Baby Q on a Budget

We are holding not another baby shower but a baby-q. Even though I can honestly say I paid for a lot of my last baby shower itself. We will be funding the majority of this baby-q. And we put on the invitation that we do not expect gifts.

We are using dollar store baby plates. Cups. Spoons. Forks. Etc.

Our menu is probably going to be hamburgers and hotdogs, chips, drinks, and a cake. Possibly some cookies too. And I plan on making a punch because I have about 10 cans of frozen orange juice I've collected that need to be used

I hope to make a clothes line decoration... like the following but outside.


And we'll have cornhole, water balloons, and a baby pool for the kids. Diaper raffle with three gifts to be won.

Trying to come up with one other game but not sure which one I want to do yet.

And here I am at 31 weeks.

Mason Jars! I am now making custom mason jars. Hoping this'll become a much loved hobby. So far I am addicted.

Just feeling fat. Not pregnant.

I mean I have all the symptoms of pregnancy but I just don't look that pregnant. Most people walking by would assume I am just really overweight.

:(

This was from the beginning. Roughly 13-14 weeks.

And here we are today. Really am not changing much. My belly may be poking out roughly 3-4 more inches than normal but I just feel fatter. Praying I get some sort of pretty belly before we make it to full term so I can take some beach photos with my hunnies.

Other than that, little angel is doing just fine. We have come up with a name. My goal in the next few weeks is to...

• Obtain a double stroller. Preferably the one I want but we'll see.
• Redesign (not rearrange) but re-theme the nursery. Tired of the sailboats theme. Going to be hard to find MORE sailboat stuff so ready for a change.
• Clean all the clothes. I don't feel like 15 weeks is enough time left to get all those baby clothes washed and de-stained from the previous use.
