Getting excited!

So this weekend I went up to my moms house to hang out and do some shopping and basically try to get last minute things done before this baby girl arrives. And as we were doing this I realized how excited and anxious I am for her arrival, I really have begun nesting, at least with the part of getting every little detail ready for her, I swear I have folded and refolded her clothes, organized all her blankets, burp cloths and just about everything else into categories, and there is a place for everything, and I check, and double check it throughout the day. I have lists all over the house of what needs to be done, and things I still need to get done, and things I want done before she comes, and things that will need to be done after she comes. So needless to say, I'm getting excited, and your probably wondering whats up with these pictures, well....these are some of my recent purchases and gifts that I have gotten and am so excited to use(especially my new sling and nursing cover!)!But really Girls are so much fun to buy for! Its has gotten quite dangerous lately, but I still have some self control(not much, but I still have some). Plus we finally decided on a name! Yeah!!! I don't want to spoil it and just in case I see her and it doesn't fit, we're keeping it a secret, so you'll just have to wait and find out. But things are becoming more real, and the reality of having another baby has finally began to sink in, but I'm so ready for this next step, I know its not going to be easy, but I know its going to be worth it!

clearing things up

so I just realized my post on "i'm so ready to be done with this" came across negative and maybe even I was talking about being so done with this pregnancy, when actually I was just talking about the Gestational Diabetes part, I have actually enjoyed this pregnancy, I have had a little more discomforts this time, but it really has been fun and for the most part enjoyable. Really the only thing I probably complain about and just tired of dealing with is this Diabetes thing, but I know the sacrifices I make and by following dr's orders I'm doing what is best for our baby, plus when I look at the bigger picture, its not forever, it amazing how the minute you deliver its gone! So.....it may not be fun, but I'm dealing with it and I can see the end now, and that is what keeps me motivated and on track.

Digital Scrapbooking

So I know I have already posted this picture, but Jason just got me photoshop and well....lets say i'm quite the beginner, and I don't understand it all quite yet, but I'm trying to figure out this whole digital scrapbooking thing, and this was my first page I did, and i'm still not quite sure I know what I'm doing, so if any of you know any tips and know any good websites for me, please let me know....i'm having a lot of fun with it, but I'm still a little confused, and still not sure how everything works, and how to do all the cool stuff I see on so many of your websites. This page isn't anything special, but I was proud I figured this much out on my own.

I'm so ready to be done with this!I think what I'm looking forward to the most is......not having to prick my finger 6 times a day! Lately I have been very frustrated with this whole Gestational Diabetes thing, and frankly I'm ready to be done with it. It seems no matter what I do I can never get it right, I eat what they tell me to, and my numbers are high, and then I have those days where I say forget this, and eat what I want, and my numbers are low, I just don't get it. On a better note, I had my dr. appointment this week and things are right on schedule, we are set for July 15th at 9:30 a.m.! Crazy to think in just 2 1/2 weeks we'll have another baby, but I definitely can tell the time is coming close, as the nesting instinct has definitely kicked in! So only 18 days to go!

My Baby Shower

Last night my friend Rosie threw me a baby shower! It was so much fun, a nice way to get out and spend some time with girlfriends! Those are precious moments for me! Thanks Rose for a fun night and putting it all together! And thank you to everyone who came and for the wonderful gifts! I can't wait to use them with our little girl!

Happy Father's Day!

He just can't get enough of riding on daddy's shoulders, it seems he is up there a lot these days.
After trying a million times to get Daniel to look at the camera....I gave up.
I just wanted to give a shout out to Jason, my dad and Jason's dad! Happy Father's Day! I feel so lucky to have you men in my life, and you are all such great examples to me and Daniel. To my dad....thank you for all your hard work, and being such a great example to me growing up, I love the way you are with Daniel and I know he just adores you! I feel so blessed to have you as my dad! To Rick...thank you for raising such an amazing son, I know he gets many of his great qualities from you, and its because of you, he is able to be such a great husband and father. I love being a part of your family! And to my wonderful husband, I don't think words can even express how lucky I feel to have you in my life, you are an amazing father and husband! Thank you for all the sacrifices you make for our family, I know its not easy to go to school full time and work full time, but I really appreciate everything you do for our family. I hope you know how much I love you!

The date is set!

So i had my 34 week check up today, and things are still looking as good as can be, and we set the date for my c-section, our little girl will be joining us July 15! Crazy to think, that in 4 weeks 5 days will be having our little girl! But the countdown is on, and its time to get busy, I really need to finish getting things ready for this little ones arrival. Also, Jason and I are still having a tough time with names, so if you have any suggestions, please send them our way. (also i posted more about my appointment on my prego blog if your interested).

Rihanna & Kanye West

As a birthday present from Rosie, she got us tickets to go see Rihanna and Kanye West, a much needed girls night out! (Thanks Rose for such a great night!)
Rosie and her two prego friends! I think people thought I was crazy for being there, but hey even pregnant woman need to have some fun.
Rosie got us passes to meet Rihanna, they were pretty strict, no camera's no autographs, only they could take the pictures, but we were so sad....it was the only blurry one out of the group of pic's they took. But hey we got to meet her, and that was just cool in itself. Plus I got my belly rubbed by Rihanna, as I was walking up she looked at me and was like "oh how cute are you", and then preceded to rub my belly, I think this was the one time I was okay with a stranger touching my belly without my permission. But she was so nice and just completely gorgeous!
she was just gorgeous! so skinny and tall, i'm jealous!
Hanging out before the concert
