Third

I thought I'd celebrate making it to my third trimester with a little sneak peek at what's happening in the nursery. (Yes i finally decided I better get crackin' or else little bean would end up sleeping in a drawer)

Without further ado.....  we have this

and a little of this

and a dash of this

with a side of this

and a sprinkle of this on top

Not to be outdone of course by these

Now that I've got a plan and started the execution, I'm ready for it to be done done done. Just waiting on the curtains to arrive and my lazy butt to get in gear and make the crib skirt (why? because I'm never happy unless my plate is full full full).  Can't wait to show off the finished project. And to have little bean snoozing in that gorgeous crib. 89 days people. 89 DAYS!! WHAAAAT.

To make matters even sweeter, a friend who had an awful miscarriage last year just told us yesterday they are 14 weeks. I could not have been further over the moon. Another friend is having an IUI today. Praying so hard for her - no one deserves it more!!!!!!  I never ever ever thought i would get to a point where these things made me happy instead of leaving me feeling like I wanted to throw up.  It's almost hard to believe. But here we are.

I kind of like it here.



What Counts

98  - the number of days left til my due date. HOLY SHIT FIRE.

50 – the number of people invited to just ONE of my baby showers. **sigh** To say people are excited about this baby would be an understatement. The number of thank you notes I am facing ranks right up there with my wedding.

18 – the number of days until my SIL is due. I beat she’s freaking out a little bit right now. hehe

6 – the number of hours I spent in L & D.  You read that right. On New Year’s Day, my belly started hurting at dinner. I actually found it difficult to walk to the buffet. It wasn’t until the pain became excruciating Thursday that I decided I better get it checked out. Glad I did. After a ‘full’exam (uuugh) and an ultrasound that came up empty, they sent me to L & D to be monitored for possible premature labor. WHAT THE WHAT?  Turns out I was having contractions due to dehydration. SCARY AS HELL.

5- the number of hours of sleep I am averaging per night. IF I’m lucky.  Yeah – how the frick are you supposed to get anywhere remotely near comfortable? Please tell me this.

 3 – the number of hours before I attempt prenatal yoga. They could probably sell tickets because I’m sure it’s going to be quite entertaining.

1- the number of weeks left in my 2nd trimester. How did that happen??????

0 – the number of times I smiled after receiving our first day care quote yesterday.  Good God people. You only have to keep it from 8am to 5pm not raise it until its 18. SHEESH……
