I’ll post a picture of it after I wash it. 

I still need to finish getting stuff for our hospital bags, I have NO clue what Jerry should pack to wear while at the hospital. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  :)

I also want to go and stock up on groceries and stuff like that, So I will be headed to Walmart & Sams this week! 

I have actually been SUPER busy today, I cleaned out Bliss’s soon to be Playroom & My soon to be office & let me tell you what It was AWFUL! I had a whole long truck bed of trash I hauled to the dump! Luckily Jerry helped me take it all to the dump, came home and vacuumed, and mopped 5 or 6 times lost count. I also need to go to Lowes this week to get paint for the playroom & for my office, I want to paint my office in Pink & grey and her playroom pink, but I might change my mind so I’m going to browse at colors.


My Saturday!

Today I worked my booty off working in Bliss’s room. My daddy came and helped me finish the dresser & hung my curtains for me! It was so nice to spend some quality time with my dad, it’s been way to long!! When we well more him than I finished putting the dresser together and hung the curtains, I got busy vacuuming and mopping. I vacuumed the room five times, mopped its six times then got down on my hands and knees with a magic eraser and scrubbed for an hour & half till Jerry came in and freaked out on me and told me to stop, It couldn’t get any cleaner. lol Here’s a couple of pictures.

I finally bought Bliss Her baby book & made her this white TUTU!! :) 

Sorry such a long post, trying to catch up my blogging. 

I also made me a Tumblr Account, So go add me on there if you have one! My Tumblr

Happy Monday!!!

Lazy Saturday!

Today so far, I have done a whole lot of NOTHING!
Yesterday was my twin cousins 7th birthday, I’m still in shock that they are already 7!! Boy does time fly by, it makes me sad cause I’m starting to realize that it will be this way with Bliss too! :(
I was planning on putting the finishing touches on Bliss’s nursery this morning but I have not felt good at all today, still have a horrible headache, pressure and contracting. So Jerry and my Mawmaw insists on me laying down today so I’m definitely not going to argue.
I was really wanting to attend the breastfeeding seminar at babies r us’ but looks like I will be missing out on it sadly.
Ok breastfeeding, its a big deal to me and I am definitely going to try it but I don’t want her directly on my boob, I know I probably sounds crazy, but I’m just not comfortable with it. I would like to just pump into the bottle for her, but how would I do that at the hospital?
I have been doing a lot of reading about breastfeeding but I haven’t came across anything like what I’m wanting to do, so does anyone have any suggestions or can you point me in the right direction?
Who knows I might give in and completely give my boobs over to Bliss but I’m still not in that boat quite yet. Lol
I’m hoping tomorrow, I will be more up for getting stuff done because I would really like to finish everything with her nursery! I know we need to go Lowes to get stuff to finish her closet and corner shelves, but last weekend we went to get the shelves they didn’t have them in black, so fingers crossed they will this weekend, if not I will have to get online and order them.
On a good note Bliss’s hospital outfits will be ready Wednesday for pick up, I ordered her initials and name on two onies a white and light pink. I’m so excited to see how they turn out! :) I also made her a white tutu and bought her baby book!! I was going to start writing in it yesterday but I hate my hand writing so I’m debating on getting scrap books stuff to do it or print stuff off the computer. I guess we will see. Lol
I’m going to get off here & try to take a nap, I don’t see that happening but I’m going to at least give it a try!

Happy Saturday!

Tuesday No bueno!!

Last night wasn't the most pleasant of nights! I went to bed having A LOT ofpressure, cramping like I was on my period, lower back was KILLING me, & wascontracting not bad but I was definitely feeling them. Jerry said I passed out anywhere between 9:30-10:15 moaning and groaning in pain, Lets just say for me to go to sleep that early you know something is wrong. I usually don't go to bed till 11:45-1:30 if not later. Well I woke up at 1:50 & had to use the restroom, I know TMI but there was so much pressure I could hardly pee. So I went back to bed could hardly get back into bed cause our bed is extremely high so I had to wake poor Jerry up to pull me up into bed. I laid down and he rubbed my back and belly for a little while in till, he passed back out. Which I was thankful as ever for even if it was for a short period of time. I tossed and turned in till Jerry's alarm went off for work at 4:30, he left and I couldn't go back to sleep so I got up took a LONG HOT shower then Bliss & I ate so good ole' Honey nut cheerios. Sadly didn't eat as much as I wanted because someone (Bliss) didn't want to eat that. So I took my contraction pills and started getting ready to head to town with my maw maw because we had already planned the day before to take my Pawpaw truck into the tire shop & I need to go by the pool place to get some chemicals. Well when I got up and started moving around I just started feeling worst and worst pressure, cramping, contractions and bad headache. So I left a message with my doctors call center because they don't open till 9, and waited for them to call me back they finally called me back but my doctor was at the hospital, covering another doctors clients while he was vacation. So they told me I definitely need to go to the hospital and get checked out, better to be safe than sorry. So I arrived at the hospital at 10:15, signed in they took me right up and put the contractions & heartbeat machine on me and Bliss to see how we we're doing. She came back in and did an exam and she said I was thinning out and my contractions where getting pretty bad, so they started giving me shots to stop the contractions. My contractions finally slowed back down and they told me I could go home at four if I took my medicine and stayed to STRICT BED REST! I totally agreed and got the heck out of there! LOL 

I came home and let my babies out side to potty and came and laid right down. I am super uncomfortable and still contracting, I feel so bad for little Bliss cause she is steadily moving so I'm figuring that it's stressing her out. So I will definitely be listening to my doctor and lay around A LOT because I'm not ready for her to come out! I feel like I still have so much to do. I have so many questions to ask my doctor and get my self mental prepared for everything, because I am SOOO not ready right now! I feel so bad for saying I'm not ready for her to come out but I'm not but I guess I will really ever be ready for her to come out but I would feel a lot better if I was more settled with everything. 

I did start washing all of her clothes, blankets, burp & wash clothes, & sheets yesterday! There was Three baskets of Pink that need to be washed! Yes! I said THREE!! I know insane huh? I was folding the first basket and I was like Oh my goodness I have a headache and Jerry said probably because of all the pink your staring at. lol He such a goob.
I still have to finish shopping, wish stresses me out because I still have to get:

• Lansinoh Brand Lanolin Breast Cream
• Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads,
• Lansinoh Soothies Gel Pads
• Medela soft shells
