Still Itching!

I almost broke down in tears last night right in the middle of Burlington Coat Factory. I still can't get myself to buy anything! I called my sweet, patient, and still quite sick Shelly and she talked me through it. She's right in that once I know the sex it will be MUCH easier! Second, I may not be completely cured until I meet the Little One. Once I'm introduced to our sweet baby and get to know him or her shopping will be MUCH easier and much more fun. Her last opinion is it's Little One's influence on helping me to become more frugal and not spend as much money unnecessarily. She may be right AGAIN! I so love shopping, and do go a little overboard sometimes. Maybe the days I continue to not buy anything I should come home and put that money in a savings account for the Little One. Good news is that there is just SIX days until we know if the Little One is a boy or girl!!!

We went with plan C last night. Shelly's had a BAD headache the past three days. Got to love those hormones! She didn't feel up to seeing the lights or shopping. I brought Italian Village home for dinner. Yummy!!! We watched the Utah Jazz game and I worked on my email of which I'm so far behind. It was a nice Friday night except the Ghost Whisper wasn't on. Shelly did agree, assuming she feels up to it today, that we'll go to Babies R Us, and go see how our friends new house is coming along. I hope her headache is better today. It woke her up several times last night. Anyone have a cure for hormonal headaches???

The Itch!

I'm totally going crazy with the baby shopping itch! I try to shop but still can't find anything I like. We won't know the sex for seven more days. But that's just SEVEN DAYS AWAY!!! Whenever I go to Target, Wally World, Kohl's, etc. I ALWAYS go through the baby sections. EVERYTHING is boy or girl! I can't find anything I like that is unisex. So I still haven't really bought anything for the Little One. BUT, there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Did I mention that hopefully, assuming the Little One cooperates, we'll find out the sex IN SEVEN DAYS!!! We leave for Las Vegas a few days after the Little One has been revealed and we plan to SHOP, SHOP, SHOP! Hopefully we can find bedding we like there. So far we're being VERY picky and haven't fallen in love with anything. Shelly's brother did buy the Bead Board to put up in the Nursery. That's a post Holiday project.

Tonight, assuming the Little One goes easy on Shelly today, we're going to go downtown to see the lights and have dinner. If she's not up to that then plan B, which she doesn't know there's a plan B, is to go to BabiesRUs and look. Maybe start on the gift registry. And if she's not up to that then plan C, stay home, get take-out, and watch the Ghost Whisperer (which we love)!

This weekend is a busy one for both of us, Shelly works this weekend, but at least it's from home, and I have a chore list a MILE long. Cleaning, holiday baking, holiday gift projects, wrapping presents, shopping, and of course, watching a little football!

In parting, let me just give out a shout out for my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers who toppled the Browns last night! Way to go boys!!!

The Belly is Growing!

I'm a bad blogger. It's been quite a few days since I've blogged. It's just a busy time of year. But I do love the holidays!

Shelly's belly has suddenly expanded. She's getting that pregnancy bump! I love that the Little One is finally starting to become more visable!

Shelly's been under the weather today. Just a bad pregnancy day. Naseau, bloating, panic attack, etc. It's hard to see her go through days like this and not be able to do much for her. Hopefully she'll have a better day tomorrow.

Last night I took Tate to the mall to ride the Merry-Go-Round. This time we actually rode it twice! She was pretty excited about that. We also went to see Santa. She wasn't quite as happy with that. I asked if she wanted to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what she wants for Christmas. She said, "No, I'll just sit on your lap and tell you ok." She was not about to sit on a strange guys lap. No way! Then we came home and watched the claymation version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." I love that show. I forgot how much fun music it has in it. My favorite song is definitely "Put one foot in front of the other..." What a classic show. I've got to get in on DVD for the Little One!
