	2009.03.04  10.07 It's been so long, I know, but I am horrible at updating. I kind of hate doing it. I am going to school full-time now so I don't have as much free time. Okay, that's kind of an excuse. I still have a lot of free time. I am just lazy. Update on Rowan... She is getting to be such a big girl. She's probably 23 lbs. now. She says all kinds of things such as: I know, oh no!, uh-oh, oh my, highchair, ball, baby, banana, pop, bubble, etc. I'm looking forward to when she puts more words together. Her hair is getting less red, I think, but it all depends on the light. She is currently obsessed with trying to stand on her rocking chair. I keep telling her, "Danger,Danger," but she doesn't care. She finally got her top teeth which are great for chewing, but not good for mommy. We are still nursing but I don't think we will be for much longer. I'm kind of over it now.. my boobs have had it. Pregnancy doesn't do wonders for your breasts, that's for sure. Rowan is so funny with other little kids. She's so sweet. She brings them toys. All she wants to do is give hugs but they usually don't reciprocate. I'm happy that she is not the little devil child that hits and takes toys away<3 I can't wait for it to get warm! This was such a horrible winter. I hate not being able to take Rowan outside for months to play.

	2008.12.10  15.08 I just want to complain here that 3 finals in 24 hours is way too much. My brain has been overloaded and I just want a nap, darnit.

	2008.06.28  16.25 I probably only have a few minutes to update this. Rowan is taking a little nap on his parents' bed. I have an announcement. Drew and I are engaged! We wanted to get married in the fall but my sister is getting married then, so I think we'll have to wait until the spring. I don't want to have a huge wedding and I'm not really one for planning, so we'll see what happens. I also need to find out about how it's going to affect my financial aid, because I qualify for a full pell grant. Yay for being poor! Crap.... Rowan is awake now and very eager to play with the keyboard. Here are a few pictures- Sorry they're so big.. They're a month old probably but Drew's camera just died, so I can't upload new ones.

	2008.06.04  17.56 Dear LJ Friends, It has been a very long time since I've updated this. We still don't have the internet and I'm sure we won't get it as long as we are poor. I finished my class and I have no idea what grade I got because he accidentally gave me an F. How does that happen? I have to call him tomorrow. Rowan turned 6 months on the 24th. She is 16 pounds and I have no idea how long she is, but we will find out on the 11th when she goes to get her shots. She isn't scooting or anything yet. Whenever I put her on her belly, she just immediately rolls over. I don't mind though because that means that I still have a little while to enjoy not chasing her everywhere. She says "mamamama" and can sit very well on her own but she falls over when she gets distracted by toys that are far away. She has been eating her vegetables and is usually indifferent to them at first, but then will open her mouth and wait for a bite after the first few bites. She has lost most of her hair except for a little bit on top, and the little mullet part in the back. She has a mohawk/mullet. Oh, my little fashion-forward baby. The song "Old McDonald" is her favorite thing in the world. We have a little hand puppet with all the animals and she gets so excited. She is absolutely gorgeous, but of course I am biased. She's started waking up in the middle of the night again and sometimes even wants to nurse. Do any of you mama's have advice for this? I think it's just because of the separation anxiety that she has and I know that bad sleeping habits start at 6 months. I know she is starting to manipulate us because she knows that I will wake up and bring her to bed with me.

	2008.04.29  09.17 I only have a few minutes to update this. I am on a break in class, and have to go back soon. I just wanted to give a little update on Rowan. She's about 16 1/2 pounds now. She's losing a lot of her hair, but she still has quite a bit. She can roll over both ways. She is so obsessed with her fingers and fists. She wants them in her mouth all the time. She no longer takes the pacifier when she's awake, but she does need it to help her sleep sometimes. We finally transitioned her to her crib, and she has done quite well the past few nights. She's a very serious girl. She just focuses so well on everything. It's sometimes difficult to get her to laugh, but it is the most amazing thing in the world. I will post some videos in a few days. The separation anxiety is kicking in for her now. She gets upset when I leave the room so it makes it very hard to get anything done. Drew started his job at the hospital yesterday. He will be working second shift, which is 2:30-11:00 so I am going to be one lonely mama. At least we can spend the early afternoons together by having picnics and enjoying the mornings before it gets too hot. Must go now..

