Invitations Are Done!!!

My mommy and faithful helper! :)


We started on Wednesday, 09/8 and finsished them yesterday, 09/13/10! With lots of help from my mom and countless hours we finished! I'm so happy, my goal was Friday, but it's okay, Sunday was okay. I still haven't mailed them out because I want to confirm with post office employee that they do not need extra postage. The buttons are a lil bulgy and so envelope is not flat. I'm going during lunch to find out, tried to do it this am, but no luck. Glad I brought a sandwich for lunch. Also brought my chicken pot pie leftovers from Cheddars. Me and my mom went to Cheddars yesterday and it was sooooo delicious, we even stuffed ourselves with the stack of onion rings.


So 2 of my co-workers who are unable to make it to my baby shower have showered lil baby Christian already. I got a gift on Friday and one today. More clothes for my sweet lil baby. Today I got a cute lil ducky robe and a Winnie the Pooh hooded towel from Ms. Rosa M. Friday I got 3 blue outfits, one has cute puppy feet, a onesie with cars, and a solid blue onesie with matching shorts.


I went to the Salvation Army this weekend and found a few deals. I got the CUTEST John Deere boots with velcro at the back for easy on and off. They had them in pink too, but I resisted. If I have a lil girl later, she'll just have to be a lil tomboy in the boy ones! haha

Friday!



I'm so glad today is Friday!! I have so much to do still with my baby shower invitations. Thank God for my mom who is helping me! We have another date today. I hope to be done by Sunday, thats my goal. I wanted them out TODAY, I can settle for Monday. It is a very stressful process, but I know the final outcome will be all worth it. It really is like planning my wedding all over again.

Today I'm sending payment for the community center. I have to decide on cake and where I'm getting it. So much to do...I'm overwhelmed.

Tomorrow I'm going to a free newborn caring seminar out by 610 and Ella. I may treat myself and hit my fave thrift store and def getting a corn in a cup and raspa at Tampico. I need it after a stressful week. Carlos is such a sweetie, he helps around the house so much so that I can do the invitations. I appreciate all his help and sweetness. I really did marry the best man possible! I couldn't imagine being without him or experiencing mommyhood with any other person, but HIM!

26 Weeks and 1 Day


I absolutely love this top my mom got me. It is really fitting perfectly now! I envision it with leggings once it gets cold. I have the leggings to go with it already.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, I LOVE You!!!

Finally started to work on my baby shower invitations last night for just a few minutes. I'm going to tackle the project tonight with some help from Vicky. I really wanted to get these out on Friday already....We shall see.

So today I'm 26 weeks along in the pregnancy. I'm still feeling good and keeping active, but definitely NOT trying to lose weight as someone who shall remain nameless suggested. On Monday while cleaning all of a sudden I felt dizzy, this was probably the 3rd time ever during the pregnancy I felt like this. This time it was bad, I had to sit down and take a lil break. I had eaten so I'm not sure why I felt like that. I'm glad it passed though because I had the whole day to clean the house and work on the baby room. I really feel like I was productive on Monday. The sorting and packing away all my memories is really coming along. I came across lil stuff that I don't want, can't sell, but can't bear to throw away so I'm donating it to one of those donation dumpsters, someone will want my old treasures! LOL My treat after a day of cleaning and being stuck at home all day was Chipotle dinner with Carlos. Omgosh, bad move...it gave me bad heartburn and I was just as stuffed as my burrito! I was scared to lay down. Never again will I do it, well not during pregnancy that is. It wasn't even all that, tasted kind of dry, I think it needed more sour cream. The guacamole on the side wasn't it's usual creamy self...Even Carlos agreed, I'm NOT just being the picky preggo! lol

This morning while driving in I was so sleepy still. I was upset I only got 10 minutes of workout time because of nosey people wanting to check out pulled over cars. I honk at people going slow doing that, it really pisses me off. I'm nosey too, but I only check out accidents and stalled cars when I'm a passenger. I've had my share of accidents and believe me, I do NOT want another one on my record! LOL I'm so happy I'm just about done paying on my car. I should be able to save more and/or splurge more on my lil boy once he's here. Back to morning commute, I'm going to aim to leave the house @ 6am to hit the gym and have enough time to workout and then get ready for work. Pretty soon I'll be carpooling with my mom. We live and work pretty close to each other, only she has a different work schedule, but she can alter it at anytime. I can't wait to carpool, it will be less traffic time for me with the HOV.

So yesterday my baby doppler came in. In great timing too because my sweet mommy came over to bring me some homemade chicken and veggie soup she makes so delishly. So my mom was able to hear the baby's heartbeat. I cried of joy of course and so happy to share the moment with her. I'm always able to hear him on my right hand side so apparently that's where he loves it. Before we went to bed me and Carlos heard the baby together, it was amazing. I never get tired of hearing my lil baby's heartbeat and I just can't wait to see him in person and hug and kiss him allllllll day long!

Baby Room is Coming Along...

The closet with just diapers in it for now...I need to go get some white hangers and start hanging up stuff for my lil baby.

I'm still separating things and hope to get some of the totes labeled and put away. The only ones I'll need access to will be my scrapboooking & pictures/albums, everything else can be hidden in the attic.
