A first

I had my six month OB appt today and guess what I was told?...TO GAIN WEIGHT! They are a little worried that I've only gained 4 lbs so far, but as I keep reminding them I wasn't a stick to start out! I think that if I hadn't changed my eating habits and soda intake than I would have put on WAY more than 4 lbs, but since I did I'm losing unhealthy weight and gaining baby weight which equal eachother out.

Other than weight issues baby is great and I'm finally good most of the time. By the end of the day I feel like I can't catch my breath for anything but very minor compared to how some women feel at this point.

I've been counting down days to go home and see the family and to FINALLY have a Miles' baby shower =)

A post not about the baby, being pregnant or nursery...WOW!

But it is a typical topic on here...SCHOOL! Sorry, but I've learned that it is better to just get it out and move on with life =) Soooo here it is,

I have been trying to transfer colleges to the one out here Menifee since our offer was expected (last July-August time frame)! I didn't hear ANYTHING from them till October but with all the closing delays no biggie. I finished up my last semester at San Diego and thought that I would be good to transfer for atleast the fall semester, but nope! For whatever reasons not all my paper work didn't come through on time so I did ANOTHER semester in San Diego while living up north an hour!

So come spring semester (Jan) I have called, gone in, and talked to every last person that could help me I thought okay now I'm good, but again NOPE! This time around I didn't get a registration appt! But with Brandon deploying and me being pregnant I thought whatever I'll take a semester off, so that's what I'm doing now. Here's the kicker, for whatever reason I got a grant for $4000 that I didn't know about and now wont be getting since I'm not in school...bummer...who doesn't love getting paid to go to school?

So I decided that I'm done with the waiting game with this school and I have already started calling everyone up there to make sure that I will have everything in line so come fall semester I will be back in school and (fingers crossed) getting another grant!

I blame the progesterone

Yesterday I had finally had enough with trying to find matching decor with the bumper that I fell in love with and even painted the nursery to match so I packed it all up and RETURNED it! Crazy I know but it was really stressing me out and now I have picked a new set that I don't love as much but it has every piece that I need and I wont stress...that is tell I get it delivered and realize that I have to repaint the nursery!

Anyways here is the new set...


and here it is with all the decor...


I'm not a fan of animal and sport themes being the only option for boys BUT we all know how much Gavin LOVES "long necks" and he is excited for this set. I'll post pics once it is delivered and set up

oh I also FINALLY decided on a crib (won't get into how sad I am that I have to get a new one again) here it is...


once we get back from WA for our spring break trip and my baby shower (yay!) I will be ordering all the "big" items (aka pricey one, lol)

Rocking Nursery Chair

I'm in love...



Perfection for the nursery, chocolate brown...even sounds yummy!
