Dear Store Clerk.....

Dear Motherhood Maternity Store Clerk,

I just wanted to tell you a few things.
Its nice that you greet me when I come into the store, but leave me alone after that. I don't want you to ask what I am looking for today, or if you can help me find anything. I just want piece and quiet. I didn't come so you could be my personal shopper. I WANT TO PICK OUT MY OWN CLOTHES!
Please don't come by and grab each and every item of clothing out of my hand as soon as I pick it up to put in a room for me. And then add 2 shirts for every one shirt that I pick.
Please don't suggest sizes to me.....when I say I want a large, thats what I want. Yes, I realize I fit in a medium right now but I still have 2 months to go and want my shirt to fit comfortably, not skin tight.
When I say I don't wear tank tops, please stop picking them out for me to "just try on". And don't say, "Well it's summer and its pretty hot outside." Yes I realize its hot but that doesn't change it for me. The same goes with shorts.
Sales lady.....just because you think something is cute and you have it in every color, doesn't mean I like it. They have different styles for a reason.
When I go over to look at the bras please don't hover. Or ask me what size I wear. Why not just ask me how much I weigh too.
And one last thing.....when I go to check out don't be so snotty to me and ask what was wrong with ALL the shirts I tried on. Because really I only tried on the 3 I picked out, the other 7 I left on the hanger. And don't ask me 4 times am I SURE I don't want to try anything else on....because at that point in my shopping adventure I will be so ticked off that I may give you a piece of my mind.....your lucky I didn't today.

By the way.....I will go ALL the way across Tucson to the other store from now on, or make sure you aren't in there.

Sincerely,
Nicole

26 Weeks

Here is my 26 week information......baby is still an eggplant.




Baby's now the size of an eggplant!
Baby's soaking up your antibodies, getting her immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and she'll soon be practicing the blink...perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.


Weight Gain: Not sure.....can't be too bad yet.

Sleep: Please?! Not so bad, but I feel the need for more.

Name: Still nothing. And really I don't mind not having anything yet. We will know it when we hear it.

Food Cravings: Nothing too crazy. I wanted pasta so Jeremy and I went to the Outback to eat last week......holy heartburn.

Best moment this week: Going to see Date Night with my husband....good movie. And discovering the best cupcakes ever!

What I miss: sleeping in, wearing my pj's all day.

What I am looking forward to this week: So many things! Jeremy and I going to be ushers at the Gila Valley Temple, going to the temple open house with our family, and getting away this weekend at Jason and Heidi's house....

I did have a little panick attack this week. 26 weeks is scary! I am going to compar it to turning 26......not really in the early 20's anymore...much closer to 30. And it pregnancy weeks 30 is nearing the end. That is SOOO scary. I cannot believe I am almost to 30, then it will be 35, then 38, then going in to deliver. I know this all has to happen at some point, but still it was an eye-opener.
Also I am getting some form of nesting. Since I don't have my own house to nest in...I am feeling the need to ready the house we will move into. Jeremy probably thinks I am crazy, but is not willing to argue with me. I am really staring to need to ge things going so I can see that we won't live here when this baby comes.

90 Days

I always joke around with people and tell them I am not going to buy any baby stuff until I am within 90 days of delivery. That way whatever I don't need...either boy or girl stuff.....as long as I have the receipt I can take it back.
I have been saying that for months now, and it always seems a million years away.
So yesterday my sister Jennifer and I were in Tucson visiting our grandma in the hospital. Then of course we stopped at Target on the way home. I found a cute girl outfit that was only $6 that I just couldn't put down. So I decided to buy it. As I was checking out I was joking about keeping my receipt. Then it occured to me.....it was 90 days to the day. Oh my goodness......90 days. I cannot even believe that its creeping up on me so fast.

90 days until we meet our new baby!

90 days until we find out if its a boy or girl...

90 days until I have another c-section

90 days until Jayden is a big brother

90 days until Grayson and Colby have another sibling

90 days until Jeremy gets to wait on me

90 days until I get to be a stay at home mom again

Of course now that I am in my "90" days.....I am still really hesitant to buy anything.
