Tummy Thursday......Week 39

Tummy Thursdays......Week 33

Yes that's a ghetto restroom mirror shot with my cell phone.  I'm a busy lady growing a baby and all so shush!

How Blessed and Thankful can one Mama be?

We had a baby shower back home this weekend, and boy oh boy, what a great time we had!

My awesome Daddy and loving sister made these adorable cupcakes for BabyMG (let's hope he has some hair though!)  This picture can not possibly display the adorable-ness of these cupcakes!

And a little different perspective:

At least I don't have to see my sausage toes now :-)

BabyMG Nursery Art

Ahhhhhh!!!! I told you it is adorable did I not?

The painting weekend

So remember the adorable curtains (thanks IKEA!) well my Daddy has been down this week and boy has he been busy!  We decided that we could make some awesome paintings to decorate BabyMG's nursery with to match the adorable curtains and bedding set.

Here's my Daddy paining what will soon become a charming lion.

And I'm painting the precious hippo!  Which is my favorite animal for BabyMG's room.  It may or may not have something to do with the way Anthony pronounces hippopotamus!

And what would a painting party be without a yummy snack??  Even grapes and cheese look delicious when my Dad puts them on a plate!

Stayed tuned for the finished product......they are going to be impressive I promise!

BabyMG Nursery Update...

We have curtains up!!!  My Dad came down for the week and we have been busy getting BabyMG's room squared away.  Tonight we also started the main art project for the room, let's just say it involves a long trip to Micheal's Craft Store and purchase of a WHOLE lotta little bottles of paint.

Here's a sneak peek of what's to come, there are still works in progress though:

Tummy Thursdays......week 25

I definitely noticed a growth spurt this week!

Nursery Update

So BabyMG's nursery is slowly coming together, here's a sneak peak:

This rocking chair is about 30 years old, give or take a few months.  You see the week that my Grandparents found out that my Mom was pregnant with me, my Da insisted that their first purchase be a suitable rocking chair.  They had to have a rocking chair to rock the first grandchild in, and every grandchild after that.  This rocking chair has been in my Ma's living room since my Da brought it home, and when Anthony and I got married my Ma shared the news with me that it was to be mine for our first child.  How excited I was driving home with this in my truck last weekend.

I knew when I was picking out our nursery furniture that I would be looking for something that specifically went with this rocker.  And I think we are doing good so far.  The pillow and rug are part of the collection that we will decorate BabyMG's nursery with, it all matches and is from IKEA, full of bright cheerful little animals.

So there's your sneak peak.  Only 109 days until we put up the crib :-)

ROAD TRIP!!!!!

A few things were needed to complete BabyMG's nursery, and it just so happened that those few things could only be purchased at IKEA.  So a road trip was in order.  My friend Sarah graciously volun-told her mom she was taking us, and I asked my Aunt Beth to join in on the road trip too! 

Here we were, two pregnant ladies accompanied by two Ikea-Virgins, trekking up to Ohio.  Sarah's dad fixed a delicious breakfast, I totally ate 'for two.'  After some of us took a required pregnant lady potty break, we were on the road.

IKEA is amazing, for those of you who have been there before, you know, it's an all day shopping trip.  And you have to have a list or you can quickly spend your rent money!  We toured the sales floor, and jotted down all kinds of weirdly spelled item names and where we could locate our goodies. 

We gathered up our goods and proceeded to pay.....I might have gone a bit over budget, but wait until you see BabyMG's nursery!  We couldn't have fit one more thing in the back of MariBeth's SUV, but that's what IKEA trips are all about right?

We stopped to fill our belly's at Big Boy, that was an awesome idea!!!  I'm so glad I got to go on this little road trip, it was exactly what I needed.

Tummy Thursdays.......Week 23

Had a Mid-Wife visit today and I'm totally in love with my midwife practice, I'm so glad we made the switch, even if it is late in the game!  I know that we are going to have the best most loving care ever when BabyMG comes into this world.

He measured a week ahead according to my uterus, like I wasn't expecting that :-)

Pregnancy Mush Brain aka PMB

This is what happened this morning. Ahhhhh I thought my butt had doubled in size overnight because I had trouble getting into my britches.

Sory for the crappy photo quality, iPhone is only good for certain photos apparently, and this isn't one of those things!

Ghetto Grilled Cheese

Lately for dinner in the evening, I have been wanting chili with PB & Honey (ala Elementary School) or a bowl of some other soup with a grilled cheese.

This is what happens when you don't want to go to the grocery store but the baby and you both want a grilled cheese with the alphabet vegetable soup!

 Hahaha!  Yes, I know that's ghetto, but it was actually very tasty.
