We took a trip!

We took a trip up to Sequoia National park last week! This has to be my favorite picture from the entire vacation. I'm so grateful for how wonderful my husband has been through this whole pregnancy. While we were up there he kept checking on me to make sure I was feeling alright. He even found me this really neat walking stick (turned souvenir). I hope to share the rest of the trip next week with you! I still can't get over how beautiful it was.

Baby Journal

 

I'm 29 weeks today, and I could not feel more pregnant (hooray!). I have been waddling up and down the stairs all day. My feet are also starting to disappear. I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to tie my shoe. One of the things I have really enjoyed doing during this pregnancy is our baby journal. Every week (I try to do it every week) I write, well type, in our baby journal. I pretty much just journal my thoughts, news, and whatever happened for that week. It has been a great way of keeping track during this pregnancy. It has also been a great way of getting closer to our baby. As I'm writing, I picture our baby one day reading this. It's also fun to look back and see what I was thinking on that week. Eventually I hope to make this into a a photo book.  I got the idea from Hannah, who made the cutest book! I would really recommend it for anyone who's pregnant! I might even continue doing it for the first year.

a picnic

Yesterday afternoon we headed to the park around the block from our house, and had ourselves a little picnic. We sat under a tree and ate sandwiches with strawberries. The tree had the prettiest white flowers falling from it. It really was such a beautiful day! I love that we're able to just get up and go whenever we want. We're trying to enjoy these last few moments of freedom before our Bub arrives. Pretty soon the three of us will be heading to the park!

Some recent pictures of our past week...

Most of my pictures have consisted of food, or a baby bump. That would pretty accurately describe my week. Also we welcomed baby Luke into our lives yesterday. Isn't he precious?! Our baby already has so many future play dates with him. Oh and that would be my husband joyfully sporting our new baby wrap. I think he hates me :)

I made a baby wrap!

I did my very first baby project last night. I made a baby wrap/baby sling! I got the very easy tutorial from Lex over at He and I. I did the no sew one, but I'll probably end up hemming it for a more finished look. The entire thing cost me $10, AND I was able to make two! I'm giving the other one as a gift. These wraps are normally anywhere from 50-80!! So the fact that I was able to make two for $10 is a steal. Now all I need is a baby to put in it :)

What a date night at home looks like

Lately our date nights have consisted of us staying home and watching movies. I'm not sure if it's because I'm pregnant or if I just enjoy my husbands full attention, but I don't mind staying home. Besides, they won't pause the movie at the theaters when I have to go potty (which is a lot lately). I still love going out, but at home I can wear my pajamas! I wonder how different date nights will be once we have the baby. Maybe we should be taking full advantage of the fact that we're free right now. We both agree that it's important to still continue to date, even after the baby. It's a blessing to have both grandparents nearby for babysitting. How do parents do date night? Are we delirious for thinking we can still one?
