Dear me, don't forget this...

  
     This week has been insanely busy! It's finally Friday though, and tomorrow is our BABY SHOWER!!!! I thought Christmas was the most exciting thing, but once you start receiving baby things...entirely different story. I no longer care about new shoes, cute dresses, and my warcraft account. Now there's nothing I enjoy more than opening little baby outfits, bottles, breast pads, and diapers. DIAPERS! They've already become the bane of my existence. Where do you store them all?! We already need a closet solely for diapers and wipes.
     It's been getting even harder to sleep at night. I'm lucky if I get an hour in before I start waking up. It's not just to pee every 15 minutes, but to break up the monotony of laying in bed all night not being able to sleep. I've developed a pretty good routine though, I really have. It involves eating chocolate, checking my email, and seeing if my neighbors lights are on and I can catch them naked.
     I'm not complaining one bit though. I still think it's magical that I'm storing a baby inside of me. I feel like I've taken so much of this pregnancy for granted, and at some points, I've forgotten to stop and just enjoy it. It's our very first baby, the start of our little family, and now that we've almost made it to the end, I think a congratulations is in order. Congrats Jesse! We successfully created a human with our genitals!

33 weeks!!

I forgot to mention, Sunday I hit 33 weeks! SO excited. Gettin' down to the nitty gritty!

Happy Monday!

     Hey all! Hope everyone had a fantastic Mother's Day weekend! I definitely did. Although Sadie isn't here yet, Jesse and I decided since I've been carrying her around with me for the past 7 and a half months, I'm totally considered a Mother. Saturday we had our Momma's (and Papa's!) over for brunch. I made yummy little frittata's and heart shaped pancakes. It was an overall good time filled with good conversation and edible food. (There as going to be a cobbler also, but I decided it didn't look "servable" and tossed the disaster in the trash). Here's some pics:

     

     Sunday was equally as awesome, maybe even a little bit more awesome. Jesse made me an incredible breakfast followed by an incredible lunch and then an incredible dinner! It was...you guessed it, INCREDIBLE! He even watched three episodes of "Pregnant in Heels" with me. It was a really nice, super relaxed weekend. How was your Mother's Day!?

Toilet babies...

     Now that we're getting down to the final countdown of this pregnancy, I've been thinking a lot about toilet babies. I'm 32 weeks now, and I'm starting to get worried she'll pop out before she's done cooking, and we won't be able to bring her home right away. That would be HORRIBLE. How would I be able to leave my baby at the hospital and go back home!? I think I would just move in until she was good to go. Anyway, the whole toilet baby thing isn't really a concern of mine, just something I've been trying to understand. If you've never seen "I didn't know I was pregnant" on TLC, here's a little snippet.



     My favorite is obviously the women who looked into the toilet and "found her little girl." When you're in labor, you feel an incredible urge to push, but I didn't think it was going to feel like taking a crap.

     Sadie's been wiggling like a mad man lately. Last night Jesse said when he felt her kick, it was the strongest yet! I'm still betting she'll be a super hero.

Ugh, rain?

     Ugh, it's a rainy Tuesday and I can't seem to get myself motivated to do much of anything. At first I thought maybe I wished the snow away too soon, but I starting to really enjoy all of the rain we've been getting. Sure, it puts a damper (haha) on things like walks, and sunshine but it makes it nice and cozy to be home which is where I'll be most of the week. I have SO much work to catch up on. "Love Like Laughter" has taken a total nose dive, and I've finally had some good ideas roll around for new product. Here's one of the necklaces I made today:

     My leg is so much better! I can walk around most of the day without limping, and it doesn't take me 10 minutes to get up the stairs. I'm so lucky to have gotten better so quickly. Physical therapy has been a blessing, and I'm sure I wouldn't be feeling as good without it. 

     Here are some things that are inspiring me this week:
