Pregnancy Week 37

 

How Far Along: 37 weeks; 9 Months.

Size of Baby: Uncomfortably big...

 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 20-25 lbs

Maternity Clothes: I am about to burst...so even my maternity clothes are getting tight!

Baby-related Purchases: Recent purchases include a changing pad, huge box of wipes, a summer outfit for baby and some comfy pajamas for me while I am in the hospital.

Gender: It's a GIRL!

Movement: She is an extremely active baby but has definately slowed down within the past week.

Sleep: Comical really...Sleep. Hmm, sounds familiar but I'm not quite sure what "sleep" is. If you mean sitting up against four pillows in bed with a another pillow on top for my head and dozing off...then yeah, I guess I get some sleep.

What I Miss: Having a glass of wine. Fitting into my clothes. Having a bra that fits. Not having heartburn.  Sleeping in a relatively normal position. A full breath of air. Falling asleep at a decent hour.

Cravings: Wint o' Green Mints-Life Saver Brand...and soap is sounding pretty tasty. ICE!

Symptoms:

• Still thirsty!
• Feet are swollen and look like Marshmallows.
• Whiney and weepy
• Tired!
• A little irritable.
• My back hurts most of the time now.

 

Managing the Stress: Baths in the whirlpool tub.

Worries: That she will never come out! Bills....the usual.

What I Look Forward To: Meeting my new baby...and not being pregnant.

 

Names: I have two names in mind but we are not choosing the final name until she is born. Still debating on the middle name (Autumn, Grace, Rose and Catherine).

 

Story of the week: My feet and ankles have been really swollen the past couple of days. Cankles-seriously! Yesterday I came home from work and they were the worst yet. I loaded my son Charlie's old baby tub with warm water and epsom salt and put my feet in. Charlie was watching the whole time, a strange/concerned look on his face. He asked very sweetly if my feet felt any better. I answered honestly, "not yet." He grabbed my mint scented foot lotion that I set out for after my soak and he asked what it was. After I explained to him what it was for, he set the bottle down and ran off down the hall towards his room. He came back with a towel from his bathroom and handed it to me. The water was a little too warm and didn't seem to be helping so I thanked him for the towel and dried my feet off. He grabbed the bottle of lotion again and asked if he could help me by putting it on my feet.

 

My 6 year old son asked me if he could put lotion on my feet...
 

I could have cried! It was the sweetest thing EVER! I smiled really big and said "of course!" He smiled back and put the lotion on my feet with his cute little hands. With a happy look on his face he asked if my feet felt better. I gave him a huge hug and told him they didn't hurt anymore...and honestly, that was the truth!

 

I have the best son in the world! Such a sweetheart!

 

 

Bountiful Baskets, Homemade Cleaners & Frugal Spending

Our first time to participate in Bountiful Baskets was successful!
We took home several oranges, a ton of pears and apples, squash, a yam, grape tomatoes, bananas, zucchini, cabbage, spinach and cauliflower. 

We did spend an hour at the location, but for $15...it was worth the wait :)

And because we were up so early, we dropped off our tax info., picked up several books at a local bookstore and were home before 11am!

After watching a documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, the hubbs and I have been increasing our intake of fruits and veggies and have stopped buying pre-packaged food. We knew that the prepackaged food probably wasn't the healthiest thing for us, but we honestly didn't realize exactly how bad it really is.

We have also been juicing-EVERYTHING-from sweet potatoes to collard greens. I bought a Jack LeLaine juicer about 3 years ago and for some reason, it wasn't juicing like it was supposed to so I hid it away. The pulp always came out dripping wet. Well, I dug it out to test it out before investing in a new juicer and we figured out that we were using the machine incorrectly. Now that we know what we are doing, the machine works perfectly!

Along with our endeavor of becoming more health conscience, we are being a bit more frugal. We have a baby coming in May and still have the same ol' bills coming each month. We are trying to find ways to cut back without suffering for it.

