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!

So it’s about time for an update…

Wednesday was a tiring day for me. Management needed to show the house so Greg and I decided to run some errands while they did. It’s uncomfortable having people in your house observing and waiting for them to get out so that’s why we chose not to be there. We went to the mall because I wanted to use my coupons for Bath and Body Works for the 3rd time. Tomorrow will be my last visit since the coupons expire then. I know they are tired of me, lol. I doubt they will ever have a deal this great in the near future. Walking through the mall was a struggle since Jayden has dropped. Greg asked me if I was ok and if I even wanted to be in the mall. I told him I was fine, I just need oxygen, lol. After the mall, we stopped at Walmart and that is when I realized I didn’t want to be out. It just wasn’t my day. My back, pelvis, legs, and feet were killing me. After we returned home I fell out.

I vaguely remember yesterday. I chatted on AIM with a buddy that I haven’t chatted with in a while. I rarely get on AIM and when I’m on it’s to talk to her, lol. It’s just hard trying to multi task and instant message on top of that. I’m working on it. It stormed all day yesterday, so that was a plus. Greg and I love thunderstorms and snuggling during them so we did just that last night.

I finally got around to buying goodies for my camera. I’ve been wanting a new lens since forever so I bought one as well as a UV filter, tripod, camera bag, screen protector, remote, and some other small trinkets. Jayden’s on his way so I absolutely NEEDED this stuff, O:-). It seems as if whenever I start buying little extras something breaks and needs to be replaced. This time it was the keyboard on my imac. The spacebar and “-” button died on me today, so now I’m using an old 1998 Gateway keyboard until the one I ordered arrives. I hope I’m not damaging my mac in the process, but I had to use something. I can’t get much work done without a spacebar.

Well, I’m off to probably lay down and call my mother. Before or after Greg gets home I’ll start on dinner. Below are some sample shots I took using my new lens. *drool*

Shopping and Rambling

My nails (referring to last post) didn’t even last a day before the polish starting chipping off, lol. I can never keep polish on my finger nails long, my toe nails do just fine. That’s because they stay safely covered in fluffy socks and they don’t have a care in the world.

Tuesday Greg and I went to the mall so that I could use my Bath and Body Works coupons (thanks Tanyetta!) and spend my Old Navy gift card. It seems like all stores are having a 40% off sale, which isn’t much of a deal to me. I like to go for the super clearance racks. But man oh man did I have a mental fit looking at all of the cute clothes and accessories that I know I’m not supposed to be buying. I just used what I’ve seen for fashion inspiration and money making motivation. It’s not like I can’t pick up a few things now, but I’m trying to be good! I have piles of clothes that I need to list on eBay (clothes I wanted to sell before the pregnancy), so the money I make off of auctions will support my new wardrobe items. After I drop my load, I’ll be able to see how jeans fit without a belly. I’d hate to buy something and have them fitting all loose on me post pregnancy.
