Recapping A Week

Edit: Click here to view our Target baby registry!

On Monday I went to class with Greg and snapped some shots of a tree on campus.

Shortly after class we headed out to the boonies to pick up a lovely dresser that we found on Craiglist. Thanks to the wife, we only paid $30!

We saw some friendly cows on the way. They came up to the fence and posed for pictures. They all waited their turn, lol.

On Tuesday we had a visit at the doctor’s office. The midwife checked my cervix and told me that I was 1CM dilated! We go back this Tuesday, I can’t wait to see if I’ve progressed.

On Wednesday I know I made spaghetti, lol, and that’s all I remember. The Prego was all in fun, we are Ragu fans.

On Thursday we splurged on burgers at Backyard Burgers. OMG the Bacon Chedder Burger is sooo good. Uh oh, I just realized I posted pictures of cows and now I’m talking about burgers . After chomping down we spent our gift cards at Target. We still have some stuff to get. It was a really fun day for us! Sorry, no pictures, lol.

On Friday we had an earthquake scare. Around 4:40 am I woke up to our house shaking and the windows rattling. I tried waking Greg up but by the time he woke up the shaking stopped. I got on my sidekick to do some research on earthquakes in our area but couldn’t find anything current. By 6:00 am it was all over the news and internet. I felt a little better after confirming the cause. We went back to sleep and at 10:15 am, we both were awakened to the house shaking again, after that I just said to hell with sleeping, lol.

On Saturday we took a trip to Hobby Lobby. I wanted some inspiration. I came out with a garden flower that spins in the wind and some ideas for Jayden’s first photo shoot . Later, we cast my belly! It was so messy, good thing we did it in the tub and not in the kitchen like the kit recommends. I was nakie during the process but put on some pants for the pictures. I had crunchies all over my legs and unmentionable zone . Of course a shower was in order.

Today was a peaceful day. We opened the windows and looked at rental listings. We bookmarked quite a few. I folded the rest of Jayden’s laundry in between. Sometime after that, I lost my mucous plug (read paragraph 2 before commenting about the plug please)! I also upgraded my blogs to the latest version of Wordpress. The admin looks horrendous, but it’s better to be secure than having a blog with an easy to navigate admin and be vulnerable to hackers. I’m pretty sure the Wordpress team is working on fixing the ugliness as many users have already complained.

Quite a few people have asked me about sending a baby gift our way so I’m going to edit our Target baby registry a bit and make it available. When I first found out that I was pregnant, I was hesitant to put up registries because I didn’t think anyone would purchase anything. For a day or two I put up a paypal donation link and then I took it down because I didn’t want to seem as if I was begging or being plain greedy for that matter. I come across bloggers who have sick children and can’t afford to pay their health expenses. Those are the ones who I feel deserve paypal donations. Of course there’s nothing wrong with asking for a donation if you have provided your readers with something resourceful (ex: plugins or other downloads), but I have nothing to offer right now, lol. That being said, I’ll stick to wishlists and registries. I really do appreciate the offers and will get our Target registry up shortly!

I think I’m going to stick with these weekly recaps if I’m MIA for a while. They work. Until next time!

Oh the belly cast looks so nice. I never had one done. You guys got a really great deal on Craigslist. That is one to remember. I am so glad you are putting the gift registry up. I never had a baby shower but I do love to buy gifts for babies!! I live in Milwaukee, WI and people were saying they could feel the earthquake here. Btw, your pictures are always so pretty and clear. If you don’t mind, what kind of camera do you use?