Budget
This is the best place to start. Make a list of your incoming bills and list everything that is a monthly occurrence. Then list all of your other expenses (gas money, groceries, date nights, dining out, clothes, etc.). 
Keep track of everything you spend for one month and fill in your list. See where you can cut back and then set a budget for your other expenses.

Grocery Shopping & Menu List
I make a menu for every week of the month, write down the ingredients on a list and head to the grocery store. I buy exactly what is on my list and nothing else! I clip coupons (but buy no means am I into the whole extreme-couponing thing) and I use an app called ibotta (paper-free coupons that earn you money and can be transferred to your paypal account). As long as I stick to my list, I can stick to my budget. It also doesn't hurt to buy store brands or to shop at a local discount store. I have an Aldi that is about 5-10 minutes away!

Restaurants
We no longer go out to eat whenever we want. Now, we did go out to eat with my parents on Sunday night and were perfectly fine picking up the tab (they always pay!). But we really appreciated the food and service because we were used to eating at home. It has now become a special treat!
We also take our lunch to work instead of stopping at a fast food drive-thru. This has really saved us so much money, it's ridiculous! It also helps knowing what we are putting in our bodies when we eat that junk food...so we just...don't!

Entertainment
Entertainment used to cut into a HUGE part of our monthly earnings. In order to cut back, we decided not to get cable and instead went with internet only. This will save you a ton of money! We subscribe to Netflix and use the Redbox free rental codes that we get via text messages for our movies. There is also a local video store that always has awesome rental deals and free kid's movie rentals if we want to make it a special weekend "outing" for our 6 year old.
My husband also utilizes his Elk's membership when he wants to hang out with the guys. Fun atmosphere, karaoke, lower priced drinks and awesome people! It only costs $10 more a year for my membership :)

Other ways to save on Entertainment:
Participate in a local sports team
Hit some golf balls at a local driving range
Have family/friend game nights
Family movie night with homemade pizza
Volunteer
Geocaching
Participate in a book club
Visit your local library or discount book store
Go to movie matinees
Attend free concerts
Visit local museums
Attend the local zoo or aquarium on a discount day

Household Cleaners-DIY
I have started making my own household cleaners. You wouldn't believe how much we spend on cleaning products! I am a neat freak so I have to have my cleaners! This weekend, I spent around 10 minutes total making my own fruit and veggie spray, Febreeze and kitchen cleaner. I bought 3 spray bottles from the dollar store, labeled them and filled them up. I saved money and I am not using harsh chemicals to clean.
Ta-dah!

Fruit and Veggie Spray
White Vinegar
Water
Salt
Spray Bottle

*Fill the spray bottle with equal parts vinegar and water. 
Add a tablespoon of salt and shake vigorously.

Kitchen Cleaner
12 oz. of Dawn dishwashing liquid
12 oz. of White Vinegar
1 Tbl of Fabric Softener
Spray Bottle

 *Add ingredients to spray bottle and shake to mix. 
A little spray goes a LONG way!

Homemade Febreeze
1/8 cup of Fabric Softener
2 Tbl of Baking Soda
Hot tap water
Spray Bottle

*Add fabric softener and baking soda to bottle. 
Fill the rest of the bottle with the tap water. 
Shake before each use.


Have a great week!

Bountiful Baskets

This Saturday we are participating in our first Bountiful Baskets Co-op. 

Bountiful Baskets is a non-profit food co-op for families that want to have more fresh produce for less money. In order to participate, you must set up a free account on the website. 

Every Monday you may sign up to receive your produce ($15 per basket or $25 for organic baskets) and pick it up on Saturday mornings. You may participate as many weeks as you like!

I am excited to see what we end up with in our basket (every week is supposed to be different). We are trying to increase our intake of fruits and vegetables..so this seemed like a pretty good idea! 

I will include pictures of what we brought home this Saturday.

