April 29th...

Today is Kendall's due date and No baby yet!  When is she coming??

Waiting...

"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...
I'm stand-ing here, outside your door..."

And that, my friends, about sums up our life right now...

-Lyric from "Leaving on a Jet Plane" by Peter, Paul and Mary

Just 10 days left...

Back in August when we first found out we were pregnant I remember thinking April 29th was soooo far away. And here we are already, how did THAT happen? I just can't believe it. But I'm so excited. And so looking forward. To holding the little baby girl who's going to forever change my life. Kendall Avery, mommy can't wait to meet you!!

One thing they don't tell you...

About being 38 weeks pregnant is that it's dang near impossible to tie your own shoes. I've actually walked the dogs in my slippers the last few days because it's easier. Rob helps me with my socks and shoes when he's home but most days I'm on my own. And it totally sucks!

I made it!!

JUST in case you wanted to know...

I'm 37 weeks pregnant TODAY which means I'm now FULL TERM!!

This is very good news!!

I can't wait to meet this little baby of mine!

Hooray!! :)

Great Weekend...

I had a great weekend this weekend.

Did a pregnancy shoot in Issaquah one day and had MY prego pics done by some talented photag friends the other. Lots of pics and bumps this weekend! My memory cards and heart are full.

Our baby furniture finally arrived so we will be picking it up tonight, I'm so excited! Now we can finally start putting the nursery together and get this baby show on the road. Only 7 weeks left, it's time to get organized!

Only the Berry Best...

This ice cream has become my favorite after dinner pregnancy treat. I swear its THE best ice cream I've ever had. It's so fresh tasting, not too sweet, has chunks of strawberries and it's just Soooo good. I love it...

Diaper Cake...

OK, so as you may know my baby shower was on Sunday. And it was soooo AWESOME, I really couldn't have asked for a better shower. One of the coolest things there was the "Diaper Cake" my friend Tierra and her sister made for our baby girl. It was made entirely from diapers and little gifts for Baby K. I just couldn't get over how cool this thing looked! We keep telling Tierra she needs to open an Etsy store and start selling these online! Thanks for my beautiful diaper cake ladies, I loved it!! :)

For Baby M...

Today is my shower for Baby M and I'm really looking forward to it! I'm so excited to see everyone and catch up (cause let's face it, as a prego you get a little out of the loop!) Rob and I wondered for a moment why it was called a shower, because it's not like it rains on the baby? But then we realized it's because you shower baby-to-be with love and gifts from family and friends. I wonder when they started calling them that?

Speaking of Love, I found this cute bench at Michael's Arts & Crafts store. It will go good with the cream, chocolate brown and sage green nursery theme. Her little pink friend was from Uncle Dan. Even though her room will be neutral colored this girl will definitely be pretty in pink! I hope she's a girly girl like me, but if not, that's OK too :)

I never wear flats...

Because I'm short. But it's getting hard to put regular shoes on with this baby overtaking my tummy. So I bought some fugly shoes the other day. Clarkes. Plain black. Boring. Slip on flats. And I'm loving them. Not only are they easy to put on but they feel like absolute "buttah" on my feet. I'm sooo all about comfort right now... So please, excuse my feet for a while.

Martha (Stewart, that is) would be proud...

My good friends Tierra and Heather are throwing me a baby shower and thought it would be cute to send handmade invites. I am soooo not crafty but agreed (and even helped cut paper and stamp, Go Netters!) I LOVE how the invites turned out. Thanks Ladies, I'm so thankful you're throwing me a shower, it's going to be great, I just know it! :) XoXo

Cookin' Along....

Netters--Trying to get a profile shadow of the Bump on a beautiful, sunny day in February (unheard of in Seattle!) To see how my pregnancy is progessing please visit our family blog.

Prophetic...

Last week Rob and I went out for Chinese food.
This was what my fortune said:




The very next night after work I walked to our mailbox. A large box was waiting for me. Full of gently used baby clothes from an old friend I recently connected with on Facebook.

Sometimes the kindness of others amazes me.



Thanks Nicole and Kaleb! That was so sweet of you and everything was so cute. We really appreciated it and I know Baby M will love these! xoxo

Do the Math...

They say you only need an extra 300 calories a day during pregnancy. But you're also supposed to gain one pound a week the last 20 weeks.

One pound=3500 calories

3500 calories divided by 7 (days in the week) = 500

So you REALLY need an extra 500 calories a day.

Good. Now I don't feel so bad about all the mint chocolate oreos I've been eating lately...

You know you're pregnant...

When you try getting filtered fridge water out of the light switch in the pantry.
The funny thing is this is the second time I've done this... Oops.

Jackie Chan's Baby...

I SWEAR I'm carrying Jackie Chan's baby. This kid is constantly on the move!

I miss sushi...

One thing that sucks about being pregnant is you can't have sushi. I especially love Sashimi. It's soooo fresh and healthy. Lately I've been craving all things sushi. Like yellow fin tuna. And Unagi. And spicy tempura tuna & salmon rolls! Thank goodness this place by my house has yummy shrimp summer rolls (and yes, pregos can have the occasional shrimp!). These are a far cry from the real deal but will have to do. For now at least.

Ultrasound Pics...

I finally put some ultrasound pics on our family blog. If you haven't already seen them CLICK HERE to do so. And meet Baby M!
