I SPLURGED!!!

Okay if you have been reading all of my post then you would know that we have had a crib Situation!!! OKAY soo I wanted a 4 poster White Crib After I fell in love with the Disney Princess crib at Baby's R US. OKAY I just didn't know if I could really bring myself the thrift store Queen too just spend that Kind of Money on a crib. Soo I saw one at Kmart the princess crib it was nice not as cute!! Again I dont know WHY 4 poster appealed to me something in life are just taste and preference and obviously with the lack of 4 poster cribs I can only assume I'm the only person who adores them.

Well then that started the I found a 4 poster crib on craigslist. OMG lessons I learned !!!
#1 I will NEVER trust someone to deliver something to me it just pigeon holds you into a purchase
#2 drop side cribs cannot be made stationary (not as simple as we thought)
#3 drop side cribs are tall and not LOW enough to be able to reach in for the average 5,4 woman and since I dont wanna chunk the kid in the crib YEAH  but when I read about it sounded like a solution
#4 I didn't get all of the parts and if you dont know what all of the parts are do NOT assume they included them all Because when you assume You know
#5 if your Husband is Generally not into DIY your pregnancy Will NOT make him more interested in DIY

On the plus side I didn't spend that much on this lesson I will lick my wounds and move on. Even though I really DID fall in love with this crib now I was just Annoyed upset devastated and OH 30 some odd weeks pregnant. Which is just not doing anything for my sanity and if you know how much I have kicked myself in the pants over this decisions trying to save a buck just was NOT WORTH IT !!!

Seeing how I have done SOO GOOD with everything else her dresser, changing table, swing, bouncer, highchair, etc etc etc I decided it's my first CHILD its my LIttle Girl I'm going to SPLURGE !!! I took the dive and we bought the Disney Princess Crib from BABIES R us It really is gorgeous I even bought the RAILS sooo it can be her big girl bed! If I'm lucky she will love it as much as I do !! and it will last her a very long time and spending a good money on furniture . I think is a good investment. I think you know you a parent when you kids furniture cost more then your own.

Now I have to wait for it to get here Then  I will take a picture!! so What have we learned even though I hate giving into Corporate america and there needs too pinch ever penny drop side cribs turned stationary is not SIMPLE Even with the kit the rails are TOO high To use

I Must remain Calm.....

I'm like the opposite of calm  in fact I would deem I'm what we could call a Type A control freak to a Certain Extent. Lately People are getting on my nerves. Being pregnant is Also Getting on my nerves Now keep in mind I love my child... I MEAN LOVE HER...However, I'm starting to realize 40 weeks is a LONG LONG LONG TIME. I mention my restlessness with being pregnant and some people were like you are being selfish and you dont want to be FAT. OMG really at this point the Fat issue isn't even remotely what is bothering me I could care less. Things about pregnancy that are bothering me and I will rant this is my blog. if you are a control freak being pregnant is kinda like the opposite of being in control in fact welcome to the Wild ride that is being pregnant. Nothing you will ever read, no matter what anyone will ever tell you , Nothing will prepare you for being pregnant because everyone Every Ones Pregnancy experience is Different.I'm 29 weeks today I still have 11 more weeks to go and its just tiring. I'm tired, I'm cranky, I'm not in the mood anymore. My husband is stressing me out I mean thank god he is here but I'm just Cranky . I just can't get calm I'm always anxious I'm anxious about everything. I'm anxious about her nursery, I'm anxious about the blood thing, I'm anxious about all the dr. appointments. I'm anxious with my blood pressure being High. which is kinda a catch 22 cause its stresses me out but techincally to bring it down I need to be calm and Im not calm because I have high Blood Pressure.

I guess in the end Im generally just uncomfortable now me I'm a picture of Health before being pregnant I never ever had back pain. My feet never had been swollen. I Rarely if ever had a head ache. Never had heartburn. ohh slightly vain I got pregnancy ACNE um I didn't have that when I was a teenager. Like I feel Like every pregnancy symptom under the SUN I have had

Well My party Was mentioned in the NY TIMES !!! I can't wait too see the paper tomorrow


Indeed, Brooke Flatt, 24, sent out invitations on Facebook to the gender-reveal party she gave in February at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey, where she lives with her husband, Airman First Class Bryan Flatt, 26.
“It was an excuse to throw a party,” said Ms. Flatt, who streamed the event live on Ustream for relatives in Mississippi. “We had cocktail food and I gave out cards for people to guess the weight, hair color and eye color for me to put in a scrapbook.”
The cake, which turned out to have pink icing between the layers, was decorated on the outside with bumblebees and the message: “What will it bee?”



A version of this article appeared in print on April 8, 2012, on page ST1 of the New York edition with the headline: A Boy or Girl? Cut the Cake.



Its soo Cool To be written about :) Seriously Maybe I'm like too excited about it but I mean OKAY So rarely Do cool things Happen to me. This Is SOO Going in the baby Scrap book. Julia will always know her mom is super cool and super trendy . :)

Pregnancy Yogurt Facial

Okay Soo I realize this is going to sound a little Odd but sure I'll throw this one out there. I have had some severe pregnancy Acne. Pregnancy GLOW My Rear unless they were talking about red glow. Soooo any whom . Talk to my Doctor who was seriously Unhelpful. She told my I could use Salicic Acid the standard Zit be gone creams on the market. My thought was kinda Hey thank you I obviously been washing my face with Mud but now that you tell me to use clearisil i'm sure that will help!! Heads up I have been changing my facial Regime lately trying to find something Magical. Cause it wasn't just blemishes it was some like purple scarring like my skin looking super irritated and I know I need something SOOTHING !! well in my website search I Looked for Pregnancy Acne cream cause I have pregnancy pimples this is NOT standard for me and I never had zits in high school. Belli pregnancy Acne wash is about OHHHH 25 dollars for a tube !! I would have to order it online cause the standard CVS , WalGreens,  Rite aid in my area do not carry this supposedly Magical Cure. however what did they say was the Magical CURE!! Lactic Acid was the main ingredient. Well that sounds familiar Lactic Acid, lactic Acid, does anything else have lactic acid in it. Google ..... sour milk or yogurt has lactic acid in it!!! Okay I'm totally down to spend a dollar on some all natural yogurt and see what happens!! Well I took a cold spoonful of that stuff and Rubbed it between my fingers. Then I massaged into my face I was a little scared but I think you could go generously. but always test a small little bit of skin with any new product my motto. soo I woke up my skin is not perfect but seems a lot less irritated. I will tell you in about a week.
