Milk

I have a theory!! I think a glass of milk at night makes me sleep?? I'm going to test this out to make sure but I'm pretty sure the nights I have milk I have a better sleep. This makes me happy because I love milk. Yesterday I made the mistake of buying Horizons brand. Don't do it! It has a nasty taste. I usually buy a particular organic kinda but I noticed Horizon was 10 cents cheaper so I figured why not. Gross. I mean it will do when washed down with a chocolate cupcake but its not the best. Yes I can tell the difference between brands. I know its weird. If only it could be delivered to my door in glass jars......

9 fingers would suck

I'm pretty sure as the days go on I become more and more clumsy. Today while chopping tomatoes I almost cut my finger of. So much blood. I feel like I can't judge anything. I've dropped more and more things in the past few weeks then in my entire life. I was telling my Grandma about my salad dressing incident and she told me that after she had my mom my Grandpa told her no more babies cause it was too expensive (apparently she broke a ton of plates and things in the kitchen too) So I don't feel totally alone but I can't even imagine what is next. I have to cut portfolio prints today with an exact-o knife and I'm tempted to wait till blake gets home to do them. Its just too scary. Besides almost cutting off my finger baby is moving in some weird ways. It just feels like a lot of pressure. She is completely on my right side and she keeps sticking some body part really close to my ribs. Its not painful as much as its really really tight. I've never felt it like this before. I'm also feeling a bit crampy, nothing crazy but almost like really mild period cramps. I think that is normal? I don't think they are Braxton Hicks but I'm not really sure how those are supposed to feel?? All these new feelings are so strange!

after yoga photos

I look like I'm going to pop!. I've actually been feeling pretty good and for the last week I've been sleeping pretty good (of course waking up every hour to pee) but I go back to sleep and I think I'm pretty cozy. The new thing this week is my appetite. All I want to do is eat! I can't eat a lot since baby is taking up most of my room but I get hungry after every meal. I'm just rolling with it. I have a feeling these last few weeks I'm really going to pack on the pounds.
Today I dropped a glass bottle of salad dressing on the floor. It went EVERYWHERE, total mess. Not a big deal but seriously bending over to clean it was the most difficult task ever. I couldn't find a way to bend and reach. I kinda just stood there laughing. After I was done cleaning I was sore and winded. What a mess.

Mommy Blogs

I've mentioned before that I read a TON of mommy blogs. Some have a ton of good advice, some are filled with ramblings like mine, and some have giveaways. This is the site.

Also I added myself to the directory. I don't really have a super informative blog, its selfishly a way for me to bitch and complain and talk about fun stuff I like but I'm putting it out there so if you want vote for me. I think you just click on the banner below.

Dresser and Laundry Check!

We finally started building the dresser. Ok when I say we I mean Blake. Sierra and I watched and I ate a caramel apple. Started the crib last night but realized a piece was drilled incorrectly so we are waiting for a new one to get sent to us. Next step is getting a mattress but I want to measure the actual space and see if the one I want fits in there. I'm worried about having any gaps since I didn't get the mattress they suggested with the crib cause it was a foam piece of crap.

Finally decided I should start washing all the clothes which was actually really fun. They are so cute and little. I was laughing at the piles on the floor. I have never in my life had an entire pink pile. Our piles are black, gray, and stripes. I've been washing everything with the 7th generation detergent and I guess its fine but I wanted a little soft so I tried the Method dryer sheets. They smell like marshmallows and kinda in a weird way. I'm wondering if there is something better that is natural?

Next step after everything is built is painting. Still trying to decide between a green or purple but wanted to see the bedding in the crib first. After that just getting bins to organize all the little things that won't fit in the dresser. She won't actually be sleeping in the crib for months but I still want to have it set up and ready. Oh and must frame all the pictures too. I have a list going of all the sizes I need but need to decide if I want white or light wood frames. Ok maybe there is a lot to do.

My frist shower

Had my first baby shower on sunday which was hosted by two of Robins of friends, Pam and Nancy. It was a tea party theme and everything was soooooo cute! We had a really yummy breakfast of the most delicious casseroles I've ever had. The best part was the little cupcakes. I'm not going to talk about how many I ate. Everyone wrote down their best parental advice on a little card for me which I loved. I love stuff that I can look back at in a few years. I got some amazing gifts! Little critter is going to have one hell of a wardrobe and will be VERY spoiled. I'll take photos of all the goodies eventually. Here are a few photos from the shower for now.

Baby Gavin

This weekend was filled with baby showers and fun! I am taking this monday to do NOTHING! I am so mentally and physically exhausted. I slept in till 8:45, made myself a waffle and am now sitting in my pjs. My plans include laundry and making vegan treats for Blake. Boring maybe but I need a mellow day.

On saturday my mom and I drove out to Temecula to South Coast Winery for a baby brunch for Natalie. She is pregnant with her second baby, little Gavin. Nat is due about 10 days after me. It was a lot of fun and the weather was amazing. We sat outside and had a lovely lunch.
