Meme and Lulu (and Coaster Boy too)

8 months

2012-01-27T12:15:00.000-08:00

Briggs.
You are officially 8 months!
32 weeks old!
The size of a small pineapple!
17 inches!

Your daddy was amazed this morning at how your hiccups are so much stronger than they used to be. I love when he feels you move and says "did you feel that?" He's so in love with you already. We both are.

Your sister is getting pretty excited too, she already has your first girlfriend picked out and really LOVES hearing your heartbeat.

I'm sleeping pretty dang good.
Sugar is still my biggest weakness and your corner of the room is almost done!

My wedding ring is starting to get a little snug. My feet a little puffy and my cheeks, well, ummmm a little full.
And you see the only maternity jeans I'm wearing below (from Sissy) well I ripped them in half in the bootay.

Yep, that is all for you little guy....my little love nugget.

Big Day

2012-01-26T16:39:00.000-08:00

I just received this email letter after completing a very intense driving test online.

I am now an approved Van Pool Driver.

I really hope Jerry, Parul, Fatith, Caroline and Rohit enjoy my driving skills.

One bummer is, I can't wear perfume or drive with my knees. .

3 to 1

2012-01-24T22:21:00.000-08:00

I know of 3 little baby girls arriving in the month of March.

Amanda AKA Beav due March 8th = Girl
Beth AKA Brixen due March 21st = Girl (Hannah Rae)
Andi AKA Jordan's mom due March 31st = Girl

Then we got Briggs.

He's gonna have his hands full. No pun intended...what so ever.

Free shipping is really getting to me

Booby Feeding

2012-01-20T16:22:00.000-08:00

I keep thinking about this.

Because I'm a little terrifed.

Because I know how bad it hurt last time with Lu.

For the first month I cried. A. Lot....then of course it got better and the little nugget latched on for a good solid 9 months.

But this time. I'm scared. Really. Scared.
Maybe cuz I know how it feels.
Or cuz I don't think I'll be able to do it since I had a little boobie job (don't judge).

So, I've been prepping my nips with the nip cream (as Joc suggested) hoping this will help with the first initial suckles.

I'm not scared for this bad boy to come out of my va-gi-gi. But I'm terrified of the booby feeding. And for some reason, whipping my knocker out from my shirt in public isn't something I'm really looking forward too either. With Lu, I could care less...perhaps because I was in Spain and titties where everywhere?

Hooter hider....

Any words of wisdom?

My Office

2012-01-20T11:33:00.000-08:00

This week, I have thoroughly enjoyed working from home.

I could sit in this little corner of my room everyday

(if my Internet wasn't so stinkin slow).

It's bright, cheery, cozy...

I don't have to wear a bra.

Lulu delivers my water

and makes me hot chocolate.

xoxox

I'm loving

2012-01-19T13:16:00.000-08:00

Today, I'm loving these two mobiles.

So simple and dreamy.

I could totally stare up at these and fall fastly asleep without crying {right Briggs?}.

{Instead of the tree branch, I would have a little wire/pole}

LOL

2012-01-19T08:22:00.000-08:00

I'm laughing, still laughing.

I just sent out an email to all that need to know at work (which is kind of a lot and includes some kind of important people, not that I'm important).

SUBJECT: WTF Meghan - 1/19/12

DYING.
I meant to say WFH (working from home. NOT what the f#ck).I tried to recall it, but what an idiot.

I'm going stir crazy.

Literally.

I can't sled. I can barely take a walk outside without falling on my butt. And the only snow gear that fits me is for a 225lb man.

We did however, have a little chili and hedbanz last night...which is always fun.

I love these girls. Mucho

Progress

2012-01-18T13:46:00.000-08:00

While we are snowed in.

We put together this little ditty.

And ohhhhh how I love it.

And waking up this morning and seeing it sitting in the corner of our room brought a little smile to my eyeballs.

Mattress should arrive this weekend.

I need a crib skirt.

And some sheets and his little cribolia will be done.

Now, on the search for a perfect mobile.

Cars? Trucks? Stars? Rockets? Skateboards?

Quicky

2012-01-17T21:53:00.000-08:00

Just a quick little sledding/igloo making trip to finish off a busy day at the office {see post below} errrr couch.

It's supposed to snow 8 inches tonight.

Bring it.

Classic.

WFH

2012-01-17T13:01:00.000-08:00

Working From Home.

This is what our house hold looks like right now...while Ari gets stuck at school!

Make shift office in the kitchen since Brigg's nursery is slowly taking over our room.

xoxox

Every time

2012-01-16T20:01:00.000-08:00

I pick up Lulu from a slumber party there is always something new to learn.

Today when I picked her up, she had new red highlights.

I kind of like them.

$14

2012-01-15T16:07:00.000-08:00

See her cuteness shoes?

Well, I got em, at Target...for $14 bucks. YES, 14 dollars.

Love em. Can't wait to wear them with the only thing that fits me right now.

LEGGINGS!

Press On

2012-01-14T22:19:00.000-08:00

Lu's been wanting fake nails for...ever.

So today we got her some broadway dive nails.

Before tucking her into bed, I asked her how she is going to play bball with them on.

She said since I put so much glue on them, she had no idea.

I don't remember lee-press-on nails having glue?

Just little sticky tabs?

30 weeks

2012-01-14T21:36:00.000-08:00

Briggs (your name hasn't changed, yet) you are the size of a head of lettuce...something you know very little about because vegetables just haven't been mine or your friend the last 8 months.

