We have a little bit of an invader some nights! No shock. Blue just loves being close! Most nights I won't hear her sneak in but at some point in the night I'll feel her kick, nuzzle or breath on me and it's one part annoying and one part endearing!
Last night she came early at 11:30 while I still lay there trying my hardest to find a comfortable way to sleep and wishing I had an IV dripping sleeping meds into my body!For 30 min I tossed and turned and tossed and turned Blue trying to make her snoring stop! How on earth can a three year old sound like that! Oh yeah..she has huge tonsils. She sounds like a man. No man I want to sleep with.
Mike was oblivious to the lumber jack chainsaw operator sound asleep between the two of us. I didn't have it in me to scoop her up myself and transport her back to her bed so what was I to do!? Basically I swore in my head,( Which was still not a swear word because I hate swearing but it did the trick in making me feel validated for being put out!) grabbed my array of pillow sleeping aids and headed to her bed.
I can't even say it was a bad nights sleep after that point! I still tossed, turned and readjusted all night but I woke up to a sweet kiss on the cheek from Cricket as she found me sleeping next to her!

Tale of the " Uglies"
I greeted the day with one thing on my mind...The day's greeting came too early and oh it's 9 am! I've turned into this slug who can not function before her first installment of Baby Story at 10. I've become that mom. I'll blame it on growing a baby and cross my fingers it's a bad habit I'll lose along with the baby weight! Peeing in the middle of the night, waking up every time I roll over and magically opening my eyes up at exactly 12:00 a.m AND 4:oo am craving grape juice don't help either!
Yesterday was the start! I had my first official "Ugly" day! I tried on a dress I was sure would fit only to be stopped half way up the zipper as I turned my body round and round trying to will it to close! No luck! The only thing that fit was a dress that earned me an interesting comment from Cricket..."Wow mom!You like like a big fairy without wings!" Pretty sure fat fairy wasn't the look I was going for. Oh well...I gave into the fat fairy look because I was to scared to try anything else on in fear I'd have a bigger " YEAH RIGHT YOU CAN STILL FIT INTO ME!" pile on my closet floor!
Onto my hair and make up. I sat and thought about the best way to go about this. How is a fat Fairy suppose to look. Curls flowing or pony tail? Natural face almost child like or matching blue eyeshadow to compliment her blue fairy uniform? Let's just say I sat and did my thing and when all was said and done and I closed my eyes and made a wish that something magical would happen and all I saw looking back at me was a tired looking, 30 week pregnant nearly thirty year old who looked her age fairy. Sigh!!!
Not having a plan B, I just gave into it! My first official Ugly day. Not to say I haven't looked haggard and run down over the last 30 weeks but it was that all encompassing I hate my body, I hate my hair, I look so bad, feel so bad rotten day and no amount of make up, hairspray or compliments would have made a difference!! And the best part about it was I got to go to church and show off that special look! At least when people look at me in a state like that they can say to themselves "She's pregnant....that's what that looks like on her!"
At the end of the day Mike and I were talking and he says out of no where " You really look pretty right now!" WHAT!!!!!! You tell me that right now at 10:47 pm when all day I've felt like a cow...an ugly cow! Thanks! I could have used that oh... at about the time I was looking for real fairly wings to fly me far far away to a enchanted make over kingdom where all my dreams could come true! Again...SIGH!!!!

Blasted head!
This cold is kickin my butt!!!!! You forget how totally awesome breathing is! Crappy Cold!!!! This will be day 4 so I should be back to my flowery cheery self in no time right! Oh wait....When was I flowery or cheery....you know what I mean!
So here's the first "Totally SUCKS!" We waited to long on that bedroom furniture we finally found and now it's no longer available. Lovely! I was so pissed off! So back to square one. The worst part is I swear we have been to every furniture store out there and nothing looks good! Boo hoo! So no getting me bed off the floor any time soon!
Secondly, Mike and I are on two totally different pages when it comes to picking a color for the nursery so that will be fun to negotiate....yeah RIGHT!!!! I think the lack of oxygen making it's way to my brain is effecting my ability to care much at this stage! I'm ready to just let this kid sleep in a box on the floor at the foot of my bed till she's 3. The idea of painting makes me gag! I've lost my enthusiasm. I'm sure that will change!
I did find an all to perfect dresser for the nursery last week. Sadly I paid way to much for it but I swear when I walked past it it whispered to me " Come hither' So I hithered and fell in love. It doesn't look nearly as enchanting sitting in my dirty garage as it will in her room. It's one piece of the puzzle. IT's old antique, weathered, beautiful and so me. I don;t even dare post a picture yet for fear you'd think I pulled it out of a dumpster... I kid, but really it's awesome and will look like a prized piece once placed in a finished room...that alone should be motivation enought to ge the nursery done right!
ok...off to do something productive...like get in bed and rest!

It's a start!
Heather Bailey comes through again!!! I finally pulled the trigger on some fabric for the baby bedding. Everything else was on hold till I found what I wanted. I fell in love with a room that had a fabric that was sending me to the ends of the earth to find and I came up with nothing!So I am keeping with it's color scheme and crossing my fingers!
This fabric is for a crib dust ruffle! I want to paint the crib red, the walls a soft pale teal and go from there!We'll see how it all comes together.
You know me... nothing too feminine for my girls just cheery and comfortable!

Can't think of anything
Great weekend!I love love love it when Mike has the weekend off of school! It's quality time that seams even more valuable now that it comes in an every other weekend dose!
The girls started swim lessons and Saturday and Mike and I both got to witness Cricket Loving it and Blue being her "Rain Man" self at times as she sat on the steps and teases the teacher! At least she sat in the water. She'll do better next week!
I THINK we may have found some bedroom furniture!!!!Cross your fingers! It only took us 16 months and an increase in the budget to find it but I think we're on to something! Hopefully we'll head back tomorrow night and seal the deal and by next weekend I should be finally sleeping in a room I love and not a room I fear people seeing! Dude I'm picky!
Furniture seems to be the theme of the house lately! We have lots to do before the baby comes and converting the office into a nursery is top priority. I have been trying to sell my Piano that I simply adore and love and it breaks my heart to have to part with. We have to now use that front, other wise useless room, for our office now so it has to go. No bites yet so if you know of anyone in my area who would pamper a red piano and has $650 send them my way! We did sell the desk in the bedroom so now once that picked up we can start in there!
I'm having a hard time finding the perfect fabric for the nursery!This is the first time I really gt to do a nursery and I want it to be perfect. That means me changing my mind, searching on line and coming up with nothing most of the time! Shoot!Maybe this kid will sleep in a laundry basket too the first months of her life till I get my act together and make a decision.
Hallelujah!!!! I finally figured out how to get my bread to rise properly and man does it make a difference! All it took was me finally listening to Mike. Something I try as a last resort when it comes to things in the cooking department but he mentioned a way that his mom used to do it and what do you know it worked like a charm! So don't judge but we 4 polished off an entire loaf in just two helpings today! I'm calling it ok because it was more to celebrate the fact that bread actually does rise and I can can get it to rise!
That's the recap my friends!
On the belly front... I'm 28 weeks, feeling great, platelets are good and I'm large!
