke two toes all crazy like. Then proceeded in my 12 hour no-break printing frenzy standing on them dang toes.... and sick.....lol! That's what I get for not wearing my brace. Good thing we are done with Insanity! That's right, you heard us! Done with Insanity, the 9 week program :D We both are going to take our pictures soon and post them! We are doing hip hop abs for the next two weeks as finals are happening (and it's less intense on my toes) then starting Insanity all over. Yes, we are insane thank you ;) We actually were kind of freaking out because this fall, we apply to law and nursing school! We finish in April, but will hear most likely in the winter where we will head out to.  I might wait to apply until Austin chooses a scho...