	2008.02.11  10.19 My anxiety has been so much better lately. Maybe it's because I no longer have to wake several times in the middle of the night? For a little more than a week now, Rowan has been sleeping throughout the night in her moses basket. It was the day of the Superbowl and I was talking to his mom about how she will probably never be a baby that sleeps through the entire night, and that night she actually did. Somehow I still feel really, really tired but I guess that just goes along with being a new mom. I still haven't gotten my baby legs and I paid for them a week and a half ago. I'm thinking about reporting one of the ladies because I don't think she's even sent it. I'm not sure what the standard is on Etsy, but it should at least be in the mail by now, yes? I am quite proud of myself because I have finally made it under 120 lbs. I still have a little ways to go, but I think that working out is paying off. I don't allow myself to have sweets usually. If I do, I will have one treat a week. I love chocolate so much, but I'm pretty good at having self-control. Anyway, Rowan, Drew, and myself are going to West Virginia in June. I'm excited because I've only been Southeast but never to the actual East of the country. Drew's best friend is getting married so he's going to be in the wedding. It should be fun. I'm already nervous about taking her on a roadtrip and it's still 4 months away. By that point, she will be crawling and not eating as much. I just had to share my excitement about going. To all you mama's out there, I'd like to know when developments started to happen in your baby such as when your baby could hold his/her head completely erect without it wobbling, when your baby started to reach for things, etc. I know it's different for every baby but it'd be nice to know.

	2008.01.29  19.09 Holy cow, Rowan is getting so big. She doesn't fit on my lap so well anymore=(. She just outgrew a lot more clothes. We went and bought some 3-6 month clothing, and she's already going to be out of one the sleepers that we got her soon. I'm really excited because I bought her two pairs of Babylegs from Etsy today. I have a feeling that it's going to make changing her diapers much, much easier. Obviously it's not difficult now, but it is a pain to put her pants back on when I am half asleep. She had a pretty upset stomach yesterday, and cried off and on(but mostly on) from about 5-11. The only thing that would calm her down was nursing her, or me rocking her back and forth. She was terribly unhappy when Drew was holding her. Doesn't it make you feel so hopeless when your child isn't feeling well? It's one of the worst feelings in the world. Ugh, so I went back to school today. That class is full of hicks and people that are totally immature. Seriously, it makes me feel like I'm 14 again. I wasn't aware that people still tried to turn everything you say into something sexual. I am so happy that I only have to go once a week. So, I am having major issues with wanting to spend money. When I actually had a job, I rarely ever wanted to spend and was so good about saving money. Now that I'm not working and don't have much money saved at all, I just want to spend, spend, spend. It's really horrible. I am hooked on looking at etsy, for reals. It's an addiction. Somebody hide my credit cards, pls.

	2007.12.21  08.11 The internet hasn't been working since the last time I posted. Yes, we steal the internets from the people across the street but for some reason that network isn't working at all. So, now we are stealing the internet from the hospital and the connection is painfully slow because the hospital's not all that close. I guess it's better than nothing, but it's hard to form the patience to even try to use it. I feel like total crap today. I feel like I may be getting sick, but it's probably either allergies or that I slept too much because I only had to get up for half an hour last night. That means that I slept for 9 1/2 hours(Drew gave her a bottle that I pumped so no, I am not starving my child). I'm sure some of you mom's probably want to throw something at me for saying that, but getting too much sleep often makes you feel worse than not getting enough. Anyway, I am pretty excited to go home today. I'm going to go out to eat with my mom and Rowan and I'm kind of nervous because I've only really ever taken her out once. I think that as long as I feed her before we go she'll be okay because she absolutely loves her carseat. She sleeps in it for hours. We did end up getting her pictures taken on Monday and I know they're going to be so cute. She did pretty well. She had her fussy moments, but she was so fascinated by the camera that she was looking right into it. Julia said she would e-mail me with the pictures but she hasn't done that yet. I know that this is a busy time though, so I'm trying to be understanding. Anyway, I got out of the house yesterday by myself which was strange but nice. My sister came over and babysat for an hour and a half while I went Christmas shopping. I mostly just bought things for myself because I have not done that in along time. I got some shoes and two pairs of beautiful earrings from Express. It was so nice to just walk around. I want to start exercising because I can do that now, but it's too cold to walk Rowan outside. I walked up and down our stairs yesterday several times, but that just made my thighs burn. I tried to do push-ups but I just kind of fell flat. I can't believe how weak I am now. Oh pregnancy. Well, I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and that you get lots of goodies.

