First New England Snow Day

Tonight we got our first glimpse of the snow to come in the near future. It is so pretty and yet so cold outside. I can completely forget about walking Gizzy outside in this weather....out comes the puppy pads, now I wish I had stocked up on them when they were on sale for $10 bucks! Speaking of Sales, last night I scored a cute purple bubble jacket (which can be seen in the pic above) at Walmart for only $7 bucks! How exciting...a coat for $7 bucks, granted its not the most fashionable coat but I'm not trying to win any fashion awards...it does it job in keeping me warm. I made sure to get the coat 2 sizes bigger than I normally am so as I continue to grow during my pregnancy I won't have to worry about finding a winter coat to fit! I also managed to score 2 $10 dollar 100% wool sweaters at Old Navy! Yes, it seems like the sales keep rolling. Old Navy has been holding it down with the sales. I hit Old Navy up on black Friday and got a whole bunch of fleecy sweaters and sweats and long sleeve shirts! An entire bag of clothing for only $25 bucks, can't beat that with a stick. Before I move on I wanted to also mention that there was 30% off already reduced items at Old Navy so I couldn't resist buying a couple more large shirts (my maternity wear)! A great bargain buts a smile on my face! =)

well, we are going to chill, watch some football, I might even brush the lint off my sewing machine and get started on a couple of things here and there....ummm....well, a nap sounds a bit better.

until I am back in the swing of things....stay crafty!!!

Its a Girl!

We are very proud to announce that we are having a Baby Girl! I am so excited. Gizzy will have a little sister and I will get to have the little girl that I have been dreaming about. I can't wait to lay my eyes on her. Finally the house will be even...two boys and two girls!

Nite Nite!

Happy Happ

Well Hello everyone!

Today we have reached 19 weeks~! I am starting to feel the weight gain in my back lately. Last night was horrible...I was literally in tears from all the pain that was shooting up and down my back. The midwife said the pain was most likely from the baby resting on my sciatic nerve. After about a good 2 hours and shifting my weight from left to right the pain subsided and I was finally able to get some rest.

Just the thought of walking around is making my back ache. I couldn't even last 1 hour walking around the mall before my lower back started to ache. As you can see from the pic above I am starting to get the "sway back" posture from all of the baby weight gain. I hope it all disappears once the baby is born! Phew....now I am going to get some rest and continue with my insane cravings which i will have to comment on later. hehehehe!

hugs and kisses!!!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Yeah today is my birthday! Next year it will fall on Thanks Giving. I couldn't be more excited to celebrate my birthday today. To start my birthday off, Mr. Papitag surprised me with flowers and a card at my office this morning (he completely tricked me and pretended like he was on his way to work this morning). He knows my favorite color is purple and they just happened to have a new line of seasonal multi-purple bouquet of purple Carnation's .....oh how I love them. I can't wait until they start to dry out a bit so I can preserve them and dry them out completely to put them in my "purple" office at work....they are so pretty. Tonight we are going to my favorite restaurant "Papparazi" (however you spell it) which you may notice I blogged about last year....I absolutely love this place, mostly for the yummy scrumptious cheesy Italian bread and dipping sauce that they have...mmmmmmmmmm I can smell it now. I will open up my gifts later on tonight. Its funny how after you hit a certain age everyone including your parents forget how old you are....I have been having a great time telling everyone that I am all different ages....hehehehehe! Well, I just got finished with work and although it is my birthday I still have to complete things that are part of my normal routine which includes walking Gizzy....

So, if it happens to be your Birthday today...many joyful wishes to you!

Smooches!

Baby bump and Muscles

So I have been trying to see the difference in my body that this pregnancy is changing so I took some pictures of me at 4 months pregnant. I was shocked by the changes in my thighs and hip areas but I completely anticipated the belly bump to grow and grow and grow. Thank goodness my "baby potions" has continued to help my skin stay smooth and healthy around my belly and hips. I will have to share my "potion" at a later date...until then...I will continue to grow and I hope you will continue to stay crafty!

My Lovely Baby Bump!

Well, here it is. My ever growing belly (for now) at 4 months! We aren't sure what we are having yet, but we find out at the end of the month. The second trimester has been interesting...no one told me about the following:

the itchy skin, facial break-outs and the horrible dry hair. I guess I can't complain though because I haven't had any nausea (thank goodness)!!!

I will keep more pics coming as I keep growing (lol)
