"Gives You Wings"

Well, I am 21 weeks pregnant today and behind on blog posts! I can already tell that I am not going to be good at this... But, as most of you mommies out there know different websites send you updates on your "status" of being pregnant and compare the size of your baby to everyday items or foods. My reminder this morning told me that Suzy was approximately the size of a can of Red Bull. It is hard to imagine that this growing belly is only containing a baby the size of an energy drink can!!

A quick reminder of how a can of Red Bull looks :)

This week I have been trying to order the baby bed that I have picked out from Babies R Us. It has been quite the nightmare to say the least.... I have been looking online daily to see if it has become available (because it has been sold out since our first shopping excursion a couple weeks ago) and low and behold Friday afternoon it was available!!! Exciting, right? Not so much.... It is available online and "ship to home" only. This means that in order to buy the baby bed you must pay shipping instead of having it shipped to the store and recieve free shipping. Well, I added it to my cart just to see how much it would be. If it were just like 20 or 30 bucks I was game for paying the shipping fees. Well, brace yourselves..... to ship this baby bed it would cost $180.00!!! Yeah, I know... I felt the same way!! I was floored. I picked up the phone and called the 1-800 number to the main warehouse. I talked to a guy there that informed me they had a shipping special going on right now. I added the coupon code to my order and it took off a whopping 20 bucks. Geeeee thanks. So, now instead of $180 bucks it is $160 bucks. I think not. So, back to the drawing board... I will be checking the net daily now to see when it becomes available to "ship to store".
But, on a brighter note... Suzy's room will be painted this week. I hope Frankie will be here Tuesday to start on it. I went with a baby blue/robin's egg color. I also went to my aunt's house Thursday night to get a "Game Plan" for Suzy's room! I am so excited to say that I have ordered the fabrics for the bedding and it is going to be adorable! I cannot wait for y'all to see it all put together!

Paint Chips and the 2 main fabrics that will be used for the bedding.



 A few things that have happened this week-

1. I began using a pregnancy pillow (thanks to Ali G)! She brought the pillow by the house while I wasn't there so I didn't have anyone to tell me how to use it! I was so blown away by this contraption that I had to google images of it to figure out how to sleep with it!
2. Suzy is a very hyper baby girl. Saturday night Scott and I went to El Charro to have dinner. Apparently baby girl loves enchiladas!!! While trying to fall asleep I felt the craziest, coolest thing... She started moving around and kept moving around on and off all night long. I got a total of maybe 3 good hours of sleep. I woke up at one point in the night and Scott was on the couch- I guess that I kept him up all night long too!
3. Bathroom breaks are coming way too frequently way too quick!! I thought that the bathroom issues didn't start until later in pregnancy?? I am an exception to the rule if this myth is true... I am up constantly with the urge and I am told that it only gets worse! JOY!! :)
4. Everything gives me heartburn.... EVERYTHING! From pop-tarts to mexican food.
5. School Day Pictures are for the BIRDS! I had a nice pitty party for myself Wednesday night. And, when I say pitty party.... I mean "let me sit in my closet floor and cry because I have NOTHING to wear" pitty party!! It took me exactly 1 hour to find something that was only decent to wear for school day pictures. I have gone from big to bigger! I hate to see the day that I have to dress my body at 9 months pregnant. I sent a text to several girlfriends venting about the situation...Of course they all tried to make me feel better about it, but it was hard to convince me that the world wasn't ending b/c of my lack of clothing that fits.

This has been quite a busy week.. I will leave you with a nice comparison of how my body has changed in only 4 weeks!!
