A Little Randomness

Just a few random thoughts I've been having over here:
  • I've got 10 weeks left in this pregnancy. Where did the time go?!  When we first found out, it felt like time was dragging, but now...10 WEEKS.  And I feel like I have sooo much to do (getting the nursery ready, putting away clothes, buying all the things that we still need but don't yet have).  But I have zero motivation.  I'm tired.  I'm sore.  Little G is kicking the crap out of me and making it hard to sleep or rest.  Eh...it'll all get done, eventually.  I used to joke when I was pregnant with Bailey that we waited so long to get her room together that she'd end up sleeping in a drawer in our bedroom.  That never happened...but it just might this time around.:-)
  • We had a 3D ultrasound over the weekend, and got to see the baby.  It was amazing, and we got a ton of pictures and video.  Scott and I still keep talking about how  "we saw him yawn!".  I've never seen a baby do that on an ultrasound and it was freaking adorable.  Here's our little guy.  Cute, right?
  •  Now that it's finally cool enough to consider it the fall season, Scott and I decided to take Bailey to one of our favorite "Fall places"  -  Linvilla Orchards.  We took her on a Saturday after dance class (big mistake...it was ridiculously crowded), and the whole ride over I had these visions in my head of the three of us enjoying a hayride together, sipping some hot apple cider, buying a few fall decorations and just generally enjoying the day.  None of those things happened.  They only had cold cider, Bailey was antsy and we couldn't look at the decorations properly, it was too damn crowded to really enjoy much of anything, and Bailey (for whatever reason) was too afraid to go on a hayride.  But we did have a good time in the end.  Bailey got her face painted...for $8.

 And she went through a little maze with Scott on the Orchard's big playground.

We spent a good couple hours there.  For all the crowded craziness, it was fun.

  • We have a bunch of garden gnomes that we used decoratively around the side of the house.  Bailey discovered them a few months ago and now she ONLY wants to play with them when we go outside.  She'll spend, literally, HOURS out front just moving the gnomes from one area to another.  She lays them down for naps, has conversations with them, and carried them around with her out there.  She calls them "my mens" and has been known to run through the house yelling, "Mommy!  I wanna go outside and play with my mens!"  I feel like I have to explain to people who hear her yelling that they're garden gnomes.  We're not sending her out to play with a bunch of pedophiles or anything.
Bailey and some of her "mens".

  • She's practicing to become a musician.  Beethoven who?




  • And lately I'm finding Bailey in the strangest places.

    I'm sure I'll have tons more to say later.  But for now, in the words of Porky Pig, that's all folks!



    Just kidding. I do have one more thing to show you.  I found this online yesterday and thought it was too hilarious not to share.


    Tell me that's not me to a T.  :-)

Progression

Just a quick post today.

 I've been taking belly photos every few weeks sine the beginning of this pregnancy. With Bailey, I spent the entire 9 months in a state of shock that I was actually pregnant, and never really made a point to take any pictures...something that I really regret.  The one picture I do have of myself, I'm about 3 weeks from delivery and looking like a beached whale.  NOT the cute belly shot I'd been hoping for!  So this time around, I decided to take a picture every few weeks.  Now that I'm at 28 weeks, I've got enough photos to be able to really see the progression, and thought I'd share them on here.

For those of you who are (un)fortunate enough to be my Facebook friends, you've already seen these photos a million and one times.  I apologize...but I'm still gonna post them.  ;-)