You are crazy active. And I love watching my belly move around all day long.

Today your hiccups (which you get several times a day) where not low...they were high. Did you flip?

My stomach feels like it can't stretch any bigger...although I know it will.

I've gained 20lbs and let's just say 14 of those, I swear are in my boot-tay.

We got your crib and I can't wait to set it up! I'm nesting big time, I was vacuuming this morning at 8:30am.

You my little dude, with your hiccups have made your momma feel very blessed.

Restriction

2012-01-12T12:49:00.000-08:00

This little lady was put on phone restriction.

While having a little sleep over with one of her best buds, they decided to do a little pranking.
Which we've all done and I'm totally ok with it.
However, when she called me at 9:15pm to drop off her charger because her phone died...I had to ask why?
Because you keep pranking everyone?

Lulu: Nooooooooo, I only called Zebby

Funny cuz Auntie and Uncle swore they got calls from Justin Bieber and Salena Gomez.

Lulu: Nope, I only called Zeb.

Hmmmmm.

I later found out that Jordan was the one calling auntie and uncle not Ari, so technically she wasn't lying.

WRONG.

She gets her phone back tomorrow.

childbirth

2012-01-11T15:25:00.000-08:00

Please watch this. It will make you laugh...hard. Seriously, watch it.

Tonight, Coaster Boy and I (along with L Tizzle and Beav) attend our first birthing class.

{yes, birthing class. It's been awhile since Lu was born and Zeb needs to know how to tell me how to push just like Bill Cosby}

I'm really looking forward to the 1970's film of natural childbirth.

It's like hair coming out of hair (my favorite line from Up All Night)

For all your momma's who gave/gift birth naturally. I applaud you. HUGELY. I will be drinking my epidural down with a vat.

Mascara

2012-01-10T10:36:00.000-08:00

Do you all wear mascara everyday?

I used to be the girl who wouldn't leave the house without it....

And lately (EVEN TO WORK) I haven't been wearing it.

{perhaps because I work with a bunch of Engineers?}I'm kind of loving it.

My eyeballs feel so fresh and clean.

What kind of mascara do you use?

Do you put it on the bottom?

Game 1

2012-01-08T22:13:00.000-08:00

It was pretty fun.

The Slime AKA Thunder. Won. Or so we thinnk they did. No one really knows. There isn't a scoreboard.

And the coach. Wowsers. He's hot.

Auntie showing Lu some bball moves

Coley!

The kid can dripple

Coley's turn

Coley got a couple to his face.

Look at these eyeballs.

Bags

2012-01-08T21:13:00.000-08:00

Full of clothes, shoes, stuff animals, toys, a computer screen, hats, books, JUNK.

Adios!

All dropped off at the Good to the will.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh my closet feels so fresh and clean.

Remember Lulu

Must Haves

2012-01-04T14:21:00.000-08:00

OK, alright...I just registered.
Said I wasn't going too, but after viewing my friend's registry that was full of only clothes I decided I should go ahead and bite the bullet and register away.

After about 1 hour...I've added three things.

1. Changing pad (travel bed to Zeb)
2. Changing pad covers
3. Multi use changing pads

I'm a super minimalist. I don't like things on the counter. I throw away a lot of stuff...weekly. Clean out my pantry monthly. You get the idea.

So spill the beans. What are your MUST HAVE baby items. A lot has changed in the last 9 years.

What was it you couldn't live without, made your day easier...baby loved...that kind of thing. I'm not talking about the baby teether or the play mat or activity gym. That is what Lulu is for...:) teehee.

Slimy

2012-01-03T19:57:00.000-08:00

Every Tuesday and Thursday night from 6-7pm these two little lulu's head out to b-ball practice.

Their first game is Saturday.

Can't wait to see Coach Coaster Boy yelling from the bench at his team named THE SLIME.

Bring it

2012-01-03T17:45:00.000-08:00

6lbs in 2 weeks.

That is 3lbs a week, people.

I asked my doctor if that was a record.

I also realized last night was the first night (since I've been knocked up) that I didn't eat one cookie (or 6), no ice cream, or pieces of candy, not one bite of chocolate, I didn't even have hot chocolate with 40 marshmallows, or spoonfuls of nutela.
I actually just ate my dinner and was done...for the first time in 7 months!

{I did have a bowl of ice cream and about 6 oreos after lunch though}

So my goal for the remainder of this pregnancy is to eat all my junk before 5pm. So if I want a gigantic bowl of cookies & cream with 6 oreos crumpled on top I can help myself...before 5pm.

I'm hoping that helps my rapid weight gain.

And since I refuse to buy maternity clothes. This is one of my four outfits that I will be wearing until March 23rd.

Please note, Briggs's room coming together behind me.

His changing table and dresser.

Snuggled right up next to my bed.

WOOT WOOT.

The Mountain

2012-01-02T17:51:00.000-08:00

We bundled up.

We set forth to the sledding hill.

We weren't the only ones.

So we took some pictures.

And more pictures.

And some self timers.

He's a really hot mountain man.

She was in heaven. My little snow angel.

We made our own make shift sledding hill.

Look at that face!

I wore Zeb's clothes.

Jeans. Belt. Sweatshirt. Jacket.

Talk about snow bunny.

Love this of Lu.

My hot mountain man again.

I asked Ari if she could live somewhere sunny, like Hawaii so she could swim all the time or someplace snowy where she could play in the snow, SHE PICKED the mountains!

This girl LOVES the snow.

Happy New Year my dear bloggies.

Wishing everyone a year full of laughter.
