Some new things :D

I know my friends keep telling me that I'm buying too much stuff or making too many things for Lilah but I swear I havent really bought anything. And the only things I've made have been for her room or her hair!

I took a few photos of some new gifts and things for the nursery that are currently some of my favorites!

 Shoes! Oh em gee how cute are these?

My poor child will probably hate Ellies!

These are just two of my favorite outfits! My sisters boyfriend 

gave us a $50 giftcard for Baby Gap. This is what we got!

Yay for baby rompers!

My mom has become quite crafty herself.

She made this valance. Sooooo pretty!

The lady at the front desk at my work got us a $50

giftcard to Babies R Us. This is what we got!

Changing pad and cover. We also got some bottles off my registry as well!

 I painted the mobiles plastic stand thing. It was white which stuck out like a sore thumb.

I think it looks sooo much better now. Plus I added a little bow :)

Okay now I DID buy these. But they were on super sale

and were so cute I couldnt pass it up!

Top 2 Tuesday!

Top 2 Outfits you are LOVING for Spring!

Let me first start by saying this was R.E.A.L.L.Y hard for me. To be honest I hadn't even really thought about what I would be wearing this spring, seeing as I'm nearing 7 months pregnant. I guess I'll be looking for comfort and well.... anything that will fit! It's really hard to find anything you LOVE while being soooo pregnant!

1) Always a Spring favorite of mine: Maxi Dresses

2) Cute babydoll dresses or long tunics with leggings. 

I have no self control these days. I blame Lilah

When I first found out I was pregnant I immediately ran to the scale to document my "pre-pregnancy" weight. I've never been one to obsess over how hard gravity held me down, but I think with knowing I would be gaining weight, I've been in a constant state of panic about those dreaded L.B.S! I keep telling myself "I don't wanna be one of those women that gain 60 lbs". But I feel I have no control over this situation. Lilah has already taken over!

In the beginning I was so sick that eating was not even an option so my scale stayed steady. But now that I'm feeling rather fantastic, I can feel little Lilah yanking on the umbilical cord demanding some major nom!

I eat pretty much the same way I did before. I haven't noticed that I eat any more or less. I still pretty much like the same things I did before, minus the sweets. Still can't do sweets! (Hope this doesn't mean Miss Priss will be a sour puss)

I keep getting asked if I've had any cravings. I never know how to answer this question. Do I lay in bed at night and think "dang I must have some fried chicken right now" then the answer is no. If while I'm out and pass by Back Yard Burger and smell the deliciousness and think "okay that smells REALLY good so lets go through the drive thru" then the answer is yes. I don't really "crave" anything. I just want food.

I don't know what it is about being pregnant but I swear food taste better. Maybe it just heightens your senses, but food be GOOD!

Here is a list of my current obsessions:

• Chinese Crab Rangoons - I LOVED these before I got knocked up, but I could eat this everyday all day long. I.Cant.Get.Enough!
• Fruit Popsicle's - I still don't like ice cream, but give me a Popsicle and I'm a very happy lady. I like the packages that come with orange, grape, and cherry. I will admit (kinda embarrassing) I eat two every night before bed. 
• Chocolate Shake - I know I said I don't like ice cream, and I  DONT, but recently I've been having a secret relationship with a chocolate shake :)
• Sonic's Diet Dr. Pepper with Vanilla - Can we say YUM??
• Mc Donald's Sweet Tea - Nuff said right here!

Overall I feel I'm doing pretty good. I'm definitely not depriving myself, but I'm not over doing it either. It's just hard to feel okay about gaining weight. It will all be worth it in the end when I finally get to hold her and look into her big beautiful eyes!

Taylor's Top 2 Tuesday......err Wednesday ;)

I have been so swamped at work that I didn't have time to do my blog yesterday. I figure better late than never, right?

  The topic is: Top 2 Favorite Items for 2010

1. My iphone.  I had a blackberry before and I really liked it, but then when my dad got the new iphone 4, he handed me down his "lightly used" one. I didn't even care that it wasn't brand new, it was a FREE iphone :) I love all the applications and games. I really enjoy my facebook being at my fingertips! I'm a total FB junkie!

 

   

2. My Dyson. This may sound silly but I really love my vacuum. It was a Christmas present from 2009 and the highlight of my year. If anyone knows anything about me, it's that I'm a bit of a neat freak and the Dyson is a total enabler! 

 

It was really hard to pick only two. There were lots of things I loved in 2010. Here is a list of the runner's up:

1: My vanity mirror. I got it for my birthday (in December) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I didnt count this due to the fact that I only had it 2 weeks in 2010. 

2: My camera. Yet another "hand me down" from my dad. It's amazing though. He got himself a really nice professional grade camera and when I "borrowed" his old one and hadn't returned it for almost a year he told me I could just keep it! 

3: Picnik! I didnt include this as its nothing I own, but rather a website I frequent :) Check it out, it's amazing!
