Well first let me start by saying that yesterday was bad...not like normal bad but like completely crazy pregnant lady bad. I cried...no, I bawled my eyes out first thing yesterday morning because the dogs were being a bunch of nuts (seriously...lol) and then felt like a total emotional/fat/unaccomplished terd for the rest of the day. Well until Mitchy came home and we headed up to Celebration. My hubby, that place and the people in it always know just how to lift my spirits back to where they need to be.
So today I made my mind up before I even opened my eyes that today WOULD BE a great day no matter what!! And once again, the bible rings true for me....believe it, will it, and it will happen!! :)
I got up and the dogs were perfect angels all morning. I even got down on the floor and played with them some to get rid of some of their energy. Liesel cracks me up when she gets going like she did this morning. Reminds me of when she was a puppy and that brings my heart so much joy! So then I decided that I was going to take my undeniably handsome and wonderful husband some lunch since he is working a 12 hour shift today and forgot to pack a lunch for himself. Well, before I left the house, I checked the mailbox and was THRILLED to find a couple of little packages in there! Two more cloth diapers (they are SO tiny and CUTE!!) and a new shirt for mommy (me)! :) WooHoo!! So I put on my new shirt and ran out the door. On the way to see Mitchy for lunch I decided to stop by Babies R Us and go ahead and buy our travel system. YAY!!! We had a 20% off coupon which saved us $46(!) and also we get double bucks on our reward card this weekend! CA-CHING!! Send us some more coupons thank you very much!! (Ok I think maybe it's time for a new paragraph...hehe)
So then I went and had lunch with Mitch which is never long enough but always a treat anyway getting to see him in the middle of the day. Got to talk to my dad for a little while which always puts a smile on my face. As much as I hate to leave my honey for a few days, I am so looking forward to going and visiting Dad & Dana in a couple of weeks and just getting away from the stress that has been eating me lately. So I get home and I give our real estate company's rental office a call and ask the girl in there (who was actually really nice for once today!!) if she can find out about us possibly being able to paint Sophi's room and she called back and said YES!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness I am getting so excited....this is all starting to get so real!!! So here is what we have so far combined w/ what will go on by the end of October:
- We bought our crib last week but it's still in the box
- Need to finish moving furniture out of future nursery if my poor husband ever gets a day off of work.
- Bought the travel system today!
- Next week we are ordering the dresser and mattress
- By the end of October the room will be painted, crib and dresser will be assembled and hopefully we will have the crib bedding here, washed and in her crib!
It's so awesome!!! I can picture it all in my head now how beautiful it's going to be! I told Mitch don't be surprised if he comes home to find me pushing the travel system around the house with one of Sandra's baby dolls in a cloth diaper in the infant seat! Hehe or Enzo! Now that would be a sight! :)
Oh! If you have made it this far through this completely caffeinated and jumbled blog entry, I will tell you a couple more things. :) The Rice in me doesn't know when to stop talking! ;)
So, Saturday (20 weeks, 4 days) we felt Sophi's first real kick! And she hasn't slowed down since! Every day I feel her dancing around in there and it is so completely amazing! I can't wait until our next doctor's appt. when we get to hear her little heart beating again! We don't get another ultrasound until 32 weeks unless we choose to have the elective ultrasound done but we will have to come up with the money for that one. Feeling her moving and getting stronger and getting to hear her little heart beat once a month will be good enough for me though I think. ;)
So mom & I went to Target (always dangerous!) last weekend with the intention to only look and not buy anything. Riiiiiiight because that's exactly what ALWAYS happens when we go to Target, right? Uh....wrong. teehee :) It's not much but Sophi's Granna (my mommy) did cave in and buy Sophi her first girly-fied outfit. We absolutely fell in love with it!! And now, here is a picture of it...
And for all of you nay sayers out there...here is a picture of my starter stash for cloth diapers. Don't even fib and say they aren't adorable! ;) The two on the left are more for the newborn stage and the two on the right will be a part of the stash that will grow with her from about 12lbs through potty training age.
And here is a pic of what our crib will (hopefully) look like once we get it out of the box and put together...
Ok that's all for now. When Mitch gets home tonight I will try to remember to have him take a new belly pic (not that a whole lot has changed this week) and will upload it then. :)
