Peacefulness....For Now...

You know, it's very rare that I ever buy anything for me. I get such a high from buying for Hannah or Abel that buying for me, makes me feel guilty. Same thing with when people give me stuff, I get this huge guilt trip going on in my mind and I never mean to offend people by refusing their gifts but I can't help it, I hate getting stuff. I know, I'm odd. LoL. Believe me, I know this by now.
But this tax refund we got back more than we ever expected and after paying a few bills and putting a big chunk away in savings, we were left with a decent amount so Abel and I split it. And I for once was able to spend money on myself. Which is great because my big belly was getting too big for my pants. And we won't even start on the war with my boobs. I was perfectly happy with my size and now I have to move up a size and I know they'll only get bigger once I begin breastfeeding. Most people would be happy. I on the other hand fight with my chest as it is so maaaan....*grumble grumble* Yeah we won't go there...Lol.
But I got a new camera finally (insert HUGE grin here) and of course a new cell phone. It's the first time in my life I have gotten to get something sort of top of the line you know? It was...nice for once. Of course I still feel guilty but Abel says I'll get over it once they get here.
We went to Target which I hate shopping at but it was the only place to be and I accomplished a few needs there as well. Hannah's room has officially begun the redecorating phase! Hooray! I'm so upset though. Did you know that they have no cute bedding for a full size bed? I realize that yes my daughter is 2 and yes she technically should be in a toddler or twin size bed but as we had 3 beds here when w moved in and I needed to set up her crib for new baby, she got stuck with a full size bed. Which in her case is great because somehow Miss Tornado ends up in the oddest positions and sometimes at the completely opposite end of the bed where I placed her the night before. But to find Disney Princesses or Tinkerbell in a full size bed? Forget about it...Luckily Target carries them but they were out of the comforters so I now get to order via online. I'm just bummed that there isn't much of a selection you know?
So now today is a mellow hang out day. I'm bored but waiting for my dad to come home from the hospital finally. I sent the husband to get him two hours ago so I could quickly clean up the house, haha. And shower. And now I'm still waiting....
I'm doing fine still with pregnancy and all. Although if you want a clear picture of how my luck runs, have you ever heard of PUPPP? I had it with Hannah. It's a rash and you itch all the time. every moment of life until the moment you give birth, constant itching. It's great because in another week or so I should look like a meth addict with scabs every inch of my body from scratching so much. It's fabulous!! Well you're only supposed to get it in the 35th week of pregnancy and only in the first pregnancy. Guess who beat both of those. Ha! ME! But I shall not complain. I am still pregnant and am able to keep this baby so I am thankful for even this misery of PUPPP. I have another week and a day or two before next appointment. Do you think at 15 weeks and 4 days they'd be able to tell me if it's a boy? LoL. Fat chance huh? Bummer...Abel leaves in 3 weeks for his classes in Minneapolis and I really don't want to find out what I'm having without him (he'll be gone for a few weeks) and I really don't want to wait for him to get back to find out, LoL. Aren't I the best wife ever? LoL.
Anyways, I'm hungry and there's some leftover chicken in my fridge that is screaming my name. I hear it loud and clear so I'm off to gorge myself! LoL. I send my love to all and hope everyone is doing well. And I shall update another day!

Bert and Ernie?

I have had that topic in my head all day, haha. Thanks to Justine and Jill, I'm now not only a little star struck but now I'm contemplating Bert and Ernie and their living situation...(http://jillsbelieveitornot.blogspot.com/) & (http://justines-cafe.blogspot.com/) I'm not good with the whole linking thing, can you see? Haha.
And as part of an apology for not responding to my many comments and readers and just because I'm excited to have used a camera again, I thought I'd post my ever fattening belly photo for everyone to see that I am in fact not exaggerating. My mother thinks I'm huge and asked me if I was sure my dates were not wrong. Thanks mother. That huge blast of self-esteem just went to my head, LoL. But when looking at said photo, keep in mind that I in fact have not gained a single pound. Which is not only odd but starting to worry me. I guess I'll just have to eat more *sigh* Whatever will I do...Hmm I crave mandarin chicken now from Panda Express...Oooh yumm!!
Anyways here is my ever flattering photo. Hope you enjoy and don't expect one for a few more weeks, haha.


(14 weeks)

Oh and just because she's cute and wanted in the shot as well--Hannah~Bug.




Have a good night and remember, no laughing!!!

Happy V-Day Ya'll!

I hope everyone has not only a fantabulous Valentine's Day but also a fabulous weekend as well. The hubby and I don't do Valentine's day, one too many times scorned on this ... day and he's just excited to not have the pressure of buying something for me. To tell you the truth, I've only been single like twice for Valentine's day. During my teenage years that is. And never have I ever gotten anything for this day from my ... then boyfriend. So I began to despise it. Today, I have my hubby, Abel who not only makes sure to buy me flowers every few weeks, he also arranges them (don't ask me how he negotiates with the florist to allow him to do this) but he also buys me sweet thinsg every so often and cards every great while as well. He enjoys taking me out to dinner often and loves to spoil me as often as he is allowed. I think this day is just another day except that the sugar companies like to over play it so they can make money off of couples. I think honestly, everyone should play as if V-Day were everyday if not every few weeks. I'm very greatful I didn't end up with a man who never buys or does anything sweet but once a year when it is required. So I'm greatful.
I however think of you, my blogger friends and how sweet you all are. And that you are my friendly Valentines this year. I'm so thankful to have met you and to get to hear of the many sweet and wonderful things you do all the time! You truly make it a V-day every day!!
You know also how interesting that today is the Friday the 13th? Yeah I'm not too superstitous, especially since we got our tax refund back today. LoL. I got to go shopping finally. I ordered a nice camera which I of course am regretting immediately. I'm one of those people who despises buying for herself. I talk alot about wanting to go shopping but when it comes down to it, I can't buy anything for me because I hate the guilt. So I buy for Hannah or Abel. Like this time. I got a piece of the money, Abel got teh same amount, half of it went to paying bills and my father and the other half went into the bank. I spent my part on my camera and then for Hannah. No wait, I did manage to buy a bra. I needed one what with mine falling out of the one I own currently...We won't go there...But I feel so much happier buying for others than myself. Although, one of these days I do need to buy some new clothes. For sure, for sure....
Anyways, just a random short note. I hope you all have a great weekend. I get to get Hannah ready and we're off to visit my father in the hospital. He lost 12 pounds once they inserted a catheter. No one believed me that he needed to be cathed. No one listened to me when I told them him peeing once a day wasn't enough and that something had to wrong. Oh no, don't listen to me...TMI, I'm sorry. Still pissed about it but whatever. He's getting fixed so I'm happy.
So anyways, Happy V-Day!! Love to you all and I'll be on again another day!!