	2007.12.02  09.44 I can't believe that Rowan is 8 days old already. I'm so afraid of time going by quickly now that she's here. As silly as it may seem, I kind of want her to stay like this forever. She has already changed a lot physically over the past week. She was back up to her birth weight by day 5, and the nurse was amazed. She said that they don't expect that until 2 weeks. Breastfeeding is going a little better. I haven't gotten frustrated with it yet, so that's good. Rowan is seriously a wonderful baby. The only time that she cries is when she's getting her diaper changed, when she gets hungry, and when she's getting a bath. Otherwise, she basically sleeps all day. The past few nights she has even slept almost all night. I feel like I have it really easy with her. I know that I'm lucky. In fact, she's sleeping away in her moses basket as I type. I know that experts say that babies don't smile until about 6 weeks and that it's just gas, but it seems like she does. I was singing to her yesterday, and she had this huge smile and even let out a little coo. When we put her on her belly for tummy time, she can lift her head up a little bit and can even scoot herself around. Anyway, I am just totally in love with her. ( So cute )

	2007.11.23  09.37 I have been up since before 2 a.m. which means that I got a total of about 3 hours of sleep. I am having what I think are contractions every 7 minutes or so. I took some tylenol around 4:30 to see if that would help, and it didn't. I also took a bath, and that didn't really help either. The reason that I'm not sure if they're contractions is because they're very low and it's a mixture of pressure and pain. However, I am having a little bit of cramping in between. They haven't gotten any closer together which also makes me wonder. Anyway, I will keep timing them. They are extremely painful but I'm dealing with it. So, maybe I won't have to be induced after all...

	2007.11.18  19.42 So, my ankles turned into cankles today. I was on my feet walking around for about 4-5 hours yesterday, and today as well. This is the first time that I've actually become swollen. I am so sore right now that I can barely walk. I think I'll probably just take it easy tomorrow. We moved in a lot of things to the apartment and it's looking pretty cute. I will post pictures as soon as I can. My mom and I went to Pier One today and bought some pretty pillows, and rug, and a few other things. I can't believe I only have 12 days left until I'm 40 weeks along. I have had more signs in the past few days that labor is near, so that's exciting. They're not the most pleasant of symptoms, but it makes me excited to know that it'll all be over soon. I am really going to miss her kicks and punches, but I've waited so long to hold her. I've been getting very nauseous the past few days. It's been extremely difficult to eat dinner. I had to give up tonight and just eat a banana. I haven't been able to take a nap in 3 days. I just haven't been able to fall asleep. My cousin who was due 8 days before me had her baby this morning. My mom and I went and saw him today, and he's so adorable. She got induced because of her high blood pressure and ended up having to get a c-section after 13-15 hours of labor. They told her that her baby was going to be 10 lbs. and he's only 8 lbs. So much for ultrasound measurements. Seeing her like that really made me fearful of getting a c-section. The c-section rate at our hospital is 25%. That sounds like way too much to me, but apparently that's average. We still haven't installed the carseat/base into our cars. I told Drew that he should do it tomorrow because you never know when I could go into labor.

	2007.11.15  20.09 38 weeks in 4 hours. Only 2 more weeks to go! I apologize again for the boring, pointless entries, but it's hard to find anything interesting to talk about when you really don't do anything. I'm sure I will have a lot more to post about once the baby is finally here, but for now I will just whine and complain about how uncomfortable I am. I haven't seen Drew since Saturday which is odd. We've never gone this long without seeing each other. I didn't want him to get sick so I asked him not to come over the last few days. Well, he ended up getting sick today anyways. As much as it sucks, at least we're sick before the baby comes, and not when she's born. Wow, I am feeling a ton of pressure right now. Yikes. Anyway, I think that I've officially started to nest. I started cleaning my bathroom today which I do every week. I then found myself cleaning the walls. That's right, the walls. I cleaned all of the doorknobs too. I felt like an obsessive-compulsive maniac doing it, but I couldn't stop. Okay, so much pressure right now... need to change positions.

