(Excuse the bad picture. It was taken at work since the hubby didn't take one this week.)

V-day!

         Yeah for V-day (viability)! This is pretty much the biggest milestone during the second trimester. It is when your baby has a good chance of making it outside of the womb if they happened to be born. You reach it at week 24 of your pregnancy and I honestly can't believe that I am there. Quinn will be here before we know it. Only 16 weeks to go!

           On another note, here is the picture that the baby morpher app I tried came up with. It's honestly not a bad looking kid, and I can see the parts of Tommy & myself that it pulled out. I am interested to see if our baby will look anything like this.

My Mommy Splurge!

         Yesterday I was faced with a huge debate within myself! To buy or not to buy. I had every intent on getting a Vera Bradley diaper bag, which was on sale online for $90. I was happy at the thought of this bag, until my hubby wanted to go mall hopping yesterday (this NEVER happens).
          At the last mall we went to there was a Coach outlet. Can you all see where this is going? I decided I would go in and just look around. I wasn't even considering buying anything, until I saw the most awesome diaper bag ever! It was marked down to $170 instead of the $495 it is in the regular Coach store. My hubby was telling me to get it (since he had just bough sun glasses at the Oakley store) but I was still having a tough time. So, we left and got lunch. All during lunch all I could think about was that bag. I even cut up how much it cost a week if I carried it for 3 years trying to justify it in my head.
      Finally my husband told me, its your money so you have to decide, but I would get it for you. That did it. I ran back to get the bag. An elderly gentleman was looking at the last one so I politely told him it was a diaper bag to which he replied "Oh, our kids are 32 and 46, I just thought it was a really big purse. Here you go." This made me laugh. So I walked away with my beloved diaper bag, promising my hubby that I won't go in a Coach store for at least another year since it seems that every time I do I wind up getting something.

What To Wear?

      In the past few weeks my bump has been growing, and my wardrobe has been shrinking. This has brought me into a "what do I wear" predicament more then once. So, over the weekend I started looking for cute clothes that would work with my growing bump. This search lead me to American Eagle where I found quite a few skirts with extra stretchy elastic waists. I also stocked up on solid colored tee shirts from Old Navy. Now I can't wait for warm weather so that I can stop wearing maternity pants, which I don't find comfortable at all, and start wearing my skirts. Only 125 days left until little guy's due date. It's coming so quick!
