Random preggo thoughts and happenings

I know that I am getting closer to being a mommy based on the silly things I find myself doing here lately. Tonite the hubs and I hooked up the baby monitor and took turns crying into it to see how well it works. LOL. I felt silly but at least I knew it worked. I am also putting together all sorts of baby gear: playpen, stroller, you name it. I put the newborn sling on the bathtub and imagined him lying in it while I bathe him. All the NB and 0-3 clothes are washed and a good amount of them are at grandmas house for the first 1-2 weeks that we will be there recovering. Diapers of assorted sizes sit stacked in his room and his book shelf has a few great selections already. I plan to breastfeed but I have months worth of free formula in the pantry just in case. The hospital bag is packed and so is the diaper bag. We are taking an online course about childbirth and have already taken a newborn care and safety class as well as infant CPR and the L&D tour. I feel like time has flown. Only 43 days to go. Yikes!

If you hire a coordinator, pick someone who respects your budget no matter what it is. 2. Be really detailed with what your vision is for each element of your wedding. Make sure that the person who is in charge of the day has a thorough understanding of that vision. 3. Things will go wrong. Don't sweat it. The morning of the wedding I woke up to a text from my hair and makeup person saying instead of her arriving at 8:00 she would be there at 12:00. I didn...

Where does the time go?

16 days until I make the change from Ms. to Mrs. I feel like I am not yet getting the chance to soak it in. I am still trying to adjust to the new job and keep up with my normal household tasks. I guess I will fully realize it when I put on the dress.

Cookie monster

That is what I feel like right now. The one thing I have no business eating right now is calling my name as I sit in Panera. I just finished my chicken noodle soup and salad and I want a big ole chocolate chip cookie! But if I were to eat one it would mean no more food for the rest of the day due to using up all of my points. Must.....resist.....temptation........
