The Dream Crib & Scrapper's Drought is Over!

Ok, now everytime I look at the pic of that crib below, it looks country-style to me. Which is so NOT me. It looked more swanky before or something. Here's the DREAM CRIB!!!!! Target of course. Only $369.99. It's a little over the budget for a crib. Keep in mind we have Nothing for the baby so far besides a few onesies and some blankets that my family gave us. We have so much to buy and it's overwhelming, as many of you out there already know! So I don't think we can really afford to buy the Dream Crib :( but we'll see...

I actually scrapped last night and tonight! I got on the computer to do a little journaling and decided while I was here, I just might as well check my e-mail. and my blog. and a few other blogs I stalk. and listen to some music. I'll get to the journaling sooner or later. I just got 5 rolls of film back from Wal-Mart tonight! (since I'm living the non-digi life--STILL!) So I finally have subect matter to scrap! That is so unlike me--I usually get my pics developed immediately and scrap them even faster. But as you know, I have pregnancy mind right now. Which means: overwhelmed, procrastinating, should be cleaning and organizing before the baby comes, sleepy, worn-out, etc, etc. Oh wait--I felt like that Before I was pregnant!

I scrapped our local Cystic Fibrosis 5K Walk that I have participated in for the last 5 years and this year was on the committee that organized it. Our good friend's daughter has CF--you should check out the website--it's more common than you think. Anyway, the layout turned out pretty cute. Then last night (before I had the 5 rolls of pics) I scrapped some oldies--my sister's Senior Prom! She's now 32. I love how it turned out. Wish I could post, but don't really know how. I'll learn that one of these days and then I can post on 2Peas and my blog. hmmm--I'm way behind on that! I'm kind-of self taught on the computer. Anyway, guess I'll get that journaling done. Uh--can I just say--HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!! 2006!!!!!! We're going to our friend's for a party. I ought to have a lot of fun watching everyone have fun while I drink Welch's sparkling grape non-alcoholic stuff. (it's really good though!) At least one other friend is also pregnant. Goodbye 2005!!!!!!!!!!

Listen to Your Heart (cheesy song title, title) AKA Baby Stuff!

The crib I like--sans the fuggly country blanket in the pic! It's not my "dream crib" but that one is just too pricey! This one does convert into a daybed for toddlers and a regular bed for kids. Smart investment, I think.

This is the girl bedding I like at Target.com. It's called "Babylicious" heehee

Boy version and girl version. Like the girl version better in this pattern. It's not that boyish...


Yesterday I got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time!! It was pretty awesome, I must say, minus the whole exam part. I better get used to that, though! ugg. The week of Valentine's day is when we have the Ultrasound and find out the sex! He/She better not even think of crossing his/her legs!! My Scraproom-soon-to-be-Nursery is pinker than pink! We're talkin' Pepto, people. We must know whether we have to paint or not. Even if it's a girl, I'll want to add some green--that pink & green combo is so cute right now. The bedding above from Target would be really spunky.

Christmas is 9 days away!! 9!!! Holy crap! We have soo many gifts to still buy. We're gonna shop til we drop this weekend and fight the crowds of other last-minute people. I can't stand those people and now I am one. (eating my words)
Gotta go shower and think about sleeping. Tomorrow is Friday AND payday--woohoo!
Oh--And I have decided to take that job at work. Kinda excited about it. and scared.
Bye!

Soooo far behind!!!

I know, I know. I have been the world's worst blogger lately! Just give me some sympathy--I'm 11 weeks preggo (as of today!) and it's Christmastime! We all know how draining that is! I'm so far behind on buying presents that's it's almost depressing. Our tree has 4 gifts under it and it's 2 weeks til Christmas! Next week we are going to buy some of those Visa gift cards for Wayne's family, so that will take care of a bunch of gifts. I have no ideas for anyone else--of things that we can afford, that is. Wish me luck...
The coolest thing happened this Sat. night. I work at a Women's Hospital and a lady I work with (she's the Nursery Supervisor and I'm also I'm friends with her) called me at home and asked me if I would be interested in being the Nursery Unit Secretary! The position is going to be open on Monday. I'm so flattered and it's my chance to get out of Materials, but then the jobs is kinda hairy. and I will be around screaming babies all day. (although they are adorable!) I'm sure you get used to that and tune them out. So, I'm considering it and I'm going to talk to her tomorrow more about it and try to make up my mind. I also would not have to lift heavy boxes while I'm pregnant--big plus. Ok--gotta go shower and watch the Survivor finale!!! Go Steph!!!
