Time For A Change

The rest of the weekend

Last night we went to see Monster Trucks with TJ, Matt, Amy, Scott, Garrett and his cousin Cameron (sp?)... We had some good seats and it was pretty fun... I was tired by 9:00 though!! Matt fell asleep for a little while (he was lucky and had earplugs in) but then was wide awake to see one of his favorites... "Graver" (a.k.a. Gravedigger!!) steal the show at the end. That was pretty cool. He's Chad's favorite too. ;o)

So, today we tried to sleep in a little but Mel (our 5 month old puppy) wouldn't let us. We eventually got up and going... I headed to the mall and Chad worked on his bug. He got his new motor in today!! (Way to go babe!!) I found a few shirts at Motherhood Maternity but nothing special... internet shopping will be my next route... atleast for a while.

All of the snowbirds are here for the winter and they seem to be EVERYWHERE that Chad and I go. We've got a million retirement places near us so there's always a slow driver or a slow person walking in front of you... it gets (A LITTLE) frustrating. (Especially when you're moody like me!!) I can't tell you how many accidents we've almost been in within the last few months... You'll have to ask Chad about his encounter with a snowbird at the grocery store... it's quite the story.

Enough for now... it's bedtime!!

I think I jinxed myself...

So as the week went on, my pants got a little more snug and EVERYTHING has been feeling uncomfortable. I feel like I gained 5 pounds since my last post. (Go figure!!) Mid-week, I went to Target to check out their maternity clothes... I've heard from quite a few people that they have some cute stuff, and they do if you wore a size two before you got pregnant (which I definately wasn't). I actually went to two different Targets to see what they had and didn't find much. They were out of my size in everything. So, I'm avoiding Target for a little while.

I heard from someone else yesterday that JC Penney's had some cute stuff and at that point, I didn't really want anymore advise on where to shop, I was annoyed with the whole Target thing. BUT I don't want to spend a ton of money so I figured I'd check it out. Chad went with me. ;o) The outcome: 7 pairs of pants and 2 shirts for just over $100... AND THEY ARE CUTE TOO!! Smokin' deal if you ask me... some of the pants were only $7/pair!! YAY for us!!

Tomorrow I'm headed to Motherhood Maternity to find more shirts... I'll keep you posted.

So, here's a tip: if you're newly pregnant... start at JC Penneys, unless you're a size two, and you probably won't be as frustrated. ;op

Weight

For those of you who haven't seen me for a while and keep asking me... NO, I'm not wearing maternity clothes yet and NO, I haven't gained weight YET (ahem... knock on wood...). I think people get excited when they talk to a pregnant lady... it makes them feel good that the pregnant lady has gained weight and they haven't. Well, it's because you don't have A BABY growing inside of you!! So, keep those mean thoughts out of your heads... my plan is to be skinny like Bri after I have the baby!! ;o)

Ahhh... some relief

So, it was an eventful weekend. Well, kind of.

We sold our camper... a couple drove down here from Montana to pick it up. YAY!!

One of our tv's has been on the fritz for a while so OF COURSE, we had to get a 42" Plasma. I'm actually pretty excited about it... it takes up a lot less room than our other one did.

We also ordered a new bed. That's been on the fritz for a while too. Don't get me wrong, I like to snuggle... but I don't want to roll into Chad everytime I move!!

Then today, we went on a mission to find me a pair of sweatpants. I was in need of something comfy to wear. I bought some that are way too big for me now but we both knew that I would be growing into them soon. Let me tell ya, tonight when I put on my big, baggy, really unattractive sweatpants, I was more happy to have those than the new tv and bed!! They are the most comfortable thing I've ever worn. If only I could wear them all day... everyday... ahhh...
