Out of Control

Does anyone have those days when they feel completely out of control?

I usually try not to post negative things because no one really cares about my all my negative thoughts and everyone has their own issues, but today I feel completely out of control. I hate waiting on other people or having to ask for favors. I know it is necessary at times and I try to remember that, but with this pregnancy I feel even more out of control. I have been having these awful pains in my right leg. I even made Bryan take me to the hospital Saturday night in fear that it was a blood clot, everything was fine, but now the pain is in my arm. It seems to be traveling around my body and I can't get rid of it. I can usually stretch or work out and get whatever pain to go away, but being prego really puts a damper on things like that. I have been stretching my arm so much I think I could pull it off at this point. Tylenol is kinda of a joke to me. It doesn't do much for me and I feel like I have to take way to much for it to work and then it will affect the baby. Also to add things to the list is the stupid second car we have today wouldn't start so Bradley didn't get to go to school and he is home with me all day.

Since I have been so negative I will post a positive. School is almost done and I did get my homework done this morning before our Internet decided to go in and out. So I don't have to worry about that for a little bit longer.

A couple funny things from Bradley

Bradley randomly says things that make me laugh. Yesterday while driving to the airport at night Bradley announced "Papa Nicks bring doughnuts" Last time my dad was here he bought Bradley doughnuts one morning. It has been months and I can't believe he even remembers.

Also whenever we go by DFW or near there, Bradley always asks "Take Daddy to the airport." Since we make the drive usually twice a week, I am not surprised, but last night when we were going to the airport Bradley announced "We are at Daddy's airport." So apparently Bryan now owns the airport. It was so funny because I tried to explain that it was a lot of people's airport and Bradley just "No, it's Daddy's."

Whenever there are commercials on TV for anything, a restaurant, toys, food or anything else he comes to me and says he needs it. The other day it was Red Lobster. It is usually Chuck E Cheese, but sometimes they are definitely things he DOESN'T need or ever will.

It's a girl!!

If I haven't told you already (sorry Gma and Papa) it's a girl and she has a name. We are naming her Alexandria Nicole. We will call her Alex and Nicole is after my dad. So far everything with the pregnancy has been pretty good. Everytime I go to the Dr she has a really strong heartbeat and everything looks good. I go for my 2nd trimester ultrasound on April 9th, so we will have new pictures then and they should be pretty good because I will be almost 22 weeks.

I got a call today from Bryan's grandma and she asked if she could make the blessing gown. I am beyond excited, she is amazing and I know this little dress will be absolutly adorable and something Alex will always treasure.

Bradley's New Computer

Bradley always wants to get on our laptops and we don't ever let him. So Bryan and I were talking the other day and decided we should Bradley his own computer. Bradley likes to call his cousins and talk so Bryan lets him use his cell phone. Today Bradley got his new computer and put it on Bryan's laptop desk that he uses and used Bryan's bluetooth to call his Aunt KK and his cousins. Besides not wearing anything but his underwear, he is ready for DealerSocket.

Baby Bedding Bought

So this is a very boring 100th post but here it goes.

I bought the baby bedding. I was totally planning on making it and spending way to much money and way to much time, but we (yes Bryan went to) went to Ikea today and while Bradley played in there little play area we got to look around. I got bedding that we both really liked and it was very reasonably priced. Although it is not anything like I was going for, it is super cute and the idea's are already running through my head on what do to in the room. The bedding is lime green and white hippos. It came with blankets that are a variety of colors, so we are going to pull out the pink in that and go with lime green and pink. Very different from anything I would normally go towards, but it is really cute and fun.

Fabric

This is the fabric that I like. I know there are more samples than I will use, but I like them all and this is what I am going for. I did find some bedding that I really really really like but it is $850.00 for the set, so I am back to making it.

Colors

So I totally know what colors I want to use and even found some fabric online that I really like. I know the pattern for the quilt is in the book YOUNG AT HEART QUILTS, by Julie Popa. So does anyone have this book I can borrow? I am willing to order it from Amazon, but would just like to borrow it if all possible. I know that making it will probably be a little more in the long run, but I will get what I want, in the colors I want and know I will like it. My mom is an amazing sewer and she offered to help (kinda). She isn't gonna tell me no, even if she really doesn't want to because I am prego and she loves me. I am thinking about ording material online or just looking for it at stores. There are some awesome fabric stores in Bakersfield and I am sure I can find some fun stores around here. Now all I need to do is focus on my school work, get that done and then I can spend my free time sewing.
