Fat feet :(

I refuse to go shoe shopping for the rest of this pregnancy!!
I went to payless last night to get a pair of strappy low heel sandals and I had to go up a half size and get a wide!! My feet aren't swollen, but they have gotten bigger I guess?

Babyshowers, Maternity shoot, & an OH SH*T moment!

I really am lucky to have such great family and friends. My best friend of 10 years (who is also babygirls godmother) has been gracious enough to host a shower in September. And my very good friends that I work with at the restaraunt have offered to host a shower at the restaraunt on August 16th. I'm very excited! I will be shopping for shower outfits soon!! Yay!!

I also need to pick out a dress to wear for our maternity shoot we're doing. I'm thinking of wearing a white maxi dress that I seen at the mall a few weekends ago and seeing if I can find a sunflower hair clip thing somewhere on the internet. Since the nursery won't be done anytime soon I'm guessing we'll do the maternity shoot at either the city park. It's really pretty and has a small man made pond with ducks. It also has the Bayou Teche flowing through the park and huge old trees, so that would probably make for some good shots.

On a seperate note, I'll be 30 weeks TOMORROW!!!!!!!! I am seriously in shock. I can't believe I'll only have 10 weeks or so left. I haven't even signed with a contractor yet...I've met with a few but I'm waiting on their drawings and quotes to choose one.

I feel like I live in a freaking hotel

Okay so I've made a few comments about our buddy J who has been staying with us since JANUARY!! right? Well Darren's uncle C has also been staying with us the past few weeks. They both are working with us right now and Uncle C only has a few more weeks of work to do on the project he's working on so he'll be out of our hair soon. But I am honestly ready to pull my freaking hair out. I am trying to get custody of my cousin Britt. She has been staying with us all summer and I do not mind her being there one bit. At all. I love this girl to death. She helps me out so much, it's unreal. She washes the dishes without me asking her to, she has the house clean when I come home from work, she even picks up after D, J and Uncle C (even though I've told her NOT to). She walks my dog and takes good care of him too. This girl is such a huge help and I couldn't imagine making it through this long summer without her. So with me, D, Britt, J, Uncle C that makes 5 people staying in my little bitty house.....
I don't know how much longer I can take it before...
I move out
I kick someone out
I light my house on fire to get them all out

I thank God that I am working tonight so that I can have a break from all the male moodiness that is in my house tonight. I hope I close and I hope they are all asleep when I come home from work.

Sorry for the rambling..it probably doesn't make sense but I don't know how much longer I can take being HOTEL DE SPROLES!!!!!!!!

29 weeks

This post will not have a picture. I feel like total shiiiit today and I refuse to smile for a picture. I'll take a picture with the next weekly post.

I went to the doctor yesterday for my GD test. I was there for all of 2 hours. Gave 6 vials of blood. Doctor Haile measured my belly and I was measuring 29 centimeters..so I'm right on schedule with that. When I go back in 4 weeks I'll be 33 weeks and that'll be my last monthly appt. After that, I start going weekly..not ever other week, but weekly!! He wants to keep a closer (than normal) eye on things toward the end. I also start the fetal movement monitering things with my next appointment and also another ultrasound. I'd love it if Darren could go to that appointment just because it's so much going on. He hasn't made it to a single appointment yet. I doubt he'll make it to that one though because of the job their on right now. Production is expected to last until September so my apt in August I'll probably go to by myself. It's nice to hope though, right?

Okay...so onto the weekly update.

Total weight gain/loss: 26 lbs
Maternity clothes? Yep and I love them.
Stretch marks? I *think* I found 2 new ones on the side of my belly...

Movement: Most of the day now.
Food cravings: Nothing really.
Food aversions: None.

Weekly Wisdom: nothing new
Milestones: can't think of anything.

I'm ashamed to admit

That I am sitting here at my desk with my pants unbuttoned, my zipper unzipped, and my belt undone. I made a huge mistake wearing a pair of my "fat capris" to work today. I can't breath!! I have a sweater laying across my lap but seriously..what was I thinking??? I would freaking die if someone came in here and needed me to get up for whatever reason, I'd be like "hold on..let me do my pants up!" I will only wear maternity pants and my gaucho pants from now on...I am so uncomfortable!

I'm so glad today is a half day for me! 12:00 can't come soon enough!!

Oh and I made 28 weeks yesterday!! I am officially 7 months pregnant!

A little relief

I made an appointment to go see my chiropractor today at 2:00!! I can't wait to sit in the chair with a heating pad on my back along with those muscle twitchy pad things. Their chairs are one of the few massage chairs that I actually like. And Dr. Vidrine has magic fingers. He usually does a mini-massage before he adjusts you and it's great. I wonder how he's going to adjust me though...

Well I've got a few different contractors coming to the house over the next week or so to do estimates. I hope I find one that we like and agree on the price. I'm ready to get this started. I have put it off way too long.

Saturday me and my cousin Brittany are going to register for my shower. I think I'll even treat her to lunch somewhere yummy. I'm wanting Coyote Blues but we'll probably go to Buffalo Wild Wings because it's really cheap and I'm always up for some hot wings!

Found a tree decal

I was browsing the nursery decor board this morning while eating my breakfast and I found a site that has a 7 foot tall tree that ONLY costs $60! I can't freakin wait to order it.

I am calling a few contractors this morning to talk business. Hopefully we can get someone at our house this week to do a drawing and get this started. I very highly doubt this will be finished before baby girl comes but we'll see. I put it off too long..but it's my own fault.

We chose a name!!

Last night we were laying in bed trying to go to sleep. I was snuggled up against Darren's back in a way that his booty was right in front of my stomach. We were talking names and I think we decided on a name (squeee!!). Well I'm guessing baby girl wanted to voice her opinion because she started kicking really hard. Darren felt her kicking his booty!! It was hilarious!!

Don't ask what name we chose because we aren't telling. You'll have to wait until baby girl makes her big debut! It's really pretty and it's not "trendy". We have no family members or friends that have this name so we're really excited about that. Now we have to start thinking middle names!!

More Hmmm....

I want a closet organizer. Nuff said!
The type of crib I want. Our daughter's godfather has offered to buy her crib. So one night pretty soon we are all going to Lafayette to go shopping and then we'll be treating him to some awesome Coyote Blues!

Possible paint color ideas...going for a light springy green/celery green I think.

I think doing a branch instead of a whole tree would be best. I'd have it coming out of a corner in the room and over the crib or over the changing table or something.

Hmmm

I believe I found our little girls bedding. I hate the pink in it but it's the first one I found that was under $200 that didn't SCREAM frou-frou to me! I like the "bird" theme and I would LOVE to put a tree decal up on a wall somewhere in the room. Now I'm just searching for who has the cheapest price on this set.

Thoughts???

Just a warning...there will probably be a few more posts today. I will probably put my nursery "together" on my blog because I have nothing better to do at work today.

I hate July

Okay so I don't HATE July...I just dislike the month very much. And actually, it should be one of my favorites. We celebrate the 4th of July, which always includes lots of good food, good times, and good family and friends. My father in laws birthday and sister in laws birthday are in July. My parents (Dad and Stepmom) celebrate their wedding anniversary in July. It's summertime and the weather is usually gorgeous. So you might be wondering why I "hate" the month of July right? Well it's because our sweet sweet angel was taken from us almost 3 years ago now...July 25th.

I flipped my calendar this morning when I got to work and after I admired the pretty picture they have for the month of July, my heart sank.

I wasn't ready for this yet. I'm sure my hormones aren't helping any but I just really want July to come and go and be done with.
