we're growing, aka, OH MY GOD I'M HUGE!

So...the little Peanut is growing away and moving around like a maniac. I can not believe that soon we will have a BABY! I had a mini freak out the other day when I realized that in about a month and a half there will be a little person here. No giving him back, no returns. He's here, for good! YIKES!

Anyway, here's a picture of Lucy checking out the baby belly:

I had my first baby shower two Saturday's ago and it went very well. I got lots of really nice gifts, the food was great and the company was even better. It was a great day, and I think because my friends had a lot to do with the planning, there were no games or anything like that. You know, the things I hate, haha.

My last shower is this coming Saturday and I expect it will also be a great one, I am a little worried that there will be games, etc but we'll see. I'll just feign exhaustion and pretend I can't participate. But it should be really nice and I'm sure I'll have another whole truck load of loot to put away, wash and get ready for our little man.

The weather here has been NUTS. We went from seriously cold weather last week to sweltering heat! It has been in the 90's since Friday and even Lucy is over it. She is like, look, I am a spoiled bitch and I need me some shade and some air conditioning. And this is just fine with me because mama feels the same way! It's supposed to go back to normal later this week but so much for Spring. Like usual, we went straight from Winter to Summer in a matter of a day.

Anyway, I am off to actually get some work done. I hope everyone is having a great day!

IT'S SPRING!!! kind of...

Here is a beautiful picture of a lovely day last week, maybe two weeks ago or so when spring was in the air, the flowers were blooming, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping, whatever, you get the point:




Yeah...not so much anymore. I can't even remember that day anymore, I just have this photo to prove I wasn't dreaming! It has been wet and cloudy and dreary and down right COLD out all week and I am so over it. It is so depressing to wake up every morning and see the cold drizzle. The fog that makes it look like dusk and not morning. I hate it and I hate the cold weather and if I don't see the sun again soon, which they say we will tomorrow, we'll see, I am going to start screaming like a mad woman! I NEED SOME WARMTH DAMMIT!!

Tomorrow I get to work from home. Why you ask? Because I get to collect my urine sample for 24 hours to be tested at the doctors office. I know you're jealous, try to contain yourself, pun intended...

Yes, apparently there has been a lot of protein in my urine at each doc's visit so now I must be tested. What does protein in the urine mean? I have no idea. I asked. The doc explained. I still have no clue. SO, I got to take home a very large, bright orange, boldly labeled BIO HAZARD container to keep my "samples" in for a 24 hour period starting tomorrow. Then I get to carry this jug with me to the doctor's office for testing and lucky for me, more blood work. Yayyy! The things you have to do when your pregnant are just down right weird! And, not much fun. Other than sonograms, there's not a lot of fun stuff involved.

I got the baby's bedding washed and the bed made and it looks so cute. It actually looks like a baby could sleep in the crib now! I just hope I didn't attach the mobile wrong because it would suck for that thing to fall on the baby's head. I guess it's not that heavy so we should be okay but I'll have to have the hubster double check it for me. Here's a picture of the cuteness:

All I know is that our kid better like the ocean/beach or he's screwed. We're pretty much shoving it down his throat so he has no choice, huh? Anyway, back to the torture, I mean, work! Peace out...

Okay, okay, I know! I've been gone for what seems like a very long time. BUT, I have a good excuse. We've been working on the baby's room non-stop and it looks fabulous, if I do say so myself!!

We got the last piece of furniture this weekend, the armoire, and my wonderful hubby got it all put together. I didn't even hear any cursing coming from the room so it must not have been too horrible! The walls are almost completely done with their paintings. I have a few more shells to add to the beach here and there and we want to add our little Lucy's paw prints as well, but that is a two man operation so I can't do that one on my own. The last things I need to get done are to sew the window sheers, I have them slung over the curtain rods for effect but the seems are not yet sewn, and I need to make the crib bedding. I have all the fabric, I just want to wash it before I make it. I'm so excited that everything is coming together so well and I'm happy that the room will be ready before we bring this little munchkin home.

Speaking of the munchkin...he kicks and moves non-stop. It's a little disturbing sometimes. There is truly a little alien trying to get out. It's kind of freaky. I am also still freaked out by the thought that in about 2 months, 60 days!!! We will be bringing a child home! I know I should be getting used to the idea by now but really, I'm just getting used to the whole being pregnant idea. Oh my god, I'm going to have a BABY!!!

Anyway, I am going to catch up on everyone now. Here are some pic's of the baby's room:
