Nesting to the Extreme...

As you all know, this pregnancy has been a bit crazy.  And to say a "bit" doesn't even come close to describing how my life has been the last few months.  We moved twice in 3 months...yes you heard it right!  I was excited upon the first move, because we were moving into a 4 bedroom house and that would mean I could have a nursery for baby boy.  It didn't turn out as I had first envisioned, but I was in love with it none the less. Those of you who know me well, know that I do not like all things generic, and a generic boy nursery is not up my alley. 

I finished the nursery and not more than a few weeks later the dreaded news came.  We will be moving.  Then the harder realization came...there was no way we were finding a 4 bedroom house.  Time for the boys to bunk up! 

In my life things have to coordinate, they have to match.  I am very much OCD when it comes to this issue.  Now, my cute little safari themed nursery in NO way matched with the airplane/spiderman room that Preston has.  (I know, I know, airplanes and spiderman don't match either, but I have learned to live with it.)  I quickly learned that removing all (or even some) things spiderman was a crime to humanity.  So, needless to say my nursery plans had to change. Baby does not care what he sleeps in.  Preston, on the other hand, may never forgive me.  This is what we ended up with.

**please note: no spiderman bedding was removed for the taking of this picture**

Generic, yes.  But it will have to do.

This is how he would much rather his bed look.  He came in right before I took the picture of the room and saw that his precious spiderman was covered, and I thought that poor boy was going to have a heart attack.

As you can tell, we did not paint this house.  Moving at 34 weeks was hard enough, I was not about to paint as well.  

More pictures to come soon...

A Little Bit of Whine....

Excuse me for one post.  I just have to say it!  

These may not look like swollen feet, but rest assured people, for me this is puffy pregnancy feet.  Not fun!  The worst part?  My hubby is not around to rub them.  How in the world did he get out of the last month of this pregnancy?

At 35 1/2 weeks I feel like I am getting bigger.  I think it really started happening last night because today I was so uncomfortable..even in the water.  Really I am just jealous that one of my friends, due about the same time as me, was induced today.  So not fair!
Pregnancy glow?  Nope.  I work hard by sitting at the pool all day!  What a life.
This post is really just a procrastination on a blog about the most recent move and my new house.  It will happen.  I just have to clean my house before I can take pictures.  I can't have you thinking that I live in a less than perfect home at all times!  Be proud of me though.  I blogged 2 days in a row!  

Sweet Spirits

After seeing this picture, my precious baby boy said, "Look mommy it is Jesus!  I like him, he is my friend"

Don't you just love the sweet spirit of children?  

Happy Memorial Day

On this day, my 196th of pregnancy, I am left to wonder...Will there ever be an end?  I can't breathe, I can't sleep, my back hurts...I could go on and on!

According to the countdown, I have 83 days to go.    

Am  I complaining?  Yes.    

Trying to jump-start...

Okay, okay...I know it has been a while.  A long time really!  I swear, to my one devoted reader, that I will begin to blog once again.  My goal being that I will try to blog once a week, at least until the baby is born.  I can make no promises...but I will try to improve!

Twi...WHAT???

Do I love Twilight?  Yes.  Am I slightly obsessed?  Yes.  Did I go at midnight to buy Breaking Dawn?  Yes.  Did I stand in line at Borders will all the crazy twilighters?  No.

There was a time when I thought I should have gone and been a part of all the craziness.  Then there was last Tuesday night.  I had my first experience with the real true "Twihard" fandome.  Can I say....never again?  The actors that play Victoria, Laurent and Jacob were at my mall on Tuesday night.  All the crazies gathered outside my store about 2 hours before the actors even got there. It was a very eventful evening as I listened to them scream and chant "Jacob" for approximately 4 hours.  The funniest thing I saw all night was a girl sobbing while her mother comforted her.  Why you ask?  She met Jacob...oh JACOB...JACOB!!!!  AHHHHH...JACOB!  

One of my sales associates was a part of all this madness.  She is way more obsessed with the series than anybody I know.  She even came back from the signing and said it was totally crazy.  Especially with all the little teenagers high-pitched screaming all night long!  She stood in line all night long to get a poster of Victoria, James and Laurent signed.  But, umm....is there someone missing?  Jacob wasn't even on the poster.  WHAT?  

Aside from all my friends I have not met any grown ups that are Twilight fans.  Then the other night in my store I overheard, said sales associate, talking about Twilight to one of our clients.  I looked up because I was wondering why in the world she was doing this.  When she saw that I was paying attention to her she said, "she likes Twilight too!"  I was so excited to finally meet a fellow grown up Twilighter, one would have assumed I was one of those crazy fans standing out in the cold!

So, will I go see the movie?  Yes.  Will I go for the midnight showing?  Most definitely not!  Will I go sometime opening weekend when there is more likely going to be more adults that rabid teenage fans?  Most absolutely yes!

Race for Second Base 2008

Today my friend, Kathy, and I did the Race for the Cure 5k run/walk.  It was so inspirational to see people from all walks of life there to support such a worthy cause!  Last I heard, more than 62,000 people had registered for the race.  We were supposed to meet up with some people from my work , but there were so many people there...that never happened!  Go, Team Ann Cares!!!

We saw some very interesting people, but this poor man was the most interesting by far.  So many people were stopping him and asking to take his picture. Way to go for supporting a cause!

Thank you to Ann  Taylor for supporting their employees.   Thanks to Kathy for a wonderful day!  I look forward to many more races in the years to come. 

***thanks to "Team Save Second Base" for my title.  Kathy and I laughed about it all day!***
