Birthing Mantra

 

"God in the midst of me is mighty with life, health and strength. In joy and with ease, I bring forth my healthy and perfect child."

This is from my pregnancy journal, where I have been jotting down inspirational quotes, affirmations, mantras and visualizations to call upon during my labor and birth. This particular quote was taken from a story told in the self-help book, Dynamic Laws of Prosperity.

38 Weeks

Hi everyone! Here's an update... I'm now 38 weeks! I can hardly believe it. My posts have been light because I have just been enjoying my pregnancy! This is a little photoshop'ed photo of me from a couple of days ago... the backdrop is fabric from Fabric and Art.  I love how I look like a tomato! hee hee. Our master bedroom/nursery is done and I will post photos as soon as I can.

35 Weeks

 
Hello! I'm 35 weeks today! This is a photo at my midwives office. I love my midwives! They are awesome. So far so good. Rafael is head down and moving about. The only unpleasantness I'm experiencing is some swelling in my feet and carpal tunnel (numbness and tingling) in my hands which makes it hard to sleep. Other than that I feel great!

Babyletto Modo Convertible Crib

 
My dad got us the crib we wanted, hooray! I love this Babyletto Modo Convertible Crib in Espresso! It's modern and the wood finish is rich and smooth to the touch, plus it's the perfect height for this 5'0 tall mama =) It converts into a toddler bed and comes with the side railing. For a stylish and modern crib it's pretty affordable too. Available at Target.

A couple of cute things

    

I splurged on a couple of cute things from Skip Hop.

1) Swipe - a handy wipes container that has a red slider that makes it easy to grab a wipe and keeps them moist (We all know that resealable sticker tabs only stick for so long). Plus you can sling it onto your bag handle or stroller.

2) Splash Bottle Dryer - I just had to get this one because it looks like a lotus flower and has a handy bottle brush in the center.

33 weeks and a Wedding overlooking the Gorge!

 

We DJ'd a wonderful wedding at the Cave B Winery in eastern Washington last weekend! The drive was long but the view of the Columbia River Gorge was incredible!