Spring Cleaning List

When I was in my late teens/early twenties I would clean houses for money. I was going to school and didn't have a lot of time on my hands so cleaning a few houses a week was perfect.

I know it sounds weird but I also love to clean!

(Of course there are days where I look at the disaster that is my son's room and I just close the door to ignore it.)

As I have said before, I am in the nesting phase of my pregnancy so all I want to do is clean and organize everything! But I am so easily distracted with another mess that I leave the one I am already working on behind. I knew I needed a list. A list by room and task with little boxes for check marks so I wouldn't miss anything.

I also want to make sure I have all the supplies I need to complete my list.

So to help out my fellow deep cleaners...here is a list of tasks and supplies:

TIPS

Open those Windows: Our homes are said to contain more toxins than outdoor air-including the city air! Get the air circulating and release those toxins! This will especially help in the bathroom when cleaning with those Bleach-filled cleaners.

Clean those Curtains: Before cleaning, remove all curtains and get them started in the washing machine. Half-way through cleaning, switch them over to the dryer. By the time you are finished, your curtains will be ready to go back up!

Extra-shiny, streak-free mirrors: Do a final wipe with (black and white) newspaper.

Work from top to bottom: Dirt will fall to the floor from above, so do the high-up cleaning first to avoid having to repeat an area.

Minimize dust and Make it easy: Dip decor like candlesticks and bookends into warm soapy water and lay them out to dry on a towel. Simple dusting!

Get into a Groove: I like to listen to music while I clean.

Carry a Lint Roller: These help to remove fuzz or pet hair. These work perfectly for lamp shades :)

Cigarette Burns in Carpet: Cut the blackened fibers from the hole. Squeeze liquid glue into the hole and fill with fibers trimmed from carpet remnants.

Replace Air Filters: Change your filter every 30-60 days to make sure you are breathing the cleanest air possible.  Poor air quality can aggravate allergies and asthma, particularly children’s allergies. If you own a pet, your filter should be changed more frequently than non-pet owners.

GO NATURAL

If you are concerned with chemicals and toxins and prefer a more environment/family/pet friendly approach to cleaning, give these a try;





Baking Soda: A natural deodorizer and cleanser, sprinkle it on drains, bathtubs and kitchen counters, or mix it with water to form a scrubbing paste. You can also sprinkle it on carpets and upholstery, wait 15 minutes or so, then vacuum it off for natural deodorizing.

 

Baking soda even works as an oven cleaner (sprinkle the bottom of your oven with a little water, then generous amounts of baking soda, and let it sit overnight before wiping clean).

 

Vinegars: Use white vinegar to clean windows, mirrors and counters, or mix it with castile soap and water as an excellent floor or bathroom cleaner. You can also mix apple cider vinegar with baking soda for a simple drain cleaner. Vinegar also cuts grease, and setting out a bowl of it in your kitchen will help absorb food odors.

 

Lemon Juice: You can use this like you would vinegar, although lemon juice works especially well for removing hard water deposits and tarnish on silver.

Course Salt: A great option when you need a cleaner with scrubbing power. Try mixing salt and vinegar for a simple and effective all-purpose surface cleaner.

Hydrogen Peroxide: Use it to disinfect cutting boards or toothbrushes, or to remove stubborn stains (works especially well for blood stains) and whiten laundry.

 

Vodka: Vodka is a disinfectant that you can also use to freshen upholstery (spritz it lightly onto fabrics).

Essential Oils: You can mix natural antiseptic cleaners using water and a few drops of essential oils, such as grapefruit seed extract, clove or tea tree. Tea tree oil is especially effective against mold and mildew. Filling a spray bottle with water and your favorite scented essential oil (peppermint, lavender, vanilla, etc.) is also a simple recipe for a fabric or air freshener.

HAPPY CLEANING YA'LL!

Maternity Clothes: I needed another pair of "work pants" so I stopped into a resale maternity store and found some for $18.

