Baby names or bust :]

We picked out baby names today!

And I'm BEYONDDDDD ecstatic! 

We were having trouble coming up with stuff we both liked so we set today as the date to go to barnes & noble... look through every baby book and not leave till we found one for each sex that we LOVE <3

and luckily.. we did just that :] 

We decided to wait to share our baby names until we find out the sex.. besides close family & friends of course! So basically its taking everything I have not to blab (I'm horrible with secrets!!!) haha.

so hopefully I can hold out! 

Well that's all for now!

Have a fabulous day ;)

YAYYY!

It's officially the day! Our furniture arrives this morning! :] WOO HOO!
We woke up flat on the floor via air mattress with a hole in it for the LAST time

tonight my bed resting bootayyyy will be nice & cozy in our bed!
Thankkkkk gooodnessssss!

I've decided since this day is already heading in a fabulous direction I might as well keep it that way.
About to fry up some bacon for breakfast, make a starbucks run, and then jump in the shower
so I don't scare the moving people ;) haha

And I'm super excited that the rest of our nursery stuff will get here! Our basinett, crib mattress, swing, bouncer, temporary bedding *the bedding I'm going to use as my reference when I start trying to make ours*, cute little baby blankets, and all that jazz :) So I'm super excited! I love walking past the baby's room and it actually looking like a nursery. I just sit in there all the time day dreaming :) Hopefully I can drag my husband to Lowe's to finish my last baby project! It's gonna be so stinkin' cute!

Hmmm.. day to day life..

Not a whole lot is new. Jamey got a new tattoo.
It's a bible verse on his rib cage. It looks really good!

Now I'm just waiting for it to heal cause I just gravitate towards accidently touching it/hitting it/running into it hahaha.

Yesterday was a pretty awesome day. Super simple but we just had a really great time spending the day together :)

Well that's it for now

I'll be sure & post pictures after our stuff gets here!

Well last Friday baby & I had another ER visit exactly like the last time. And everything ended the same way as well... baby's healthy, I'm healthy, and they can't find any reason for this to be happening besides the fact that it's my first pregnancy and my body is just getting used to this change. As long as the baby's heartbeat stays strong, my cervix stays closed, and my hormone levels are continuing to rise then I can handle a couple scares. The only fun thing about all this was getting to see the baby... my little prince or princess actually looks like a baby instead of a blob! Perfect little arms and legs, strong heartbeat, and moving all around :) Ah, it was the best feeling in the world, I'm doing a horrible job of doing it justice. I can't wait for Jamey to experience it too.

Important Dates:

August 29th - Follow up appt. & first time Jamey gets to see the baby

September 8th - 2 year wedding anniversary

September 26th - FINDING OUT THE SEX <3

Well that's about it, just wanted to throw out these little updates!
Hope everyone is having a fabulous day!

I'll be here, trying to follow my bed rest rules haha

Hormonal meltdowns & other life updates

Well, we're at week 9 of my pregnancy! So far, so good:)

I'm so ready for a cute little bump.. I'm rocking that awkward stage where it just looks like I gained a few pounds haha, and that.. I am not a fan of lol. 

What's been new? Either my hormones are more out of whack this week or I'm crazy. hahaha

I seriously have the most uncontrollable urges to cry.. all.the.time. 

It's RIDICULOUS.

I know it's ridiculous, I actually think to myself "Seriously, Meghan? when I feel the tears coming on, but there is no control over it. And it happens everywhere!!! If I hear a sweet or sad song while I'm in a store, guess what? There is a good possibility I'm having a pep talk in my head to get myself together before making a crying spectacle of myself haha. This would be the time where an actual baby bump would come in handy haha. 

We got our Costco membership & I'm so happy we did! We're getting our meat, pastas, drinks, shampoos, basically stuff we go through a lot of and can buy in bulk and our first trip at Costco and going to Walmart to get our non bulk items chopped our normal grocery trip $$$ in half. And everything we got at Costco will last the month instead of 2 weeks, so I'm excited to see how much we spend (or don't spend!) on next payday :)

I'm about to lose my mind if we don't get our furniture soon. It's shipping out of Fort Hood tomorrow so hopefully it'll actually get here before their estimated delivery date of the 23rd. I'm so over this air mattress. It sucks. And I'm tired of sleeping, eating, hanging out, watching tv, and being on the computer all in the same uncomfortable place. My back is hating me more and more every day. 

Well I should get going. My house never seems to stay clean during the weekends so I've got a lot to do today. Here's to hoping this motivation lasts all day. 

Hooray for nursery stuff :]

We're ordering our crib, changer, and glider for the nursery this week
And next week we're ordering our dresser :)

I absolutely cannot wait to get our stuff
(yes, of course I must get it express shipped)
And set it all up!
Originially I was in love with white furniture! And I still am, but decided to go with espresso.
I feel like that goes with our house & our furniture more. So that's what we decided to get.
I'm so in love with every single piece <3

Our 2 year wedding anniversary is in less than a month
September 8

so we've been discussing our anniversary and what we want to do.
Usually I like for Jamey to pick out my gift on his own, I think it's more special that way.. but this time I was pretty specific! I have a lot of ideas for the nursery and a sewing machine would help out temendously! I really want to make my own bedding. The bedding I love is in the 300-400 dollar price range and I'm not an expert sewer by any means.. but how hard can a bumper, a sheet, and a crib skirt really be? I've made a blanket and a pillow before so I have touched a sewing machine a time or two... but it's probably going to take tutorial after tutorial to get down what I want. But the plus will be a totally custom bedding set for 1/10 of the price! And eventually I'd love to learn how to make other things so I think a sewing machine would be perfect for all the ideas I have! :) So, stay tuned for what I'm sure will be a hilarious journey into my inner sewing genius ;)

Now just to convince the husband to get me it earlyyyy :P haha

In other news..
I got all my stuff switched with Tricare!
They started to be a huge pain in my butt when they assigned me to the clinic I specifically asked not to be assigned to and THEN tried to tell me I wouldn't get my first ultrasound until I was 17-18 weeks! Yeah right! Especially after our ER scare, I would like a follow up ultrasound... and not 10-11 weeks after the incident! I know we got to see that baby was perfectly ok that night.. but I just want to be sure everything is still moving in the right direction. Not to be a downer ... but if it's not or if I were to miscarry.. I wouldn't want to go 17-18 weeks thinking I was pregnant just to find out on my first ultrasound that something was wrong. I just think thats insane. So anywayysss.. I went to switch to tricare standard (which involves co-pays vs. totally free tricare prime) and after a tear or two I got ahold of an incredibly nice woman who assigned me to a doctor off post and kept me on tricare prime! So all is well and in order which is great! I did some doctor research because I still have to get a refferal from my new primary care dr. to whatever OB I want to see and I'm between two doctors I've gotten multiple recommendations from. So I scheduled a new patient consultation with both, hopefully I'll really connect with one and life will be smooth sailing from here on out :)

Well... the Sons of Anarchy seasons are playing so I'm off to watch with Jamey.
Hope everyone has a great night!
