2 More Months

yes that is my belly button poking out...

First, here are the kids' room pictures, all done, finally!! One cool thing I didn't include in my pic descriptions was the great deal we got on wood blinds from home depot!! There discontinueing some of the blinds and they had them on sale for 23 reg. 57 dollars. The only thing was is that they were too big and we needed them cut down. We got one cut without a hitch, the next window got chipped on one side, so the lady sold that one to us for 5 bucks!! We took it home, Mitch cute the other side and I touched up the chipped parts and you would never know!!
And I have Aliza's room done!! I just need to get diaper rash cream and kleenex for that room. I am planning on getting that Buttpaste the natural version, I have a coupon but Walmart didn't have that version. At the bottom of the blog I have an Aliza album feed that you can click to check whenever.
I am still liking and doing my prenatal yoga I blogged a while back about. (twice a week, I'd like it to be more but projects and cleaning and life and groceries take me away from that)
2 pregnancy must haves for this time around for me were Be Maternity from Target. I got the white BeBand, it is SO nice, it helps to keep your pants up, and hide if you can't button them, I still have to adjust it some, but it sooo much better than constantly yanking up my jeans, smooths out muffin top issues, AND you can use it afterward, I'm thinking, more blob hiding, less plumber crack worries, and a little cover up while hiking up shirts to nurse.
The second thing from that BeMaternity is their tank tops, I got black, it is so stretchy and comfy, I love it because it shows off your bump early but grows with you. If you look at my belly pics, I'm wearing it at 20 weeks and am wearing today at 31 and I still have more room to grow in it. And you could totally use it afterward, nice and long. I think I made a paragraph sentence above about the band... oh well.
Also, I'm so excited to use this for Aliza,
Nature's Baby Organics, Organics, Shampoo & Body Wash, Vanilla Tangerine you can click on the link and read the reviews if you're interested. If you check back in my health/beauty posts I am still using for myself now and will use for her that Stoneybrook lotion.
I've also gotten some Hugo ( not the perfume) shampoo and conditioner I really like!! I am using the jasmine shampoo and the ylang ylang conditioner. If you're interested just search them on iherb and read the reviews. I was interested in trying something like WEN but I figured I could find something cheaper and more natural, a couple of the reviewers said they had been WEN users. The shampoo does great with actually cleaning my scalp of buildup which I was skeptical it would, and conditioner, I put in and comb through, but it's not your average slippery slimy stuff. Anyway, I love it thus far. I usually wait to use things a while before I review them and I did with all this stuff, minus the baby wash, but the reviews make me confident I will love it too.
Other pregnancy stuff, I was sad last night because when I woke up, Mitch was all the way on the edge of the bed and I felt unloved for a moment, then I realized my pillow I used for my back/belly, depending on what side I'm flipping to had forced over there, poor guy.
I also got teary today because while grocery shopping, there was this sweet old lady that reminded me of my grandma, just kinda the way she looked and the sweet way about her, we shared a few words about ketchup and arthritic hands....
Anyway, 2 more months and I can't WAIT to meet my baby girl!!! And I really need to take some pictures of my other children and video them... my muffins are turning 4 and 6 within this month or so!!! Isabelle got to have an easter egg hunt at school today and 80 degree weather was perfect for it!!
