January Jellybeans 2013!...

Nik- i know u did your maternity pics over the weekend, so did we! your profile pic looks super cute

I had a $50 gift card to JCP portriat studio so we went yesterday and i brought some of our own ides in for pics. They actually had us sign a release form so they can use it as a promo pic! I got baseballs and each ball had its own lettered sticker on it to spell out the babies name " B-R-A-X-T-O-N-2013"
Hubby also had the idea of having my belly bare, and drawing baseball laces on my belly with red lipstick and we took pics like that with me wearing his teams baseball tank top rolled up and him cupping his baseball glove around the bottom of my belly. It looked SOOO cool! I cant wait to get the pics next week so hopefully i can share them with you all

We just got back from the baby show and we finally got our travel system yay!!! After 3 hours of being shown every pushchair known to ban, we decided on the oyster. Has anyone else bought this one?

OMG how funny - I was there too! I was so glad we'd already bought our travel system - that place was all kinds of overwhelming - it was HUGE! We did get a good load of things crossed off our list though!

I found it quite a stressful day as we were determined to find our travel system! It was the last thing to get on our list. We did get a nappy disposal bin too though

I found it stressful, and we'd picked ours - people constantly shoving fliers at you! A massive chunk went straight in the recycling bin when we got home! We did get some great deals on things we wanted though, and it was a great way to compare stuff without traipsing from one shopping centre to another. They were selling the travel system we bought at the show, but we didnt want to look incase they were doing a better deal than the one we got! I found the avent stand really overcrowded, and i dont know if was just me, but i felt weird about men trying to sell me breast pumps!! But we got a great deal in the playmat we wanted, and a bouncer chair, along with cute bibs, onsies and swaddle wraps, I also found a breast pump I liked, and the woman didn't weird me out while selling it to me!! So a good day all around really!

[Lilahbear]

Good luck deedee. Hope it all goes without a hitch this time. x

Argh 30 weeks today!! Let the seventy day countdown begin

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Thanks amazing ladies! So far no issues: )
Is it coincidence I'm sitted beside the bathroom? Lol

 

[sassy_mom]

Hope all you ladies are doing ok up north!! I know down here we are freezing! The temperature just dropped yesterday and doesn't look like it will be moving anytime soon. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! High today I think of 56. Stay safe up there ladies! Thinking of you all!!

Deedee I hope the medicine works for you so you can get through this testing ok.

 

[La Mere]

DeeDee- Good luck this time, hun! Hope it goes smoothly!

Alanna- Congratulations, hun! Wishing you a happy & healthy 9 months!

Sassy- its 22 here right now..... You gotta be kidding me! Supposed to get up around 63 or so they say.

Hoping all you girls in the east coast are doing okay! Must be dreadfully scary! will be thinking of all of you!

Still alive and still have power. The rain started last night and the wind is really picking up. Just heard on The Weather Channel that the storm is intensifying to stronger than they predicted.

I have a fair amount of the big stuff purchased off of my list, however, my infant seat is STILL not purchased. Grrr. I don't want to have to buy it - it's a Britax and expensive. My shower is this weekend at my in-laws house in NJ. Here's hoping for power. I don't know what we'll do about a sustained power outage.

 

[duckytwins]

DH said it could strengthen to a cat 2 by the time it hits here. So far, we still have power and internet. Not sure how much longer it will last, the wind is starting to pick up.

 

[sassy_mom]

Glad to hear you girls are doing ok! I'm hoping you don't lose power.

La Mere .... um BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! I would be hiding under a huge pile of blankets.

AFM: I'm trying to rest up. DH would be angry at me right now. He specifically told me not to do anything other than the dishes I loaded in the dishwasher ... I may have finished washing the rest by hand, wiped down the kitchen, started a load of laundry, folded and put away another load, fixed the loose tub faucet, and made two batches of tea. I also am waiting on the mailman so I can go check the mail and take out the trash in one trip. And then I still need to get out to feed the dog and sweep. Maybe DH won't notice.

It is hard for me to slow down and relax. I know I'm suppose to be letting him handle things and my doctor might fuss a little but seriously I cannot sit all the dang time. My feet were so swollen last night and I think that is why DH was fussing this morning. But I didn't drink enough water yesterday and we spent most of the day out shopping. I very much want to vacuum and mop but that might be pushing it if I did it all today. I just like to have things done. What can you do?

 

[brieri1]

Tomorrow is moving day! I'm posting it today because I'm taking our internet modem back today and I don't know when I'll get another chance to get on. They are coming to pack up our stuff and then we will clean the house, and then we will go to the hotel. My husband gets out of the marine corps on saturday!!!!! Yay! I'm so excited!

 

[sassy_mom]

I was just looking at my tickers ... I can't believe the changes that have happened and I can't believe we are on the home stretch!!! AMAZING!

 

[Lilahbear]

I have my flu and whooping cough vaccinations tomorrow morning. Anyone else had these yet and did you feel ok after them?

 

[La Mere]

Sassy- I know!! Lol, I just put some more wood in the wood stove, so at least it's warm inside!!!

Here's some pics I took this morning of my bump!! I think it's popped a bit more

I dont get any of the vaccines they recommend. I do live in a normally warm climate tho and am a germ freak.
