Weebles Wobble and Don't Fall Down.

Here I am at 28 weeks or 7 months, however you like to figure it. Which means I only have 13 weeks left. Where has the time gone???

Tomorrow I have my glucose test for gestational diabetes...please pray that I pass. I love sweets but my cravings have not been as bad as they have in the past. Seems like baby likes his sweets in moderation. This is a start, right?

In the last two days baby boy has been moving A LOT and ALL DAY. I wake up and he's moving, jabbing or hiccupping. I go to work and he's still doing one of the three. I take a break and hello, mommy still jabbing away. And here I was worried that I would not be able to feel anything, ha! Apparently I got the next top world gymnast in my belly preparing to take the world by storm!

We've sold the convertible and now are on the search for a family friendly car...one that IS NOT a minivan. I may eventually turn into a soccer mom, but I don't think I need the minivan to fulfill those shoes.

Sleeping has become a bit of a chore. I can't seem to get comfortable and when I do it's either time to pee or time to roll over because of a sore hip. I can have pillows between my knees and in my back and nothing helps. But at least I don't wake up tired, so I must be getting some good sleep and not realize it.

I was talking to a friend the other day and we got onto the topic of the amount of pregnant women that complain about their pregnancy. I have to admit that I have had it pretty easy since we found out. I have not been sick and while my tummy can sometimes get in the way, I can't really complain. I'm carrying life inside of me and that is stupendous. And not every gets to experience that. I am not saying that women shouldn't complain, but sometimes you hear the stories and it seems one mom is trying to outdo another in the "I had it so bad" category. Of course some do have it bad, but sometimes it feels like people aren't happy unless they can complain. Maybe that's just me.

And the winner is...

Looks like the consensus says we should go with the hearty pine. But there are only two small problems with this, one being ME and the other being samples.

See, I am not the biggest fan of natural wood. There I said it. I love wood floors and love natural wood furniture in other people's homes, just not my own. When we got married and had to buy all new furniture I picked a yellow-y pine dining room set. The lines on it could be called country and for some reason I didn't think anything of this, which is weird cause I didn't have a country anything in my apartment before we married. If I remember correctly I liked the set cause the price was good and went from seating 4 to 6 with ease. So I picked it and it was done. Fast forward to 4 years later and me tired of the pine and the lines and wanting to do something, anything with the set. Namely get rid of it and get something new and fresh. Instead I opted to paint it white and reupholster the seat cushions and voila, who new dining room set.

But that is not going to be an option with the crib set, it's going to be all or nothing. And that is what worries me and leads me to problem number two. I've picked out a set that not only comes in crib styles but also bunkbeds, twin beds, armoires, dresses, etc. And did I mention there are 20 different colors you can get these items? And here is the biggest problem, none of the stores seem to carry the actual crib in the colors I need to see. I don't necessarily need to see the crib, but just a piece of actual furniture so I can gauge the true color and go from there, but no store seems to have anything in shell or hearty pine. If I wanted red, purple, blue, or pink, I'd be almost to decision. (Ha, right.) So now what? Do I call all the preferred retailers in my state? Do I just forgo this set and pick something else? Or do I declare hearty pine and winner and go forward? Decisions, decisions.

And now for something totally OFF TOPIC:
Anyone looking for a 2002 VW Cabrio? We have one for sale, as driving around kiddos in a convertible might be great for Britney Spears, but doesn't work for this mommy-to-be! If you know someone that might be interested, please send them my way.
