Cribs, $50, my Aunt Judy, and week 25!

Aaron and I went looking at cribs this past week.  Most of the cribs we looked at were way over priced and very flimsy, wobbly, and just cheaply made.  Babiesrus is WAY over-priced!  I don’t recommend shopping there.  We looked at Buy Buy Baby, Walmart, Kmart, and finally Target.   We finally found a good sturdy crib for an ok price at Target.

Before we went crib shopping, we stopped at a gas station to get a snack.  Aaron found a $50 bill on the floor!  I used it to buy a new pair of maternity pants :)

I think the baby had a growth spurt.  I’ve recently been feeling more round ligament pain.  My feet and ankles are starting to swell.  Actually everything under my knees looks swollen.  I need to buy some compression socks.  I can’t seem to catch my breath very easily, either.  It sort of feels like when I was in Colorado on our Honeymoon at Loveland Pass, 12,000 feet up!

My Aunt Judy sent me a surprise package in the mail.  Look! Look! …

I love them!  They’re so cute!  She’s the best! ♥

Paint and Shoes and Week 24!

Picture

Aaron is hard at work…

I can’t believe I’m actually painting again.  When I first bought my house, I painted every room, and got sick from paint fumes.

Figures I get messy after only 5 minutes of painting….

Peeling paint off of my fingers…  Look at my belly :)  These painting clothes don’t fit like they use to.  I cant even zip my pants.
Picture

This is what I use to look like in my painting clothes… Tanned and thin … and vowed never to paint again!

This is a tell-tale sign of pregnancy …
Picture

Notice the laces tide towards the sides because I can’t properly pull my knees up directly towards my chest to tie my shoes correctly.   I have to sit Indian style to have any hopes of tying them at all!

It’s time for slip-ons.  I want these :)  I use to have a pair.  They are my all-time FAVORITES.

We bought Rocky a brand new ball.  This is what happened after 5 minutes of playing with it…

This is an excerpt from some text messages between me and Aaron the other day while we were both at work …

Me, “Almost lunch!”
Aaron, “Did you bring grapes?”
Me, “No. I ate a handful on my way out the door though.”
Aaron, “Why didn’t you take more?”
Me, “I was lazy.  Didn’t want to pluck them off the vine and put them in a container.  Just straight into my mouth.”
Aaron, “Put the vine in a container.”
Me, “Ya I thought about that but I’d have to dig out a large container and find the matching lid.”
Aaron, “Sheesh.  I’m going to stop and get you a nice little lunch cooler.  One of those nylon zip up ones.”

The next day, look what I found in the fridge …

Aww!  I love him so much!!!  It had grapes, and broccoli, and ranch dip.  So sweet ♥

Here is a 6 month pregnant pic.  Too bad it turned out blurry.  I can’t wait to get a new camera.
