Just Depressing...

As I lay here with my feet propped up because my ankles have swollen...I happened upon our honeymoon photos from Jamaica. Oh to not be 9 months pregnant, swollen, sore and tired.....

(Chris of course still looks great :)

Oh today

I am feeling antsy today.

Not sure why. Not sure if its this whole "nesting"thing they speak of. That just seems to be the extreme desire to prepare and decorate (my own personal def.) and I am pretty sure I have that all the time. Pregnant or not.

Today is different though. I feel like I really need to just be cleaning my house. Like mopping the floors and organizing. It was torture coming to work today as all I could think about was going through every drawer in the house and throwing stuff away. Its crazy I tell ya.

I got the bedding last night. Its beautiful bedding. Very soft, very cute. Very bluey green? I don't know. Chris is not thrilled with the shade of bluey green and to be honest its not the exact color of the walls, but then again, I have searched EVERYWHERE and I just don't know if I can bare to begin looking again. I am going to trouble shoot it tonight and tomorrow and figure out if I can add orange ribbon and maybe who knows what else to make it work more with our decor. It really is beautiful bedding and I love it on its own, just got to find a way to incorporate it into the room more. (I'll post pictures once I decide what I'm going to do)

In other news we need a baby name. Well we think we may have one. We like Christian. Or Cristian. We are leaning towards the latter spelling. I just don't know. What do you all in the blogsphere think?

Cristian Bishop Baksa? You like?

Bishop we pulled outta no where and we love it. I just don't know what to name this little guy. Part of me can see myself calling him Cristian. My cute little Cristian. Spelling it without the "h" makes it a little different and hopefully cuts down on people calling him Chris. (no offense but Chris and I don't want to call him Chris, otherwise well we'd just call him Chris..)

Oh here's how I kept my sanity at work today. I did a little "planning" err shopping for things I have been wanting to check off my list.

I so want this:

Its a boppy cover. Its minky black on the back and this damask print on the front. I didn't buy it, but so want to. I'm going to wait until after my showers are over and see if I get my boppy and a cover. Its on Etsy.com if anyone is looking to pretty much make me the happiest girl (ha) out there...hint hint... http://www.etsy.com/shop/mollyannemake

This:

Its a diaper wipes case. I think it will look great in my diaper bag. And for $7 bucks!

This:

This is an awesome burp cloth with black minky material on one side and damask on the front. Its $8. I have been looking for one that I can buy so I have something I can replicate :) Or attempt to. I think this would be the official diaper bag burp cloth as well.

I figure $15 isn't too bad for some much needed fun in my day :)

All my love,

Week 6: Symptons and the Stories that go with them

(This picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post, other than it is a picture of me, in an apron,and you wear aprons when you prepare food, and food is at the forefront of everything that has affected me thus far, so its a reach, but enjoy)

I have not experienced too many symptoms of pregnancy yet, but there are a few oddities I'll share here with you. I'm not sharing all of them, but I'll be sure to sacrifice my pride if its really funny. Just don't, you know, tell everyone.

• I was sitting at my desk last week, when I smelled something bad. Really really bad. Like it smelled like dog food. That nasty canned dog food that reeks. I went searching for this foul odor, because that's what you do when something smells really bad. You go find it. I don't know why, its just what you do. So I'm searching for the dog food, up one aisle, down another, and finally I find it. 15 cubicles away. I couldn't tell what it was, but man it smelled bad. I was on my way back to my desk to tell my cube-mates, when I realized that was really far away to be smelling food...and at this point they didn't know I was pregnant, so I just sat down and sprayed TONS of body spray all over myself. Gag.

• Chris brought me a quesedilla with salsa and sour cream on it today. I gagged at the sour cream. Actually gagged. If you know me well, you know I consider sour cream a food group. Chris just stared at me in disbelief. Even just thinking about it now....ewww, it looked so gross.
  

• I am loving sandwiches. Sandwiches everyday. Subway is my new favorite place. Now if I start eating spaghetti like crazy, Chris is going to be so excited.
  

• Crab was not good when I ate it. Crab people! Dipped in butter! I'm going to have to stop, I'm tearing up. It was ridiculous.

• FATIGUE! I am sleepy for about 20 hours a day. Early morning I'm wide awake (which is so weird for me) and by noon I'm drowsy again. For. The. Rest. Of. The. Day.

• Heart burn started today. Boo.
  

Well its off to bed for me, 9:30pm is about all this former night owl can take.

Love, Nicole
