Now I Can't Remember.....

Seriously. Pregnant brain. I just was in the bath thinking of a post....now I can not remember what I wanted to say!

Anyway, I'm kind of not feeling great now, it's late, I've had too much Coke and chocolate today. :)

Now I think I'm feeling the effects of the sugar let down.

I wanted a candy bar after dinner something fierce. A Skor, those toffee and chocolate goodies. I can not tell you the last time I had one, I mean it's been years.

Okay so 20 dollars later I left Walgreen's with 2 Skor bars, a bag of Halloween pumpkin Reese's Cups, a bag of mini Snickers (those really were for Benji. Really) AND three bags of candy corn. Gah.

I don't even like candy corn. Who is this person growing inside me??????

A word of caution. Don't go to the drug store at Halloween if you're pregnant.

I ate one candy bar right after dinner. Then waited until later to move on to the peanut butter pumpkins.

Let's just say I had a few.

I also had a coke, real, not diet, with dinner. That's probably what sent me into this diabetic coma.

Well, that's totally not what I intended to say, but that's whatcha get. :)

Give me insulin if I pass out. Okay.

P.S. WHAT is it about peanut butter and chocolate that is SOOO irresistible??? Seriously!

Oh! P.S!

I finished reading The Help.

Please everyone read this book.

Amazing read! One of the best I've read in a long time.

Brain Dump

Here's my summary of all the things running through my pregnancy brain this week.

I finally made those P.W. Vanilla bean scones.

Two things I learned: 1. Vanilla beans are freaking expensive! 2. Confectioners sugar is different than powdered sugar. Unfortunately I learned number 2 AFTER I was done. It didn't really change the taste I don't think. They were great, but the icing turned out to be more of a glaze.

I am super blessed to have had a healthy baby girl and I am equally blessed thus far with a healthy, (relatively) easy pregnancy with our boy Jesse.

I can't quit buying Target shoes for Emery. Target gets on my nerves for a few different reasons, but their toddler shoes are adorable.

I want to sleep all day. Still. I think this is the hardest thing for me to deal with in pregnancy, (which I know is NOT a huge deal in the big picture)...anyway. thank goodness Emery has MMO two days a week. Here's the confession part, today I dropped her off at 9am. Came home and ate breakfast, went back to sleep at 10am. Woke up at 1230 to pick her up. She fell asleep on the way home so at 1pm I put her in her crib. I tried to stay awake, but at 230 I feel back asleep and slept until 4pm when she woke up.

That is pitiful! I swear! Babies really do suck the life out of you. :)

Hopefully this will post this time. I tried last night, but lost half of it when I tried to post. Blogger is being very sketchy lately.

Blogger, Hello???

Blogger is really gettin on my last nerve recently. Any one else having problems logging in and posting? I keep getting a service error response 503.

Boo blogger. Boo.

The Name Game

I would recommend The Baby Name Wizard book to anyone trying to decide on the name of a child. What an emotional task! Here's the name description the book gave for our little man's name.

Once I read this description how could I resist such a perfect name. :)

"like many Old Testament favorites, this name carries echoes of an earlier America, a land of farms and frontier. But while Jeremiah and Joshua were splitting rails and tiling soil, HE was robbing stagecoaches. Timeless, lawlessly cool........
