Friday Night Leftovers

It's time again for Friday Night Leftovers! Want to play? Go see Danifried to see how.

1 - Well, let's just file this one under the "that's new" department. Today I sneezed, causing me to lose bladder control for a brief and not so glorious moment. Oh the joys and sexiness of pregnancy the 2nd time of around when the baby sits low on the bladder. It's not even like I had to pee bad when the sneeze occurred. This could get interesting.

2 - Still fighting insomnia here and there. Yep....it's 4:39 a.m. as I write this post. This has got to stop. So I guess this is more "Friday Wee Hours of the Morning Leftovers" than Friday night. Oh well. Still fun.

3 - Easter!!!! I LOVE easter. Today I will attend a Good Friday service, tomorrow we have an Easter Egg Hunt with Grayson and then on Sunday we will head to church for great services at www.LoudOnPurpose.com. If church isn't a normal part of your Easter routine, this year could always be the one to give it a try. Church doesn't have to be boring....mine sure isn't. Hope you can find one near you that fits your family.

4 - Speaking of Easter, last year I found it hard to find a basket for Grayson that wasn't all girly and what not. So I went to etsy.com and found this. I love it and highly recommend. A little late for ordering this year, but a good purchase for next. You can get yours here. She sells out some, but always restocks. And yes, Sawyer will be getting his special order soon.

5 - This week I had my 24 week appt. This one actually deserves it's very own post because we are now at viability stage people!! It's so comforting to know that if something were to happen that Sawyer has a fighting chance of making it outside my womb. And it only gets better from here!

6 - Grayson and I head down to Florida this week with my parents. We'll be visiting my grandma and some other family and just be chilaxin. Really looking forward to the downtime and the sun! While we're away, Sawyer's room will be painted and assembled. Really looking forward to coming home to see that and starting to get everything in order. Once it's done a video tour will follow.

7 - Tonight is date night!! Nothing spectacular planned, but excited about getting out with my husband as always. As an added perk, the weather is gorgeous here today, so I'm sure we'll head to an outdoor town center area for our dinner this evening. And of course there will be a movie....just not sure which one yet.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Friday Night Leftovers

It's time again for Friday Night Leftovers!

1 - Insomnia sucks. I remember having it intermittently with Grayson, but 2 nights this week I've been up from 2:30 to 5 a.m. Not fun! This has got to stop! Not sure if it's a hormonal thing, or a stress thing over getting everything ready for Sawyer. Whatever it is I hate it. (I'm actually writing this post at 4:45 a.m.....cause what else is there to do?!)

2 - Sawyer's furniture arrives this week! I'm so excited to be getting things done. This weekend the current furniture moves out and the room gets painted by the hubs. On Tuesday, furniture goes in and I plan on at least getting the bedding up and on the crib. I also can't wait for the dresser (which also arrives Tuesday) so that I can start organizing all of his little clothes. Yes, I still have 4 months to go and plenty of time, but I want to be done by 30 weeks or so. A/Just in case something happens and he comes super duper early (God forbid) and B/I already am exhausted doing little tasks around the house and know I need to get things done before that gets worse.

3 - Fat feet. Sigh. It's happening again. My feet are blowing up. I imagine within a month I will only fit in flip flops and crocs once again. Such a bummer. My feet grew a 1/2 size and went wider after Grayson. Really hoping that same pattern doesn't happen again so I can stay in most my shoes after baby.

4 - Letting go. In Sawyer room prep, I've been going through old stuff and either pitching it, relocating it or marking it for a garage sale. I did something hard today. I said farewell to all my really cute, really small bikinis. I've been holding on to them for years and haven't actually been IN them since 05 - prior to my 1st pregnancy and miscarriage. My body shape really changed after that first one, even though I only made it to 10 weeks. I think it's safe to say that I will never be that small again post babies. Sigh. And...if by some miracle, I am, it will just be more fun to buy new ones now won't it?

That's about all for now! I think....

Friday Night Leftovers

A place for the random thoughts swimming around your head, that don't quite constitute a blog entry.

1 - Yea! I finally remembered to do this on the right day! Been meaning to for weeks but keep forgetting.

2 - I reached the halfway point this week and hit the 20 week mark on Wednesday. It feels good to know that I'm over the hump, so to speak.

3 - On Sunday we head out of town for a few days and down to sunny Naples, Florida. Really looking forward to getting away and hanging out with my husband's parents and doing a lot of nothing. If you're in that area and see a beached whale hanging out on the sand, that will be me.

4 - Yea! The Oscars are this weekend! As you know, I LOVE movies. There was a time that I'd see every nominated movie prior to the academy awards. Yea...that doesn't happen these days. But, I have seen about 60% of the nominated films, so here are my not totally educated pics. Not necessarily who I want to win, but who I think will win in the top 3 categories:

Best Picture: Avatar
Best Actor: Colin Firth, A Single Man
Best Actress: Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side

5 - Lastly, had a bit of a scare this week on Thursday. I had some pretty bad pressure and cramping that didn't sit well with me, followed by the teeniest bit of spot. I went in to get checked and all is well with Sawyer. Cervix closed, placenta where it should be, plenty of fluid and all that good stuff. We even got another quick peek at him in an ultrasound. It was a freaky couple of hours, but the doc assured me all is well. She said the pressure was probably just growing pains, which get worse with each pregnancy. She suggested I get a maternity belt to help. Oh joy, I get to become even sexier than I am now.
