ADDING TO THE NURSERY

We're excited about the nursery we've created for the baby! Since her time to be born is coming right up and we don't know when exactly she'll come, I've been trying to have everything ready and in order ahead of time-then I wont have to scramble when she's actually here :o)

I'm VERY proud of this little storage/shelving unit that I found....not only because I got a really good deal on it, but because I put it together all by myself! Yes, it's true, I am just THAT good j/k! I think it was a combination of being so utterly bored, and also not having the patience to wait for Clark to have the time to put it together-so, I went to work! I've been able to organize most of her things into the little baskets that pull out, and I also love how there's shelving space for other things.

We rescued this rocking chair from the dumpster outside at our condo. It used to be a dark blackish-brown but we spray painted it and then I made a cover/cushion for it with some material that I found...making it was another good way for me to bite the time and escape boredom!

Yay! Here's my masterpieces together looking all snazzy!


So, it's all pretty much come together. All we really need to get now is a changing table at some point and maybe a nice rug for the hard-wood floor!

BABY SHOWER

This past weekend my Mom and sister Natalie put on a baby shower for Baby Emma and I! It was a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed seeing and spending time with family and friends! We got SOOOO MUCH stuff for Emma....clothes, blankets, bibs, baby gear, ETC. It was like a huge Christmas with all the gifts!

My sisters and I


My Moma made lots of yummy food...the pink cupcakes were the best :o)


Measuring my belly with toilet paper


We received such cute girly clothes heehehe


My friend Trisha and I have been experiencing pregnancy at the same time


THANK YOU Nat and Moma for putting on the baby shower, and thanks again to everyone who came and also sent gifts! I can't wait for Emma to come so I can dress her up! :o)

FAT-NESS

Yes, I just keep getting bigger and bigger! The Doctor says that the weight I have gained is healthy, but still...I don't like getting fat!

I don't understand why anyone would want to be or let themselves get FAT on purpose!!! Being fat HURTS! No wonder so many large and incharge people are so lazy, sit around and do nothing, and ride around on their little jazzi-scooters! I feel for them right now! I personally mainly have the extra weight in my belly/around where the baby is, but still...with just that extra weight it's not easy doing things like walking around a grocery store, standing too long, or even trying to tie my shoes. I feel like the blueberry girl from Willy Wonka sometimes as I'm waddling around in all my fat glory!
I can't even imagine how people feel who have the weight spread all over their bodies...like have huge stomachs, legs, arms, etc! What are they thinking??? I mean, I understand that some people have medical conditions, but still...life could be so much better/happier if people were just healthier! I will tell you one thing for sure, I vow to never take for granted a good walk around the park or neighborhood again! I can't wait to get into shape after I have this baby...better shape than I was in before! I'm glad she's coming when there will be good weather and I can take her out for walks and just be active. I'm really excited that we have a gym and swimming pool here at our condo, too!
