I might be a little cheap, lol

Ok, so I'm probaby a little cheap.  I totally love this little dress at Old Navy (below), but I don't want to pay $16.50 for it, especially since she may not wear it long.  I'll be watching the dress to see if it goes down.  I do love it a lot, and if it doesn't do down before the sizes start disappearing I might have to make this my little splurge on her.  It's just so cute!!

100 days!!!!

OMG, I was posting on thebump & realized I only have 100 days left!!!!  This is so crazy!  Tomorrow will be 99 days left until this beautiful little angel makes her appearance!  I really can't believe more time is behind me than ahead.  I think I might be nervous now, lol.  Everything is becoming more real by the day.  I can't stop saying "OMG", LOL.  I am so excited.  I kind of want the time to slow down a little bit, bc I feel unprepared, but at the same time, I want to push the fast fwd button bc I want to see her little face!!!  Cheers to 100 days & counting down!  Next big event is my baby shower next month!

KICK to the ribs!!!!

So here I am thinking I have a dainty little lady in my belly, lol.  Yeah right.  I'm sitting on the couch talking to my brother & BAM...she kicks me right in the ribs, lol.  I can't say that it hurt, but it definitely tickled.  It's only happened once, so I'm assuming that I said something she wasn't happy about, lol.  Wish I knew what that was.  She's become so busy, I love it.  She's not a big kicker, but she wiggles & moves a lot.  It's the most amazing thing.  I can not even describe the feeling, but it feels great.  I love knowing that she's moving around/comfy in there.  Every now & then I will get to feel kick from the outside, but it's rare.  I love it!!!  Although I'm sure as she gets bigger her kicks will be stronger & I may not be so excited then, lol. 

1st baby purchase

OK, so my family is very super stitious (sp?).  They do not believe the mother should be making purchases while she is pregnant.  I don't believe in it, but I'm trying to go along w/this.  Its very hard and today I caved.  Probably the one of the only purchases I'll make bc my family will have a fit, lol.  The other thing I'll get is her outfit for her newborn pics.  Anywho, my first little purchase is babylegs!!!  I'm so excited.  I know it's not much but I'm excited to be able to get her something.  I've already started recieving gifts so it's making her arrival super real, but it felt great to be able to get something for her myself.  I've always wanted the babylegs, but I didn't want to pay $12 a pair.  Thanks to a poster on thebump.com I found out about the big sale, soooo I got her a few pairs.  Hopefully some other colors will go on sale soon.  But until then, these are the ones I got for her.  Also 4 cute pairs of socks.  I so love all these cute girly things!!!

I do not want to complain but...

The back pain I am experiencing today is too much.  1st Monday it seemed that I was getting a cold, but I'm guessing I was just feeling crappy for a day.  Then yesterday afternoon my back started to hurt.  It continued through the night & by the time I woke up this morning, it had decided it is in charge today.  Sitting at my desk is becoming unbearable.  I'm hurting & I don't want to take any pain medication (I'm afraid of the effects on Suri, even though I was told I could take a tylenol).  I'm trying to make sure my posture is good & I have a pillow in my desk chair behind my back, but it's so not working.  I just want to go lay down & sleep.  Or at least attempt, bc I just toss/turn all night.  UGH....if I'm feeling like this at 21wks, what will I feel like at 30wks?  OMG, I shouldn't think about things like that.  Hoping this pain goes away.

On a happy note, I am 21wks today!!! YAY!!!  It does feel good to be farther along than the number of weeks I have left.  Only 19wks to go if Suri decides to show on time.  But from my experience, she is as stubborn as her parents, so this will definitely be interesting.....

Suri's gifts

I might have a few posts today it seems, lol.  Anywho, Suri recieved her 1st two gifts.  My wonderful niece Courtney bought her the cutest little onsie & socks.  I'm so in love w/it.  I can't wait for her to wear the onesie w/the rainbow socks.  It's just too cute.  And she also recieved a baby book from my co-worker Nicola.  It's the cutest thing.  I can record all her firsts in the book.  I'm guessing from here on out, all the gifts will be for her, lol.  Even this Christmas (although she won't be here yet) & my birthday.  My baby shower is actually a few days after my birthday & one of my girlfriends made it clear that my birthday gift will be something for Suri, lol.  It's so not about me anymore.

she kicked!!!

I am several days behind with this information, but it's still breaking news for me!!!  My little angel pie started being really active on Thanksgiving.  I had a lot of strong flutters, but that was about it.  Some time Friday afternoon she decided to really make her presence known.  I was laying on the couch watching tv & my right hand was resting on my belly.  Then I felt it.  She kicked me!!  I was thinking, did she kick me?  No, just my imagination.  I guess she felt my doubt because she did it again two more times.  I could actually feel it from the outside w/my hand.  I was too excited.  All I could do was smile/laugh.  It felt to so good to finally get kicks from her.  From then on she would not be still, lol.  I've probably had one or two more kicks since then, but for the most part I can just feel her moving.  I swear she is doing summersaults in there.  That's what it feels like to me.  And everytime it happens I get a bit of nasuea going on.  But it's ok, she's moving and I love it!!!  I can also now press on my belly and feel her.  Well at least where she is right now.  She's been laying in the front on my right side for a few days & I guess she's comfy there because she has not moved.  It's totally interferring w/my sleep, but I'm learing what I want doesn't matter, lol.  Glad I learned this lesson early!
