Baby Shower Pics!

The YUMMY YUMMY food on my plate & the M&M's that I couldn't keep my hands off.. (P.S. Normally, I would NOT like M&M's or anything chocolate for that matter... Weird, I know.)

This is just ONE picture of me opening gifts.. This is a really cool play fort thing (that I WANT TO PLAY WITH).. I looked really dumb in most of the pics because of that strand of hair in the middle of my head, but oh well!)
This is the pile of gifts! : )


Just want to say that I had a REALLY good time @ the shower. The food was yummy, everyone was REALLY NICE and very generous. Eric and I are SO grateful for all the loving people in our life and for all the help people have given to us. THANK YOU JOLYNN for such a beautiful shower!!! : )

Random bored thoughts...

AHHH! Eric is gone forEVERRR today : (
He has to work from 10-9 today. He works 11 hours 5 days a week, but 10-9 is just a CRAP shift. Doesn't let him do anything except sleep. And he has to do it again tomorrow.
I've already ran a bunch of errands (Office Max, Motherhood Maternity, Walmart), so I feel like I am out of things to do. I do have to pack up and clean the bathroom today though. And hopefully my brother or dad will let me come use their printer, so I can do some crafty crafts tonight when I'm REALLY starting to get bored.
Although it IS already 2.. so only 7 more hours of boredom.

But on a better note, SUNDAY is the 2nd Baby Shower out in Mt. Horeb!! I am SO excited! I know Jolynn is making something with radishes for me and I just love that! Because I LOVE radishes! Also, I am very excited to meet some of Eric's relatives, but also nervous because I can be pretty shy at first.

Also excited because I hear there is some Angelic bowling going down on Sunday night???

ALSO SO FREAKING EXCITED BECAUSE ON MONDAY & TUESDAY WE ARE MOVING INTO OUR NEW APARTMENT!!! I can't help move stuff that much and I was worried, but Eric said they would move the kitchen & bathroom stuff first, so I have SOMETHING to do!
Tuesday should be nice because it will be just Eric & I in the apartment putting things together and figuring out where we want things and whatnot.. and it should be relaxing and nice to do together.

Oh yeah, I was approved to get WIC so we are very excited because we get eggs and milk (a lot) and cheese and cereal for FREE every month! WOOHOO! I am still slightly stressed about the insurance hoopla but I think we've got it mostly figured out.. I just NEED to hear from BadgerCare about the baby and I need to figure out what insurance I am going to get.. I REALLY don't want to have to switch doctors!!!

Well... I am going to go do some things around the duplex for a while... I am going to post another belly pic later today. I am almost 36 weeks! Today starts the countdown of only 30 more days!

Sorry if this is long and boringgggg! : )

Happy Birthday Lil Bro!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIM!
Today is my lil bro's birthday. Well, barely little.. we are now officially the same age until 8.8! I can't believe he's 19! : )

Appropriate?

Does my face honestly think it's cool to blow up? Does pregnancy honestly think that expanding the size of my face is going to make me glow? PSSSH!

BABY SHOWER!

YESTERDAY was the 1st Baby Shower @ my mom's house!!! : )
It was soooooooo much fun and I am SO GLAD that so many of my amazing friends were able to make it! I love you girls!!! *kisses* Thank you so much!

I received SO many of the things that I REALLY wanted, so that makes me super happy! I cannot wait until we move into our new apartment on the 27th so I can start making this baby's home happen! I am so grateful that so many people were so, so generous.. I don't even know how to put my gratitude into words, except to say THANK YOU!

Well, today begins Eric's VERY long work week, 11 hours/day for 7 days.. So that means I have to find something to do with myself.
I am going to start thank you notes & one awesome craft project today (so nervous to mess up!). I will probably lay outside for a little while, but not too long because I don't want to get burnt!

Tomorrow, I have an appointment in the morning, but then I am DEFINITELY setting up the pool (come over ladies, seriously!)

Well, *yawn* I am so sleepy, who knew baby showers could be so exhausting?! Plus, my internal alarm decided 7am was a good time to wake up today? IDK.

I will post some pictures when I can later. I had Eric's camera and we don't have a cord for it? BOO. But I think Jolynn took some cute pictures too. I don't have a lot, so if you have some, send them to me and I'll post them here too! : )

So much spare time...

So now that I am unemployed (so sad to say), I have a ridiculous amount of time to spare. I know, I know, I was only working about 20 ours per week to begin with and I complained about having to go to work all the time, but now that I think about it, those 20 hours were absolute bliss compared to the boredom I encounter day by day.

Good thing we are moving soon (probably the 27th), so at least I've got plenty of packing & cleaning to do. Also, I have decided to take up a hobby.. my new hobby is CRAFTS! : ) Michael's Craft Store is my new favorite place.. I've got two really cute ones in the making, but they are secrets.. sorry! Everyone will get to enjoy them soon enough.

Once we move, I will pretty much be responsible for putting the apartment and the baby's room together, because Eric will be at work a lot. It will of course, be beautiful! ; )

Don't get me wrong though, I still have a ridiculous amount of time on my hands, even between the crafts and the cleaning and everything. Good thing I've got the WWW!

So sad...

Wisconsin State Journal article

The article seems to have some falsified information in it, but at least it was given some respect in the newspaper.. You can read all the crazy comments too.. Eric posted one, try to guess which one!
