Happy Saturday!

So even thoe it is Saturday and I have no reason to be up at Dark thirty my child in my belly has decided we should get up and be domesticated (laundry, cleaning, etc). I am getting so over not being able to find my comfort zone when I am sleeping. Last night I used my husband as a human pillow. I molded him to my liking and then finally fell asleep. This morning I got up to pee and was unable to go back to sleep.
I always wonder if this is training for the lack of sleep you will get when you newborn is actually here.
So I will continue being the domestic goddess I am for the moment

and then off to a kids birthday party (just how I wanted to spend my Saturday). Hope your Saturday turns out better then mine has so far.
Welcome to my world!

Happy Monday!

Well for anyone that has been reading our blog knows that this weekend was our Baby Shower for our newest addition to the family.
It was alot of fun.
Halfway through the shower my husband says to me
"OMG I have not taken one picture of the shower or the people here".
So he started snapping pictures and taking video of the shower. I can't blame him as the day all seems like a blur since you spend the day talking and entertaining your guests.
We played a really funny game. Called play-dough babies. I highly recommend this game at a shower as everyone had a great time. You give everyone a little bit of play-dough and have them make a baby out of the play-dough. Simple right! You should see some of these babies....





It even kept the kids busy.
We had a great time and got alot of great items for Tai.
Everyone loved his new nursery. Which was nice for my husband and I since he painted and designed the wall mural and a designed the bedding.
We had a amazing day!
Sunday....
My cousin asked if she could take my daughter and son to her condo to swim and I jumped on the opportunity to have a couple hours with no children around. They left and I thought my husband and I were going to finish cleaning up and relax. But he had other motives and told me to shower and get dressed we were going on a afternoon date. Got to love that man.
He took me to see Sex and The City 2 (since I have been bugging about going, but never have time) and then we saw Get Him To The Greek (yes we snuck in to see another movie, don't act like you have never done it). Sex in the City was horrible. Which was a huge disappointment(now I can see why Shrek beat it at the box office). Get Him To the Greek was funny!
After we did some returns from the shower went home and sat down to eat dinner and the kids came home right as we sat down.
They both were burned out from the pool and my daughter was a little burned on her back as daddy forgot to put sunscreen on her back. Poor little girl. So we sent everyone to shower put them to bed early and then sat down to eat our cold dinner and watch the MTV Movie Awards. We were also in bed by 9:20 and asleep about two minutes later. It was a long weekend. But much fun.
Thanks to my husband for throwing me a amazing shower and also taking me on afternoon date day yesterday. I love you Babe!

Nesting Faze!

So I am going on 33 weeks pregnant and this little boy wants out as bad as I want him out. He is now the size of a Pineapple.

OMG I have a Pineapple in my belly! Everything is starting to get uncomfortable again. Last night was a hard night for me...
First my husband and I had a discussion about how every little thing is making me upset or sad. Example - my daughter while taking a shower got water all over the bathroom floor and when dad took her out he neglected to clean it up (Lakers were on). When I went to take a shower last night I stepped on a wet floor mat. When I got out I let him have it about if he was to busy to give her a shower and clean up after her he should have just asked me to do it. He told me he was going to clean it up but just forgot about it for a minute. About two minutes later I apologized and started crying because I was mean. We hugged it out and it was better. We went to bed and I tossed and turn from 11:30 - 1:30 and then gave up and went to my couch, turned on the t.v and feel asleep. Up every couple hours but was able to fall back asleep.
Now this morning I have been on a nesting faze (well really for the past couple days) but I got my custom designed crib bedding a couple days ago and I have been obsessed.

Isn't it great! Thanks Amber You Rock!

Doesn't this look amazing and soft. IT IS SOFTER THEN IT LOOKS!

Only thing missing is our little peanut!
So my husband must be nesting also because he is on a cleaning frenzy. It could also be that my shower is tomorrow and we will have a house full of family and friends. Maybe that's it. Oh I love my husband!
I remember with my daughter towards the end I would fold and unfold her clothes. Now I am just obsessed with cleaning everything. Well at least my house will be clean before the baby comes! I am not responsible once he is here and I am lacking more sleep then I am now.
Welcome to my world!

