I finally did it!!

I bought me a pair of these..... (Well, actually.... 3!)

After asking everyone what they have worn in the past and trying on a few myself I finally found some that fit cute and don't necessarily "LOOK" like maternity pants. Thanks to Sadi, I found these adorable Lilac maternity jeans and even got them for a good price! They sell them online or you can find them at maternity botiques, but Costco has them there right now for like half the price!! They have a little kiosk set up in Costco and are selling jeans and a couple diff maternity shirts, so if you need maternity jeans or you may need them in the very near future you should go purchase them. Seriously, they are the closest to "normal" looking jeans I have been able to find. I am SUPER SUPER picky with clothes, especially when it comes to jeans, so I was willing to even pay full price for these if needs be! They are so comfy, I've been squeezing into my normal jeans up until now (and still do some days) but these are such a nice change. I wanted to try and make it my whole pregnancy without having to get some, but I failed. Being comfortable is worth a million dollars to me at this point.. so these pants turned into a necessity!

Comparing...

So I'm almost 7 months and I seriously feel like my belly is quadrupled in size in like the last couple weeks.... so I wanted to see the difference between when I first found out and now! OH MY GOSH!! See for yourself....

 

Could it possibly get any bigger, I mean honestly! And I still have like 13 weeks to go! What am I to do? Obviously nothing... but geez. Don't mind the fact that I look like I just woke up in the 2nd picture, I pretty much just had. I just cant believe the difference... I knew I had grown but I feel like I look like a whale here, maybe its the white shirt and VERY pasty skin. Not quite sure which is worse lol Anyways... things are going good! I'm almost to the 3rd trimester, yipee! My bedding should be here any day and I cant wait! My flowers I purchased for headbands on eBay have finally arrived so now I can start all the fun bows and such! I feel like I have so much for the little one yet so much to get still. I'm very much welcoming the warmer weather and counting down the days till I can finally meet my little girl.. only 92 more days to go! Oh so close.... haha

Opinions!?

Ok.. so I've decided on my bedding for the babe... but now I'm getting all paranoid about it and over analyzing it all I'm sure. So I need opinions. This is the bedding I think I've decided on:

We also have a dark cherry crib so it would look almost exactly like this picture. I was reading the reviews on it though and someone said they bought it for their little boy! I guess it COULD be universal but is it not "girly" enough? I don't really want a unisex bedding set.. I know that I'm having a girl so I want her bedding to be very girly! Also... are these diaper holders worth getting, like are they just more to have because they match and are cute or do people really use these regularly?

I have wicker baskets under my changing table that I was just going to use for diapers... but this is just so dang cute, I don't know if I can pass it up. Therefore I guess I'm just wondering if its practical at all or if its just cute!?
And if you had to choose... would you get the diaper holder or this adorable hamper? I wish I could get the whole room... but unfortunately I cant, so I have to decide on which is cuter/more practical!

This is the other bedding I was considering:

I still think its really cute, but just seems so typical baby girl? I'm thinking I kinda want something different but obviously cant decide. I think I'm pretty set on the first but want peoples opinions! So be honest! Even if you don't have kids I want to know your opinion... I'm probably way over analyzing this but its a big decision :) So comment and tell me what you think! Thanks!

6 Months!!

24 Weeks... and 1 day, but who's counting!? I could potentially have my baby in like 12 weeks, crazy!! Time has been flying by, some days not so much, but for the majority it has, which is nice! I'm working like crazy so that seems to help as well! I've loved being pregnant so far, besides the normal things that aren't so fun, I've had a pretty smooth pregnancy!

My belly is seriously growing by the day (which for some reason it doesn't look it really here... especially when I feel huge! lol) and I'm slowly watching each "normal" shirt I wear and thinking "this is probably the last time or one of the last times I'll be able to wear you for awhile." It's exciting, but kinda depressing at the same time, I'm not gonna lie. There is just something about "Maternity Clothes" shopping that doesn't quite bring on the same excitement that "normal clothes" shopping would! I think I've thoroughly shocked my husband by not wanting to go maternity clothes shopping... he has never heard me turn down shopping, ever. Little does he know, that whole saying no thing goes right out the window once the baby is born! :) With the lack of shopping I've been doing for myself you would think we would have more money, but no... I've just replaced my normal shopping habits with baby shopping! Have you ever shopped for a girl?!! Their isn't ONE thing that you don't have to have. I mean honestly! Between bows, and flowers and outfits and everything, Its virtually impossible. I feel like it should be too soon to be buying these things:



but its going to be here before we know it so now is the time to start purchasing big items!! We are just so excited for her to get here... it seems like she is all we talk about and think about and just cant wait to be able to hold in our arms and spoil her like crazy! We promised ourselves that we would have one thing FOR SURE before the baby came, and this is it:

We were going to buy it last year at Thanksgiving/Christmas time and it just never happened! So we have sold a few things we don't ever use anymore to get some extra cash and we are purchasing it this weekend! I am so excited! Our camera we have now is more then terrible and Jacob doesn't let me forget it! It will be so nice to have a fast camera to capture all the fun stuff when the baby comes! I have seriously become addicted to this place (website):

They have everything you could ever want and MORE for your baby. I've made quite a few purchases off there already for the little one and have ended up loving all of them! Jacob may need to start monitoring our paypal account, I just cant seem to pass up a good deal. Unfortunately that's pretty much what all of eBay is... a good deal. Great!
