#currentsituation . . .

I'm having lunch as I am writing this and I seriously cannot tell if I'm having a contraction or if it's just gas. Yes, this is my second baby, how can I not know what a contraction feels like? We'll let me tell you it feels like you're cramping and you have to poo all at once. It's like the worst menstrual cramping of your life.  I googled it for you guys in case you don't believe me (see image below). 

So we are ready to welcome our baby.  I am 37 weeks so I am full term.  Dr says baby may be here next week.  We are so excited to give baby Niko a sibling!  The baby will be in our room and Niko will get his own room.  We have been working on Niko's room the last two weeks.  So far no bueno.  I ordered a toddler bed and Niko slept in it a total of 3 hours one night, he usually sleeps through the night in his huge joovy 2 play plen so we went to ikea and purchased a full sized bed.  Daddy has to paint it now and I have to order a mattress.  AHHH! So I guess we still have some stuff to figure out.  We don't want Niko in room with new baby.  Niko is a perfect little sleeper and we don't want to disrupt his sleep. 

My bag is packed but I decided I needed a new diaper bag so I ordered one but didn't like it so I sent it back and ordered a new one.  Also, I am not sure I love the shoes I bought to leave the hospital in so maybe new shoes? I still need to get nails done.  Bikini wax and eyebrow wax are done.  William says I need not worry about his bag so I won't. 

Ahh! That's all I got for now.  V and I are going to the movies tonight . . . I think.  We are going to watch Batman V superman or whatever.  I know we are super late but better late than never!

Tootles!

Milkies

Milkies = Milk + Cookies

A friend of mine passed along a recipe for lactation cookies.  They are supposed to increase your milk production.  I swear after I ate them I felt like I was producing more but it could have just been my brain being tricked.  Here's a link to the recipe.  I am just posting the pics but they are super easy to make and super delicious.  Enjoy!  There's no breast milk in the cookies I just added the breast milk for wow factor, like WOW look at all that breast milk.  

One month in . . .

For the last month my life has consisted of breastfeeding, changing poopy diapers and doctor's visits. The days go by so fast! We've gone shopping a few times with baby but we always make sure it's during the week. Less people. Baby K is the cutest little man I've ever met and he's such a good baby. Mamma couldn't be prouder. He looks a lot like me but seems to have inherited his dad's laid back demeanor, at least for now. 

I'm so happy! Friends and relatives stop by to meet our little boy and since he was born we receive at least a package a day, a gift for our little one. It makes me happy to know people care about us. 

I'll be posting an outfit blog soon but for now here are my favorite baby related pics.
