Why?

Why is it, that when you are pregnant, people think they can say whatever the heck they want to you and you should be okay with it. If you overreact, it's just because your emotional right? fat pregnant women have feelings too. And TRUST ME....we know when things start to swell and yes, we know we are getting HUGE. I just thought I would share a few comments that I have gotten from friends/family/husband/strangers in these 8 months of pregnancy. And yes, I know there will be more as I am still growing. haha. Luckily, I make fun of myself as well and I just try to laugh it off. I know it will all go back to semi-normal soon.

• Honey, your face is so nice and round these days.
• Man, every time I look at you, you are causing me physical pain.
• You're pregnant? Good, I could tell, but wasn't going to say anything.
• Heather, I think you should sit down, your body is swelling.
• Can I push that bed for you? It looks painful.
• Here, don't you dare bend over.
• You haven't popped yet?
• Your due WHEN?
• Why are you so much bigger then Deb? Aren't you due after her?
• I love to push on pregnant womens belly buttons, its like a trampoline.
• Geez, when is that child coming out of you, you have been pregnant forever!!
• Gosh Heather, how much lunch did you pack for one day? You think you have enough? I'm hungry too!
• Hungry Hippo is a nickname I have recieved.
• Do you ever stop eating?
• Everytime I see you, you have something in your mouth.
• Your big belly is just so darn cute!
• Don't worry, you should

I'm sure there are many more. I get comments every day. I won't lie, I will not miss the same questions asked day after day. I just try to answer them like it was my first time being asked. I know people are just excited for me. I find myself asking the same questions to other pregnant women too though, so I think it's just a form of small talk. If you can think of any more fun comments that you got while you were pregnant, feel free to add them to the list! Only 28 more days!!!! Wahooooooo.

Baby stuff!

So Kyle and I were finally ready to set up the baby room. We wanted to a while ago but decided we better hold off so we don't have to wait forever for her to get here. So they other night we got to it. Kyle insisted on doing it the manly way, but I MADE him read the directions and is went much smoother. Everything was put together and no swear words were said. Man, good thing they throw in that packet of paper...Just in case :)

This is our almost finished crib. We still don't have a mattress but as soon as we do, it will be soooo cute!!!

Baby Showers

This is me trying to bend over blind folded and change a baby diaper in 30 seconds. The stupid dolls legs wouldn't open up which made it very difficult!!



I got so many cute little outfits! So fun.

This is us making scrap book pages for my new scrap book. Great idea for the handi scrapbooker.

The cutest things ever.

The spread of yummy Cheese cakes and baby pictures.

The Boppy Bouncer that I really wanted!!

Loved the pink stroller. I thought it was fun to push around with my little stuff animal bear.

Allie and Annalee came to support me and my belly!!

Here I am big and proud!! 34 weeks baby. Only 40 days to go. SO CRAZY!!!!

I had so much fun at my baby showers. I do have one more, and it's a work one and cannot wait. I love seeing all the cute stuff that they make for little baby girls. Who knew it would be so much fun getting presents for NOT you. haha. I can't wait to be a mother and am eagerly awaiting the birth of my little Bailey!!

Thanks everyone.

Domesticated!

So I've decided that I need to learn how to do motherly/wife type things since the only thing I'm good at is sports!! Luckily I have Allie and Annalee who feel the same and we have been good at helping each other out. Annalee is very good at sewing and poor thing had to teach the sewing for dummies to me. I went and bought myself a sewing machine and we got together and I now know how to thread a bobbin, sew a button, fix a stuck needle, and I even have made 2 scrubtops for work!!!
Next thing we did together was made homemade freezer jam. Who knew it could be so fun and easy. We made a day out of it and it was awesome. We started with Strawberry jam and we might try to do Apricot jam next. For my moms b-day I baked a fresh loaf of bread and gave her a jar of jam. How simple!
Last thing I did on my own. I'm getting super excited for the arrival of our new baby girl, so I went out and bought letters for her room. I got creative and went and sat outside so I could get a tan while painting. I painted the letters the green color of the wall and did pink and brown polk-a-dots! They are super cute. I will post a picture later.
I have a few more projects in the working but all-in-all, I'm having fun learning new things I never knew how to do and I'm quite proud of myself. haha Who know a tom boy could do arts and crafts :)
Thanks Annalee and Allie for helping the needy!!!!
