has anyone ordered from One King’s Lane before?
i placed an order about a month ago, it said it would be available Nov 1-11 (what kind of a time frame is that anyway?)
but does that mean it’ll Arrive by then? or it’ll be ready to Ship by then?
the wait is killing me and they don’t really give you much info to ease your no-patience-anxieties
anyone?

in the past week we have
had our Realtor come through our house to help us decide what to store and what to stage
had 2 different moving companies in to survey and give us an estimate for our 2 part move (part 1 - getting everything out so we can stage and not be cluttered, part 2 - moving all the stuff that was left to stage plus the stored stuff to the new house)
hired a handyman to complete...

“you can pick up a few more boxes of Count Chocula when you go back to Target to...”
– from my husband
because i may or may not have eaten half of the candy already. i can’t help it, Baby Likes Sweets!
ps. they’re all out of Count Chocula… baby is gonna be Pissed
live blogging Oprah
is anyone else disturbed by how much Freidrich (sp?) looks exactly the same and how Leisel (again sp?) looks older than Julie Andrews?

according to the man i married some local towns are doing Trick or Treating on Saturday
WTF?!
no. No! that’s NOT HALLOWEEN! i don’t care if it’s convenient. i’m not giving out a single piece of candy on Saturday. any kid who knocks on our door will get a “come back tomorrow!”
seriously, you can’t just celebrate holidays when you want to. Halloween is...

i love my dog
i love him more than most things
and i love that he likes to be sleeping at my feet all day every day
but with the gas problem he has it’s highly unfortunate that his butt lies directly below my face when i’m typing

i love our friends. i really do. our friends are our family. they’re everything to us.
but some of them need to learn to keep their mouths shut. because OUR news is not THEIR news and so WE should be the ones who get to tell the rest of our friends.
we didn’t get to tell everyone about the baby, the first friend in the group told others before we had the chance and it spread from...

week 15
- this week was much like the past couple of weeks: nauseaus and vomitting in the mornings, more often than not sadly. i really thought i was almost over this stage but oh well. someday *fingers crosed* - belly is there in the morning now not just at night even though it’s definitely still biggest just before bed - the above bullet makes pants harder to button at any time during the day but...

i’ll bet if i did one of those Tumblr Clouds now it would come up with a very large result for the word “vomit”
ah, pregnancy
doing dumb shit like eyeing the “Recipient” field AFTER i hit “SEND” is one of my fatal flaws

if you don’t get to experience it as much as i do take my word for it: vomitting before breakfast fucks up your entire day

de ja vu
this move is very reminiscent of what we did in 2009.
about 5 months before our wedding Mike accepted a new job in a city 2 hours away and sure enough we sold our house just before our rehearsal dinner and we had to be out when we returned from our honeymoon.
and here we are 5 months to baby and sure enough we’re putting our house up on the market and hoping for the best. i just hope it...

“another new address, huh? (laughing) i’m almost embarassed to tell anyone...”
– from my loving mom
it’s true, we’re moving again, for better or worse
good point indeed
dontcallmeval replied to your photo: i know most women look forward to the first time…
I think if you’re the crack smoking type you’re probably not going to care about waiting until after baby is born. :)

i swear my life has ADHD
it just can’t keep still
not for a minute.
i take that back, there were about 3 month earlier this year that were not riddled with changes and upheaval… of course 3 months out of almost 8 years doesn’t feel that constant.
don’t get me wrong, i love change, it’s exciting and our upcoming changes have me near ecstatic… but recently i was dreading trying to get...
help needed - esp. from Raleigh Tumblrs
our friends have a toddler who’s coming home from emergency surgery soon and we’re going to send them something but i can’t decide what.
here’s where ya’ll come in - what should we send? flowers are not appropriate given the circumstances so i was thinking edible arrangements with balloons (thinking fruit is always a good thing, right? and the balloons for the kid to...

vanity -vs- novelty
i’m torn
i’m unsure what way i’d like this to go - baby bump as big and and soon as possible OR small bump that always makes me look like i still have months to go.

“Thinking of commemorating your pregnancy by getting a tattoo?”
– the beginning text of one of the automated Pregnancy emails i get
umm, really? is this a thing? do lots of pregnant people do this? i won’t even make any crazy decisions about my hair while my hormones are raging more or less get a permanent for life tattoo

are you keeping the rest from me? or were you just mistaken?
on Anonymous comments
i received my my first Anon comment the other day and it has me conflicted - part of me feels bad, like i let people down and disappointed them and another part of me doesn’t give a damn because definitelyjennifer is not about anyone but me.
but still, i’ve never had a comment in all my years of blogging that’s bothered me. and my very first Anon fixed that. for some reason it...

it’s official NOBODY has my prenatals!
i found one bottle of 30 pills at a local pharmacy but other than that they’re nowhere to be found.
damnit. that means i’m switching to something new starting now… here’s to hoping these ones go over well with my body and the baby.
pregnant me gets overwhelmed very easily

week 14
- so far, meh. not great, not horrible. some days i feel awesome and i’m sure i’m over the hump of the morning sickness phase and other days i spontaneously vomit up my fruity pebbles (although part of me is convinced that’s because the baby has really taken to the count chocula and wants nothing else in the AM). - i weight 4lbs more every night than i do when i wake up in the...

this baby registry stuff is ridiculous
we walked into Target and then Babies R Us and walked out about 90 minutes later not having made a single decision and were just completely overwhelmed. and that’s with the last 6 months of research under my belt.
with wedding registering it’s all about what you want, might like to have but are not going to buy for yourself, or possibly some...
“poor little neighborhood kids”
– what my husband says each time i reach into the halloween candy bag for a treat.
i say screw that, those kids will get what i leave for them and then we’ll turn out the lights

Hmm, a compelling argument for pregnancy. I do love me some funnel cake.
oh absolutely!
“it’s not for me, it’s for the baby!” has been my go-to for just about every whim i’m acted on, and there have been many. Many.
although being a steak girl i do seriously miss wanting red...

this fetus HATES grilled chicken. it has for my entire pregnancy so far and i don’t see that ending any time soon. i can’t do the food in any capacity, even the sight of it used to set me into gags.
but damn does it love some SUGAR. seriously, this baby is gonna be way hyper active, all it wants is sweets sweets sweets!
it does give me the excuse of “but the baby wants...
