Saturday with Vega, The Girls, and a Big Belly

I must say...getting around with a big belly sure is hard!  Who would have thunk?  I mean having a stomach is so much different than having a baby belly.  Like literally...put a soccer ball under your shirt and add some pound-age and that's kinda what it's like.  It's weird not to be able to lean forward and touch my feet.  And the thing is...most women keep telling me that I'm small for 7 months.  Like, I just couldn't imagine that turning from one side to the other in bed would actually take effort.  I thought it just would be similar to what it feels like the evening after Thanksgiving dinner, LOL...but apparently I'm way wrong!  So I'm going to have to post pictures soon....mom took some of me recently but I have to get them from her.  Until then here is one I tried to take myself from a top view haha

And here are a couple pictures of our bedding for the nursery :)  I LOVE it!!  I got it from Pottery Barn Kids!  I can't wait until the nursery is done!

So this morning I woke up and talked to my Waffles.  Which he informed me that he actually reads my blog.  Once again...who would have thunk?  So I decided that I must update it if he actually reads it :)  So here I am.  It's funny how even if we are both tired and don't have much to say....just seeing his face makes me feel good.  I mean people don't realize until they have gone through a deployment how much of their relationship is words/talking and how much of it is just BEING with that person and touching and gestures.  When you go through a deployment and your relationship is mostly conversations over the phone....so you don't have that ability to just lay next to the one that you love and feel their warmth, hold their hand, give a kiss to say I love you.  When you're separated....you want to give a kiss so you say "I Love You", you want to hold their hand so you say "I Love You", you want to rub your foot against their foot so you say "I Love You", you want to look into their eyes and just smile so you say "I Love You".  That is sort of what it's like.  That or you say "I want to kiss you" rather than feeling your loved ones lips, or "I want to hold your hand" rather than actually feeling the touch of a warm embrace, or "I want to just gaze into your eyes" rather than seeing the actual big brown speckles of his eyes.  Eyes say so much, they say I love you, I care for you, I want to be with you forever, I'll keep you safe....ect....eyes can say SO much....but just saying I want to look in your eyes just doesn't cut the real thing.

Anyways....so after I talked to my husband over Skype, I took the Vegabear with me to run some errands.  I first went to the post office to send Cody's care package.  I guess mainly bc he begged me to actually send it.  What?  No one loves standing in line at the post office...and there is ALWAYS a line.  So then after that I went to Macys and got a cute pair of "trendy" shoes for $20.  I never have cute shoes...so hopefully they actually are cute lol.  I like that they are glittery and have a cute bow!

Then after that I went to Michaels and got my mom a gift card for mother's day...which she will LOVE!!  And while I was there I also got these wooden blocks to make Norah a name plate for her nursery.  This is what I saw on etsy.com:

So...if you zoom up close...what she did was used the cricut to cut out paper for each of the letters and used scrapbook paper for the background and used the cricut to cut out cute flowers and shapes.  It was being sold for $12 a letter....plus $2.75 for each ribbon and $.50 for each nail cover.  I found the same wooden plates for 50 CENTS a piece....so I just saved myself about 10 per letter...so about $50 total not including shipping!  HOLLA!!  Super super excited!!!  I'm planning on working on Norah's during the girls scrapbooking weekend coming up!  I can't wait!!!!

So then after Michaels I went to Off Broadway Shoes and got another pair of shoes (I am not a shoe person...so the fact that I bought 2 pair today says that it was getting pathetic haha).  Then I went home...and Vega was WIPED out.  She didn't even do anything but sit in the car but apparently it was enough!  She was zonked for a couple hours.  Then I headed off to meet with Crystal, Val, Elise, Stephanie and Ashleigh for a girls night.  We went to Buffalo Wild Wings, then to Sweet Frogs (fat free frozen yogurt).  I had never been to Sweet Frogs....and it totally rocked my world!  It was soooo yummy!!  After that we went and saw "Something Barrowed" and it was totally cute!!  I've been to a lot of chick flicks this year that have been HUGE disappointments....but this one made me laugh out loud multiple times and made me cry and made me feel good.  I just loved it!   

So now I'm back...making this super huge blog post since it's been so long.  So I'll just update you on the last month based on cell phone pictures haha...So the first picture is of my Crack.  Literally, I broke down, I couldn't help it....I hadn't had one in 7 months...but I had to do it.  I'm allowed to have a little caffine but I never do just so it's easier to not have any and for the health of my baby.  But I couldn't resist my crack.  So here it is:

And here are a couple pictures of Vega-bear aka Vega-monster when she's being a holy terror :o) 

 This was Vega laying on the bed while I was "trying" to make it.  I was unsuccessful as seen by the next picture!

You see the fitted sheet pulled over her legs/paws?  She refused to move HAHA...it made me laugh so hard because it didn't look like she had legs...just a body.  This is vegabear minus legs!

 This is Vega-monster who apparently pulled a whole patch of grass out by the roots...THEN brought it into the house!

 This is Vegabear with a bunch of leaves that she had in her mouth!  Why?  Just because it can fit in her mouth.  You should have seen her face when she tried to drop it and pick it back up...they scattered and she was like "WTF". 

And this is obviously a Vega-Monster moment.   I believe this is either my DSM book or my pregnancy book!

 This is the bridal towel cake I made for my best friend Katelyn.  I made it for her bridal shower a couple weekends ago.  I had fun making it and I think I could make it cuter with more time.  This was my 1st one so I was proud that it kinda turned out right.  Next one I will try to get smaller kitchen utensils.  And do a couple other things different. 

And these were in the room when I wen to my doctors office.  At first I was like eww...that is so disgusting, CONDOMS not WRAPPED?  I was like who would put that on their whoohoo without it being wrapped.  It was not until a few minutes of me freaking out that I realized that it was a probe condom LOL...that made a little more sense haha.

Anyways I'm sooo tired.  I'm going to bed!!  PS.  Norah has been kicking like crazy as I've been typing this!!  She's already adorable.  She's got my heart!  Night Night everyone!!
