Thoughts on Thursday

Hubs has been gone all week on business and I can't wait for him to come home today.  I decided to head to my parents while he was gone to keep me busy and to help with the pups since I hurt my back last weekend (spending 3 hours cleaning, not good at 8 months pregnant).  It's always nice to be home, eat family dinners and just spend quality time with my family.  Mom and I made lots of things for AG's room and dad and I spent most of our time talking about life. While life at its best is difficult, one thing I know is how blessed I am with amazing parents.


Even though it was nice to be home, this week has been emotionally draining.  My grandma had a bad fall about a month ago and it's been a very slow recovery and trying month for us.  Just as she was about to get out of her skilled nursing facility, she had another set back and went back in the hospital yesterday.  This time it seems to be much more serious.  She has been such a big part of my life for the past 28 years, I can't imagine her not here with us.  I want her so badly to meet AG but I feel selfish because she is in so much pain. She has lived an amazing life and I know that He has a plan for her. I just want a little more time, I'm not ready to let her go.




I bought my first pair of Havaianas at Nordstrom Rack for $9.99 and I'm in love with them.  They are especially good right now, when my feet are too swollen to fit in most of my sandals.

The weather here is supposed to be rainy for the next few days. I'm thrilled.  I am looking forward to relaxing, catching up on my shows and on lots of orders.  These are the summer days I look the most forward to.    




I miss shopping.  Every morning I have a plethora of emails waiting for me about the most recent sales and styles, I used to look but I had to stop.  I want to buy everything.  I've even gone as far as buying some things I love, knowing they wont fit but hoping I'll be able to wear them after baby.  Probably not the smartest decision considering I have no idea how my body will be after birth.  Time will tell, but I'm still not returning them! Since clothes aren't my thing, I've been obsessing over jewelry, especially these bubble necklaces!

We have our first baby class on Saturday.  I'm excited but nervous at the same time.  I have a feeling it's going to make thing so much more real. 


We also did a 4D ultrasound yesterday.  My dad saw a picture of one and thought it would be neat to do.  We had planned on going as a family, but with everything going on it ended up being just mom and I.  I felt bad doing it without D, but they wouldn't have been able to do one after tomorrow since I'll be 32 weeks and it would be hard to see her.  We love all the pictures, there is one of her smiling that completely melts my heart.  I just cant wait to meet her!

Recently found your blog. You are such a cute pregnant lady! I really enjoy reading everyday. I totally agree with going to your parents while your hubby is away. There is something always so special about spending time with them after your married and now that you have a baby on the way. Girls are the best too! I have a 19 month old and she is my world! Good luck with everything! Can't wait to see picture of your little one!

I have been eyeing that necklace from J Crew for a while now, but can't get the courage to spend the money!