Baby-related Purchases: I was planning on purchasing the Medela PIS...the unfortunate thing about it...it's $250! Luckily a friend of mine gave me her barely-used Medela PIS! Yay! I  have been holding off on buying anything for the baby. I went a little crazy buying stuff for my son and then received a TON of baby items at my shower. Some of his clothes were never even worn. I learned my lesson and this time I will wait!

Gender: It's a GIRL!
 

Movement:  She is still pretty active but only at certain times of the day. She was up early this morning...gave me a few kicks while I was getting ready for work :)

Sleep: This is still pretty hard to come by. Last night I was exhausted and sleepy but didn't actually fall asleep until 11:30ish. I was in bed at 9:45....

What I Miss: Having a glass of wine. Fitting into my clothes. Having a bra that fits...

Cravings: Smoothies! My favorite: Frozen peaches, peach yogurt and apple juice.
 

Symptoms:

• Still thirsty!
• Leg cramps
• Occassionally peeing in my pants. Embarrassing. Unfortunate. But whatever...
• Tired!
• Nesting. I cannot stop cleaning!
• Well I'm back to irritable.
• I get overwhelmed with messes...

Managing the Stress: Bubble baths in the whirlpool tub.
 

Worries: My main concern right now is childcare. What I am going to do when it's time for me to go back to work.
 

What I Look Forward To: Meeting my new baby!

Names:  I have two names in mind. Still debating on the middle name.
 

Trying out the "Pins" in my Pinterest Boards - Round One

I am an avid pinner.

Just recently, I have been trying out some of the "good ideas" that are pinned on Pinterest. In the past, I have mainly used recipes from Pinterest (most of them turned out pretty good) but the organizing, DIY and helpful tips and tricks pins sit in their "Boards" going unused.

I am in the last week -of my six month- of pregnancy (whoo!) and that good ol' Nesting Stage has hit...FULL FORCE! You should have seen me this past weekend...among organizing cabinets and closets, cleaning out the refrigerator and deep cleaning the bathrooms, I also washed our bedroom pillows and cleaned the carpets with my mother-in-law's Bissell Homecare Powersteamer Powerbrush! I also cooked every meal we had this weekend...

I am exhausted just thinking about it. Fortunately, I was able to fit in a bath in our whirlpool tub. (BTW, I was told several times when we were building our house to not to get a whirlpool tub installed in our master bath. People claimed that even though they had one, they NEVER used it. I guess I enjoy my "me" time and use this sucker ALL THE TIME! I love it!)

I decided this weekend to put some of those pins to use. Here are the pins that I tried out:

{Store laundry detergent & dryer sheets in clear jars}

I use liquid detergent but I always add a tablespoon of Borax and
Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda to every load.
I keep the mixture and the fabric sheets in jars.



{Clean your bedroom pillows}

I honestly don't clean pillows too often,
unless something is spilled or they start to have that
-not so fresh- smell. I'm glad I saw this!
My pillows will be washed 3 times a year from now on!!
I would advise against using a fabric softener
that is scented. Yeah sure, it smells good.
But after smelling it for 8 hours...Headache!

{Clean your baseboards with Bounce Dryer Sheets}

I gave this a whirl...it seriously works!
WAY better than dusting with a cloth!

{Homemade Frappuccino}

I have been making smoothies like crazy but Saturday
 night I wanted something a little more decadent.
I gathered my ingredients and made myself a
delicious homemade frozen blended coffee.
(Ice, Milk, Ovaltine, Torani Hazelnut Syrup and cold brewed coffee :P)
...or in other words...Hazelnut Mocha!

{Add essential oil in the cardboard tube of toilet paper}

I added a few drops of Mandarin Lime oil from BBW to our roll.
Keeps the bathroom spelling fresh!

