Two Weeks, Two Days...

I haven't posted since we took our little trip. Wow, how things have changed. I am bigger of course, and I am feeling it. Some days are better than others. Compared to a lot of other pregnant women, I still feel like I am lucky to feel the way I do, but the cramping, pelvic pain, fatigue, and especially acid reflux are in full swing!

Let me go back in time. The lovelies in my family threw a wonderful shower on the 14th, on a great day, we got lucky with weather.
The shower was super nice, I only wish I had more time to spend with everyone. The damn gift giving took forever! It sucks watching someone open presents, and it sucks being the one to open them, because everyone is watching, and yelling at you to hurry up or slow down so they can see. It must have taken two hours to open all of the gifts. They took up half the baby's room! When I finally decided to go through them all last week, it took me about four hours to separate, make piles, etc.


On Saturday, we went to Babies R Us, to finish up the essential list of things like monitors, music, breast friends and crap like that. It was relatively painless. They reorganized the store to be very easily shopped. I used to walk in there and get the dry heaves when buying for others, so it was a relief to see them clean up their act. We have everything stock piled throughout the house. So, if it's a bath she needs, third floor. Breast milk storage, nip covers, bottles, my office/linen closet. Oh, you want to play do you? Basement kid!

The baby's room is actually a nice size, but the flokati rug we got may backfire, as it's fur has gotten everywhere. Whenever anyone comes out of there, they look like the abominable snowman. Plus, Filo has pissed and shit in there a few times to mark his territory, so I've already had to scrub it, and give it a haircut. So, not sure how much activity will be happening on the floor in that room. Pics of the nursery to come, when we get everything else hung. Hopefully that all happens soon, I just want the room done, even if she doesn't sleep in it for a while!

Now, we just need to pop the kiddie seat in (easier said than done), get the stroller (due in this week, fingers crossed), and have the baby. had a dream the other night that her head was that of a 75 year old man. She didn't just look old like some babies do, she had an old man's face. That'll be our luck...we have a 75-year old baby.
