BIg changes in diaper bag land

I’ve hesitated to discuss this much as it seems like whenever people talk about stuff like this, or sleeping everything they said immediately turns to shit and they regret it.

Anyway you will all remember when I finally settled on a bag I stopped off at Target to purchase a couple goodies to go inside and one of them was this Spark by Skip Hop Changing Wallet.


You will remember I thought I was oh so clever because I could put Brandons diapers on one side, Codi’s on the other and squish the wipes between it then close it up and wala a great space saver in my diaper bag, and an easy way to grab out the diapers if I didn’t want to tote in the whole bag.

Well people big changes have happened!!!! I have made the decision (I am shaking with nervousness as I write this) to remove Brandon’s diapers from my diaper bag and instead place the wipes in the little netted area thus making a nice little changing station for Codi. Then if you remember I spoke about having one extra pocket left inside. WELL I decided to use that pocket to store undies for Brandon. YOU READ RIGHT THERE ARE NO DIAPERS FOR BRANDON IN MY DIAPER BAG! I was terrified to make this decision because to me it felt like I was just asking for him to become un=potty trained! So what I did was put extra undies in my bad and an extra pair of sweats for him in case we have an accident. There are actually two diapers for him behind the seat of my car in case of long trips or who knows what (like an emergency poop but no acceptable toilet around).

Now my little Skip hop bag is totally awesome and far more functional. I just hope that publishing that my two year old only wears a pull up at night to bed and not at any other time isn’t going to mean that he will suddenly start peeing all over himself and taking dumps on my carpet.

We had taken a bit of hiatus from potty training for a while when he was sick and my husband didn’t think he was old enough to train. But we went full blast again a couple weeks ago and so far so good. I hope it works out. We have had a few poopoo accidents but I fully think that is to be expected when he is so newly trained! So wish me luck!

I also wanted to take a second to direct you all to the Spark by Skip Hop brand at Target. The prices are ridiculously affordable and the quality is amazing.

They offer the changing wallet, which I think is genius and the diaper bag is also awesome and as far as I can see it is just as awesome as their overpriced Skip Hop bag on their website. You can buy both of these items for less then the price of a regular Skip Hop bag. So go now to Target, run, fon’t walk and pick one up now!

The clothes


As you can see this shirt looked like a damn tent on me..it went back


This shirt was huge and faded after the first wash but it’s comfy, these jeans are giant


This is one of the things I got when I returned the other stuff, it is not maternity


This is what I wore to work today, these jeans are super giant at the end of the day

This shirt was kind of cute so I let it stay. I got pissed and ordered the jeans I really liked from the store that they didn’t have in my size and they will be here tomorrow. I’ll take pictures in them if they don’t end up being too big!

You would think I’m pregnant or something

It seems like this baby must be growing or something…evidence of that???

  • Shaving my legs this morning was sooo not easy. I had to stop and stand up to breath between legs because my lungs were being crushed.
  • When I got to the bank yesterday my belly reached the counter before the rest of me and bumped it…that made me feel dorky.
  • I was just going potty and I ran out of toilet paper, I tried to bend over to get more and nearly died from lack of oxygen. I can see it now, woman passes out while peeing from giant pregnant belly.
  • Pre-pregnancy sweats no longer fit.
  • There is so little room that Codi has no choice but to place body parts strategically under my rib cage!
  • I can’t pull my keyboard drawer out as far on my desk
  • My belly kisses the steering wheel every morning
  • I can balance things on my belly
  • I go from starving to stuffed after about 2 bites of food
  • It takes me about 3 minutes to get out of bed, two to heave my body out and another one to make my belly follow.
  • I have to stick my butt out and lean forward to hug my husband
  • I can forget about laying on the floor and coloring with my son
  • I have no idea what my hair down there looks like
  • I haven’t seen my feet in months
  • Its easier to leave the mess on the floor then to bend down and pick it up

If your looking for the fashion show its not here keep looking

I finally got my clothes last night from Old Navy. I was so excited. Then I pulled em all out and whoah holy huge clothes batman. I ordered everything in my normal size and its as though Old Navy thinks pregnant women enjoy walking around in giant tent clothes! I started taking pictures but it all looked so silly I just gave up.


THESE ENDED UP LOOKING RIDICULOUS…FIT WEIRD AND NOT CUTE AT ALL.


THEY ONLY HAD THIS IN XL WHICH I DIDNT THINK WOULD BE A PROBLEM. BIG MISTAKE DAMN THING WENT DOWN TO MY KNEES AND LOOKED LIKE I WAS WEARING A BLACK PLASTIC BAG.


THIS THING…THE THING I WANTED MOST SERIOUSLY I’M PRETTY SURE IS ACTUALLY A DRESS. IT IS NOT EVEN SORT OF FLATTERING. IT WAS AWFUL, AND HIDEOUS AND I CAN’T IMAGINE IT LOOKING GOOD ON ANYONE AT ALL.


