Fabric for baby girl's room

I finally found the 3rd fabric for the bedding...

It came in the mail to my sister's house yesterday and I am excited that the colors actually match. I was soooo nervous since I ordered it online.

Her and a friend are going to work on the bedding this week.

I am so excited to see it all come together!

Spring Cravings

I have been having some new spring cravings I thought I would share.

I am still craving Ice Water like CRAZY, which if you know me is crazy. I have super sensitive teeth and normally can't stand ice cold beverages.

Here is my solution-insulated plastic cup w/ straw (Just happened to get this snazy Starbucks one as a gift) now the cold doesn't directly hit my teeth...Genius!

Not to say that I am over my cravings of fresh fruit and veggies but I have definitely ventured out...to ice cream or Drumsticks rather. I could eat five a day (I won't, but I could!)

mmmm, just looking at this pic makes me want one...right now...

And at two days shy of 30 weeks pregnant, I am getting uncomfortable and hot! I know it's only March and I don't want to image May heat, I may break into a sweat just thinking about it. I think I may need a Maxi dress or two to help me through the home stretch...

I love this green color for spring...

Looks like comfort to me...in my favorite color

or this fun striped one.

I may have to run into Old Navy tonight and see what they have since their dresses happen to be on sale this week.

I love Spring and the beautiful weather it brings.

Pregnant Pains

I am fully aware that I am a huge baby when it comes to being pregnant.

I am not one of those women that love it- in fact, the only thing I even remotely like (ok, love) about being pregnant is the baby that I get at the end.

This being said, I have been in alot of pain lately which explains my lack of posts.

Sciatic nerve pain which to me is the worst. To find relief I must lay down (which makes it hard to be productive) or stand up (which doing for too long makes me dizy and lightheaded, another problem in itself).

So this weekend and for many days now I have been lying down as much as possible.

My poor hubby.

The weekend wasn't all bad, I did manage to register for my shower (FINALLY) and I snuck in a movie with some girls.

We saw The Hunger Games and I LOVED it!

here's hoping I can find at least some small relief soon...

26 Weeks

Today is 26 weeks..14 (or so to go)...

I had dinner last night with two of my besties, Abby and Sarah. Sarah is also pregnant so we had a little belly fun.

Abby put this pic on FB and asked people to guess which one is having twins (Sarah, not me).

This is me & my friend Sarah

In defense of my hugeness, I am 8 weeks ahead of her and she will quickly pass me up once those twins start growing. We had such a good time catching up at dinner, it was exactly what this preggo needed

This week in my pregnancy...

The books say the baby is now the size of an English hothouse cucumber (really...can't they make a comparison people can understand) or almost 2 pounds and about 14 inches long.

-I have had really bad hip pain this week and apparently look pretty funny when I walk.

-I don't want to eat anything.

-I am constantly thirsty for ice water.

-Sleeping has been pretty hit or miss this week (probably because of all that ice water).

-I have had more energy this week than I have probably since I found out I was pregnant. I will enjoy it while it lasts.

My favorite sound

I think my most favorite sound in the entire world has got to be the sound of my children singing.

I tried to get a video, but he spotted me.

It just melts my heart.

When they are singing, I know that they are happy.

Happy singing kids = happy momma.

Morning Pick Me Up

This morning I had my glucose test to check for Gestational Diabetes...

Lucky me, I had this yum cocktail for breakfast!

Now if I could just have avoided the energy crash that came shortly after.

Happy Monday!

Nesting

This past weekend was the first time in a loooong time that I have actually had some energy and felt up to doing more than lounging on the couch.

Friday night while lying on the couch, I had this overwhelming desire to go clean out the toy room.

I can assure you this was no small feat.

I didn't get a before picture (bad blogger, I know) but just imagine toys everywhere, tripping on something every step you took, bins emptied. Not a pretty sight!

In the past I would clean the toy room only to have the boys pay in there and destroy it less than a day later.

I finally had enough and decided we had TOO MANY TOYS!!

This is the view from where I was sitting and sorting.

Hubby did help (I am pretty sure he thought I was crazy for starting such a ginormous project so late at night, and I am sure he thought I would make it half way through and then quit with exhaustion), and between the two of us we went through every bin, basket and box in the room. We literally laid our hands on every toy in the house.

It was a little overwhelming but so rewarding.

This is part of the "give away" pile...

more still..

The next morning hubby & Keddie loaded it all up and went to donate it.

I need an after pic, I know... I will try and get one tonight.
