So What Wednesday!

It’s So What Wednesday over at Life After I Dew and I’m linking up! This week I am saying SO WHAT if….

~ I'm still shaking my head at the Zimmerman verdict, I want to strangle all the jurors!  What if that was YOUR kid?!?!?  Would you still feel the same way?!?!  My household is divided over this, so I don't dare speak about it at my house!

~ Um, so yea, I went a little to hogwild and spent like $300+ on goodies for Delaney!  I'm trying to find a good way to tell Tim and then let him know at the same time that I will try my damned hardest not to do it again!

~ I'm rejoycing, I finally received a diagnosis for the severe pain I've been experiencing for the last month or so, symphysis pubis dysfunction, only 7% of women experience it during pregnancy and apparently ice and specialized prenatal PT helps to keep the pain manageable!  Until this kid comes out, I'm going to have to learn to live with the pain, awesome sauce!

~ I'm inpatient, I can't wait for my babyshower!  I need to know what everyone is going to buy me like now, or I'm going to spend all of mine and Tim's hard earned money on it all, lol!

~ I'm finally going on my first overnight camp/fishing trip with Tim and our friends since becoming pregnant!  The catch, I'm lugging all 20 million of my pillows in order to be comfortable.  Until you've experienced what I am experiencing right now, the only comfort you have at night is a million pillows stuffed every which way underneath you!

~ I'm envious of you ladies and your second trimester mack truck appetite and energy spurts.  I've got none of that!  I'm lucky if I'm ever in the mood to eat and don't have to force myself.  And this supposed extra energy I'm supposed to have during the second trimester, I really do need this, my house is disgusting, I'm too tired to clean and my husband refuses to help!

~ My husband and I haven't slept in the same bed together in months!  I am ashamed to admit this because I miss him dearly!!!  Due to my need of 20 million pillows, there is no place for him to sleep.  So it's just me, my prego belly, my 20 million pillows and Lillian (cat) to fend for ourselves at night!  Lillian has learned where to sleep in order to avoid my constant need to pee and of course my constant need to switch sides at night.

So... that is it for me on this darling Wednesday, what are you saying so what to?

So What Wednesday!

 
 
It’s So What Wednesday over at Life After I Dew and I’m linking up! This week I am saying SO WHAT if….
 
~ Tim and I just found out that we are having a....
 
GIRL!!!
 
~ Immediately after we found out, I started back pedaling on the name we already mutually agreed on like a year ago... At a time when kids were just talk and not a reality... I'm still just as enamoured today as I was then, but for just one gleaming moment, the name Brenleigh seemed so much more better!!!
 
~ Tim already put a kabosh on any pink baby bedding... And as if this wasn't scary enough... I totally agreed with him!!!  Our nursery colors are not conducive to pink... at all!!!  It was agreed that we should stick to gender neutral baby bedding just in case Baby McGuire #2 does end up being a boy!!!
 
~ But in all fairness, Tim did greenlight dressing the baby in all pink frilly tutu's so that was a fair compromise!
 
~ So in the beginning of my pregnancy I was adamant that the baby was going to be a girl...then all my friends started plaguing my mind with doubt and for the last couple of weeks I could have sworn baby was a boy!!!  I guess my gut instinct should be trusted!!!
 
~ Tim has been over the moon since finding out the baby is a girl and to be honest I'm shocked!  I thought for sure he would be all butt-hurt and disappointed... Tim has been very vocal about wanting a boy...so the fact that he can't quit smiling and calling our baby by her name... yea, that makes my heart melt!
 
~ Is it sad that I don't want to drop everything and go register for the baby now?!?!  As I was sitting waiting to be called for my ultrasound, I was actually looking at the Babies R Us Big Book for Babies (or something similar to that effect) that I actually became overwhelmed and started to hyperventilate!!  
 
~ My three biggest stressors right now are acquiring health insurance for the baby, daycare and coming up with all the goodies that the baby needs.  Tim and I, we are not flush with money and I doubt that we ever will be, but it is something that weighs on me every single day...
 
~ The baby, yea, she's a freakin stubborn little butt already... she's making me get a second ultrasound because she refused to unwrap herself from her hiding spot and let the doctor examine her heart and other organs... I don't know how to feel... on one hand I get to see her again, on the other, Tim and I already have our hands full and she's not even born yet, lol!
 
~ Oh and just in case you were wondering... Delaney Jacqueline... The name of our baby girl!
 
That is it from here this lovely Wednesday, what are you saying so what to?
