Meet "Sophie the Giraffe"

Once Upon a time, a simple story….




The Little giraffe was born on the 25th of May in the year 1961… St Sophie’s day! In those days, the only animal toys available were farm animal or pet figures.. That is why one day in France, a certain Monsieur RAMPEAU, who was an expert in transforming sap from the HEVEA tree using the rotational moulding of rubber as a toy-making concept, came up with the idea of designing a giraffe. Such an exotic wildlife figure would be a first on the market, and its size and shape would be ideal for a baby’s small hands to grasp. SOPHIE is still “traditionally” produced to this day, a process that involves more than 14 manual operations. She is made from 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Hevea Tree.

So I must say diapers.com is my new favorite online store! And babysteals.com and zulily.com :)

Just had to share :)

Making her way thru produce.....

Thanks to babycenter.com :)

Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.

Butternut squash eh?? Nice. I feel like it was yesterday when she was just a blueberry :) So with Lillianna's progress you may be wondering about mine. Progress that is to my mile long list of "to do's" before November comes and gos!

Today.

 I did sign up for my birth prep classes :) they begin September 17th :)

Register @ Hospital- hoping to get a tour too if I'm lucky! I'm not feeling the "group tour" situation.

7 Months :)

hello there. :) So I'm in shock. I'm 7 months ( 28 weeks ) pregnant today and I find it hard to believe. But, things are coming along. We now have a crib, changing table and dresser. Things we need to still accomplish are as follows.

Paint!

Find cute baby decor to make room all cute and cozy.

Buy ( or receive *wink wink* ) a Glider :)

Plan baby shower.

Get Carseat/stroller combo.

Sign up for childbirth classes.

And I'm sure there are more things I'm forgetting. I am a little forgetful these days.

Here I am! Or half of me anyway :)

And here is Lillianna Grace at 19 weeks :)

Tim took this of me in Lake Chelan. All nice and tan..I believe I'm 24 weeks :)

haute mama.. :)

How cute is this???

Diaper bag? Check.

so. I'm thinking I should blog in the evenings. Because I can't seem to fall asleep because my mind is racing. There is so much that go's into having a baby. So the nursery doesn't magically appear? With the diapers all tucked away in little baskets with bows, the walls painted a soothing mint green?, you mean to tell me I actually have to plan and then somehow purchase these things? Well, I have about 5 and a half months to somehow come up with everything :) I'm trying to plan accordingly. I'm thinking once I know the babies sex it'll be easier to plan. That way I'll know if I want the girly chandelier or some boyish light hanging thing :) I suppose everything with come together somehow....

Poof! See it's magic :)

my wish list

so. I do have a few things i'd like. here it gos.


1. Pregnancy pillow. ahhhh. yes.

2. a bra that FITS! :)

3. a tan. golden brown. nothing to crazy.

4. burger king onion rings with jack n the box buttermilk sauce. sweet sweet happiness.

la la la...

So I thought I'd post a new picture of myself. Loving the lighter hair. Back to my true self! ( Bathroom photo shoots are always the best!! ) xo...

my first true love...

Last night I couldn't get my miscarriage off my mind. Even though it has been almost 3 years it's still hard on me and I feel a special bond, that I will forever. I think about it all the time, especially around what would have been his/her birthday. This is my letter....


" Dear my sweet sweet angel. You would have been 3 years old in just a couple of days. This year has been hard for mommy.....wishing I could have felt your soft baby skin...kissed your tiny baby toes. And singing to you in my arms as you fell asleep on my chest. I think of you everyday, and love you more then you know. What gives me peace is knowing that you are in Heaven...safe...warm...and loved. And that I'll get to meet you someday. Just know I've liked you for always, I've loved you forever...as long as I'm living my baby you'll be. With all my heart ~ Mommy

Twenty Ten...

So, it's " twenty ten " ( I suppose that's the "in"thing to say ) All though whats wrong with saying 2010? Anyway, my world has been turned upside down. I'm no longer working at Sul mare' Salon. No longer living in Gig Harbor in my beautiful apartment overlooking the water. And no longer financially secure. shoot me. So, you might be wondering, if there is any good news. Well heres the down low.

Working at Target Optical - learning the ropes

Living in Lacey with the rents

Loving the nights I get to spend with Antony

Trying to be ok with being broke.

loosing over 10 lbs due to stress.

my more "blondish" hair :)

I've also been wanting to blog more. ( it's about time whats it been like 5 months?) sheesh. But, I feel that I have more negitive things to write about then positive. For instance. Facebook. I don't care if somebody is walking there dog, or just ate a carrot, or is getting in their car, or driving in their car. It really bothers me and I feel that people are WASTING their time. Also, the "What are you doing" updates that read ( xoxoxo I LOVE my life, everything is perfect. I'm sooooooo lucky woooooohooooo!!!! hearts hearts hearts ) Seriously GAG me. Nobody is that happy and if they are they don't feel the need to RUB it in everyones face.

Ok. The rant is done. But thats how I feel.

Hmmmm....better finish my room temperature diet pepsi. ahhhh my life.
