The Nifty Fifty and Bibs

I can't even believe it!
I have 55 days left.
Well, no more than 55 days.
This little angel will be here on June 22nd,
At the LATEST!
I can't believe it!

It has been so fun this last week or so with her getting bigger.
(yes, I might take back that statement in a month,
but for now I am saying it.)
It just makes it all the more real
To feel her push her rump or head or body
(something big and round)
into my side or up to my ribs.
It is so fascinating,
To know that she is growing and growing
And will be here before we know it!
It is fun to watch my belly move in waves
or get REALLY lopsided as she huddles in a corner.
She is so fun already!
This has been one amazing and fun experience.
I love her.
We love her.
Nik is always trying to touch my belly and annoy her
By pushing hard while wiggling his fingers
So he can get her to kick back.
Typical.
haha.
It is fun!
And she usually does kick back,
Now that she is running out of room 
And her dad is crowding her space.
haha...All I can do is laugh.
I love them both!
Soooo so much!

But as I write about her...
AGAIN...
I need to share a conversation I had with my friend,
Melissa,
On Facebook.

I posted a link to ANOTHER blog post on my page and this was our conversation.
Melissa: crankin' out the blog posts lately.
Me: yep! just to make up for when I don't blog enough in the future. =]
Melissa: oh you'll blog....you better!!....show off your baby
Me: I feel like that is all I talk about right now...pregnancy. but i guess...it is a big part of my boring life.  

Well then...it brings me to what Nik and I found
While registering at Target.
We both got a pretty good laugh out of this one!
Well, Melissa, looks like she already IS the star of my blog
And I guess I better keep it that way!!!
=]
You'll see plenty of posts when she is here.

3rd Trimester...Ready or Not, Here We Come!

Wow.
Is this really happening?!
I cannot believe it.
I remember being in my 1st Tri begging for it to be over
and that 13 weeks took FOREVER!
Now I only have 12 left?!
agh!

I say I have 11 weeks and 6 days left
because it would be awesome for our Baby Girl to arrive on June 22nd.
If she comes early, fine by me, but here is my silly reason for the 22nd.

I was born September 22nd.
My next sister, Carrot (Caren), was born December 22nd.
Then Bagel (Baylee), the next sister, was born November 22nd.
And then the failure begins...
...ok, it was because of the doctor,
And it would have worked but things were overlooked at the time
So, Boog (Hannah), my last sister, was born July 26th...
...although the doctor admitted she could have arrive on the 22nd because she WAS full grown.
WTHeck!?!?!
Wanna know how we know...
...July 26th she arrived at 9lbs 11oz.
HUGE!

Well it just so happened that my "official due date" is June 24th
But I told the doctor,
Because he is the same one that delivered me and all my sisters
and knows the "tradition"
I told him if she is still not here by June 22nd, I want her then.
He smiled and nodded, saying he can make that happen!
=]
Silly??
I don't think so.
Just so happened that way!

People do fun things with names...
like get this...
I just so happened to be born on the 22nd
and then Caren just so happened on the 22nd as well.
According to my mom, that just worked out that way.
So when she was having the next one, she tried to have Baylee on the 22nd as well...
...walking around the mall the night before and such.
So our names went D - C - B - and then that was it because we couldn't agree on an A name.
So Hannah is as close as we will get to an A name.

Anywho...people do fun things with names, and if it so happens I can have our children on the 22nd
of any given month....you better believe I will do that.
Silly? Yes.
Fun? You bet!

Anywho....enough with that sillyness.
This has been one fun ride.
How I only have 83ish days left, I have no idea!
Our Little Jewel has been getting stronger and stronger.
It has been fun and uncomfortable all at the same time.
But I am so happy to be here experiencing this.

Last night I was on the phone with Nik as he was driving home from work
And She had the hiccups.
It was so cute!
You could see a steady beat right on my belly.
It lasted just over 3 minutes.
It was so cute.
I interrupted Nik real quick to tell him and he just laughed and smiled.
He is so in love with her already!

Oh, and not sure if you remember me mentioning my lower back and hips always hurting...
...well Nik and I bought a mattress topper and it has made a HUGE difference.
I no longer wake up in pain.
It is wonderful!
Wish we would have gotten on sooner
But we didn't. Oh well.
I'm happy now!
And Nik says his back hasn't hurt as badly either.
YAY!

But now I have a question...
...and if you are still reading this, yay!
Does gravity effect the baby while in the womb?
Honestly.
Lately I have felt her feet on my right side
and when I lay on my right side (just for a little bit)
she gets her tap moves on like crazy...
...or so it feels like.
And it REALLY hurts!
Such a weird feeling.
So I will then roll over to my left and I stay that way 95% of the time.
Well, is she landing on her head with a headstand or what?
Might be a silly question,
But I really wanna know.
So...let me know what you think or if you really know the answer.

I guess that is all.
Thanks for your attention.
So excited to meet this little girl....but right now I gotta go feed her.
Yay for breakfast!

*And sorry I don't go through and proof read it before submitting it
So hopefully it makes sense.
Just what is happening in this Pregnant Brain of mine.

Loves!

Date Nights

I feel the need to document this wonderful date that we had last Saturday...because....I just LOVED it. Reminded me of our dating years.
I kept the mushy parts out, just.for.you, don't worry.

We started the night early so we could get cheaper tickets at the theater to see Tangled.
It was super cute!
Nik even laughed during the movie and teared up in the daddy/daughter moments.
(gosh, I love him! he is going to be a great father!)

Then we went to Costa Vida!
AMAZING!
We both love their salads
....I guess it is the Sweet Pork that does it!
We just sat outside and talked and talked and talked...about nothing and yet it was everything.
After dinner we went to Cold Stone.
We love that place!
Brought the ice cream back home and watched Money Pit on Netflix.
Pretty funny movie.
And guess what...I stayed awake for BOTH movies of the night!
THAT, my friends, is RARE!

But you know what I loved MOST about this night...other than the funny movie, awesome food, and amazing dessert...
...the undivided time Nik and I had together.
We didn't discuss work or family or money...
we just enjoyed each others company and talked about random fun stuff...
like back in our dating lives.
It was so fun! I went to sleep that night with a big smile on my face...
because he is the man that gets my whole heart for my whole life...
and then some.

(oh and get this....
all this was for $21 out of pocket.
we both love discounts, gift cards, and coupons!
SCORE!)

Did You Ever Imagine...

So the other night when we were announcing our exciting news with my in-laws, I asked my mother-in-law a question...

Did you ever imagine this day? When you were pregnant with your first child, or any of your children, did you ever picture this day? The day that all your babies are growing up and some are having babies of their own to give you grandchildren?

She just laughed and said she never had. It all happened too fast.

Now for me to imagine those days are not that far ahead of me either. I have a little baby girl growing inside and then one day she will be here in my arms and she will grow up and live her life. Kinda sad to think about but also very cool.

I don't know....guess I'm just rambling on.
Life is a beautiful thing to be lived.

Not-So-Normal Grapes

So...remember my post just earlier today...(see below)...well that purchase at Safeway included some grapes.
These are magical grapes.
Have you ever had grapes from Chile?
Have you ever had grapes infused with nectarine juices?
I HAVE!
Let me just tell you....the most delicious grapes I've ever had.
I'm gonna go get some more!
Just sayin.
Well...this was a ridiculous post but I had to share it.
Thanks for readin!