	2007.11.14  12.43 Okay, so I wasn't just having an off day yesterday. I actually am sick and am feeling pretty cruddy. I've been burning up and my head is killing me. Hopefully this is the worst of it. Despite being sick, I went to my appointment today. I am really sick of that place. They always totally overbook patients so you have to wait for along time. By the time they finally called me, I was feeling quite relieved. However, when the OB came in and it wasn't my OB, I was feeling kind of irritated. Plus, she had a nursing student with her and I already knew I was going to be uncomfortable enough. She checked my cervix, and I am 1 cm dilated but barely effaced. Apparently my cervix is still really thick, so I'm pretty sure Rowan is not coming anytime soon. I don't know if it's because I have a small torso or if she hasn't totally dropped yet, but I am still feeling her where my ribs are. Anyway, I am going to start going on a walk every day I think to see if that helps. I've been doing my workout every day, and I still managed to gain 2 lbs. in a week. I don't know what's going on, but my body is really loving gaining weight. I do not enjoy feeling fluffy. I am going to try to nap since I woke up at 6 a.m. again today. Maybe I'll have sweet dreams and feel 100% when I wake up. Wouldn't that be nice?

	2007.11.13  09.51 I feel like I'm coming down with something. I have a headache, and my throat hurts. I just have that weird, congested feeling that you get when you're sick. I took a hot bath, drank some tea, and now I'm using a heating pad on my back. I have no idea what's safe to take while pregnant other than tylenol, and tylenol doesn't really do anything for me. I just hope that I'm having an "off" day, and not actually coming down with something. Anyway, I have my appointment tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting checked but I know it's going to hurt my poor nether-region. Plus, I am really shy and I hate showing off my goods. I need to get over that though since I will be giving birth very soon. I don't expect her for another 2 weeks, but it could be any day. I am 37 1/2 weeks now. Our lease starts for the apartment on Thursday. I can't believe that time is almost here already. I'm going to try to get over there so I can at least get the bathrooms ready. I need to wash all of our new towels and our new sheets. Drew needs to put the TV stand and crib together. His co-workers got him a gift card for Wal-Mart which was really nice, so I think we're going to use it to buy a chair for the living room so we can get rid of the gross loveseat, and hopefully a bookcase. It's such a pretty apartment. I didn't think that we'd be getting the internet, but apparently we'll be able to steal it from a neighbor. My life is changing so much right now, but they're good changes. It's just all happening at once.

	2007.11.11  12.44 19 days left. Holy crap. Rowan is kicking the bajeesus out of me and it really hurts. She does it in the same exact spot every day, so I feel like my belly is a little bruised. I'm having a lot menstrual-type cramping every day. It really feels like I'm on my period. I don't like to to think about getting a period again. Annnnnd, I can no longer sleep past 6 a.m. due to a ton of pressure. I don't know how I would make it through the day without a nap. Naps=Heaven on earth. These last few weeks really are horrible and draining, but this journey is almost over, and then a new one will begin. I can't believe I'm going to be a mother. I was sitting with Drew last night and it all kind of hit me at once. I'm going to have a daughter that relies on me and calls me "mom". I have many fears as most first time parents do, but mostly, I just want to be a great mother. I can't financially give my daughter the world at this point, but she will be loved more than anything. Drew was sweet and tried to buy me raspberry leaf tea last night for my uterus(yays!), but got me female toner for menstrual periods with raspberry leaf in it. I read the box and it said specifically that it is not to be taken while pregnant or breastfeeding. I had to laugh, but it was sweet that he did that for me. Since I am breastfeeding, I can't drink it. His sister is going to be in for a surprise when she sees that she now gets a box of tea for her vagina.

	2007.11.06  10.56 I had my appointment this morning. She told me last time that she would check my cervix today, but she didn't. I got tested for Group B Strep and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. She's really nice, but she's always so short with me. She's constantly in a rush. I know that she's busy, but I think that you should make time for your patients and actually sit down and talk to them. If I could do it all over again, I would have searched for a different OB or midwife. It's unfortunately too late for that. I told her how miserable I've been, and she brought up the fact that you can get an elective induction around 38-39 weeks. While that sounds enticing, I don't want to have to be hooked up to an IV feeding me drugs. I want to labor freely. I am getting super impatient, but probably not that impatient. I officially can't even lay on my left side anymore because so much pressure gets put on my back, so the only option is to lay on my right side. It's rough. My next appointment is next Wednesday, so maybe she'll actually do what she's promised to do for a few weeks now.

