Christmas browsing

Good morning and happy Sunday! I've been on bed rest for the last couple of day due to some major BH contractions. I thought i was going into early labor. Eek!

So with all that time keeping my feet elevated and holding back from running errands and doing chores I've done some online browsing this morning for early stocking stuffers. With the economy going down the drain and money being tight I found some cute ideas that are wallet friendly and sure to make your gift recipient smile.
Oh and these all run under $10!

GIANTmicrobes offers cute stuffed, well, microbes. Cute and inexpensive. This is getting good.



My husband at all costs avoids having to wear ties unless of course the occassion calls for it. In which case falls under weddings, funerals, corporate speaking events. We went out to a nice dinner a few days ago and saw that most of the male patrons of the restaurant were in either ties or collared shirts. My husband wore the shirt I bought him. How sweet of him to do that!
So I thought I'd slip these into his stocking this Christmas so he'd never feel underdressed (which BTW, I'm sure he could care less).




Here's for the traveler in all of us.



Not only is it bright and bold so you can quickly sweep it off the belt in luggage claim but it has also has a friendly note to anyone who should handle it or misclaim it. Let 'em know it's just not worth the hassle.


And finally everyone, and I mean everyone, has a bud smoking/toking friend. I have a couple in mind.


Well I'm off getting my day going with some light errand running and some grocery shopping followed by lunch with my husband. Look out for more stocking stuffer ideas when I return but for now have a wonderful day!

hellloooo daddy!

It's so great to see you again.

Birthday

I've been skimping out on my blogging for the last several weeks and lots has developed since then. We went out on Halloween to support our friend who was DJing at a local bar. I know what many of you must be thinking, "You're pregnant!" "That's ghetto. I've never seen a pregnant woman out late at night at a bar." Yes, yes I hear your concerns but give me a break folks I was dying to get out even if for a bit, even if i felt inadequate, even if i was over 30 weeks pregnant. We went out, husband dressed up in costume and stayed just a little over an hour...and I loved it!

My parent's threw us a baby shower (part deux) the following weekend. I had a fabulous time with family and friends. Thank you to those who made it out that night.
With my maternity leave nearing I will soon have time, lots of it, to post up pictures and frequently blog so keep on the lookout.

But as of today November 18th it's my birthday.
For the last week everyone was asking, "What are you plans for your birthday?"
I haven't really thought about my birthday plans as I've mostly anticipated another birthday in the horizon.
My wonderful husband is taking me out to dinner at Houston's, one of the many steak houses here in Pasadena. This will probably be one of, if not the last, moderately fancy dining experiences my husband and I will have alone before the arrival of our baby.

Speaking of baby-I know I've had baby on the brain- I'm 36 weeks and anxious to meet our little one. We had our bathroom painted today and have yet to set up our co-sleeper (BTW, thank you Emily for our gift). Most of, if not all, of baby's clothes, bedding, and blankets are being washed. Our bags are packed and we'll be brushing up on our breathing techniques in the next few days. With just four weeks to go till baby's birthday I can only imagine what those women felt like who were post term. This waiting is driving me nuts. But baby, give me another week or two and we'll be ready.

We're heading out to dinner shortly and I still have to get my hair done nicely and find some maternity pants I can squeeze into.
