Source: {1}

Hi! :) I've honestly been putting my Hospital Bag together for weeks now!... I remember this or that every now and then. After I recorded the video What's in my Hospital Bag & My Prenatal Favorites! I thought of more things! A razor and socks and shoes... a hat etc... I think it really all comes down to me just wanting to be the most prepared mommy I can be :) Maybe next time all I will pack is a toothbrush!! hehe! 

By the way Daddy's Bag will hold all the electronics:

♦Cell Phone Chargers

♦Camera & Charger

♦Macbook & Charger (music playlist included...idk what I might like yet... soft & soothing or hip hop! lol smh!)

♦DVD's

♦Birthing Plan

The Baby Room!

The Door to the Baby Room

These is the setup BEFORE I really got creative with a new sheet set 

and other newer goodies from my baby shower.

I'm so thankful that I have these extra sheets for changing though!

This was my favorite sheet set from Babies R Us..

I loved the light honey colors, stripes, and polka dots :) 

Oh! This is the AFTER pic!!!

I set out a couple of my favorite things... and the giraffe plays music, hehe ;)

Then I rearranged again to fit the wipey warmer...

I used my old airplane kite as diaper changing eye candy :)

The blue blanky on the dresser is where I'll put 

the diaper changing cushion when we get it. 

The Play Corner BEFORE the rearranging! 

(They're all sweet gifts :) 

AFTER:I hung all the pom poms we made for the baby shower 

as more eye candy in the bright play corner.

These are the outfits & blanky I packed in the diaper bag for the babies trip home from the hospital!

...And we're ready with our diaper bag, hospital bag, stroller, and car seat for the unknown day of the trip to the hospital for delivery! We so appreciate everyones prayers and gifts so far!! Love ya'll!!

Some of Our Maternity Photo Shoot Pictures!

We took these sunny maternity pics at random. 

The sun was setting and we discovered this 

beautiful place in passing and STOPPED! hehehhehehe!!! 

Dany (my dearest husband ever) took them all! 

I was so happy with them! 

I hope you enjoy some of my favorites :)

These were taken at 37 weeks (about 8.5 months pregnant) by the way!

Much Love!!!

New Mexico Does Flour Tortillas Best!

Since I was born in Albuquerque, NM but now live in Virginia, I don't have easy access to some of the best food in the world... so I make it when the cravings get intense enough ;)

Along with my Peanut Butter cravings (see that post here) I had to make some homemade tortillas! There is nothing like them!

I followed the White Flour Tortilla from this site. Here they are: mmmm.... drum roll for the NM State shaped tortilla!!! haha...

My 36 Week Peanut Butter Craving Creation

I made two batches by the way- 

...Cuz "Sharing is Caring" hehe ;P

I used the Impossible Peanut Butter Cookies recipe at food.com and made some of my own changes... I used brown sugar instead of white and only used half of the sugar it called for so I could follow through with my plan of rolling half of the batch in cinnamon & sugar and to add DOVE chocolates to the other half (as soon as they came out of the oven that is)! 

They were amaze-balls!! 

*By the way; this recipe only calls for PB, sugar, & eggs! :D
