Trashy, Tacky, and Trashy

Pregnancy Piercings.

Who in the world would want to purchase one of the awful things? I saw an ad for these in a magazine and just had to share.

My favorite is sweetness. Classy.

J Crew @ TJ Maxx

I am jealous of anyone that is lucky enough to have J Crew shoes at their local TJ Maxx. So jealous, that I am willing to pay you to be my personal shopper. ANY J Crew shoes in a size 8.5 or 9 - I will take. Shoot me an email if you find any of these... I don't care about the color, style, etc.

House Tour - Part 1

I realized that I have never posted any pics of the house - probably because there was always that one last thing I wanted to tweak. So, as rooms become completed, I will post pics.

The back side of the family room has some great built in book shelves that we just finished getting organized. I have collected turquoise glass for a couple years now, so this is a great place to display some of that. I also went ahead and "baby proofed" the bottom 2 shelves - pretty soon these will be filled with toys, books, etc. All of the frames in the living room are black and/or silver - I do not like it when things all match, I would rather have them coordinate.

Puppy Love

This Saturday we are probably going to go look at puppy Golden Doodles. LOOK being the key word. As much as I would love to bring home a new puppy, the rational side of my brain snaps into gear and brings me back to reality. A puppy and baby at the same time? Maybe not a good idea.

(I had this breed picked out long before there was even talk of the First Dog..... Maybe we could have a puppy play date with Sasha and Malia)

If you have a dog and a baby, which came first? The dog or the baby?

I guess this does it for some guys…..

Last night, MM and I were having a great time at Starbucks, talking about everything from work to jewelry to pregnancy… until the creepy dude next to us started listening to our conversation. He then became obsessed with my pregnancy… wanting to know everything about these past couple months. Some of the best lines were:

- “So, do you just eat a ton?”
- “Do you drink, like do shots drink?”
- “Do you smoke? I have friends who are super smart and their moms smoked all the time when they were pregnant.”
- “How can you not find out the sex? You can do that?”
- “What do you think you are going to have? I think it is a boy.”
- “Like, you could have the baby right here in Starbucks”
- “Come March, I am going to think about the chick that I met in Starbucks and wonder how she is doing…”
- “The doctor said the head is where?”

I am surprised that he did not reach out and touch my stomach. Maybe be had a fetish for knocked up girls. Or maybe he was just feeling guilty because he said that he had to fire a pregnant woman at work the next day. Either way – creepy, yet slightly flattering and funny!

Martha Stewart vs. Mrs.Preppy

A Martha Stewart employee recently tipped off Gawker with a sneak peak inside their new offices. The domestic goddess would HATE my office.



I need stuff for my walls... the drab grey gets old after about 5 minutes.

She strikes again

We pass each other in the lobby and she stops and points at my stomach and starts laughing like a hyena. "Oh my gosh, you are huge!"

Someone else came to my defense and said that it was not too nice to make fun of the pregnant woman. And I agree. Not nice at all. I just ignored her.

You will be mine

I have mentioned how I am not going to purchase anymore maternity clothes. I am soo over them. That being said, I am now allowing myself to look at normal clothes and I love this dress.




It will be mine.



But the dilemma is -- what size to get? Do I purchase it in my pre baby size or go up a size or 2, then get it altered once I get back to a normal size?



It could be a goal dress -- I could wear it this summer when Baby M is baptised!

The dress is Ann Taylor Loft. Anyone seen any coupons floating around?
