22 Weeks, 2 Days and counting...

Today I am 22 weeks, 2 days and counting...Lil P is measuring the size of a spaghetti squash. Well actually since she is measuring a week ahead, picture a really big squash!

I've been experiencing some pains while exercising this week (okay I call it exercising but it's really a mild 15 minute walk on my breaks at work). I called and talked to the nurse- the walks are on hold until she can talk to the Dr. I'm sure everything is fine and that it's just normal pregnancy aches and pains. Who would have thought that moi would ever be disappointed about not being able to exercise??

I can definitely feel her moving bright and early in the morning and usually late afternoon. She loves when I play music on my belly and I can't wait for Andy to be able to feel her movements too! Here are a couple pics from the u/s last week:

3 lines= girl!

This is my 22 week bellly shot- I've noticed a nice new layer on my back too- don't think I can come up with an excuse for that. :)

Until next week! xo

Fed Ex guys are scared of me...

I may or may have not attacked the Fed Ex guy as he dropped off the baby bedding that came today. Okay- so sue me. I was excited to see it! (Come to think of it, he probably will.)

On a lighter note- I love it! Perfect color, quality and look that I was expecting. Can't wait to get everything in order!

Pleasantly surprised...

So after grilling all my friends, perusing 'Baby Bargains' and still feeling helplessly lost...I headed to Babies R Us today after work, ready to finally test out the car seats and check out the strollers.

I must admit- I did look like a deer in headlights. At first. Then one of the associates came over and squelched all my fears. She went through the various car seats/strollers and even brought them out to my car to see which fit best. She was young and I probably misjudged her (okay I misjudged her based on her age) but she turned out to be such a great help, patiently answered all my annoying questions and assured me I wasn't going to go crazy deciding on the perfect stroller system. I finally settled on a travel system and was lucky enough it even fit in my backseat!

Once I got home, I called the store and raved about the associate to the manager. It's not often you get that kind of service. And she assured me, she would be recognized for it. Score one for Babies R Us!

Whiplash...

From whipping out my debit card and ordering some nursery decor tonight!

Thanks to Adrian for finding the wall decals on Ebay (for cheap!) and I got the bedding set on sale with free shipping. Can't beat that! This is just the beginning... :)

The theme is ABC Mod- am hoping it'll transition into the toddler, preteen years too!

21 Weeks, 2 Days and counting...

It's time for me to cut up the credit cards, hide the savings account, ban myself from shopping malls...

*Drumroll*

After our ultrasound this morning, it's official. We're TEAM PINK!

Baby (I have to get used to saying 'she!') was very cooperative and we got the money shot we needed! We're so happy to be blessed with a healthy baby girl! She kept trying to touch her toes and kept holding her hand up to her mouth (practicing talking on her cell phone already- Lord help me!). It was adorable!

Here is my 21 week belly shot- and yes, there is only ONE baby in there!

We got a cd of pictures so I'll try to upload and post some later this week... in the meantime, I'm off to shop for all things pink on Ebay!

One person's trash...another person's treasure...

Today was Day One of the big B'Run garage sale- and so far, we're off to a great start!

Thanks to Nettie for my Starbucks fix and being my 'sales girl' partner-in-crime- And thanks to Jen for lunch and helping the time go by!

Most of our big items have sold and we've surpassed the dollar amount that we set as our goal. We had to close down shop at 2:30 due to the storm but hoping tomorrow's weather will help us sell the rest.

Happy selling!

Quote of the day

I read this today and for some reason, it resonated with me. Just wanted to share...
