Did some baby & mom car browsing/shopping yesterday (we're looking at SUV's) and it really makes me feel a little less overwhelmed - gettin' some stuff done before the Little Miss comes along! Any tips on where to get wall decals for a room? I've found some great websites that sell what I want for her room, but it's pretty pricey - so I think I'll make that my very last resort... We went to Hobby Lobby and checked Target out when we were there - but they didn't really have what I was looking for. Let me know if any of you room-decorators out there know of a good place.

    check out etsy.com . I got a very cute chandelier wall decal for Maddie's room for $25.

    Target.com has more of them than the actual stores do.

HI

at 02/28/10 10:59AM
In HI still waking up pretty early trying to get used to the time change - or maybe it's just being preggers, not too sure... We've had a great time so far - had to evacuate our room to the hallways yesterday for an hour and a half to wait out the the tsunami- which never hit this island. It was pretty interesting. Our day wasn't a total loss, though. We had an awesome breakfast at one of the resort restaurants in the am, and still made it to the Dole Plantation (yummy pineapple float) later on and then to a favorite restaurant James found years ago when here for work that we enjoy hitting once or twice while here. Then a nice time shopping here at the resort and a talk/sit on the beach while the moon reflected off the ocean - beautiful! You just can't capture that in a picture.

We've felt baby girl move from the outside like crazy starting on Thu. early morning and we could see her kick, too - it's way amazing! She's been a mover and shaker ever since - she doesn't let me sleep completely through the night anymore, but that's ok. I should get used to it, right? So far this pregnant thing is pretty cool - most of it. ;)

Well, I hope y'all are having a great Lord's day - we have a couple of hours before we start ours - and James wakes up...

Love and Hugs!

    Yay for feeling the baby move from the outside! I bet James was excited to be able to feel the movement :) And glad nothing serious came from the tsunami where you are staying.

    It's fun when they start moving and your hubby can finally feel it. The best is when it's your 2nd or 3rd (or more!!) pregnancy and your other children can feel it. With Malachi's pregnancy, he would kick Maleia while she was sitting on my lap and church and whenever he would do that she would start to pat my tummy and tell him to be nice. It was fun!!!

sleeping issues

at 02/23/10 5:41AM *
My body & baby want me to get up now around 4ish every morning - at least I'm falling asleep earlier at night - 10pm. I just started feeling some actual kicking from baby girl on Sunday, and quite a bit last night where James could even feel it - too neat. It's such an amazing thing!

We're getting packed and ready for our babymoon in HI - flying out super early in the a.m. tomorrow. We're all ready to get out of this 30/40 degree weather and get in some nice, sunny 70's for a week. Our travel day tomorrow is ridiculously long, with long layovers and obviously long flights which will not be too fun (at least we got all exit seats), but arriving at our resort around 5pm up on the north shore will make it all worth it! Can't wait! :)

Hope everyone's doing well and pulling themselves through this seemingly long winter. Aloha!

    I have to say that I'm a little surprised and disappointed that it isn't Superman-related. :)

Bring on the PINK!

at 02/13/10 10:03AM
It's a GIRL!! :)
  • the_sexy_mosher
    I find it SOOO sexist that you would force pink on your new born. Why don't you let your own child think for herself? I would THINK a teacher would already know the repercussions of being such oppressive parenting!
