Sorry I've been MIA for so long, but man who would have thought having a baby was so much work?!?!  All the details COMING soon!

BUT for now, here's LOTS of pics of little baby Carter in the hospital :)
 I'm definitely NOT one of those ladies that looks PERFECT after they just popped a baby out BUT it's our first family picture and DEFINITELY one that I will cherish forever :)
Going home outfit, I LOVED it, doesn't he look like a little track star?  :)  THIS was literally two seconds before we got in the wheelchair to get outta the hospital 26 hours after he was born!  I was so ready to go home!  I hope all of my bloggy friends are well, I've missed you all MUCHO and I have all of your blogs to read!  BlogLovin unread posts 194!  Do you think I've been doing anything but taking care of a BRAND new baby for the past 9 days?  Probably not!  BUT I really wouldn't have it ANY other way!! :D

Baby Carter's Bedroom (so far) + A concert :)

So last Monday, my mom came over and helped me clean out Carter's room!

I wish that I had pictures of what his room looked like before we got it cleaned because it literally looked like a tornado went off in there!  SERIOUSLY!  So sad how messy it was, I just did NOT have any energy to do anything (who am I kidding, I still don't have any energy) it's like I'm in the beginning of my pregnancy ALL over again!!  :l

BUT thanks to my mom she really helped get everything organized in there :)

Of course we still have to put up all the frames and the book shelves, this week BUT at least the majority of everything is ready for him to come!  Like that corner in the back...see it?  Behind the chair, that is where all of his frames and stuff are hiding AND I need to set up our desk in the living room so we can get rid of that printer!  AND the dogs LOVE to eat their bones in there, OF COURSE!
his crib, I LOVE his bed set, and realized that it didn't come with a bumper!  I had NO idea!  P.S. don't mind the vacuum in there, its gone now, but we used it to shampoo the carpet this weekend!
Here is the AMAZING chair that we got from Costco, I had been looking EVERYWHERE for a nice glider that wasn't $600 which is ALL I could find!!  UNTIL we stumbled across this one at Costco :D  AND I was SUPER excited when I found out that it was only $150!  Couldn't believe it either!  AND it's so cute, NOW if ONLY I could find a CUTE slipcover that doesn't cost $200 did you know that's how much those are??  I had NO idea!  BUT for now the brown matches and eventually we'll find one!
HIS CLOSET!  OMG yes he does HAVE that many clothes PLUS the other side, and those are all to 6 months!  He is NEVER going to run out that's for sure!  I am going to change him @ LEAST 3 times a day so that he can make sure to wear them all!
His Bassinet/Rocker that we got, I have read review after review about what to put the baby in when they first come home from the hospital and this rocker got the BEST reviews!  SO this is where Baby Carter will sleep when he first comes home!  AND it's the CUTEST softest thing in the world!
I LOVE this little toy, it's so cute!  AND it sings!  Reminds me of the glow worms from when I was young!  So cute! :D  LOVE him!  :)

We are READY for Baby Carter to get here any day now, and we can't wait!!  We have to finish the last couple of touches on his room, BUT we did shampoo all the carpets in our apartment and get the car completely detailed so that we are all FRESH and CLEAN when he does decide to come :)  AND we can't wait!

Happy or Moody most of the time: I think I'm pretty happy, BUT it is pretty easy for me to get annoyed!

Sleep: I feel like I can't get ENOUGH sleep right now, I'm so tired!!  Literally last night I went to bed at midnight and then woke up at 4 am and couldn't go to sleep until 5:30 and then LITERALLY slept in this morning until 12:30 I can't believe it!  I feel like I'm in the first trimester of pregnancy ALL OVER AGAIN!  :l  AND if someone tells me ONE more time that it's NOT going to get better after the baby comes, I'm going to PUNCH someone in their face!  ESPECIALLY because I already KNOW that!  BUT at least I'll have a reason to be tired all the time, right now I just feel like I'm exhausted for no reason!

Showing:  Ummm for sure!!  NO way to hide it AT ALL!

Baby Carter please please please get here soon!  Mommy & Daddy can't wait to finally meet you on the outside!  WE are all ready for you to get out!  BUT no rush, I LOVE that you are going to pick your own birthday :D  Pick a good day and PLEASE let it be BEFORE halloween, we have a SUPER cute Halloween costume waiting for you to wear :)

Baby Laines-37 Weeks

How far along: 37 weeks :)

Baby's size: 19-22 inches around 6.5 lbs :-O!   The size of a WATERMELON!!  Oh goodness!

