Baby Roo Shoes Im so excited! Dillard's is having their winter clearance sale and
I found my baby boy some polo hiking boots, two different styles
and sizes for $13.75 each instead of the normally priced $55 each!!!
Dont you know I snatched those up quickly! True, the shoes probably
wont fit him until he is nearly 2.... but who could resist that price?
Then I had found all these ralph lauren outfits for him, all under $15
each (rather than the $30-50 range). So I call my older sister to tell
her about my great bargain finds, and she burst my bubble. When Im
shopping, and I see 6 months, I think oh that will fit at 6 months, NOT
it will fit between 3-6 months. So I got 3 different little outfits for the
winter, for 6 months... and unless he is just tiny, they arent going to fit!!!
ugh! OH well, I guess Ill go return them to the other mall here in town,
and see if they have some bigger sizes for the winter clothes... need to
get the 9 month size.

Running Across my Stomach Today my mother had her second surgery this time for her
right lung. She did have to remove most of the upper lobe,
and just a wedge from the lower lobe. The surgery went
really well! Hopefully this will rid her body of the cancer,
and it wont return!
I guess my little boy was feeling how anxious and nervous
I was all day... because he has been very very active! At
one point, it felt as though he were his little feet from one
side of my stomach all the way to the other. And as I sit
here, it felt like he punched me up under my breast, because
my breast actually jolted up!
Ive been feeling really good. I have had some intense
heartburn a few times, but I wouldnt say it is an everyday
event for me. I do have to shave my chin every single night!
Ive always had a few hairs that grow on my chin, that I either
pluck or would shave away about once a week. But
during my pregnancy, I have had to work up to shaving
every single day, and by the end of the day, I have stubble!!!
I dont know what to do about it.
I ordered a diaper bag off of eBAY on the 16th, and I still
havent gotten it! I dont know why its taking so long, but its
really starting to irritate me. The lady I purchased the bag
from, told me if I did not receive it by Monday that she would
ship out another one for me. Go figure my first eBay transaction,
and my item gets lost in the mail!
I know the formatting on my blog, has been all screwy. Not sure
what is going on, but its only showing my last two entries. Not
sure how to fix or who to contact to fix it though.... Sorry!

Bizzaro Dream So last night I dreamed that I had my little boy and he was perfect,
but there was something completely and tee totally wrong with me!
We came home for the hospital and for some reason, I couldnt see him
or hear him. It wasnt that I could find him, it was as though my mind blocked
me from being able to see him. So someone would have to give him to me
to hold then I could finally see him. I was thinking I had the perfect baby that
NEVER EVER cried. I just thought he would be yawning with his face
scrunched up and his mouth wide open.
So I go in for my check up, and the receptionist at my dr's office was like
"Isnt there something you can do to get him to quiet down" I asked her
why, and she told me he was screaming. When I told her I couldnt hear
it, she said she would be right back and went and got the doctor.
I dont really know much more than that as far as what happened in the
dream, but it was just so strange that I couldnt see him or hear him. Am
I afraid that I will somehow neglect him or something? What does it
mean??? Kind of freaked me out, I know... its just a dream.

6 month check up Had my 6 month dr. visit this past thursday. The doctor gave
me a cervical exam to make sure everything was okay, due
to my odd shaped uterus (bicornuate or septated, its never
been diagnosed exactly which). She said everything was
normal and as it should be. Surprisingly, my blood pressure
was 116/62. I was afraid it was going to be worse with my
recent anxiety attacks, and my mother's impending surgery!
And with my new all time high weight that I never thought I
would surpass in my entire life... I guess I was expecting for
my blood pressure to sky high! I guess Im remaining more calm
than I thought. Nonetheless, I think it did help me calm down
knowing everything was normal. I go back in 3 weeks and will
have my glucose test.
Funny thing happened at the doctor's visit. While she was
TRYING to listen to his heartbeat for a length of time, which
is always trying as he can not hold still, all of a sudden she said
"Uh! He just kicked me!" I was thinking good, maybe he'll kick
anyone that tries to touch him and will be mommy's little boy ONLY.
I went and finished my registry this past friday night. A couple
from church went with me, and helped me figure out how to work
the car seats, strollers, which weighed the least, which were
easier to work with, etc. So I finally decided on my stroller and
car seat. You can check out my registry at
Let me know if there's something essential I forgot to register
for! Im so afraid that everyone will show up with clothes for me,
instead of the things I registered for and really need!!! I guess
beggars cant be choosey huh?
I still can not find a changing table/dresser that I like AND
can afford. I really need to get out and check out some garage
sales out there. Everyone says Ill end up changing him all over
the place anyway, BUT Im just anal enough to go change him at
the changing table everytime!!! If anyone knows of a place you
can find decent quality changing tables and dressers at a
reasonable price, let me know!
Well my mother goes back under the knife on March 1st. This
will be her surgery on the right lung, which was the one that
had more spots on it from the chest x-ray. My mother is insistent
that I not come home. I think she knows that I need to save my
time off for work, not to mention the fact that they will begin
moving on March 1st. They have found a huge 4 bedroom house,
for me and baby roo to come live with them. I wish I could move
with them now.... but I need to work as long as I can and stay on
my health insurance as long as possible!
My first baby shower will be March 12th. Its a sunday afternoon
at la madeline's. It will most likely be all the women that I go to
church with. I have invited a few friends from work and others,
but it doesnt seem as though many of them can make it. Not to
sound greedy.... but I was kind of hoping they would do something
for me at work. I just cant really afford to buy much on my own,
Im trying to save money for when I move home in case I dont have
a job immediately!
I posted a baby name poll, so if you would like to cast your vote
go to the following site:
Im probably 90% certain on the name... still just not quite sure on the
middle name. Well I havent heard from the sperm donor still. Last I
heard from him, the beginning of December, he was still trying to
get his head wrapped around the information. So I guess he's still
wrapping!!! Thats fine, Ive finally okay with him not being included
at all. Its not as though he has made an effort and I am telling him no
he can't, he's made this decision all by himself... Im sure he'll be sorry
one day.
Guess that about covers it!