{Make your Home smell like Williams Sonoma}

A few sprigs of rosemary,
lemon slices and a teaspoon of
vanilla in a pot and let it simmer on the stove.
It smelled fresh, sweet and not too strong! :)

Beauty Product Comparison - Hair Mousse

Pantene Pro-V Curl Defining Mousse (6.6oz)

-VS-

 Aussie Sprunch Mousse plus Leave-in Conditioner (6.8oz)

I frequently switch between products when it comes to my hair. If I use a certain product too long, my hair ends up looking dull and flat. I use Pantene Pro-V when my hair is dry and frizzy. It calms my hair and makes it manageable. When my hair begins to lose volume, I switch to another product-usually Aussie. I love the smell of Aussie, it makes my hair soft and it's cheap!

I recently bought two different kinds of mousse for my hair (gel weighs my hair down and leaves the ends brittle). I couldn't decide between my trusty Pantene Pro-V and my favorite cheap hair line, Aussie.

I bought both. Here are the results:

Pantene Pro-V

The product smells like most Pantene products-pleasant. I used the curl drying attachment on my hairdryer for about 5 minutes after applying the product. I let the rest airdry. My shoulder length hair at the end of the day was flat on top and frizzy on the bottom. My hair felt hard and crunchy. The ends looked horrible! Despite the effort I made to make my hair a little softer-the product was WAY too strong of a hold. My hair looked awful and felt awful but the pleasant smell remained. If I wanted crispy hair-I would have used my husband's gel...This was an expensive DUD.

Aussie

This product was a $1.00 cheaper than Pantene's and did exactly what I wanted it to do. I applied the product and dried my hair exactly the same. My hair had perfect curls that were soft and bouncy-the product didn't make my hair crispy at all. My hair had volume all around-all day long and the curls stayed just as curly as they were in the morning.  LOVE it!

Aussie is definately the winner!

The leave-in conditioner really made this product "out-shine" it's contender. Don't get me wrong, I still love the Pantene line but when it comes to mousse, I will be picking up Aussie from now on.

Baby Room Ideas

When I was pregnant with my son I decided to go a little more gender neutral with his nursery.
The walls were painted (thanks mom!) in a light green and the decor was a bumble bee theme.
It was adorable!



I could have gone with the race car or sports theme but I knew eventually that they would just naturally take over his room. Six years later, my dad's racing trophies top my son's dresser and his baseball attire can usually see seen strewn about his room.

This time, I am having a girl...and I cannot help but to go -ALL OUT- girlie!
I have been browsing through Pinterest and Houzz.com in search of the nursery I have in mind. Possible themes:

The Secret Garden

 

Pink, green, white and natural wood tones.

I love the colors but for some reason the patterns remind me of what "grandma" might use for her home decor. It's a little too old lady.

I LOVE the ruffles on the bedskirt!
 I would have to tone this look down with a more natural paint color.
Just a little too much pink-even for me!

That is more like it.
Girlie with floral patterns and it's a little more calming with the white walls.
This may the only wallpaper I would find acceptable.

Floral wreaths above the crib.



Pink Floral Cottage Chic Fitted Crib Sheet. $36.00, via Etsy.

Natural tone curtains with floral tiebacks.

 

The whole garden.

Cafe' Paris

Pink tones with hints of black and white.

Toned down Paris theme. I love the blue from the bust and I LOVE the curtains!

The rug would be perfect!

Pink French Script Crib Sheet | Carousel Designs

A Fairy Tale Princess

Once Upon a Time... 

THIS is fit for a queen!

I love the framed silhoutte pictures and keys.

Bed crowns. 

Disney Princess Crib Sheet by Crown Crafts, www.amazon.com/...

 

Romantic Shabby Chic

Pastels and Neutrals

Pale Pink

Distressed furniture is the "in" thing. I love it!

Old photos and family heirlooms in a shabby chic room would be perfect!

 

Shabby Chic Mon Amie Crib Sheet @ Target

I love the mixture of pastel blue and pink!

Clean White

I love the framed Barbie dresses!