Miss Anything: Being comfortable!!  I miss being able to sleep on my back...sleeping without waking up like I'm going to explode, feeling like I don't have a BASKETBALL stuffed inside my stomach...oh and I miss wearing jeans!  OH and shirts that were long, and I miss my old feet, they're so swollen right now and they hurt that I miss when they were cute!  :(

Best moment this week:  Getting an email saying that Baby Laines is FULL TERM!!  He can literally come at ANY TIME!!!  :D

Movement: Yep, every single day, it's cute when he moves sometimes, because it's when I eat something or drink something and he'll be moving crazy!  I LOVE IT!    He's so funny he already makes me laugh when the husband plays music for him and he starts moving CRAZY!

Food cravings: I feel like it has finally hit me, that I FEEL LIKE I CAN EAT A HORSE starving feeling!  YESTERDAY I felt fine, and then ALL OF A SUDDEN I felt like I was going to pass out from being hungry!  I have a feeling he's going to be a GREAT eater once he gets out!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still just when I'm hungry!  Other then that not too much.

Maternity Clothes: All I can wear, I even had a meltdown on Saturday for our baby shower when I tried on the dress that I had bought a couple of weeks ago for the baby shower and it didn't fit, I felt so uncomfortable in it, and then I had to search through my closet for something to wear...I officially do NOT FIT IN ANY OF MY pre-maternity clothes UNLESS they were ridiculously long before I got pregnant.

Stretch marks: I have noticed that I got a couple on the very bottom of my stomach...the husband says you can't see them BUT I can see them!  I know they are there and they make me sad :(  Battle wounds of a mother right?  Just gotta keep telling myself that.  AND they aren't as bad as they COULD BE.
Symptoms I HAVE:  Swollen feet
tired...oh the tiredness, i need energy like yesterday
big basketball belly
feeling like I'm going to topple over
clothes not fitting
tired...did I say that already? it's because of how tired I am
an anxious!  I'm so excited for him to get here, but have so much to do before he actually arrives that every time i feel pressure I get worried he might decide that he wants to come out already

Doctor’s Appointment:  they are every single week from now on...so we're definitely getting close

What I'm looking forward to:  finally meeting him :)  I can't wait!!  I went through ALL of his clothes yesterday and we have soooooooo many that they don't fit inside his closet hanging some have to go in drawers, I can't believe how blessed we already are!  AND I can't wait to see what he looks like!

Gender: BOY!!!

Belly Button in or out: still in...

Wedding rings on or off: well...they WERE on, but I noticed last week that they were getting a little tight, not when I was wearing them...when I was wearing them I didn't feel them tight at all, BUT they were getting more difficult to get off...so I took them off, but missed them too much and decided it was the weather that was making them so tight, until last night when I tried to take them off, I had to use soap and I had a mark, so I officially took them off, I'm so scared that they will have to be cut off that I'd rather be safe then sorry.

Happy or Moody most of the time: I like to think that I'm Happy most of the time, but I do catch myself becoming moody...especially when it's HOT!


Sleep: well, I guess I'm better off then MOST preggers that say they can't sleep at all, because I can definitely sleep BUT when I wake up I'm still tired!  and often times my arms go to sleep from sleeping on my side...oh man I can't WAIT til the day I can sleep on my back again!!!  I miss that sleep!!

Showing:  YES!!  That's FOR SURE!

Baby Laines-36 Weeks

How far along: 36 Weeks :)

Baby's size: 19-22 inches, around 6.5 lbs AND the size of a WATERMELON!  Ummm safe to say Baby Carter is BIG enough to come out ANY day now!!

Miss Anything: NOT having a MILLION things to do on my to do list!!  Seriously!

Best moment this week:  Knowing that in LESS then a month the new baby will be here!  Eeek I can't wait!

Movement: Yep, he doesn't kick so much anymore, BUT he gets hiccups a lot AND lots of rolls, and I think he moves his hands around a lot

Food cravings: Still just sweets.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Randomly I'll feel SUPER nauseous but not on a steady basis. 

Maternity Clothes: Uggh yes, I'm still trying to squeeze myself into my old pants, and although they still go on, they are completely unbuttoned, thank you belly band for making it seem like they're not.

