oh dearest weatherfella, please be wrong just this once

its been briskfully chilly here the past few days.  last night it got down into the 30's at our house and i can tell you, this pregnant momma has enjoyed every second of this chilliness. pulling out the leggings, scarves and little sweaters definitely put a smile on my face.   too bad, according to the weatherman, it won't be sticking around.  its supposed to reach back up into the 80's throughout the week.  i'm hoping this time, the weatherman will be wrong.



gah! i love me some ham & cheese hot pockets!

this past weekend, dear husband, my mom, my cousin, her mom, my aunt & i found our way to the just between friends consignment sale in weatherford.  luckily, we found this, because it was the last sale of the year until next spring.  all of us did a fantastic job of getting lots of things for even better prices.  can't beat gently used baby items on half price day..

we managed to find lots of onesies for benjamin & a couple of toys for him to tinker with when he gets here.  i must say ever 3 person in the place was a pregnant lady.  talk about estrogen pool.

afterwards, husband & i, figured it was as good a time as any to get registered at target and babys r us.  what a whipping! i'm so glad its done and hope to never have to register again for anything. some people enjoy registering. i personally hate it. and being pregnant and having to register is even worse.  but thank goodness its done & bring on the baby stuff!

we have another visit here in a couple of weeks & benjamin is growing bigger every day, so i cant wait to see his progress. i've been getting over a chest cold the last few days, so its been really hard the last couple of days, just trying to sleep & be a "happy" pregnant lady. i think husband is the one suffering most. :( thank you love for putting up with me and my horrible hacking cough.

other fun exciting baby news, i'm hoping to pull out my sewing machine in the next few weeks and start some projects for mister benjamin to enjoy or use.. now i just need the gift of motivation to get busy..

its a......

boy!!!!!

 

husband and i couldnt be more thrilled!!

bring on the dinosaurs, sports, skateboards and all things muddy....

 

tomorrow, husband and i are taking a little vacation with my brother, his wife & my parents to san antonio for a little fun, adventure and relaxation.

 

hope everyone is doing amazing and can't wait to talk more soon.

puppies have nothing on dinosaurs

i dont care whether my little babe is a boy or a girl, this has got to be in my babe's little wardrobe.

*swoon*

did i mention i love all thing dinosaurs for little boys??

i can smell the hay bales and apple cider already

i want to give a major shout out to mother nature for making this past weekend extremely amazing! not only was the temperature beyond perfect, but the skies were blue and clear, which allowed husband and i to get some outside yard projects completed.

and by projects, i had to get me some mums to lure in autumn & all the wonderful things that come with it.

at this point in september, i'm 19 weeks and growing. please excuse the lack of baby bump posts &/or pictures.  work is mad crazy & this pregnancy, pictures of my face are the last thing i want gracing the interwebs.. i feel like a pmsing teenager all over again, riddled with acne.

just in the last week have i been leaving the house with makeup on & my hair down and straightened.  scary i know, but i've just not been feeling like myself at all this whole time. and it happens to same mommies to be from time to time. 

hormones have finally gotten the best of me and i had my first severe pregnant woman crying fit, emotional breakdown yesterday. it was bad. i think even the baby cried it was so bad. silly things that we have plenty of time to worry about & figure out, just suddenly made me beyond mad woman crazy yesterday. it was so bad, i had a mental breakdown crying fit in my dreams as too. yikes! where's those pregnant lady safe margaritas when you need one?

also is it just me or when you're pregnant does everyone else come up pregnant too? or is the water just terribly stout these days?? i know seven (possibly 8) people who are pregnant or just had a baby, besides myself.  its like running rampant.  & the fact that i have our baby names chosen already & just not sharing until baby's gender is decided is making it that much more difficult as one name is much more common than we thought.  eeps. oh well.

we have our 20 week check up next week and hopefully, cross our fingers, baby decides to cooperate and let us get our first peek of its gender.  i think that will make being pregnant even more real than before. that and i'm just dying to buy something blue or pink, dinosaurs or tutus.

i've finally decided raw vegetables are an acceptable item in my diet again and boy have i missed them. salads are a regular staple with any meal and they taste more refreshing and delicious than before. but pairing it with pizza is beyond the best.

a few weeks ago, we bought the crib (pictured above), so we can say we actually purchased something for baby of real importance. we loved another one, but the fact that it wasn't in stock and was a little more feminine, directed us to this squared look, which can go for either a boy or girl.. plus it converts all the way to day bed, which is even better.


i hope everyone is doing fantastic!
