Target while Pregnant

Have you ever gone into Target to buy one thing, and ended up leaving with half the store? Of course you have! Target is tricky. 

Shopping at Target while pregnant is one thousand times harder than normal! Yesterday I walked in with my list in hand... then my prego brain took control. I started wandering around in a happy euphoria. I lost my list. Purchased some items I’m sure were not on my list. And walked out of there with $60 less in our account and confused at what just happened. Ummmm, what!? Sorry husband, it's the baby's fault?!

Pregnancy-Week 19, Amazing vs. Awkward

The Amazing

1. Baby boy is growing healthy and strong! Husband and I had our first ultrasound a few weeks ago, where we saw baby boy moving all around, and literally waving at us! Our doctor said that he is growing right on schedule and is about 6 inches long now. Keep growing little one.
2. Pregnancy pants. Okay so up until today I really did not want to like any pregnancy clothes. I just wanted to wear my regular clothes and stick to maxi dresses, etc. However, my sweet mother-in-law gave me a pair of prego shorts for my birthday and I tried them on today. HEAVENLY! This wide-load pregnant mama is now a pregnancy pant believer. Who knew I'd cave so easily!?

The Awkward

1. I had a complete stranger rub my belly this week. Not just touch my belly, because that would have been awkward enough. She had both hands fully on my belly, rubbing in a circular motion for a full 30 seconds. I felt like I was a car getting dried off at the carwash!
2. Thinking I could squeeze by anything now! My truck was parked a little too close to a wall in our garage and I told husband, “No it’s fine, I can squeeze in!” Not even close. Husband looked at me with compassionate eyes that were really saying, “yea nice try babe. I knew you wouldn’t fit, but if I had said that you might breakdown into a crying fit, so I’ll just keep quiet.” He is oh so wise.

Windshield Wipers

Who knew how necessary windshield wipers were!? Oh wait, you all did? Everyone besides me in the world apparently knew. I’ve been using the same wipers for about 10 years now and over the last decade they have become less and less… helpful. However since I live in sunny Southern California I don’t need them very often so I didn’t notice they were unwilling to preform their duties. 

There comes a point when wipers are pretty much useless and you need to hang your head outside of the car, while it is raining, in order to drive. Lesson learned.

Ringing in the New Year

 

 

As you can see, my New Years Eve was ridiculously fun! Husband and I spent the evening with several of our favorite people. We played games, BBQ’d some delicious kabobs, laughed so hard our stomachs hurt, and of course took WAY too many photobooth pictures! Okay, okay... You're right... You can never have too many photobooth pictures.  I agree! How did you spend your New Years Eve?
