Third Trimester Must Haves

Now that I'm past my due date (arghhhhhhh!), I thought I would share some things that were helpful for me in the third trimester!!! I can't believe I'm already at the end! Pregnancy absolutely flew by!!!! And now the little man will be here any day now (hopefully sooner rather than later! Come on, baby!).
I don't have as many items to share this trimester because many of my first trimester and second trimester must haves were also beneficial during the third trimester, but there are definitely a few things that are new or that became extra important as I neared the end.

How we announced our pregnancy

I know it's the end of my pregnancy, but I just realized I never shared the fun ways we announced that we were expecting! I figured I better hurry up and share before the little one arrives!!! It could be any day now! :) So here's four creative ideas for pregnancy announcements.

DIY Cork Wrapped Succulent Planter- Monthly DIY Challenge

Alright, I'll admit, this month's challenge item totally had me stumped for a while. I had been thinking about it for weeks. What could I do beyond the obvious? I didn't want to make a cork board. I thought about making coasters or trivets, but those are readily available for purchase these days. I didn't want to use wine corks because that would mean destroying my collection and emptying my DIY wine cork storage bin. Then I remembered that winter is coming and I desperately needed to move my succulents indoors before the first frost! I end up needing to repot them every year, so now was the perfect opportunity. And so it was decided. I was going to use cork to make a succulent planter!

Frogs, snails, and puppy dog tails- Baby Shower

It seems like forever ago now, but really my baby shower was just a little over a month ago. Funny how time goes by during pregnancy! My sweet momma did most of the planning, and I absolutely adored the theme she came up with! It was perfect for a baby boy, that's for sure! (Check out the adorable invitations she sent that were ordered from The Green Grass Grows*)

"Frogs, snails, and puppy dog tails; that's what little boys are made of!"

Brag-Worthy Thursday- No. 4

Hey ya'll! Hopefully the Daylight Savings Time change isn't throwing you off as much as it is me! Between waking up every two hours to pee and it being dark outside at 5pm I'm feeling a little crazy! I'm 38 weeks pregnant and ready to get this show on the road! :)

Somehow the final weeks of pregnancy are giving me a ton of energy, so I've been crafting my little heart out for the nursery and I can't wait to share! In the mean time, why don't you share your lovely projects with me below! :)

What's in my hospital bag?

With Baby B's due date just two weeks away (eeeeek!), we are preparing for our inevitable trip to the hospital! I started throwing items into my bags weeks ago, but I finally feel like they are complete and ready to go. In preparation for packing, I looked over many different hospital packing lists on Pinterest and made a list of things I thought were important. I also relied on my prior experience as a post-partum nurse to help decide what things were unnecessary. From that experience, I know what the hospital will provide for you and what things patients brought that they never used.
