I love Japan~!

There is a lot i love about Japan... but this has to be top on my list.
In all the department stores i have ever been in, all over Japan, they all have something in common ---> A baby room. (Loved this when Olivia was a baby too, in Sasebo)
These rooms have a few changing areas, a nursing area (private), a vending machine with drinks, a Weight/Measuring area, a Sink and a Hot water heater (for bottles). Also, they have Diaper disposal cans.
I just have to say how nice it is to have a place that is clean (for the most part) and private and NOT a Bathroom to change/feed my baby on the go/shopping.

Now, while "out and about" site seeing it's VERY hard to find a Changing area or Toilet for that matter... but this is so nice when shopping for goods off base. :)
Enjoy the pictures.

Baby Ava is here!

35/36 weeks (pic's)

Ok so ... i am 35/36 weeks pregnant.
Some days i Feel HUGE and some days, not so much.
Today? I "Feel huge" but don't feel i look it... in these pictures.
Maybe it's the shirt. Let me tell you, i am feeling it now.
Pressure/pain/everything.
In particular today? Very high strung feeling. Biting every one's head off... heart beating fast and very anxious feeling. Maybe Panic-y?
I don't know.
Enough Talking... here's the pictures.

Baby things...

So, i am Starting to get in the mood to shop.
I think it's panic... but we will call it "the mood". haha
Today, while Evan was at school i went off base to find some things i have been thinking about.
Here is a slideshow of just basic/boring baby stuff. If that interest's you... please view!
All of it was bought off base, so it Might be interesting to you Meemaw/Mom.

Just baby talk...

Tonight We went to the base and looked at the baby area. It freeked me out a little.
We looked at baby bath tubs, almost bought one.
We looked at car seats / strollers and I almost started crying... Not with joy.
Then I browsed through changing pads/covers and crib sheets...
Oh and then remembered we did not buy the mattress yet!
It does not come with the crib, lol!!!!
Then off to sheets...
Do I buy pink... Or stick with white, just in case!?
I think I'll wait...
I have to be 100000% thankful to my aunt Jackie who has given me so much newborn essentials, clothing wise & a boppy.
Also Paula who gave me a swing... And Julie who also gave me Like-new clothing.
Meemaw also gave me some nice winter things....
I am just starting to panic a bit.
We will have everything we need.... We will !!!
Feb 10-20th time frame is not Right Now or anything.
I just needed to write this... To get it off of my chest.

The good news is, our room is ready due to Ethan and His Nesting!!!
The floors/everything has been dusted and cleaned as of yesterday. Haha!
