My New Obsession


I am addicted to this site, http://www.pinterest.com/.  This site is a collage of any idea that you can think of.  It has recipes, crafts, wreaths, outfits, sayings, cute picture poses, costumes, and the list goes on and on.  I have gotten so many ideas from this site.  Definitely check it out, but beware, you will soon be an addict too.

Baby Bump Chronicles 17w6d....It's A....

GIRL!  Yep, Kendall Grace is on her way.  Scott and I went to Baby Views, which is an outside clinic from my doctor's office, that offers 2D and 4D ultrasounds.  We got our 2D ultrasound done.  The sonographer not only told us that we were having a girl, but she showed us just about all of Kendall's body parts.  All of her body parts have developed and are the right size for this point in the pregnancy.  She is 8 ounces and 5 1/2 inches long.  She is a healthy little girl.  I just can't wait to see her.

So how did we come up with the name Kendall Grace?  Well for those of you who don't know, Scott's first name is Wendell.  One day way back before I even got pregnant, I was just talking, and I said, "We could name our daughter Kendall because it rhymes with Wendell.  We both liked the name, so Kendall just stuck.  We both liked Grace.  Since it's because of God's grace that our daughter is on the way, we thought Grace would only be appropriate for her. 

Here are some pictures from Kendall's latest photo shoot:


Kendell's side view.  I think she was sleeping on her back until the sonographer woke her up.

She's stretching out here with her ankles crossed.

She's waving here and saying in her sweet little girl voice, "Hi Mom and Dad, what's shaking? LOL

Here's a pic of my baby bump.  It's getting bigger and bigger.
Note:  Early this morning sitting up in the bed, I thought I felt Kendall move.  As I was typing this post, I felt it again.  Scott felt it too.  It doesn't feel like butterflies like everyone says.  It feels more like she is hiccupping, which she may very well be.  It just feels good to finally feel her.

Bug's Life....

I was sitting at my desk minding my own business.  I turn around to look outside and see this extra humongous bug crawling outside my window.  Needless to say, it startled me because at first glimpse, it looked like it was on the inside.  Thank goodness, it was on the outside.  He stayed on my window for about 30 minutes or so.  I named him Leroy since he was hanging around for so long.

Baby 101

Last Tuesday, Scott and I went to our first baby care class (sorry for the late post).  This was a class that taught us new parents how to feed, change, swaddle, bathe, and soothe a newborn baby.  I thought it was funny how when the teacher asked us all why we signed up for the class, just about all of us said, "I just want to know how to not cause something tragic to happen to my child."  We all just don't want to do anything wrong to this defenseless baby when we bring him/her home.  The class was very interesting and informative.  Just about all mothers in the class were about to give birth.  I was the only early bird...lol

The picture of the baby is Lil Timmy.  He was one of our practice babies.  Oh yeah, the practice baby was a boy.  I wonder if that's a sign...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

You Can Never Have Too Many....

Shoes!
I needed to get some flats being that I am preg and all.  So, I got a few pair that I can dress up or down with outfits.  Check me out!  I just love getting new shoes...ha!

I just love a red shoe!  I've worn these a few times to work, and they really are a good add.  It is something about a red shoe that brings out my inner Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.
I haven't worn these yet, but you just can't go wrong with silver shoes.  They will make any outfit pop with the right accessories.

These are some everyday flats that I am sure will get worn quite often.  You can't go wrong with a classic black shoe. 


 
I've been wanting some chucks for awhile.  I have long feet, so I always thought they wouldn't look good on me.  Well, you never know until you try is the saying I had in my head when I saw these shoes.  They look so cute!  I got them in grey, but plan to get another color...something funky.  I'm quadruple excited about putting together cute weekend outfits with the shoes. Scoot over Snoop Dogg because me and Baby Dismute gon' be stylin...lmbo
 

Pregger Alert!!!!!


Unless you live up under a rock somewhere, you know that Beyonce announced last Sunday that she is pregnant.  I know this sounds weird, but it made me a little excited knowing that we are both pregnant at the same time, and our due dates are not that far apart (she is due in March).  I mean, she is a good friend of mine in my head...lol  Any who, her b-day is today, so Happy 30th Birthday, B.  Our kids will have to have playdates in the future...lol
