Blogging for the hell of it

I've had some unwelcomed visitors the past few days. Unfortunately, I think they'll be staying forever. Yes, I have developed stretch marks. Though they are small right now, I have no doubt that they will streeeeetch out to even bigger, more unsightly, hideous things. Oh, well, I used the Palmer's lotion, but I guess if you're gonna get 'em, you're gonna get 'em. There's no way around it. So that means that so far swollen feet and stretch marks have been the big problems of my pregnancy. And I'm into my seventh month now, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining. I didn't have any morning sickness and I haven't been extremely hormonal. And that's not just coming from me. I even asked my husband. He said I was worse when I was PMSing. I would get all weepy and stuff. Actually, add to my list of low points numbness in my fingers. I hadn't really thought about it or attributed it to pregnancy until I read Kelly's blog about the same thing. It probably is carpal tunnel because the numbness is constrained to all fingers but my pinky. So far it's not unbearable, so I hope it doesn't get any worse. I guess being all giant and pregnant makes it hard to do many things and I usually don't even bother to shave my legs anymore. If anything, I'll shave the bottom parts of my legs because I'm usually wearing capri pants. Getting up from the couch is also getting difficult.

Yesterday Robert put up Sofia's crib! It didn't take him too long and I was very happy with it, considering all the crib drama we had. There was that fiasco with the Target crib we ordered and our transaction getting screwed up. Then we ordered one from a baby furniture store in Houston that we really loved. They told us it would take us 4 to 12 weeks for delivery. A few weeks after we paid for it, they called me to tell me the crib was discontinued and they wouldn't be able to fulfill our order. Sucks! They offered to knock some off the price of the floor model in the store. That's what we decided to go with. The floor model. It was in really good condition, so we went ahead and got it. I'm happy we decided that because we probably would have been waiting forever had we ordered a different one.
Anyway, we purchased the matching chest of drawers too and Robert went ahead and bought a good mattress from the store. It was weird, after the crib was put together we just started pulling everything we needed to fix all the bedding. We already had everything. All the bedding including a comforter, mattress pad, sheet, mobile for the crib and tons of other stuff. We even have the cute little pooh lamp to put on top of the chest of drawers. I can't believe how just two weeks ago we had nothing and now we have most of what we need. I've also started consolidating the shower gifts into their respective categories. You know, bath stuff, clothes, shoes, etc. I'm a dork. It's taking me a while to do it. I just wanted to keep everything in the gift bags and keep looking at the stuff. I got over it, when I realized there would be no room in our baby's room if I left everything in their original gift bags.

So I'm planning to watch the Spurs game 5 tonight in hopes that they can redeem themselves after their disgraceful loss to the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. They didn't just lose. It was a blowout! It was an embarrassment. The series is 2-2, so whoever wins tonight is a big deal.

I called my dad to wish him a Happy Father's Day. All my family was there at my parents' house. I miss them. I hope I don't turn into a big wah wah baby once my baby is born. One of my friends said when she had her baby she just wanted her mom all the time. That would suck. Especially since my mom doesn't know how to drive (that's right -- she never learned to drive) and my dad has all these other issues and hates driving. And my dad refuses to fly. Go figure.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

This blogging for the hell of it business is making me tired. I think I'm going to take a nap now.
