Ok, not entirely true...but it's been a bit longer than I usually go. There are quite a few things to update on. My trip home was really wonderful and I loved being with my family. I got some things that I've been wanting. One of them being the moby wrap. I cannot wait to tote little Audrey around with me in it. I also bought more diapers! lol. I have been trying to buy a good amount of diapers every pay period. Another thing I do is keep track of how many I have so far so that I know approximately how long they will last. Official count right now is....*drumroll*...564. I've got about 360 size 1 diapers and am now working on size 2 which is currently at 204. I really want to not have to buy diapers for a while after she is born, so that's why I'm doing this. Plus, I've been on a huge couponing mission, so I'm trying to not buy diapers without coupons. I coupon for other stuff like pacifiers, diaper rash cream, bathing stuff. All this small stuff REALLY adds up, so every little bit helps.
Anyways, on Friday I came home to be with my husband. I REALLY missed him and he really missed me, so it was sweet to be together again. What I loved was his sudden increase in interest in my belly and our daughter. All he wanted to do was feel her move and watch my belly's movement. He kept trying to feel around for where exactly she was (you can always tell, because it's really hard in that certain spot). It was sweet. Then on Saturday, I had my birthday present...which was a spa day. I really felt like a new woman after that!! Prenatal massages are a MUST for when you get big. I had never had a facial before, so that was nice to experience. I got a new haircut that I absolutely LOVE...and a pedicure. So I was all set and brand new. Paul and I went out to dinner with friends that night.
Yesterday was my birthday and it was one of the best! I am going to recount all the details, so here goes: Paul took me to get an Icee at the Shoppette, then we went to the BX to look at washers and dryers. We ended up buying a big rug for our living room, since it's all tile. It was only $33.99. Good deal! And it adds a more personal touch to the house. The next stop was Target: my faaaaavorite store ever. There, we bought a rug for our room, the baby's room and a mat for the kitchen. Yay for making the house more of a home! We also bought more diapers and other small stuff. Next, Paul and I went to Best Buy to look at washers and dryers...again. lol. We had some time to kill until we got hungry so we can home and set up our rugs and stuff that we had bought. Then we went to Ralph and Kacoo's (a nummy cajun restaurant!!) for my birthday dinner. It was delicious and almost right up there with the actual food in New Orleans. Just what I wanted! After we got back home, we watched Army Wives and some other shows. I got the urge to clean and organize more in the baby's room so I spent a while doing that until my back hurt too bad. It was so much fun!
So basically that's what has happened since I last blogged. My 4D ultrasound is on Wednesday and I am SO excited to see Audrey. Hopefully, she cooperates and we can get a good look at her facial features. Should be fun :-)