	2007.11.05  15.12 I just went for a walk outside and that probably wasn't the brightest idea I've ever had. It's insanely windy outside(34mph). I wore a coat but of course I can't button it, so my belly was freezing and my nose was runny. I feel guilty when I don't take the dog for a walk and know that I won't be able to do it much longer. I think that I deserve a cup of hot chocolate now. Yum. Also, did I mention how cold it's been in my house? My parents are content with leaving the thermostat at 61 or 62 degrees, which is a far cry from comfortable. I suppose I will be living my life in a blanket for the next month or so. It's funny, because it went from people telling me that I'm not very big, to people telling me that it looks like I'm about to pop. Well let me tell you people, I feel like I'm going to pop. I have been having a lot of cramping and more braxton-hicks than usual. I have a feeling that maybe I've made some progress, but I will officially find that out tomorrow morning. I went and saw my grandpa yesterday again. He's doing a lot better. Apparently the tards at the nursing home were giving him his medicine during the day instead of at night. It's the kind of medicine that knocks you out. We all thought he was just going downhill because he was sleeping all day, but no. He has the best sense of humor ever. There's no way I'd be able to crack jokes if I was stuck in a nursing home.

	2007.10.31  12.42 I had my appointment today. Everything went really well. My blood pressure's good, and I have gained a total of 34 lbs. so far. I thought she was going to check my cervix and do the Group B Strep test, but she's actually going to do that on Tuesday. I thought for sure that she was still breech, but.. She turned! Yayyyyyyyyy. She is officially head down and I am so excited. My OB said that her head is low, which is why I've been feeling so much pressure. I have this feeling that I won't go the full 40 weeks, but we'll have to see. Rowan was kicking me profusely right before and after ultrasound, but decided she would get her nap in when it was actually being done. That's my girl. She also didn't do her measurements because she said everything looks great and she's still average as far as weight goes. I guess that means she weighs anywhere from 5 1/2-6 lbs. right now. I have two ultrasound photos but the quality is really horrible. ( Cut )

	2007.10.30  10.34 I feel like poop. My breakfast decided that it didn't want to stay down this morning. I've been combating nausea and it's really no fun. I tried to go back to sleep since the kids screaming across the street woke me up at 7, but I couldn't. I hate complaining but I do feel somewhat miserable. However, I know it's all worth it and I would endure the worst of pain just to hold her(yay labor!). I am so excited to have my ultrasound tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing how much she weighs and to see her cute, squishy face. It's going to be beautiful outside today and I am so excited to sit in the sun. This will probably be the last day that it reaches almost 70 degrees for months. I just wish that I had a good book to read. I suppose I could read more pregnancy books for the millionth time. I can't believe that November will be here in 2 days. It's unreal.

	2007.10.26  17.44 I haven't really left my house in about 3 days. I was going to go out tonight, but the weather decided that it would rain all day/night tonight, so I am sitting here peacefully in my pajamas. I'm going to have a grilled cheese and tomato soup. My step-dad bought me a chocolate milkshake. For some reason, all of that really makes it feel like fall. I have to help watch my nephews tomorrow, and then my mom and I are going to my brother's apartment on Sunday. I'm hoping that she might buy me some shoes for the winter. I kind of fell in love with a pair of high boots. They are amazing. For some odd reason, my computer decided that it no longer wants me to take me to oldnavy.com or gap.com. I'm a little confused as to why these websites won't work, but they won't load at all. Maybe that's a good thing? It keeps me from spending money that I can't really spend right now. I've started packing my hospital bag. I put together all of my favorite slower/relaxing CDs. I'm kind of clueless as to what I should bring. I have the music, pajamas, a robe, nipple cream, underwear, and socks packed so far. Any suggestions? I'm kind of waiting to see if I need to bring my focal point and a tennis ball for a back massage. She still hasn't flipped, and I go in for my ultrasound on Wednesday. I'm trying not to feel terrified, but I can't help it. My mom keeps reminding me that I've told into an old woman. All of a sudden, I really enjoy watching Wheel of Fortune. I know that's kind of pathetic, but it kind of makes me really happy. So sue me?

