We got some really cute stuff from Ranee last week for Peanut. I’m such a sucker for hoodies with ears. Peanut is also ready for his first trip to Hawaii when he turns 3 months old. That dark blue swimming shirt will come in handy. Thanks, Ranee!
We’re a bit more prepared for Peanut’s arrival now. The co-sleeper bed arrived yesterday and Jes assembled it with a little bit of KK’s help.
It has wheels and fits nicely next to the bed at just the right height. The bed is half the size of the pack n play and has plenty of storage underneath. This should last us at least 5 or 6 months.
I also washed all the newborn clothes and put them away in the storage bins that I bought. I even packed a hospital bag and opened our first pack of newborn diapers. One went to KK so she could practice on Big GG. It was a perfect fit.
It’s less than two weeks from the estimated due date and I think I’m ready but hoping to cook him all the way at the same time. We’ll keep you posted!
Tomorrow I will be 38 weeks pregnant. It’s time to take a guess at when Peanut will arrive.
Here are the stats so far:
Due Date: 8/1
Peanut has dropped and he’s head-down. He’s also squirming around A LOT.
Having Braxton-Hicks contractions all day long but it’s not very consistent.
KK was born 3 days late, weighed 7 lbs 10 oz, and measured 20 inches long at birth.

KK is getting pretty good at using my phone to take photos of people, things, and herself. She also knows how to flip the camera to the front-facing camera.
I’m gonna have to put together an album of all her photos one day. It’s interesting to see what catches her photographic eye. Here are just a few…including photos of me in my super-preggo state.
It’ll be great if she can become my assistant one day…she’ll just have to learn to follow directions.
We picked up my mom from the airport yesterday and although it’s been less than 24 hours, it’s made such a difference! KK has another person to keep her company and I got to take a shower at a random time this morning!! The best part so far was that I got to take a nap today. I was exhausted after walking to and from the hospital for antenatal testing and I fell asleep while surfing on my phone. It wasn’t my usual fake half-nap with KK calling my name every 2 minutes while I doze in and out with my eyes closed on the couch. This was an uninterupted-full-fledged-over-an-hour nap. When I woke up, they weren’t home but the stroller was still home.
Ten minutes later, they walked through the door and KK happily said, “good morning!” and had a shopping bag hanging across her chest. They had gone for a walk to Safeway!
After lunch, I gave my mom a turn to nap and KK ended up falling asleep too! Maybe I wasn’t tiring her out enough! Regardless, I feel more rested and KK has been a little less stubborn and needy today. I also managed to score a few deals online during the Amazon Prime Day Sale today and my mom is making some of my favorite things to eat for dinner right now. Aaaaah… Thanks, Mommy for all your help so far!
I’m at 37.5 weeks now and walking is getting a little less comfortable each day. Luckily, once I get going, I feel fine and can go quite a distance still. Last weekend, we even walked to Pier 27 to watch the symphony and that’s about 2 miles from home each way. My doctor says I’ve gained about 10 pounds this pregnancy, which is surprising because I feel HUGE. Maybe it will help me lose all the baby weight and then some once Peanut arrives.
I had more discomfort today than usual. I can’t tell if they’re contractions or if Peanut is making himself more room by doing some major squirming around. All I know is that the walk to dinner tonight was not as easy as it usually is and I can see why women take long walks to induce labor. I was hoping NOT to do that tonight but it certainly gave me a moment of panic when I starting to think about the possibility of going into labor this evening at dinner. I hadn’t even bought his bed or washed any of his clothes yet! Anyway, the walk home from dinner was not as bad and I’m feeling better now for some reason. Maybe I was just dehydrated today. 
Anyway, this photo was taken this evening by my lovely daughter. She didn’t quite get Jes in the frame but she did get the baby bump (almost at 37 weeks), which is hard to see in this photo for some reason.
