Guess the date!

Guess the date!

Well I had another great shower this weekend. Here is one great picture and I will do a post with more about it later

fam shower 1

Now its your turn to particpate! Leave a comment and guess which day our baby girl will be born! Her official due date is either August 11 or 13, the doctor has said both at different times. I am saying her due date is August 11th. I go to the doctor on Thursday and she will tell me how big she thinks the baby is and all that fun stuff.

Now leave a comment and make your guess!

What to do?

What to do?

I have about 4 full weeks until the week that has my due date in it.

35 wks (2)

Here are some things I want/need to do:

-hang out with friends more!!

-finish sewing a nursing cover or 3, at least until my supply of fabric runs out. I made some a few summers ago and still have supplies to make some. So I want to make a couple to give away and then go pick myself out some really fun fabric from Hobby Lobby and make myself one.

-work towards/finish sewing the T-shirt quilt I started last summer. I cut out the shirts and layed out the placement and then got as far as sewing the first row. I need to cut all the rest of the middle pieces and sew the rest of it up! Recognize any of these shirts?

-launder the baby bedding and some newborn clothes. I put it on the crib already because I couldn’t resist seeing how it looked! But now I need to take it off and wash it! (Post with nursery pictures coming soon)

-use a gift card for Movie Tavern and have a meal with my movie

-use a gift card and eat cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory

-do more Kegels

-put the rest of our CD collection on the computer and into iTunes so we can listen to it more easily!

-go swimming a few more times. Here we were on our way back from the pool at our condo in Destin. It was a nice pool! Not too deep with some shade! (I like to be able to touch bottom when I swim!) (Those flowers in the back smelled HEAVENLY!!)

What do you recommend I do in my last few weeks before I have a small child to be responsible for????

Cow Appreciation Day

So we went to get our free Chick Fil A for lunch!

Here we are with our free food! It feels funny to order and not get out your wallet!

Here we are with the new “kid” cow mascot!

And then we got together with some friends at a different Chick Fil A and had free dinner too! I know, we are cheap! Here we are with the regular cow mascot. The funny thing was, we saw the exact same family in front of us in line at both locations! What are the odds that we would go to the same two different locations at the exact same times? Wierd! But the food was yummy and it was sure worth the $24 or so we saved by dressing like a cow!

Honest Scraps

Honest Scraps

So my friend Leanna tagged me with Honest Scraps…sharing 10 real things about myself to my little blogging community. I have taken a while to do this, but here I go:

1. I really like to shop. It is one of my favorite things to do. Too bad it is not so good for my bank account…

2. When we went to Turkey a few years ago, I learned that I liked peach cobbler, Special K cereal, Honey Nut Cheerios and Coke Floats. I had never eaten those things much or at all in America because I thought I didn’t like them, but when they were the most like home food available, I sure did try them. And they are great!

3. My husband says I breathe really loudly since I have been pregnant. Like last night, he asked me to turn over because I was breathing so loudly in his direction!

4. With a few exceptions, the only two channels I ever watch are HGTV and TLC. Yes these shows have no real plot line and are about other people’s lives, but I still like them. Maybe because they are about shopping and decorating.

5. I think I would like to be an interior designer. I like the idea that someone would give me X amount of money and say “Ok, go buy stuff to redecorate my bedroom”.  Anyone want me to do this for them?

6. I abhor snakes. I can’t even look at pictures of them in magazines. I am so glad my husband is not one of those guys who likes snakes. I don’t think I could have ever dated him if he had a snake. He likes to rescue doggies but I am okay with furry things, just not scaly things.

7. I am really ticklish.

8. I am 27 years old and still really never wear makeup. I think I should, it looks better, but I don’t really know what to wear and I don’t like to take the time.

9. I type really fast and with my fingers on the home row keys. It pays to not cheat in keyboarding class. Whenever I would be typing in class and my students would comment on how fast I type, I would tell them that.

10. I don’t really like that many vegetables. I need to be like that guy in the V8 commercial who goes and drinks some V8 juice to make himself actually get enough fruits and veggies for the day.

Okay I made it to all 10!

So to pass the torch along, I tag anyone who wants to play!
