Get it. Got it. Done.

Well, as per Saturday's post, I did in fact accomplish quite a bit. Not as much as I wanted to, but quite a bit nonetheless =)

I went to all of the stores I wanted to go to except Winn-Dixie, which I ended up going to on Sunday. I ended up getting all of the things I wanted to get, plus a couple of extra, inexpensive knick-knacks. By 12:30, I was home and ready for lunch. Once I grubbed and let it digest, I began my cleaning duties but was only able to do both bathrooms and sweep and mop the kitchen floor =\ Apparently, cleaning and pregnancy don't ALWAYS work hand in hand. Sucks, but I did what I could. After all of the cleaning and resting in between, I jumped in the shower at about 6pm so that I could at least be showered and made-up by the time the Mr. got home from work so we could head out for my friend's birthday shindig.

We ended up having a great time at Bongos and left at about 12:30. We really had no choice. They started playing house music and everybody around us started jumping a bit aggressively. The hubs and I looked at eachother and non-verbally suggested, "Let's get outta here." Gotta protect the possible athletic investment in my belly =)

On Sunday, we took the most exciting first step in nursery preparation....we painted the room! =) We painted it a baby blue that is actually called Sapphireberry by BEHR. I'll take pics of the entire room when it's finally set up so you can share in the excitement with us =)

**sniff sniff**

Do you know what kind of heaven I am in this morning?!?!?

The cleaning lady for our office has come in and started her twice-a-week cleaning ritual. The smell of Fabuloso and Pine Sol is invading my senses and causing me to enter an indescribable euphoria.

Ahhhh.....delish!

Ice, Cleaning Supplies, and Stretchie Pants

I know I haven't posted on here in a while. So sue me =P

If you had any idea whatsoever of what I've been going through within the past twelve months, then you would understand...completely! =)

Let's see. The easiest way to update you? Within the past twelve months I have had surgery, gotten pregnant, gotten engaged, and gotten married (and yes, in that exact order!) However, the only one of the four that is ever prominent in my everyday life would be #2. The fact that I am pregnant is playing such a big role in my life that to explain it, I would need about a week to simply come up with the ROUGH draft of what I would say. I now understand when women say that you no longer think or worry about yourself; instead, it is all for the baby.

I am about 7 1/2 months along and I must say, it has been an interesting ride. I haven't had any "unusual" cravings, per se. The only slight craving I have had is sweet and salty at the same time, but I used to crave that BEFORE I was pregnant so I'm not thinking that it actually counts. As of late, I have had an obsession with the smell of cleaning supplies. Anything and everything that involves cleaning is something I have become infatuated with. The smell of Pine Sol, toilet bowl cleaner, Windex, Fabuloso, etc. etc. etc. It all smells SO delicious to me! So much so that I look forward to the cleaning lady coming to the office just as I look forward to a 7 day cruise!!!

I have also found comfort in chewing ice. No water. No soda. Nothing to accompany the ice. Just. Plain. Ice. Yum! And if it's crushed, EVEN better!

Part of the title of this blog is Stretchie Pants... I have no obsession with them, but they sure are comfortable when your belly is growing by the day! So I decided they deserved some homage in the title.

Well, seeing as I can't post that much right at the moment (since I am at work) I will post some more later today.