Stretch marks: :(  I am sad to say that I got a few stretch marks :,( I wanted to cry when I saw them, BUT the upside is that they are REALLY REALLY light and I think I MIGHT be the only one that can truly see them, what can I say I know what my stomach looked like before and those tiny marks were NOT there.

Symptoms I HAVE:   Big huge belly, tired ALL THE TIME, NONE of my clothes fit, get out of breath, ONE symptom I still don't have though, is that I am NOT nesting thats for sure, I'm so tired all I want to do is sleep!

Doctor’s Appointment:  Have one on Friday, and then it's EVERY single week until he finally decides to come!

What I'm looking forward to:  Baby Carter finally being here!  I literally CAN NOT WAIT!!!  I know I have a LOT to do before his arrival BUT I'm so excited to go in his room and see an actual baby :)

Gender: BOY!!!

Belly Button in or out: in

Wedding rings on or off: on and still fitting like normal :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: Not gonna lie, I'm pretty freaking moody, BUT it's HOT and I have realized that MOST people are REALLY annoying!


Sleep: Yuckkkk...I wish it was easier to sleep!  I'm so tired!

Showing:  There is NO hiding this big belly, I mean I can try BUT I'm pretty sure people can tell there's a baby in there :)

Baby Laines-35 Weeks

Happy Rosh Hashanah!!!
(no I'm not jewish, but my calendar told me what today is :D)
How far along: 35 weeks :)

Baby's size: He is the size of a LARGE cantaloupe :D around 19-22 inches & almost 6 lbs (don't you think if he's already 6 pounds he can get out now??)

Miss Anything: Well yesterday I missed beer, so the husband made me a FAKE michelada which is a michelada with O'douls and it does supress the craving!  AND I still miss being comfortable!

Best moment this week:  knowing that we are NOW less then 5 weeks (pleaseeeeeee Carter come on TIME)

Movement: Yep, he moves around in there LOTS I think I've started to become immune to it, it's funny!  BUT I still LOVE it!!

Food cravings: Hmmm...nothing really...still sweets!  Whyyyyyy are they sooooo good!  OHHH but I think the Husband has FINALLY hit is pregnancy cravings because I think every single day he tells me how "this one thing would taste AMAZING" he was even mad at the TV the other day for playing a McDonalds commercial because he's been thinking about one all week...he makes me laugh!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing really, besides randomly feeling like I'm gonna get sick, but still never do.

Maternity Clothes: Yepppp all dayyyyyyy everyyyyyy dayyyyyyy can't wait to wear regular clothes again!

Stretch marks: I feel like I'm going to get some, and I have been so careful this whole time...sometimes though I think I see some, and then realize it's just the lines from my pants!

Symptoms I HAVE:  Big BELLY!  Being tired allllllllllll the time, and sometimes I'm awfully cranky :(

Doctor’s Appointment:  Had one on Friday, and they did an ultrasound because their doppler wasn't working and they couldn't hear his heartbeat, I wasn't too worried though because at that exact moment I could feel him moving around like crazy so CLEARLY he was alive!  BUT it was cool to see him again, and see how BIG he is!  His head now took up the ENTIRE screen, and he is head down!  No wonder I randomly have to pee RIGHT NOW! :D

What I'm looking forward to:  our last baby shower, maternity leave, and FINALLY getting to see our babies face!  I watched the kardashians last night and it made my eyes water when she holds her baby...eeek so exciting to finally meet the baby that has been living inside you all these months :D

Gender: BOY!!!

Belly Button in or out: in

Wedding rings on or off: on and still fitting like normal :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: Sometimes, I get randomly cranky ESPECIALLY if I'm HOT!!  OMG!!  This weather has NOT helped ONE bit!!  NOT one, and I feel like I'm going to pass out, precisely why the husband and I stayed home all weekend inside our air conditioned house and it was AMAZING!


Sleep: Yuckkkk, I've noticed that if I take a shower before going to sleep I usually only wake up once at night but if I don't take a shower I wake up 5-6 times, I gotta keep remembering that!  Wonder when I'll be able to sleep again?  Maybe in a year?

Showing: ohhh definitely!

Baby Laines-34 Weeks :)

How far along: 34 weeks!!  Eeek getting so excited :D  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Baby Carter don't be late!!  I really want to see you from the outside already!