Surprise Killer!

So for the past couple weeks random people in my life have said things to me out of the blue that leads me to believe someone is getting ready to throw a baby shower for our newest "little peanut".
Examples
First it was my cousin who said
"I got the invite and Hailey and I will be there but Greg can't come".
I said
"What invite/"
and she said
"The shower."
I said
"Oh I am having a shower"
she turned beet red and said
"OMG forget I said anything"

Next

My mom of course said something like
"Does Daniel(my husband) need anything for the party."
I said
"What Party"
her response was
"OH SHIT!! Never Mind! Don't tell anyone I said anything!"

Next
My sister in law says to me two weekends ago
"So your registered at Target?"
I said
"Yeah how did you know"
she said
"Oh it said so on the Baby Shower Invite" she immediately realized she slipped and said
"OH never mind! Don't tell anyone I said anything!"

Ok so that is more then one person who has said something but I have stopped them all before they told me when and who was throwing it!
Then this weekend we are at a family graduation party for my sister in law and my mother in law walks up and says to someone that I am talking to...
"Oh I forgot to bring the invite for you but next Saturday we are having a shower for Melissa at her house"

SURPRISE KILLER!!!!!!

Come to find out that my husband has put together this amazing Sprinkle (mini baby shower)!
OMG! I love that man!

So as everyone found out that my mother in law spoiled the surprise they said they kinda thought I knew about the shower when they got the invitation because they were so cute and assumed I made them myself. Funny but a stab in the chest to my husband who was getting no credit for being creative. We have been together a long time I would hope some of my creativity and my like and dislikes would have rubbed off on him. LOVE YOU HONEY! See the invite (removed address and phone number) but you get the idea!

Isn't it funny how some people just can't keep a secret! FYI! Me either!

Welcome to my world!

Holiday weekend!

You can tell that it is a holiday weekend here is sunny Southern California.
For the past week the weather has been in the 60's and even sometimes looks like it wants to rain. But come Saturday morning of the holiday weekend the sun comes out bright and early and beats down all day.
While out and about with my family running errands my husbands says to me "You can tell it's a holiday weekend because everyone is out riding bikes, dressed like it's summer and buying all the BBQ food they can for their BBQ's on Monday". Including my husband who stocked up on his own BBQ feast.
I enjoy all the summer festivities but could do without the HEAT. Especially being this far along in my pregnancy.
I want to wish everyone a good memorial weekend (whats left of it) and to stay safe.

When is it the right time!!!

So as I enter in to the last couple of weeks of my pregnancy, I try and reflect back on the day I found out I was even pregnant in the first place. Now to say this was unplanned is not 100% true as my husband and I both talked about when would be a "good time" to have another child. I think when you ask someone that question the answer is always when is it ever a good time. I am sure you can think of alot of things you would want to do first before getting pregnant(save money, buy a house, start a business, etc). But the bottom line is something is always going to come up and then it will never be a good time. So we just left it up to fate. If it happened it happened if it did not it did not.

For any of you that do not know me personally then a little back history is that I am not one of those ladies that if you look at me funny I get pregnant. I have been known to need a little medical assistance. This is because I simply do not ovulate or get my period (lucky right). So when we found out that I was pregnant with no help but the help and assistance my husband gave (wink wink) we were very surprised and needed 7 pregnancy pee sticks, a doctor, blood test and a ultrasound to confirm our joy!

Now towards the last leg of this pregnancy I look back and think maybe it was not the best time then or maybe even now but somehow and someway we are going to make it through (eat out less to save money, wait a little longer to buy a house and continue to work hard to make our business a success). We will make the sacrifices we have to to be the best parents we can to the children we have and the child we are going to have. I almost sometimes think it really is a great way to kick yourself into high gear to actually do those things you have been putting off for the good of offering more to your offspring. At least for me that is true.
So thank you little peanut in my belly, Emma(daughter) and Jesse (son) for helping me kick start alot of the goals I had put off.
