Avocado Saver!?

Have you seen this? An Avocado saver? While out shopping this week I saw this avocado saver for 4.00. I never seen it before so wanted to try it out.

At lunch yesterday I only had half a avocado and saved the other half with the pit.  It fits perfectly in the avocado saver.

It actually works! So glad I have that now.



I also got 2 small pumpkins! Next week I will buy big ones! Tomorrow is the first day of fall!

My Baby Shower!

Yesterday was my Baby Shower!

My Sister organized it and she is the one that did the baking too! Looks awesome huh!

Lots of pics below!

 

 

 I have a huge family.  We had 65 people in total. We rented this old town hall to hold the event and it was perfect. It was a fun afternoon!

 I got everything and anything for baby K, you name it, I got it!

 My niece was my little helper, she loved opening all the gifts.

 Lots and lots...

I have all the baby things scattered around, I put most things away in my hallway closet aka Baby stuff closet.  Some things for later use in the basement ,and of course all the clothes in the basement ready to be washed. I have a big basket full of blankets, and 1 laundry basket over flowing with newborn to 3 month clothes and another basket for 6-9 month clothes. 

Baby K is soo loved and everyone is soo excited to meet him! We are so blessed with amazing family and friends. 

I also got many gift cards, so next purchase will be a good Breast pump!

33 week OB Appointment, Questions for the OB.

 Today I went for my 33 week OB appointment. Doctor said that my last ultrasound was perfect! Baby is growing as he should! I asked her about the new aches and pains and she said they are all normal :) I'm feeling pressure (down there) she said it's ok and doesn't mean early delivery, just that baby is in down position and my body is preparing for it.

I asked her again about sleeping on my back (the only way i feel comfortable) all the books say not to... she said it's totally fine! So continue to do what works for my body.

I also asked her about taking DHA/EPA supplements during my third trimester. She said she does not recommend them if they are coming from a fish source because of the mercury. She said to look for veggie based ones at the health food store. Everything I read says it should come from fish like Salmon. (which I ate before but now can't stand) I guess I will try and keep my diet balanced as much as I can... only 7 weeks left to go!

Yesterday I started my scrapbook for my pregnancy journey. My husband laughed because I put Zoe in it too. LOL She was our first FURBABY! so of course she needs to be in it!

 Fall is almost fully here!  I can't wait to see the leaves change! Yesterday I went looking for pumpkins haha! I know it's early! No one is selling them anyway! So I bought these flowers to go in the pots for now... Until I find pumpkins.... I will be the first to buy them ahah!

I love Fall!

Cravings and Nesting during my pregnancy

Yesterday I was craving my grandma's Milk Rice. So I decided to make it! And while I was making it, I ran out of milk haha! No worries, I stopped the process, and ran out to get more!.  It tasted exactly them same!

During my whole pregnancy I craved a lot of my childhood foods... Nutella, Milano cookies, My grandmothers cooking... and much more. Mmmmm I'm now hungry hahaha! Did you have cravings like these, from your childhood?

Like I mentioned before, my nesting stage has completely taken over... I get overwhelming joy at looking at organized closets, I open them a couple times a day just to look.. haha crazy person
Am I the only one that paces the house looking in drawers and closets to organize?

52 more days ....

Weekend of great weather and family

 The weekend was beautiful. The weather was perfect. Yesterday we went for a walk by the lake.  It was soo nice. I know the grass is always greener on the other side, but I really wish we lived there in front of the lake. It's such a great vibe down there.  I just love the energy nature gives us. I felt so good after our walk. I even got a little sun burn on my nose.

Saturday we went to visit my grandparents.  They were making tomato sauce, it's the season. They are soo cute. I took a couple jars for myself ahahh. mm mmm.

Sis and I

My SIL's dad is sick in the hospital. We really hope he get's better soon :( The hospital he's at is not too far from my house so afterwards on Saturday night, my brother stopped over our place.

My niece is just too adorable! She can take 3 steps alone but then sits to crawl, cause she is super quick at crawling ahhah.  She loves Zoe too. She calls her doggie, hahha. Zoe is pretty good with her, so I think Zoe will have no problem adapting to baby K!

She is soo active crawling and touching everything! My brother was taking things away from our living room and putting them up on a higher counter haha. She was finding things on our floor like pens and playing with it. She was even trying to open the cupboards too. Watching a toddler is exhausting, and you can't have your eyes off them!  :)

Baby B and Zoe

We also went to visit husbands family for lunch yesterday. His dad got them all a shirt for his painting company. Look how cute they all are. We need one for Baby K too.

Craving: I'm getting weird cravings.. yesterday I wanted Pizza and ice cream and french fries! And also wanted to buy pumpkins (which are not for sale yet, well early this week they weren't, I'll check this week haha)

I'm also in the crazy crazy part of nesting. I've cleaned all my closets and made soo much space around the house ahaha. I feel much better now, knowing where all the baby things will be around the house and in the closets neat and tidy... for now ahahh. 

Yesterday a friend and I (Stef over at http://www.believinginserendipity.com/ )
went out for lunch :) Just the 2 preggos haha!


She's due in 18 days! Soo exciting!!!!!!!

Look at this super cute charm she got me for my birthday. I love it! It's a pacifier!


She was also able to get me a discount on a Kitchen Aid Mixer! I was soo excited when she told me. Makes me want to bake up a storm really really soon ahahh!

Tomorrow i'll be visiting my grandparents, haven't seen them in a while! My grandma had shingles and her doc told me to stay away for 3 weeks. So I'm happy to go see them tomorrow. And happy to eat her delicious food haha!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

31 week ultrasound

 Yesterday we went for my 31 week ultrasound! Baby looks all cozy in this belly. We saw and heard his heartbeat, saw his weewee haha and saw him kicking around in there.  We didn't get any pics tho.  Lady said she couldn't get a clear shot for a picture (whatever, the ultrasound place is super annoying) I was just happy to hear and see him, so I didn't yell haha.  She said his head is down and he was curled up so his feet are facing my right side.

Last night I couldn't sleep at all. I'm most comfortable on my back, but I think the weight is now pressing on my ribs and back muscles and it hurts! Then we had miss kitty meowing like crazy at our bedroom door, I think she heard me tossing and turning and wanted in. Now she's all cozy on the couch sleeping, must be nice to be her huh ahah!

I love summer, but this preggo is happy for the cooler weather.  I was running out of summer wear that fits! For fall I have all my sweaters that will fit fine so it will be much easier to dress this growing belly for fall. And FALL is my favorite season anyway so I'm looking forward to it! :)

Tomorrow I'll be 32 weeks! That means 8 weeks to go! 57 more days!
