Packing my bags . . .

Ok, I am only packing one bag.  My hospital bag.  I have done extensive research and finally decided what to pack.  I also need to pack the baby bag.  I just don't know what to pack for the day I am supposed to leave the hospital . . .  yes, I'll probably be tired and sore and what not but I want Baby K to have the best first impression of his mommy.  My coming home outfit is going to be centered around the shoes.  V does not want me wearing heels but if they're going to wheel me down in a wheelchair anyway then what does it matter it's not like I'll be walking much and I have had no swelling.  So, I have my options below.  As a back up I am also packing the most comfortable pair of sandals I own, a pair of Gucci thong sandals that have been through so much with me the last few years.  The leather and the tassels are worn but they are still the most comfortable ever!

 

I'm 37.5 weeks and at my appointment today my doctor said: I'll see you in a week or sooner.  AHHH!!! I think he'll be here March 5, 13 or 18.  Not sure but he'll be here soon enough!

 

What do you think of my shoe options?

How not to celebrate Valentine's day

This year like any other year we are not celebrating V day. So I've come up with ways not to celebrate it.  First off let's start off with the obvious. Do not go to a fancy restaurant or any restaurant for that matter.  I have a Melting Pot gift card from December 2009 and we wanted to use it last weekend but why on earth did the Melting Pot start their Valentine's dinner fixed menu last week, we had to make a credit card or cash deposit . . . puh lease.  A week before Valentine's day? It's because they don't care about you and just want your money.   Needless to say we did not go and probably won't go for another 4 years.  Avoid the movies.  In 2008 one of my girlfriend's and I went to see Step up 2 on Valentine's day, we were both in relationships at the time but living in Miami alone so we decided to go to the movies.  Bad idea.  The theater was full of teenie boppers on dates.  Avoid buying gifts on or before Valentine's day.  You want me to get you a gift? Oh ok, I am going to go to Target on February 15th and get it on sale.  Better yet I am going to go to Target on February 15 and buy this year and next year's gift on sale.  That's what my mom does with wrapping paper.  Always buys after Christmas. 

Ok so what can you do? This year V day falls on a Friday.  You can have a karaoke party.  Granted people have to leave their house but if it's at your place then people can just show up in sweats and have a great ole' comfy time.  Here are two machines to choose from GPX Karaoke System with 5" Black-and-White Monitor or The Singing Machine.   Another thing you can do is bake A better than sex cake 2 because what else is better than sex on Valentine's day other than a delicious chocolate cake?! Yes, that orgasmic feeling is amazing but how long can it possible last . . . an hour or two then I'm maxed out man but cake . . . cake will last for at least 2 days.  You could also go to the gym, I bet it will be empty.  The perfect time to start on that resolution.  You can also have a game night, Cards against humanity, Cranium, Pictionary, Apples to Apples, Dirty Minds . . . to name  a few. 

I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week!  Remember the one thing you should not do is feel sorry for yourself or cry or feel depressed, it's just one more commercialized holiday so don't sweat it.

Flash back Friday: Pre-bump 'fits

It's funny how I used to think I was fat and now I'm carrying a human inside of me and I realize that "hey, maybe my body wasn't that bad."  I love my pregnant belly though and if you count the weight I lost and regained during pregnancy I have only gained 9 lbs! Yay, last time I checked at least.  I have 4 .5 weeks left we'll see how it goes!  I always gain weight on my face though so my face is getting particularly rounder.  AHHHH!
