I Splurged...

...on baby fashion. This morning I ordered my diaper bag from Nordies!! I am sooooo excited about it! Every year for my birthday I get a gift card to Nordies from a good friend and for a while, I had no idea what to do with it. I don't usually shop at Nordies much but as the years passed I have now come to really embrace the Nordies gift card now that I have discovered their shoe and purse departments! I now have a tradition each birthday to look for a new purse or pair of shoes that I normally wouldn't buy. In my current state, I am not up to wearing high heels nor do I really need a new purse so my attention turned to another department, the baby department. And that is when I discovered the diaper bags.

The moms on my forum were talking about "the best" diaper bags and two names unfamiliar to me popped up. According to these ladies, a gal just needs to get a Petunia Pickle Bottom or JuJu Be diaper bag. I googled the names to see what all the fuss was about and it looked like some high falutin' bag to me. But then, I noticed they could be bought at Nordies (and I just so happened to have a fresh gift card ready to be run through the credit machine) so I took another peak at these fancy bags and after looking at all the varies shapes, sizes and features, I just fell in love with this diaper bag!!!

Called the Petunia Pickle Bottom Cake - Hampton Holdall Diaper Bag...



The name alone, "Cake" reminded me of a tea party (the ones I used to have with my grandma) and all the tea parties I am gonna have with "my daughter." (I can't help but love saying the word "daughter." I think I have told everyone this week about "my daughter.") Not to mention, the bag will forever remind me of all the great pieces of red velvet cake I have eaten lately (thank you, Sprinkles, Larchmont Bungalow and hubby's sushi red velvet cake).

Anyhow, it's such a splurge, but I think us girls need to treat ourselves every once in a while. I am not going to be buying any high falutting shoes or purses for a while so why not splurge for a diaper bag which I will be using for 3 years!! Anyhow, I can't wait to get it!!!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
