you know that feeling when you’re walking up the stairs and you go to place your foot on the next step only to have it clunk down and realize that you’re already at the top, no more steps?
i just watched my dog do this on his full speed run up the steps and the look on his face while he tried to comprehend what just happened was PRICELESS.

week 37
for the past week there’s been a green/blue 1/2” radius around my belly button. i have no clue what that is, it’s not in the books, it’s nothing i’ve heard anyone talk about and now i have to wait until my next appt. to ask the Dr about it. i’m assuming it’s just because my belly has reached maximum density but it’s still a strange thing to surprise...

my boss still hasn’t assigned anyone to cover my accounts when i’m out on maternity leave

i’ve been reminding him of this timeline for over a month
have i mentioned how much i despise working for this man? can you see why?

promises
husband: we’ll do that one day this summer. i’ll make a huge batch of scungili and you can just sit back with a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine, and neglect your baby. me: our baby.

just ordered stamps for baby announcements*
we’re that done with the nursery. SO excited to fill it with my baby and his stinky diapers now!
seriously, the only things left on the To Do list are buy a hamper, eventually figure out what we want on the shelves besides what i just threw on them, choose a photo of us to put in a frame for him, and pick-up our (free!) ottoman once it arrives.
*we have yet to pick out the actual...

my weekend could not have been better
seriously, it went better than planned and that’s awesome considering the one “plan” we had we bailed on
started the morning heading out to buy the gliding ottoman that matches the chair for baby’s room, i was psyched to use the 20% off i finally had! got to the store only to find out that it’s on special - buy the chair get the ottoman free. ugh, what?! worked out a...
wtf BOA
so i just learned which account BOA sent me a new card for but only because i went to make a purchase and it was declined
i refrained from having a temper tantrum with them over the phone but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t what i wanted to do
seriously, you can’t just go around cancelling people’s credit cards without telling them! now i’m just hoping with my...

it’s everything i can do NOT to gain 15lbs this week
seriously, i eat out of boredom and when husband travels i am beyond bored
on top of that i’m ravenously hungry every single day (i guess being in labor on the daily will do that to you)
and i went to the grocery store earlier this week which means the house is full of yummy foods and snacks and all kinds of delicious treats....

nursery update
we’re so close yet we’re just so far away
it’s so frustrating!

nursery is painted and new carpet installed
paint spills on the new carpet have been removed (heads almost rolled for this, luckily husband took over so i didn’t hurt anyone)
new mini blinds mounted so...

week 36
i keep forgetting to mention this but it’s been uncomfortable to lean forward for about a month or so. the belly is just so big that if i’m sitting down and lean over it feels like something is digging into my chest… it’s just my uterus. i think that’s why nature has the belly make a perfect table, because it’s not fun to lean into the actual table in front of...

the difference between boys and girls
sure we all know the obvious differences but in the past few months through all the baby showers and friends having babies i’ve learned a very valuable difference in being pregnant with a boy vs a girl -
- if you’re pregnant with a girl you’ll get clothes. clothes clothes clothes. everyone will want to buy you baby clothes! it’s just so damn cute. the bows, the...

don't click on these new followers
they’re porn sites
hopefully some Tumblrs with higher readership will reblog and add any you know of to help your Tumblr pals avoid getting fired

apparently the porn followers are upping their “following” count quite drastically as everyone seems to be getting them these past few days
thanks to some Tumblrs i now know that you can block them (tumblr.com/block) but that doesn’t help me before i click on them to see who my new pal is.
can’t we start some sort of running list of “Don’t Click On These New...

skew your view
seriously, i don’t know why i’m allowed on here. i am always reading things and realizing i couldn’t possibly feel more opposite. beyond my not having seen or having any desire to see a single episode of Glee i’m just not really sure why i’m qualified to have Tumblr.
this is especially true when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth in general.
i have so many things...

husband is cramming 2 work trips into this week and next so that he can avoid them occuring in April
i have zero reason to believe i’ll go into labor within the next week but it doesn’t stop me from FREAKING OUT!
who do i call if i do go into labor? do i drive myself to the hospital? i can’t go through this alone, who would take photos??

week 35
boob update - i’ve been on the cusp of B/C for months now. pretty sure i can keep up the B game for the remainder of this baby cookin’. and thank goodness, i never thought i’d say this but i’m not really a big fan of them getting this large. they’re kind of floppy, not sure how people who are like this non-pregnant deal with it every day. don’t get me wrong, i...

i wish i’d taken a photo of the wholesale florist my house became last week
before having overnight guests i always like to freshen up the house with flowers and this time i bought 2x as many as usual given that we were going to have a house full of party guests in a few days. in early spring my go to pick is tulips and bear grass, it’s just so clean and beautiful! and the smell of...

i just in-store and internet shopped my ass off
i’m exhausted but at least our gift cards are mostly spent up and everything we need for baby (that we know of) is either sitting in a bag on the floor or on it’s way to our house
