Boob Design!

Got my Boob Design mom and baby twinset in the mail today! I'm so excited. It couldn't have come at a better time. 

Tags still on and everything! Can't wait to wear the shirt and be showing!

Boob Design

Remember how I posted this about the giveaway I won? Well because I got my BFP so soon after winning, I emailed the lady back and requested this set instead.

Isn't it adorable? I asked for an XL instead of a L because I didn't manage to lose more weight before getting pregnant. 

Here's hoping I've got a sticky bean inside me. I sure do feel different, that's for sure.

The pickup I needed

Remember this post about this giveaway? Well...

I WON! :)

I told them I want this set: (Open all Hours/Always up for Snack)

But I'd prefer to have this set: (Fast Food/Food Now)

But they didn't have this one in a large. Even though I'm losing weight, I don't know what I'll gain while pregnant and how much more I'll lose before getting pregnant.

I'm just hoping the large is big enough when I get there.

I'M SO EXCITED!

Now I just need a baby!

I can't wait for this to arrive in the mail!

New blog I started reading

I found a new blog to follow off the top mommy blogs. Here is the link to it. Some awesome things I've found on this blog are:

"One idea I read about a while ago was to gather everyone for a picture and right before the picture is taken say "your name here, is pregnant!". That way you catch all of the reactions on camera. Great keepsake."

---------------------------------------------------------

Q. What's the difference between a nine-month pregnant woman and a model?
A. Nothing, if the pregnant woman's husband knows what's good for him.

Q. What does it mean when the baby's head is crowning?
A. It means you feel as though not only a crown but the entire throne is trying to make its way out of you.

Q. Should I have a baby after 35?
A. No, 35 children is enough.

Q. How does one sanitize nipples?
A. Bathe daily and wear a clean bra. It beats boiling them in a saucepan.

So happy for her. I'm so jealous, but I can be really happy because I still have hope for 2011.

Holiday Questionnaire

Holiday Questionnaire from Becky!

1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? hot chocolate. I dislike egg nog GREATLY. But really, I prefer chocolate milk to hot chocolate anyways. I'm a cold drink kind of person, not hot.

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? "Santa" wraps a few when we've got extra gifts for someone or for a group of someones and we don't care about signing for em. The dog also gives gifts too xD

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Coloured. White lights are LAME! haha. We got a fake tree this year because we borrowed our tree from my parents last year. It's 7.5 feet tall, with coloured lights (including PURPLE!) and it's beautiful. Plus it only cost $160 and my parents paid $100 of that.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? Never have. Idk what it looks like in real life.

5. When do you put your decorations up? Black friday or that weekend. My dad and husband are from the U.S. so it's unacceptable to put them up before Thanksgiving.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish? I don't like christmas dinner, so I guess I don't really have one. I'm a pasta person, not a meat/veggies person so I eat small bits of christmas and thanksgiving dinners.

7. Favorite holiday memory as a child? Christmases in California :)

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I don't remember really. I don't remember it be traumatic or anything I just remember not being allowed to say Santa wasn't real because my cousins still really believed in him for years after that.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Yeah, my grandparents in California always gave us an ornament for the tree and we open that on Christmas Eve. We might open another one if someone particularily wants us to.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? All our ornaments we've gotten over the years as well as some we've bought. None of this matching colour crap for us xD

11. Snow! Love it or dread it? Love it. But my city gets stupid when we have it. We don't get much snow being surrounded by ocean  so when it shows up, no one knows how to drive. Usually we end up with snow for about a week each year and it doesn't always show up at christmas.

12. Can you ice skate? I can not fall down. But skate? I guess a bit.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? I remember getting a razer scooter when I was younger. That same year my brother got a gameboy colour and I was so happy for my scooter because I already had a gameboy colour because for once I had saved my money. The gift was more than just a gift, it was proof that I can save money if I really tried.

14. What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Being with family.

15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? Fudge! Chocolate fudge made with marshmallow cream. Although after last night I might have to change my mind. My friend made this amazing millionaire shortbread that I'm gonna get the recipe to!

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? 

17. What tops your tree? Last year was a star but this year will probably be an angel since the star is kinda ugly and it outweighs the top branch on the tree. I'm gonna grab a $15 non light up angel from Wal Mart probably. I saw some that I really loved last time I was there.

18. Which do you prefer: giving or receiving? Usually giving, unless I had a hard time with gift ideas for someone. If I've got a really awesome gift idea, I'm excited about giving a ton more.

19. Candy canes: yuck or yum? Yum in almost all flavours too!

20. Favorite Christmas show? Holiday Inn I think

21. Saddest Christmas song? Christmas Shoes

22. What is your favorite Christmas song? Grown Up Christmas List

23. Do you use an Advent calendar? Only a chocolate one, if someone buys it for me. My family had one I loved when I was younger but I don't know where it is now.

24. Do you go to church on Christmas? Christmas Eve usually

25. What were your Christmas morning rules as a kid? Stockings before breakfast and one present. Then everything else after breakfast and showers

(My question) 26. Fake or real tree? Fake for now. Real when we have kids old enough to appreciate it.

If you have any interesting answers to questions, leave them in the comments! or link up if you do the questionnaire on your blog!

Wish List Wednesday: IKEA Edition

It's that time again! This week I'm doing what I want from IKEA. I know I just went there on May 28th but I still have things I want because I couldn't buy them or didn't know about them.

1. BESTÅ

Shelf unit in black-brown

We've already got one of these but it's almost full. This matches our current living room colour scheme and I would love to have like 3 more of these because we can also put them in the bedroom as our bedroom furniture is black-brown too.

2. EXPEDIT

Bookcase in pretty much any colour

I especially want a LOT of these because I'm planning on using this type of shelf with the cloth drawers for storage in a baby room.

3. GÅSER

Rug, high pile in blue-grey.

It would match our bedding perfectly!

4. EKTORP TULLSTA

Armchair in black or white

This would go nicely in a corner of our bedroom near a nice big mirror.

5.  BYHOLMA

Chest in grey 

or

KOMPLEMENT

Interior chest of drawers in black-brown

I would put this at the foot of the bed for storage.

Wish List Wednesday: Baby Edition

I've been reading The Foster Family blog lately and she's been doing a Wednesday Wish List post. I'm excited to write my first one. This is her image and it should link back to her page.

Just because I'm so baby crazy lately. These are 5 of the things I desperately want when we have our firstborn!

1. a HUGE cloth diaper stash!!!

2.  Ju Ju Be Be Prepared Diaper Bag: It's big enough for twins or over packing moms (like I'm sure I will be)

3. Moby Wrap

4. travel system that matches and has only 4 wheels (no double wheels like most) or else a 3 wheel jogging stroller with matching car seat

5. completely matching bedroom! all pieces... bedding, bumper, wall stickers, lamps, etc.
