I'm outta here!

Well I figured I would do one last update before I leave tomorrow. I'm out of here until Weds for a work trip to Orlando. It should be a good time but of course I'm nervous about flying. And even more nervous about flying with a baby in my belly! But I will be ok and I just can't wait to get there. It will be good to see all of my field sellers from work for a few days and be out of the office.

On Thurs is my glucose test at the doctors. Hoping that everything goes ok with that! I think I should be ok but you just never know. So that will be a fun time sitting there for an hour until they do the blood draw. I hate needles though so this is not going to be fun!

In other news, I ordered and recieved our invites for the shower! I love them and they turned out really good. I designed them myself and it only cost me 50 cents to print them on vistaprint including shipping! So I'm very pleased and will probably use them again to do my birth announcements once the baby is born.

I also ordered our crib and changing table. It had been out at Babies R Us. I just by chance was looking at my registry yesterday and it was available so I ordered it before it wasn't anymore! I was supposed to get an email when it was back in stock but that never happened for some reason. Oh well! It has now shipped so we should get it by Thurs I think the tracking said. We won't be assembling it for probably another month or so but that's ok. As long as it's up before the shower so we can bring everything in I will be happy. And the changing table came from Amazon because it was cheaper by 30 bucks plus I saved some shipping too. So all in all i'm very happy that it's on it's way and no more waiting!

Well I think that's all for now. I will try to update between trips but not sure I will be able to!

Time is ticking away....

Time seems to be going slow but then I look back and it has gone so fast! I only have 15 weeks left which seems like forever and tomorrow at the same time. We just got the baby's room cleared out (Ben's mom was in there) and so we can just now start work on it. Just a few little things to do - we have to sand down the trim and repaint it, we had some patches on the walls and we need to sand them down some more because they were poorly done the first time around because we were in a hurry. Then we need to repaint that. And we need to replace the trim around the door. So not too much to do, if we had the time we could probably get it done in one weekend but I don't think our schedules will work like that. So hopefully in the next two weeks we can get that stuff done so I can start cleaning and decorating the room.

We did get our bedding set yesterday (see above) and it's absolutely adorable!! I love that it's not over the top pink, it has lots of brown, green, red, and other colors. I got a great deal on EBay for a 13 piece set and then we also bought the lampshade that matches. Just need to buy a lamp base for that and then a mobile and the crib will be all set! As for the crib and changing station - I think I am going to be ordering that in the next few days here because I think the crib is on clearance at Babies R Us. So it said something about saving 10% when you buy clearance plus it's free shipping. So I will probably order both pieces now and get it over with, which is why I would like to get the stuff done in the room. Hopefully we can get this stuff done within the next month or so before the shower so I can bring everything home from the shower and start putting it where it needs to go!

We did go and register at Babies R Us last weekend which was a fun experience! Ben still doesn't understand why we need to register at two stores (we are going to Target this weekend to finishregistering there) but he doesn't understand not everyone can get to a Babies R Us! Luckily the one in Chapel Hill will be done with their remodel soon and so people will be able to shop there. Although I was there last weekend and they had plenty of stuff so that was good. So people might not be able to find everything on registry if they go there but they should be able to find some stuff. I'm excited to finish up our Target registry this weekend. And I think I'm going to order our shower invites online in the next few days as well. I designed them myself so I just have to send them off to the printer to be printed. Everything is starting to come together!!

I am going to be travelling for work coming up next weekend and I will be gone off and on for the next few weeks. I'm gone April 24-28 in Orlando, May 2-5 in Nashville, and then back to Orlando May 13-16. So it will be a busy next few weeks and then before you know it, it will be time for our shower in June!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Since our anniversary is coming up we went out last night with my parents to celebrate. We went and had dinner at Hoggy's in Independence. It was really good. Everyone had been there before but me! It was a BBQ place and it was pretty darn good! We will be going back there. Then we went and saw Clash of the Titans in 3D. Not my pick but everyone else wanted to see it so I went for them. It was different because I don't think I've ever been to a 3D movie before. Again, not a movie that held my interest but that's ok.

I also want to say a big CONGRATS to our friends Melanie and Brian. Their son Mason William was born last night (Saturday, April 3) at 9:19 pm. She did end up having to have a c-section because after being induced Friday night at 7:30 she had made no progress at all. He was 9 lbs 12 oz and 21.5 in long. Because he was so big they don't think she would have been able to deliver him naturally anyways so it worked out for the best. He is currently in the special care unit though due to Mel being diabetic and the baby needing to get used to no insulin. He will be fine though but they have to watch him so they moved him down there. We did go up and visit this morning but we weren't able to hold him because he was in that unit. But we did get to visit with him and I will have to come back and post pictures. I am going over tomorrow as well so maybe he will be out of there if things go well tonight with regulating his sugar.

We did spend Easter at Ben's Grandpa's house. He made a huge feast as usual - ham, chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, peas/corn, buttered noodles, coleslaw and rolls. I'm still so stuffed I feel like I can't move!! It was Ben's grandpa, me, Ben, Ben's mom, her boyfriend, my mom and my stepdad. My parents didn't really have anywhere to go for Easter so they came to his house. It was good to see them :) And it was such a beautiful day out so it was nice to be able to relax outside. It was one of the first Easter's in a while that it hasn't snowed or rained around here.

Well this week I am supposed to be on jury duty so we will see how that goes. I know I don't have to report tomorrow but not sure if I will be called at all the rest of this week. Hopefully not seeing as I have plenty to do at work. But we will see!!

Have a great week everyone!
