Aren't those cake pops {above} adorable?! My sister, Jenna, made them!

Three of my friends have had babies in the past few months and they all brought them!

Holly, Jenna, Grandma, Mom and Stacey

My sisters and sister-in-law threw me a shower this past weekend. They went above and beyond and everything turned out so nice. Over the course of this pregnancy I have been amazed at the outpouring of love from so many friends and family. Ryan and I feel very blessed to have so much love and support from those around us.

I will be 36 weeks on Wednesday (YIKES!!) We still don't have a name. I LOVE the name Mason. Ryan isn't so fond of it. I have decided that I have accept the fact that he won't be named Mason so we can move on and pick one we both like {Sigh}. Cross your fingers for me he changes his mind. :)

I had my sisters sit down with me tonight to make a list of essential items I still need to get so I don't have to send Ryan to the store 3 times a day picking up things as we need them.

What are some essential things that you wished you got before your baby was born?

The Nest

I have been doing some more work on Peanut's room. Ryan put the crib and changing table together. We bought a recliner -actually we found it on Craig's list. I was so excited when we found it. Do you know how much new recliners cost??? Between $300 and $400!!! And that is the low end. I can buy a lot of diapers for $300!! Sooo....I was VERY excited when we found one on Craig's list for 90 bucks!! And it is in really good condition.

I have a few craft projects going on (some even finished). I bought some fabric to cover a couple of cork board. Since I had some extra my talented BFF Shelly helped me make a cover for a pillow. Actually, let's me honest the only thing I did was sew on the buttons (she takes full credit for the creativity of it! Super creative, huh?!).These are the cork boards I made. I was pretty excited with how they turn out. It will be fun to put some pictures on them for Peanut's room.
This is the fabric we are going to use to make the bumper and bed skirt. I know it is not typical baby bedding, but I think it will look really cute. Next step is looking for some fabric to make a quilt.

On Wednesday I will be 34 weeks. I still get really bad heartburn (thank goodness for Prilosec). And it is getting even more uncomfortable to sleep at night. I am busting out of the seams of my maternity clothes. Not sure what I am going to where to work for the next 4 weeks that we have left of school.
