After a Body Pump power hour and a shower hour, I met my friends Alice and Holly for lunch at the bakery followed by a trip to Babies R Us. Knowledge was shared!
Matt and I had so much fun playing with Finn and Elinor!
[My favorite one … 🙂 ]
Other than high school babysitting, I don’t have too much baby experience, so I’m so thankful that I’ve made friends with babies and joined the mother’s group and things. Getting to hold them and hear all the great mom advice is priceless!
Turning into a mom is hard – my appetite is up today!
I snacked on this dried fruit bar in between the gym and lunch. [OpenSky sent it to me.]
For lunch I had [steamed] ham and smoked gouda on High Five – with lots of veg!
Followed by a dessert tasting that Matt brought over – we shared a Sav bar and cookie between the three of us.
Babies R Us was fun this time. (My first visit was way too overwhelming!) A+H had some great suggestions on everything from nursing pads to pack n plays. I bought some baby hangers!
I swung by Whole Foods on my way home for weekly groceries and was so hungry (despite the huge sandwich!) I had to break into this in the store:
And when I got home, I downed a mug of cereal!
Catching up on things for the rest of the afternoon. And I think we’re having leftovers for dinner. That’s good for the fridge, bad for bored palates.
Danielle says
Aw, you and Matt look so natural with the babies! Extensive experience or not, you’re clearly going to be wonderful parents. Sounds like a fun morning/afternoon.
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
I love those Odwalla drinks…mmmm.
Vivi @My.Beautiful.Air says

Aww Matt looks so funny playing with the baby 🙂
Mary Frances says
All of the advice, tips and knowledge is good, but whatever you do and decide will be the right thing. Things will come naturally because something might be right for one person, but maybe not for you…just enjoy every moment because they grow up before you know it.
Angel7 says
I meant to say “”You” look so sweet in the pics. of you holding the baby!” Of course, “I” am not in the pics. (LOL)

I always love how tanned you look! I think high school babysitting is still relevant for parenting haha…at least that’s what I’ll convince myself of haha. My high school babysitting was pretty legit though. I used to babysit for my neighbour when their daughter was a few weeks old, so I really got a feel for what it’s like to be with a newborn! You’ll be great 😉
Ashley @ Coffee, Cake and Cardio says
So cute!! Love smoked Gouda btw.
Cait's Plate says
Oh my gosh those are the CUTEST babies!! I’m baby crazy so I would’ve just been in heaven there 🙂 I’ve been playing with my nieces all day and boy can kids wear you out! Makes me wish they were in the infant stage again 🙂
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
What cute little babies 🙂
All glad BRU wasn’t as overwhelming. That place can be SO CRAZY! Especially the first few times (or 10 times!)
Kathy W. says
Cute babies!
(and I love the poster behind you! can I ask where you bought it?)
KathEats says
Thrift store!
Karen says
Aww Kath- you look beautiful in these pictures. You really are a stunning woman and your glow is
fabulous!!
KathEats says
Thank you Karen, such a sweet comment!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
Those babies are too cute!!! You’ll have one of your own soon, so exciting!!! And that sandwich looks amazing, I love ham sandwiches and gouda is one of my favorite cheeses!
mary @ minutespermile says
Baby is hungry! I almost always eat cereal during afternoon or evening, hardly ever for breakfast! No idea why!
Michelle (Better with Berries) says
Oh goodness, I’ll have to get lots of practice before I have children because I know nothing. By that time, I’m sure lots of my friends will have kids so I won’t have any problems 🙂
Amy @ amy loves food says
You guys look like naturals with those adorable babies! I was pregnant this time last year and couldn’t believe i would be holding my own baby one day, but my little boy is now 6 months and i find it hard to believe he was in my belly!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Well you two look like naturals! I’m so excited for the both of you!
kaila @ healthyhelper! says
Love the baby pics! They make the cutest expressions! Just curious…what is the deal with steaming cold cuts? I’ve never heard of that practice during pregnancy before!
KathEats says
It’s recommended to minimize exposure to listeria
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Isn’t the appetite thing crazy! Mine doesn’t really go with my growth spurts though- My appetite plays catch up with my growth spurts, which I find confusing; while I’m growing I don’t have a crazy appetite. Weird. …….Loving the baby time, crazy how fast it’s going to hit in August/September!!!
Erica says
I literally had 0 baby experience before Kay ;). Its amazing how natural the whole thing is. I need to stop and get one of those delicious savannah bars!
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
I love holding babies…just wait until it is your own…amaaaaazing!
Liz says
Argh! You and the baby girl!! To die for! Too early to suggest a little sister for your baby? 😉
Kerry @ Totes My Oats says
Love the pictures and love cereal in a mug 🙂
Annette@FitnessPerks says
Such cute photos!! You guys will be naturals 🙂
Allison says
Your hair looks gorgeous pulled back like that!
Emily @ Life on Food says
I never would have thought there are baby hangers but that makes perfect sense. Too cute!
Maria@ Sinfully Nutritious says
Too cute. We caught up on our Sunday shows and had a variety of healthy snacks for dinner. We have not had a dinner in front of the TV in ages. It was fun to snack and watch catch up.
Have a great night.
Carla says
These are precious pics – looks like Matt will make a great Dad!
Kathryn says
Your hair is the most beautiful color and has such great highlights….I used to pay for hair color like that!! Lucky!
KathEats says
🙂
Alexis says
I agree – was just going to comment your hair is looking beautiful
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
Look at those faces! I loved being around babies when I was preggo.
TiffanyG. says
That cereal was a staple in my household for breakfast for a while there…. now I’m so tired of it, I can’t look at it! I ate it during the day, too. Weird thing, just got a wild hair and HAD to eat that cereal for almost every meal of the day. Yes, I got sick. I pulled that same string several more times before I finally got over my obsession with that cereal. /: Now, I have a Flax Bran organic cereal I mix with Cascadian Farm Cinnamon Crunch organic cereal and BOY, that’s just enough of heaven in a bowl!
You should try it sometime! Thanks for getting me hooked on Odwalla products now. I was a little scared to try something new, but you’ve been incorporating Odwalla stuff in your blogs a little more lately it seems, so I couldn’t handle not knowing what’s so glorious about this Odwalla thing… so delicious and filling!
~Christy @ wonderofallthings says
Getting your support system in place is important! Including all the food you need when you’re out and about and the grumblies attack is as well. 😉
kyla says
You two are going to make wonderful parents!
Khushboo says
You guys look so natural when holding the babies 🙂
Michelle@PeachyPalate says
You guys are going to make such cute parents! Foodies all look yum as always. Loving the mug of cereal idea!
Brittnie (A Joy Renewed) says
Playing with babies is so much more fun when you know you will soon have one of your own! You guys will be great. I have totally been picking my mommy friends brains for the last 8.5 months. So helpful! It is so nice to have a list of resources, tips and advice since obviously I have never done this pregnancy/delivery/motherhood thing before!
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Practice, Practice, that’s what you need!! The babies are Adorable!
Lexi @ Cura Personalis Foodie says
Mug ‘o cereal, the cure to everything 😉
Jeri says
That sandwich looks so good! Ok adding that to my list of things to eat during my non-school days.