Baby's size: The little baby is around 19-22 inches, 5.5 lbs (seems pretty BIG) and the size of a LARGE cantaloupe!!  :D 

Miss Anything: Right now I miss NOT being tired all the time, OH and my feet not hurting!!  I swear we went to the aquarium yesterday for the Husband's god daughters bday and EVERY single time I saw a bench I went and sat down, my feet are killing me!!!  My heels actually they just hurt so bad -.-  anyone have a good way to fix this??  I looked up online and the dumb websites just said "stay off your feet and elevate"  ummm hello I want to fix it I KNOW being off my feet will help, but what about when I want to go and do fun things??  I want to go to Disneyland but I don't think my feet are up for it AT ALL!  
Best moment this week:  Our Baby Shower, it was SOOOO hot but we had LOTS of fun!  (update soon, hopefully TOMORROW, if I can remember to take pictures tonight!!) It was amazing to see all of the stuff that we received for Baby Carter :D  Now to just clean his room!
Movement: Yep, every day, mostly at night and when I'm at work, but that's probably because that's when it's quietest, he's probably confused as to why there isn't noise out here!
Food cravings: Still fruit, and sweets!!  We had birthday cake last night and it was AMAZING so amazing actually that I ate it for BREAKFAST! :D
Anything making you queasy or sick:  ummm no just randomly I'll feel super sick but it doesn't really seem like it's anything specific that makes me feel that way.


Maternity Clothes: Yessssssss, I am still fitting in a VERY SELECT few of my old shirts, but other then that I'm struggling to find things to wear, and I refuse to buy anymore clothes!  until I can fit into regular clothes again!
Stretch marks: Still have those two itty bitty tiny ones, still hoping they don't get BIGGER :(
Symptoms I HAVE:   a big belly, slightly swollen feet, and this insane tiredness, seriously this tiredness??  Why couldn't you just be gone after the 1st trimester?!!?!
Doctor’s Appointment:  Have another 4 minute appointment on Friday...they're really pretty freakin LAME and I hate that I ask them questions and sometimes they don't explain why, they just say, oh ya that's normal :l  wellllllll okayyyyyyy
What I'm looking forward to:  Our NEXT baby shower and hopefully eventually getting another ultrasound of the baby boy, before he's born!  I wanna see what it looks like in there now that he's HUGE!

Gender: BOY!!!
Belly Button in or out: in

Wedding rings on or off: on and still like normal :)  LESS then 6 more weeks and hopefully they will fit the entire pregnancy :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: I would like to say HAPPY BUT, when people do or say really ANNOYING things it can get to me IMMEDIATELY and I JUST might snap at you, sorry but don't be dumb and it won't happen! 


Sleep: Ugggh I have been taking a shower BEFORE bed now, and it has helped me sleep so much more, BUT I still have to get up every couple of hours during the night to pee...or because my arm is asleep.


Showing:  Ummmm, I would think this big belly is NOT from eating too much pizza!

Baby Laines-33 Weeks

Happy Labor Day!!!!!!!
(yesterday)

How far along: 33 Weeks :)

Baby's size: He is 19-22 inches and around 4.9 pounds, the size of a Pineapple!! 

Miss Anything: I miss being able to get out of bed without feeling like I'm going to die, that's probably all this week.  Oh and I kinda miss having normal dreams and not the CRAZY ones I've been having!

Best moment this week:  Getting his crib and changing table painted, and starting to put together his room.  AFTER I had the meltdown about painting I realized that he isn't going to die from paint, and the gray crib and changing table look AMAZING in gray!

Movement: He moves a LOT more now, and I LOVE it!  It's so funny, I swear I could feel him allllllll day everyday and I never get tired of him squirming around in there :)  It's an amazing feeling!

Food cravings: Still FRUIT, I realized that yesterday we went to to the store and 50% of the groceries we bought were fruit!  YUMM it's just soooooooo good!  Oh and I MIGHT have been craving Krispy Kreme donuts this weekend too...NOT my fault someone mentioned them and I HAD to have them!  AND they were AMAZING!!!

Anything making you queasy or sick: I still randomly get a nausceous feeling, BUT for the most part I still feel pretty good.

Maternity Clothes: Yes PLEASE!!  I can still wear a couple of my old shirts that were flowy...but for the most part it's all maternity clothes, my co-workers probably think I NEVER change, but Maternity Clothes are expensive and I'd MUCH rather spend my money on stuff for Carter!

Stretch marks: :(  I found one on my side the other day...I was sooooooo sad :l  BUT it is pretty tiny and I could deal, that was UNTIL I found another tiny one on my belly...ohhhhhh godddddd whyyyyyy I really hope this is a fluke and NOT a trend...pleassseeee from now on though Mustela twice a day!