THIS WAS ACTUALLY A BROWN SEE THROUGH TENT. UGLIEST MOST AWFUL SHIRT EVER. I COULD HAVE BOUGHT IT IN A SMALL AND I WOULD HAVE SAGGED OFF ME.


FINALLY I GOT PISSED TOOK MOST OF IT BACK AND TRIED ON THESE PANTS. THEY FIT PERFECTLY! NOW AT LEAST. SO I WANTED THEM ONE SIZE BIGGER BUT THEY DIDN’T HAVE EM. WHICH WOULD HAVE MEANT I WOULD HAVE HAD TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO SPARKS TO GET EM, AND I WAS JUST SO FRUSTRATED AT THAT POINT I GAVE UP!

I ENDED UP WITH THREE CLEARANCE SHIRTS AND SOME JEANS THAT FIT BUT DON’T LOOK PARTICULARLY FLATTERING OR UNFLATTERING. WOE IS ME! I TOOK A FEW PICTURES OF THE OTHER STUFF AND THE STUFF I KEPT, AND I’LL UPLOAD IT TONIGHT!

Smart ass

Only because I am pregnant is it okay that my son is rolling things down my belly, stuffing things between my belly and my boobs and getting excited they stay, and balancing stuff on top of my belly! This better not continue after I have the baby!

My doctors appointment

First of all let me start by saying that Codi now has a birth date. Codi Daniel will be born November 16th 2007 if all goes right and the OR is available that day! I know that it is 9 days early but the doctor assured me that the baby will be big enough plus we will do an ultrasound to double check. What he also said is that he would rather do it early because if I contract at all then I can hemorrhage or have other very serious problems from the bleeding and clotting early in the pregnancy.

Also I have an ultrasound scheduled for October 1st to see how Codi is growing and to make sure the blood isn’t getting in his way! I gained too much weight for the doctors liking so to celebrate I ate some delicious chocolate. There isn’t much I can do about my weight since I’ve only been allowed to walk as exercise for a month now, and lets be realistic, who is going to go walking when its 4000 degrees outside HMMMMMMMM! I have been eating pretty well and since I had just lost 30 lbs before getting pregnant I’m not even worried about losing weight again now that I know mentally I can do it!

Other then that Codi’s heart was great. My blood pressure is still totally below what it should be so clearly that isn’t a worry. I waddled over and pre-registered for the delivery and in a week I go take my glucose test.

All in all it was a good appointment. I go back in two weeks. 81 more days people 81 holy shit!

MIND FUCKED

I had a dream last night. I’m going to tell as much of it as I can remember first then I’ll tell you my totally fucked up way of interpreting it.

In this dream I was holding a little baby. I had the oven preheated and for reasons I can not remember for the life of me I had to put my child in the oven. Something in the dream kept telling me it was best and it was the right thing to do. So I pulled out the oven rack and put my little baby on the rack and he started screaming from pain and wiggling and I had to shove him in and close it real fast. I walked away and went into the bedroom with Rob to sit and wait. I was relieved the baby wasn’t crying but then right when I started feeling relief we heard screams. Rob went to get the baby and I kept pleading with him that it was what we had to do, we had to leave him there, even though the whole time I wanted him out. It right at this time that I woke up thinking what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck.

My first thought was that it was Brandon. But then I realized this may have been my very first dream about Codi. I’m mad now that I couldn’t make my mind look more at the baby so I could see if it was Codi. What really upsets me about this dream aside from the sheer horror of it that won’t go away, is how I interpreted it. Since I went to the hospital I kept feeling like I am going to lose Codi. Either before he’s born or right after, like shortly after. Now I’m wondering if this wasn’t my bodies way of agreeing with me and if the oven didn’t symbolize me having to cremate my little son. I have always had major issues with cremation because my dad was cremated. Because of that I kept having these horrible visuals of burning the body of someone you love. I always freaked out until I had a kid. Then I knew I could never bury my son if he died because he needed to still be at home with me as that was all he had known. I knew also that if I were to lose Codi now, I would do the same. So now, all I can think is it was a premonition of sorts telling me I’m going to have to cremate this child and I’M LOSING MY FUCKING MIND PEOPLE. I feel as if him screaming and us wanting him out is because we didn’t want to let him go and believe he was gone but I knew in the end we had to do it because it was the better place. The problem is that now I’m stuck with images of my screaming child in the fucking oven and I can’t get them out of my mind. I don’t even have to close my eyes they are just floating there in front of me.

I just want this to go away. I hate this dream. Why would I have such a horrific dream if it wasn’t meant to symbolize anything? I have so many other things that are happening that keep telling me I won’t have this kid, like he hasn’t hiccuped yet. Brandon hiccuped at least 5-6 times a day. All I keep thinking is the lack of hiccups mean my baby isn’t even trying to learn to breath.

Seriously people, I never entirely let you in on my crazy but dude….this is a shit storm of crazy and I just want it gone. The worst part is my husband was out of town and I couldn’t even wake up and tell him!
