Hubby went online over the weekend and purchased us all new tennis shoes, some cinch bags, and him and Xander bat bags. I'm not sure what his plans are for the bat bags, but maybe in a few years Xander can actually use his. He wanted to buy baby girl a pair of Jordan's, but I told him with it being summer, she most likely will not be in shoes, at least not tennis shoes. I also decided NOT to buy baby shoes to go with her outfits that I placed from Gymboree. I know, shocker, but I figured she most likely won't wear them but once or twice so I decided to get a few extra outfits in place of the sandals. Much better of a deal!
We have shopping carts full at Macy's, Carter's, and Babies R Us. Once the baby is born, hopefully some or all of it will still be there and we can place the orders.
I went to our BX (the main place I shop here, it's just a large department store) and picked up a new camera, an outfit for Xander, two outfits for Sterling, breast pump, and a large giant cupcake pan to make Xander for his 1st birthday.
Speaking of 1st birthday...I still haven't decided what we're doing. But I know I'll at least make his day special even if it's just us and his giant cupcake :). Maybe I'll shape the cupcake into a party hat instead? That would be fun and I'd get to do some piping.
I've been feeling crappy lately. I think I'm having contractions, but not real sure. Sometimes they go away after I rest, but mostly the pain I'm feeling sticks around. I'm so excited for my appointment on the 27th to get checked and know if anything is happening, and have the doc strip my membranes. I told hubby last night that I wouldn't be surprised if we end in labor and delivery before the 27th, just to see what all the pains about. This morning as we were talking, he made a good point. He mentioned that we'd know when it's time because I don't like pain and I'd probably be crying...lol. Right now, the pain is a lot of discomfort, not pain where I can't move or handle it. I did have to call him home from work 2 nights ago. I was miserable, swollen, and Xander just wanted me to play with him and I wanted to put my feet up and rest. He came home within 10 minutes! I was shocked. I guess he could tell by my voice how miserable I was. I think that day was the day I was having major braxton hicks because my stomach was constantly hard. When I walk around or carry Xander is the time when the BH comes on. On a positive note, the baby dropped Monday night and ever since I've been able to wear regular bras again! On a negative note, ever since she dropped, that's when the pain started and I've also started getting a pretty consistent shooting/stabbing pain in my va-ja-jay! Sorry...tmi! I'm thinking another perk to pregnancy?
Tonight and tomorrow night it's just Xander and I for dinner. Hubby has a work function to attend both nights. Nothing special to be made or ate. Well, I guess the cupcake is special...haha!
Our weather has turned nice finally. We're back in the 40s for the next few days! I love it!!! I think I'm going to take Xander around the block tomorrow. He has such a blast outside, even in the stroller. Now, I hope it stays this nice at least until after baby is born. I don't want to worry about going up the mountain to get to the hospital in a snow storm or ice storm.
Hope everyone has a great day!