Symptoms I HAVE:   Besides a BIG protruding belly, and starting the wobble I think I'm pretty good with symptoms.

Doctor’s Appointment:  Had one on Friday and it was literally 5 minutes long!  I swear it takes me LONGER to walk to the office then it does to be inside with the Dr.next appointment is NEXT friday!

What I'm looking forward to:  Our FIRST baby shower is on Saturday and I'm pretty excited for it!

Gender: BOY!!!

Belly Button in or out: in

Wedding rings on or off: on and still fitting like normal :) 

Happy or Moody most of the time: I think I'm pretty happy, especially now that I see the baby's room coming together, it's getting so exciting to think he'll be here before we know it :D


Sleep: Yuck...I guess this is preparing me for when he comes, because I usually wake up to go pee in the middle of the night and then I lay back down hoping to fall right back to sleep ONLY to lay there for at least a 1/2 hr trying to fall back to sleep...lameeeee I wish I could remember what good sleep felt like.

Showing:  Yeppppp if anyone just thought I was a fatty it would be pretty funny though

AND some exciting news!!!

can't wait to be home and getting everything organized for the little baby :)

Baby Crib Meltdown!

I love that ever since I've been preggers EVERY one PLUS their Mom takes it upon themselves to give them their WONDERFUL advice, doesn't matter what it is they just give it to me!  MOST of the time I just laugh about it, and think it's funny that everyone KNOWS everything about everything, and go about my day.

Welllllll today I was talking to a co-worker about how I have so much to do before the baby comes and FIRST thing we need to do ASAP is paint the baby's crib!  You see, my cousin was VERY generous and gave us her daughters old crib that she literally slept in five times!  SO basically it's BRAND NEW so we figured why are we going to buy a crib when this one was given to us for FREE!?  Right?  Well, the only problem is that this crib is CHERRY wood, and I HATE Cherry, not for everything I mean it's cute in bedrooms and stuff but I don't like it for a little boys room, or maybe it's because it doesn't go with what I have in mind for Carter's room!  

free crib
I mean it's a simple crib and would look great in his room, IF it was a different color!  So we decided when she gave it to us that we were going to paint it!!  I really really wanted this crib!
gray crib
AND we figured that we could easily paint the above crib this beautiful gray color!  Right?  I mean it can't be THAT hard...and it will really pop!  So we went to Home Depot last week, and bought the perfect gray to go with his green wall and existing bedroom set, and we LOVED it the colors all matched perfectly!  The husband painted the room last weekend, and this weekend he was gearing up to paint BOTH the crib and the changing table a cute gray color!

That brings us to today, when I was telling my co-worker about my husband painting the crib and she looked at me and said, "you're going to paint the crib?  I don't think you should do that! In my honest opinion, because it could be harmful to the baby!"  I didn't know what to say, I hadn't even thought to ask or make sure that the paint was non-toxic -.-  In my defense I did think about it BEFORE I went out and actually bought the paint, I had read all about it and it said just make sure you get a NON-TOXIC paint!  Okay perfect!  BUT when I went to Home Depot to actually buy the paint, did I remember to check for toxicity?  Ummm that would be a BIG FAT NO!  Am I already the worlds worst mom???  :(  

So, I immediately text the husband and had a semi-meltdown about how I don't know what to do because we don't know if the paint is toxic, I mean we could potentially be poisoning our child right??  AND I searched again a MILLION times, painting a baby crib, and everything said just make sure the paint is NON-TOXIC, what the heck is paint toxic?  Because really my dog chewed my walls at my old apartment and I'M POSITIVE that they SPARED the expense and did NOT buy NON-TOXIC paint so does that mean my little Marlee was poisoning herself??

I went to the paint website, and emailed them asking if the specific paint that I bought would be okay to paint a child's crib and we shall see what they come back with.  Really?  Who knew deciding to paint a crib could be so nerve racking....but I mean really, isn't the gray crib just so much cuter!?!  I mean really?

Right now I'm hoping that the paint company will get back to me and let me know rather or not their paint will toxify (i'm positive that's not a word but I can't think of a better one) my baby!  and all things I found online said to just add a clear non-toxic protective coat over whatever paint you choose, so we shall see what happens.  

Anyone have any idea rather or not you can use regular paint on a baby crib?  Anyone ever done it before?  Please let me know!  Thank you :)
