Our couch is here! Our free patio chairs are here too! They're quite nice and fancy....I'm impressed. AND our ottoman showed up! We weren't expecting it at all, james ordered it online it said 10-15 days, I swear it was here in three. Thx Costco!
All new furniture! aka all new stuff to climb on in Soras eyes! Omfg. The couch she jumps on, and she has the 'best' balance so shes more of a dangerous distraction while watching tv, but it's cute because she says 'thump' for jump. Ugh and she likes standing on the ottoman. Eesh! We also put up our mirror, some photos and james cleaned all the moving crap
Out of the kids room. So now our place feels like a home and less like a hotel. Ooo and the dinosaur upstairs moved out so I actually got sleep this morning! She'd usually get ready for work at 5am, but james usually wakes me up at 3am when he gets home and my body won't let me go to bed til after 12am.

blah!
im 95% sure this baby has 'dropped'....then I get a email saying Im 8 months pregnant.
crap
this is happening way too fast. I am freaking out. I spent pretty much all day in bed yesterday, I even cried. See...we are not ready for baby Angelo.... ready as in diapers, clothes, breast pump, detergent....place for him to sleep.... sigh..... James says I'm wanting to 'nest' and I can't so I'm overwhelmed. He said this weekend we are going to go gather things to make me feel better. Then I thought about having a baby shower...but the idea of putting it together myself overwhelmed me.
Sora's play room isn't put together and that stresses me out. SO I cried. I cried because I feel like I'm failing. I cried because my back hurts. I cried because the baby took my shampoo to play with and I can't find where she hid it so my hair is really gross and unwashed. I cried because James was supposed to pick up my pre natals and didn't even try and left it on me to call. its too much. (I ended up going this morning with Sora... to 2 CVS's because one didnt stock it and of course I got lost... more frustrations!!)
I also went to the grocery store loaded up on MORE fruits and veggies and not salty snacks...mostly to discourage me from eating a TON which I totally can do, but I did grab 2 boxes of freshly made COOKIES (on sale....it was a sign OK). but did pass on the cinnamon rolls you can bake yourself, like cookies...the chocolate covered mint cookies.....the salty chips....the blueberry muffin mix. (I had to think to myself, if I have these, Sora will want some and the image of her eating a cinnamon roll for breakfast..because I totally would give her one...made me think I'd have to take her to the park...but I can't run after her..but then I'd know there were cinnamon rolls waiting, TORTURING ME in the fridge)
While out on the road, I contemplated having a burger for breakfast....at 9am. I made a promise to myself...no burgers til after the baby.... i SWEAR they bloat me out!

I just want to be lazy!
I just want to lay in bed ALL day!!!
Today I tried to do that, I had Netflix set up on the computer for Sora, snacks, water, etc, and closed the door in the bedroom and tried to rest as much as possible. My back is killing me, I swear the baby moved lowered, I checked online to see how it feels when the baby drops.... I think I should go back and read my baby blog for a refresher.
I may be in panic mode. Last night we realized if the baby came early, we are not prepared! My cousin in Colorado sent her old baby boy clothes which was super nice of her. But anything and everything else we don't have. So this morning I did a registry on Amazon.com. Hopefully if we can get it together these next four weeks I'll feel better. Obviously we had other priorities. Maybe those can now take a back seat...and I'm SO over looking at furniture, especially after this gruling weekend of being outside in 90 degree weather waddling around malls. I'm starting to hate shopping unless it's for Sora. Actually I've been looking at furniture more for her then us... I just want her room to be ready so I can leave her in there with the door closed. ( I'm not joking, k maybe alittle)

another couch update
so........Thursday we get a email from Pottery Barn, it says its a "SHIPPING Confirmation" email.
wow. what the heck.
we didn't believe it...until we got a call from their delivery team.....we are set up for Wednesday. I would be excited....but I not going to believe it until my fat butt is sitting on it. Oh and James right now is watching a Vampire movie, drinking a beer on the FLOOR just blurted out "burrrrrp.... I should be sitting back sitting on my muther fc*king couch right now, aint this a b!tch" haha
He took us out to dinner last night, to Scotts Seafood on the River. There is a Scotts Seafood in San Jose. I always thought of it as a dump because its downtown and nothing fancy or 4 star worthy is down there. so needless to say, I had very low expectations going in to our date night, but I wasn't to look like poop! We left the baby with mother in law, valeted the car...and walked in.
Boy was I surprised! It was really nice inside, but not pretentious, well I didn't feel it was even though it was mostly older....older white people....like Housewives of Orange County had a 10 year reunion old...but thats OK because I wore heels. haha. 7 months pregnant... in heels SOWHAT
We were seated and the hostess laughed at me while I struggled to get into my low seat on the patio by the river. I said "dont laugh at me!" She said she wasn't, but she did, lol. I tried to talk to James while we were waiting for our other date buddies to show up, but there was this super uber douche bag who was being really loud and obnoxious! He kept loudly kissing his date and sucking all the saliva out of her mouth.
I ordered Crispy Prawns on a grilled pineapple. WOW heaven on a stick! They were very meaty, and I loved the pineapple...which I kept hacking into with my butter knife....because I'm a savage!
Our obnoxious neighbor had more friends show up, and Mr Douche from San Diego felt he more people to entertain so he became louder! But! finally James's friend shows up with his girlfriend....and I could just feel the "oh crap" tension in the air. See...his friend is a huge/tall black guy, he's a really nice guy, but he could be Kobe Byrants' younger brother. He must have intimidated him in some way cuz I barely heard a peep from him the rest of the night... James says a black man will do that.. lol
I ordered crab legs with mashed potatoes, green beans and carrots. It was sooo yummy and messy. It was great. It was nice to be able to EAT MY DINNER and not have to entertain, or keep the knives away from or fight with my little monster ohh and I could actually TALK to the people we were with! But mostly I was happy I could eat my dinner while it was hot, and not luke warm...it was a mini vacation. lol, because I was able to eat... lol :(
Then I indulged again...cheesecake for dessert! I went to bed happy and woke up in a good mood, I like having date nights with my husband. I feel reconnected and recharged in our relationship to be able to have that experience. We don't get to "date" very often, I realize its important to me so I don't feel like the pregnant nanny! We were good the whole day until we almost got into a fight over directions on how to get to Taco Bell.. wow huh....

Dear Pottery Barn
You effin SUCK!
Our 'dream' couch we've been eyeing since last December, the couch we've always stopped to test out everytime we went to the mall and pretended in our heads that the showroom was our living room and pretended to relax after a hard day..... is on backorder. It's not even a teeny tiny problem... It's a 3rd party problem! The company they use had an issue and now are back logged...even if it gets made (and I don't think it will) it should be here September 5, not August 2 like we were told. Plus there has been no communication of this delay from Pottery Barn
James is pissed. I'm more of a 'what can you do' shoulder shrug person myself... But I'm 7 months pregnant and sitting on the floor hurts my ass, back, lungs etc. Plus it the floor is eye level for Sora, and she likes crawling into my lap and can't get comfortable. So I'm
Not really happy, but don't know what to do. Good thing James is a champion complainer, after 3 phone calls, the last one was 45 minutes long, he got answers, a discount on our 'dream' couch, plus two PATIO chairs & cushions for free (to sit on while we wait) I'm proud of him, but I feel baD because this experience is less then 'dreamy'