	2007.10.24  08.17 So, two of my lj friends due with November babies have now had their babies. I must admit that I'm a little bit jealous. I just want to see my daughter already, but I still have 5 weeks and 2 days to go, and I definitely want her to be full-term. I will just continue to mope around the house until that time eventually comes. Recently within the past week or so, I have become extremely uncomfortable. It's obvious to me that my belly has dropped a little bit. I'm feeling quite a bit of pelvic pressure. Also, my hips and pelvis really, really hurt. It's kind of difficult to get around anymore. It's especially difficult to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I have to literally convince myself that I can do it. I feel somewhat helpless sometimes. Rowan has begun to make movements that hurt, and she'll do it for hours at a time. I thought I had escaped that. I just thought that it was funny because I was feeling great at my appointment a week ago, and she reminded me that from here on out is the worst part of pregnancy. It was immediately after that that I started to feel this way. Thanks a lot, Dr. Goff. But anyway.. Drew and I now have a couch and love-seat for our apartment. We bought a really nice TV stand yesterday. So, now all we need is a nice bookcase, possibly a few end tables, and a microwave. He's moving the couches into the apartment today, so hopefully he'll take some pictures because I want to show you all what it looks like.

	2007.10.17  15.08 I had my 34 week appointment today. That was the fastest appointment ever. I got weighed, peed in a cup, got measured, and listened to her heartbeat. My OB came in really quickly and was obviously in a rush, so I didn't really get to talk to her about anything. She did say that everything looked great, so that's good. I have now gained an astounding 32 lbs. (ugh). If I can keep my weight gain down to 1 lb. a week, I will be happy. The nurse is always so sweet. Before she told me that my hair was gorgeous, and today she said that my belly was beautiful and that I have beautiful, tight skin. It's nice to hear these things when you don't feel so great about yourself. I suppose I've lucked out in the stretch mark department. I don't have any. Then again, my mom never even got them with twins. My ultrasound will be on Halloween. I don't usually get excited about Halloween, but this gives me something to look forward to. I really want to be working out still, but my pelvis always hurts so badly when I overexert myself. I went for a nice walk outside yesterday, so maybe that will be my new regimen. I've also been taking a bath every day. There's almost nothing better than a warm bath. In fact, I think I'll do that in a few minutes here. I'm going just a little crazy sitting at home all of the time. It's really nice not to be working, but it gets pretty boring here. At least I have my dog to keep me company...

	2007.10.16  09.06 Oh how I love waking up to screaming children outside every morning. It really puts me in a wonderful mood. I don't even need to set an alarm, because I can count on that around 7 a.m. I have my 34-week appointment tomorrow. I'm excited to listen to my bebe's heartbeat, but that's pretty much all that's going to happen. That, and I'll get measured. I still have 2 more weeks until the exciting stuff happens. As much as I do love being pregnant, it really sucks to go shopping with your mom and stores you love and know that you can't fit into any of it right now. But, I only have 6 1/2 more weeks if I go full-term so I can't complain much. Somebody please tell Rowan to get her head out of my ribs already. She's been getting into an even stranger position lately. My poor bladder... I went to the nursing home with my mom and brother on Sunday to see my grandpa. He is so adorable, and it makes me so sad that he has to be there. He kept asking my grandma when he was going to go home, and how we were going to fit everyone in one car. He said that the day before, my grandma left after she took him to the cafeteria for dinner, and he was traumatized. He kept calling her name, "Josie, Josephine". Gah. Though he does fumble with his thoughts sometimes, he always knows what he wants to say and he's not as bad as probably most of the people there. His face absolutely lit up when he realized that we were all there, and he was cracking jokes all day. There was this woman that obviously had really terrible dementia(why did I not know how to spell that? Thank you mozilla firefox), and she kept sitting outside of my grandpa's room. It was a really sad sight, but some of the things that she was saying were absolutely terrifying. "I want to go home. I can't go home. I'm gonna kill ya! The boy's not here." Yikes. My poor grandpa is stuck in the luney bin.

	2007.10.13  10.11 Drew left for Chicago this morning to record for his band (Scenic Square). It's kind of strange having him be hours away. It's been a very long time since that has happened. We went to Target last night and bought a ton of things for baby. We got bottles, a slipcover for my boppy, her bath, nipple cream(hurray!), breast pads, a changing pad and cover, a bottle brush, a diaper genie, and I think that's it. Oh, and we got a pretty fabulous rice paper floor lamp that was on sale for $19.00. I was so excited. Then, I came home to some caramel apples and that was even MORE exciting. Do you know how long I've been craving a caramel apple from Tanner's Orchard? Yummy. I don't really ever eat junk food anymore because my appetite has diminished, but I can always make room for that. I'm 33w1d today, and Rowan is still breech.:-( I'm trying to keep in mind that she could still flip, but there's not much room in there anymore, so I don't know.
