3rd Trimester

It's here - the 3rd trimester! 

Time has flown by, but at the same time it has inched along ever so slowly.

Every day I get more and more anxious...and I'm pretty sure more hormonal too! :)

3 MORE MONTHS.

Antique chair

Dan found this awesome antique chair for $50 a month or so ago. It's super comfy, but I just had to do something about the yellow fabric. 

The retro yellow plush is actually pretty cool. But the old, musty factor of an antique fabric kinda creeped me out. Especially with a newborn. 

So I decided to make some easy slip covers in a similar yellow patterned fabric. This is so easy to do with elastic! 

Now it's sitting in the nursery, ready for calming a crying baby girl (or mom!) and late night feedings. :)

Look what came in the mail....

Flip Cloth Diapers! 

I ordered two diaper covers and got 2 free (they only had the hot pink color available), plus I ordered some microfiber inserts. 

Super deals @ GAP!

Don't you love it when you get a good deal? 

Whenever I save a bunch of $$ I always want to tell someone because I'm so excited that I've outwitted corporate businesses (okay....it's more likely that I've just succumbed, to them but ssshhh sssshhhh!) 

Anyways, no one is nearly as impressed as I feel they SHOULD BE when I tell them my amazing steals. Thus, I'll subject all my blog readers to my good finds.

Here goes: 

Just purchased from GAP- 3 pairs of leggings, both maternity and athletic (like the ones above) and an adorable baby onesie for....$36 + free shipping. I should have paid $110+ shipping. Saving around $80!

AMAZING!
**Sound the bells**

Okay - so the baby bodysuit is a splurge.

BUT. I seriously need the leggings. Track season starts on Monday (wahoo!) and there is no way my older warm athletic tights fit anymore! They were already tight, add in 13lbs+ (and growing!) and it's a hot mess. I get really cold while coaching, so these will help a lot. 

The other tights....well, it's a good alternative to any pants that button or zip (as virtually every pair I own does not fit or is now uncomfortable). I'll  likely wear them the most with skirts/dresses, which  lately is the only thing comfortable that I can wear to work.

Love it all. 

Nursery projects

Each weekend I've been slowly working on a few nursery projects. It seems like I've done a lot, but looking back at pictures, it's not too much. 

All I have left to do is find baskets for holding clothes, spray paint picture frames, decide on pictures/art and any other wall decorations. I also need to find a lamp.

Coral Ruffle for a grey bedskirt ($3 @ thrift store)

Changing pad cover (~$6 fabric) + changing pad (~$25)
You can also see the grey color that we used to re-purpose a piece of furniture. More on that later...

Ruched onesies. I think I'm going to dye this, possibly tiedye?

I'm trying my hardest to stay a way from pink, but it keeps showing up EVERYWHERE!
I guess that's what having a girl is going to be like....
