Half Baked! 20/20

So today marks to halfway mark. Wahoo! Now I feel more on the countdown than the count up, lol. I have tried to stay away from the camera best I could, but I figure baby Claire might want to know what her Momma looked like pregnant with her so I present you with the fluffier side of me!

As Eric told me "you look like you might be pregnant". Thanks honey I might be.

We ordered baby Claire's furniture today! YAY! Now she won't have to sleep on the floor, lol. Unfortunatley it will be about 10 weeks before it comes in. The furniture is made in Chile and thanks to the earthquake it will be awhile. We figured for time's sake we better order it and not stress in the end. It also gives dear Eric sometime to get the room painted and ready. He has big ideas for our little girl's room. He makes me so proud wanting his daughter's room to be the best. Here is baby girl's crib! We also ordered the double dresser minus the hutch.

Dog Week

So this week has been dog week. I'm taking care of 4 extra dogs. Only one extra at my house and 3 at another. I love doggys they are babies too. The only bad thing about taking care of 4 extra dogs for an entire week is you start to get attached and you know when the week is over you won't get to love on them everyday. I stress about them like they are my own. Makes for an entertaining week, but nothing like 4 extra babies to be excited to see you at the end of a crappy day!

Baby Claire is moving and growing. How I love feeling her move. The movement isn't consistent yet, but every few days when I feel those little tap taps and pop corn feelings I give her little pep talks to keep doing it! Shamefully I admit I eat a lot of Jolly Ranchers because when I do I feel her for a little longer. She is going to be born addicted to sugar like her Momma!

Looonnnggg Weeeeekkk

I've been having some serious allergy sinus issues which has made for a very long week and it's only halfway over. Can't breathe, can't hear, can't stop sneezing ugh. I told Eric if I could just chop my head off I would feel fine. I'm thankful that I havn't gotten icky all over, but the head thing really stinks. Luckily it's getting better, but nothing sounds good to eat. Which for me is strange because I usually will eat anything put in front of me, lol. Do not fear however ice cream still tastes good, lol which should tell you I'm gonna live.

Another note in the strange happenings of our house the butter is missing! Neither of us can figure out where in the world it might have gone. I've checked the freezer, the pantry, and the trash. I have no idea where my pregnant brain might have put it!

Target

So Monday night we went and registered at Target. I know 17 weeks is still a little early, but I got a free $20 gift card for registering before the 15th. Those who know me know that I can't pass up free money! As many had predicted for us we were LOST at registering. Half of the stuff we had no idea if we needed it or what it was. We will register at Babies R Us at some point and that trip I will exempt Eric from and take some dear girlfriends who are Moms and can point me in the right direction. In the meantime I know the Target registry needs some major cleaning up! Especially since my husband when clicking crazy with the gun. Before we finished we needed to pick up a loaf of bread as we picked up the loaf of bread my dear Eric discovered his favorite BBQ sauce and decided he needed to register for 3 bottles of that. Lovely Eric just lovely.

I *think* I have felt Claire moving a few times! It happens so quickly and only feels like 2 or 3 popcorns have popped that I'm sometimes not sure if I imagined it. I'm pretty sure it's her because it usually happens after a little bit of sugar. I can't wait until I feel her all the time. More than that I can't wait until she is her to play and snuggle with!
