Nursery Ideas

So I found this cute website and found this picture of a little guys nursery... My mom and I are supposed to start making my little guy's nursery stuff this month and this is very similar to the idea I'm headed for... So Cute!!

Thoughts...Opinions...

So, I don't know how this works, but I thought I'd get other people's opinions about this.

So, when we did our wedding registry we did everything in store. I think there were a lot of items you could get online as well, but they were all available in store.

Now that it's coming time for us to start thinking about our baby registry there are more things that are available online that aren't available in store. So, I need your help!

The stroller combo, pack-n-play, high chair, and all that stuff that matches is only available online in the pattern that we like. We wanted a cute, gender neutral pattern, and the one we like isn't available in any store that I can see. So, do you think it's a bad idea if we register for them if they are only available online?

26 Weeks! Less than 100 days to go!

So, today marks the first day of my 26th week, so I have about 98 days to go!! This month has flown by. Tonight Justus and I are flying to Las Vegas for my birthday, Thanksgiving and a soccer tournament. I'm so excited! It's our last "big trip" until the baby is here. I won't be going on any trips until June for Regionals in New Mexico.

The little guy had the hiccups last night and it was kinda funny. He had to be laying from side to side, so head on my left side and feet to my right because each side of my tummy would jump when he'd hiccup!! It was hilarious!! I was laughing, but since it was like 1am I had to be quiet while Justus slept...it was silly though! And before I fell asleep last night I was just watching him move around in my tummy, but when I'd tell Justus to look he'd only catch the tail end of his movements.
He does move around a lot at night compared to the day I guess. Justus couldn't sleep the other night so he had his hands on my tummy and was feeling him move around and feel him with another case of the hiccups. He was shocked I stayed asleep during all that movement, but I can sleep anywhere through almost anything.

Boys, Boys, Boys!

So, I know lots of friends, family and co-workers that are pregnant right now...so far almost all of them are having boys!
Kelli & Kyle- Boy Due Feb 27th (one week before me)
Erin & Robert (Koelliker cousins)- Boy Due March 2nd (same day as me and Justus!)
Emily Knight (co-worker)- Boy Due a few weeks after me
Katie & Scott (co-worker and wife)- Boy Due a month after me

Babies that are already here...
Nic & Joyce (Justus' brother & wife)- Baby Jack born August 27th (born about 6 months before our baby is due)
Nicole- Just recently had her little baby boy
Holly & DJ- Had their little boy in April of this year

I have a few more friends that are prego right now that are due soon or in the next few months around me but their having girls. It's been fun to know all the people that are pregnant at the same time so we can swap stories!! I even had another friend tell me that she's expecting too!! But, it's on the down low right now until they're ready to announce it to the rest of the world. But I'm still super excited!!

Neighborhood Car Wreck?

So, is it possible for someone to leave their house and 30 seconds later get into a wreck? I'm sure it is.

Yes, this almost happened to me this morning. Now I know that Day Break roads are kind of strange if you aren't used to them. But, if you are observant while driving you should do fine if you have ever driven a car before.

Let me set up the scene for you if you haven't been out to Day Break. Most areas of the neighborhoods have one way alleys behind the houses and then just regular streets everywhere else. So, pretty normal, nothing too strange I'd think.

So I pull out of my garage and head down my alley and out onto the streets. Now, if you haven't been to my house (which most people haven't) I only live two streets away from 10400 S. so not too many intersections I have to go through to get out of my neighborhood. So really, getting in an accident in my "hood" doesn't seem likely. Well, I make my left hand turn off of Milford onto Topview, and its smooth sailing to 10400 S, no stop signs for me now until I get to 10400 S. So, I'm driving about 15 mph and I'm coming up to the next street High Mountain Drive I think, and I see three cars. One turning left like I had just done, one coming straight opposite of me, and another turning right opposite the left hand turner. (I hope that makes sense!) Anyway...So the left hand turner sees me coming but I don't think they saw the other car coming my way, so they turned out in front of them and the car going straight stops so they don't hit them (almost car wreck number one). I slow down even more just to make sure the intersection is cleared. But, for some reason, the stupid STUPID construction workers turning right must have thought it was a four way stop or something because they turned right in front of me!! I slam on my breaks (not too hard since I was going like 5 mph at this point) and I just blare on my horn, which isn't very loud but still... They look at me like "oops" and then signal me to go around them. HELLO!!! You are blocking my driving space anyway since I'm like a foot away from the side of your stupid van and you want me to go around you? Been driving long???? So finally they just finish their turn and drive up to the stop sign at 10400 S and I'm assuming they wanted to say something to me because their window was rolled down. I just stayed back because sometimes I feel like saying things I shouldn't when stupid people do stupid things while driving. I'm sure you all know how that goes...

They just sit there. They had plenty of time to go straight, turn right or left like 10 times!! So I'm getting more fed up with these idiots so I just pull up next to them, don't look at them though, make sure I'm clear to turn right and just head to work. I'm all in a rage at this point...trying to calm myself down though because stress and babies don't mix well.

But seriously!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!

Oh, and I wanted to give a shout out to the guy in the white Colorado truck. Just because you are in a hurry doesn't mean the rest of us good people have to speed up in construction zones just so you can be on time to where ever you need to be. If you are late, that's your fault. Don't ride the tail of every car in front of you!! Just accept the fact you are late and get over it. And riding people's tails doesn't make it faster. Yes, you were in front of me by a long ways on 7800 South but you still got caught at every single light that me and all the cars around you did. So, really did you burning rubber and tailing other cars really accomplish anything?! NOPE!!!

SNOOGLE!

I LOVE MY SNOOGLE!!

So, I've had trouble sleeping the last week. My back has been hurting so bad. Justus has had to wake me up several times because I was moaning like I was in pain or having a nightmare, and/or I was grinding my teeth which I guess gets loud too. So, two days ago I decided to invest in a body pillow of some sort to help me sleep during the last months of my pregnancy and I LOVE IT! I slept so well the first night with it. Last night I slept a lot better as well. Its also nice to prop up in different positions when I'm just laying in bed too.

HOORAY FOR THE SNOOGLE!!

23 Weeks and Counting...

Yep! I'm 23 weeks today! And Finally, Finally I'm posting a good picture of my belly! It isn't that big yet, but its certainly growing every day. My biggest "fear" is my naval is now starting to stick out slowly...I like having an innie!! Haha
I went to the doctor a week ago today, and everything is great.
My uterus is just as big as it should be.
It was 22 centimeters, which was supposed to equate to how many weeks I am.


Some days my belly looks bigger than other days...maybe I just hide it under some of my clothes better than others. Not that I'm trying to hide it, but it just gets hidden! Apparently someone at work didn't believe I was prego a few weeks ago because they said I wasn't showing at all.
Not the case anymore!!

Ta-dah!! Its our little guy!! This is the little guy at our ultrasound we had about 3-4 weeks ago. He's growing so much. He's kicking and punching all over now. And he might have had a case of the hiccups last night. Maybe that's why I couldn't sleep at all and I have a stiff...stiff back today. I woke up this morning pretty much bawling because my back is so sore. And I can't take anything to help :( Not to mention I slept like garbage as well. I woke up at least, at least once an hour until about 4am when I was able to get 2 hours of sleep in a row before waking up at 6am again. Man...at least I didn't get more leg cramps like the night before or I would still be asleep right now!
