29 weeks

Today I am 29 weeks pregnant, Owen and I are celebrating this by watching American Idol. I am explaining to Owen what is happening, so far he knows that I feel extremely embarrassed for most of these people on this show. I feel like if I were them and I had to do that opening song and dance number I may have just quit on the spot, he also knows that boys should not sing Mariah Carey, especially Hero and that if I werent pregnant I would be going out to find an outfit like Casey, except that I would wear my grey boots, definitely not brown with that outfit.

Ooh la la


I could live in TJ Maxx... I haven't been there in years, but when Ilene called to inform me that they were now the "baby superstore" and carried Petunia Pickle Bottom I got there as fast as I could, in fact Adam says he has never seen me get ready so fast. If you know anything about Petunia Pickle Bottom, you know that a diaper bag costs between $150-$200, on Ebay the average payout for them is about $90-$100. So upon hearing that I could get one for $50.00 I was in the car and had one in my cart within a matter of 15 minutes. Isn't she a beauty! As I walked around TJ Maxx, aka my new Heaven on earth, I found a Petunia Pickle Bottom sling for $30!!!!!! These retail for $60 and in some cases $90, depending on which website you go to, to add to it, they had my size and I couldn't resist! Ilene and I spent another hour and a half getting baby clothes, picturing what our dream rooms would look like (Im telling you they have the cutest things there now) I could have spent at least 3 more hours there, and if I wanted to spend every last dime in my checking on Sweet Owen, I could have. I am so excited! it has a fold out changing pad, which is so soft and detachable, a black, cute wipe holder, 4 slots for bottles, a clip for my keys, and a removable pouch for pacis, money, anything really. 

I also went to update my registry since the high chair I had chosen was too girly and discovered that my dwellstudio glider had been purchased for me!!! Whoever this sweet, wonderful soul is is going to be at the top of my favorite list for years to come! Baby Owen's room is going to be brown and white with touches of either lime green or light blue, depending on which sheet I decide to put on. Next weekend Ilene is coming over so we can clean out his room and start getting things organized so that when my aunt arrives with his crib and changing table next month, things will be ready!!!! 

In other Owen related news, I can feel him rolling and moving all over the place. I have been waking up with a sore pain in my ribs for the past week, while I was sitting on my couch watching him roll around, I saw a kick up by my ribs, now I know who the culprit of this pain is. I have 11 weeks to go till he is here and I can't wait! I have really dreamed about this since I was little, (ask anyone who has known me since the age of 7) I can't wait to see what he is like, I have a feeling he is going to be sweet, but very stubborn. I feel like he will look like Adam and have dark brown hair like I did when I was a baby, if what they say about a lot of hair and heartburn is true, then he will have a ton. He will be very, very loved, I know that once he is here I won't want to put him down, I know there will be loooooots of sleep loss, and there will be days when he will cry and cry, and cry, but I am ready for it.

breakfast

I am about to eat strawberry frosted pop tarts and chocolate covered  donuts for breakfast. Perhaps this is why I feel like shamu lately?
