Tuesday & Wednesday

Good evening everyone (:
Just returned home from dinner at my moms. I'm so thankful that she's able and willing to prepare dinner for me, even at age 24. It's so nice to have home cooked meals with people that I love. More so because I live alone. I'm also very thankful that her house is just a 5minute drive from mine.

Didn't size my engagement ring yet.. that's a ring snuggie! Haha

I remember one incident, where I was furious and hurt by my husband, for taking his wedding band off before he went out to a night club. Yes, they are just pretty objects, but I truly believe they symbolize commitment. I still glance at my rings, and just feel so proud to be his wife, so blessed to have such love. Yesterday, I took my wedding band to Zales for it's 6 month check up. Who knew rings needed a checkup?! I've decided to take my band off at home, just to save time and embarrassment, because I usually need to use soap to slip this puppy off. But yesterday, my goodness, I needed soap, ice cubes and prayers to get it off! I'm not sure if it's the summer heat expanding my skin, or possibly swelling from pregnancy.. but I could NOT get the ring off! My finger turned shades of purple. Gosh... it was so scary. I decided to ice my finger, hoping to have my skin tighten. I'm not sure if that truly helped, but finally, after a lot of tugging, twisting, and man power, I got the ring off. My finger was so sore. It was quite an experience. I haven't put it back on yet. It's something I've been debating over for quite some time now, just really thinking if I need to take it off anytime soon again. I look at my finger and it looks so incomplete. Ahh what the hey, ring will go back on tomorrow morning (: 

One thing I love about being pregnant, is seeing all the pregnant celebrities. I was always one to catch up with celebrity gossip, but I guess being preggo myself, I find it 10x more exciting to see celebrities who are expecting. 

When I stumbled upon this picture, I couldn't help but smile! For myself, I love to see a man excited to be a daddy. An actual "daddy." I've witnessed too many friends, acquaintances, going through pregnancy and parenting alone. So to see a man take charge and embrace pregnancy as a couple, my gosh... how sexy is that? I'm envious that they can enjoy pregnancy together, but my husband should be home in less than 4 weeks. (: I'm ready for him to help mama out! Haha.

I've set up baby's playpen/crib yesterday, and let me tell you how EXHAUSTING that was! My mom suggested I wait until my husband comes home...but seriously, I was too excited to place it in my room that I had to put it together myself (: I love how easy it is to set up and take down. It's nice and sturdy as well.. We didn't want to invest in a crib, especially when we're not sure if I'll be moving out of Hawaii or not. I really can't believe baby is almost here. Well, actually, I can. She feels so huge in my belly. Constantly moving and causing aches and pains everywhere. But hey, as long as she's healthy, I'll put up with it. 

TOP ROW : 2008, 2009 BOTTOM: 2010, 2011

Lastly, as I couldn't sleep last night, I found myself going through myspace (WOW!) and just looking back on little things from 2008. I really can't believe it's been 4 years since I've found love. And here we are today, growing up as individuals, growing stronger together as one. I'm so blessed to have his heart and just lucky to say I'm still so in love. He's been really busy at his shop lately, haven't talked to him for a couple of days, which just gets me anxious for our next skype date. I'm missing him and loving it! Gosh, I could go on and on with this mush.. But for now, my back is really sore. It's time to lay down! (:

Goodnight XOXO - Savannah

I Love Etsy!

So, for this past week, I've been on Etsy a lot! Not really looking for things to buy, just looking for baby inspiration. I always feel that I could "MAKE" things. But when window shopping, I stumbled upon 2 things that I really wanted for baby!

 

First, a cute little crinkle toy! (: What caught me was the price! In total, with shipping, it came out to $5. Now, if you are an avid hello kitty shopper, like myself, you know she is PRICEY! So really, anything with HK on it that's cheap, is a winner to me. I ordered a blue one, just because that's a baby kitty on there. Ahhh so excited!

SECONDLY .... 

This one seemed VITAL! How cute is this?! 

Honestly, I've seen this cart cover 2 days ago.. hesitated when I saw that it was $54.00. 

I've shown my husband a picture, and when we viewed it together (through skype) we were informed that it was SOLD! Ugh.. i was so sad. He of course scolded me for not snatching it when I had the chance.. 

Thankfully for me... I went searching Etsy again & she posted another one! It's not only cute but looks like good quality for baby's comfort! $61.00 total with shipping, but I feel it's worth it. 

Again, HK is expensive, and seriously, if this were sanrio brand, I know it would be at least $200! I'm so excited for this one. I know baby won't be using it until about a year or so, but I also know time will go by fast.. heck, this PREGNANCY went by too fast! 34 weeks today!

But these are my few etsy purchases. 

I'm looking into starting my own little shop. I have "BIG DREAMS" about felt. Haha.. it's the closest I can get to sewing. We shall see how that goes though.

Anyway, 11;24PM here, time to head off the computer & curl up with a book.

Hesitation Blues

As I clean, I find myself sitting on my couch, and ever so conveniently, I set up my laptop there. Ha! So what's a girl to do?! --- I know! Online browse for baby.

Yesterday I stumbled across this cute thing!

 

Shopping Cart cover! How cute is this?! 

Naively, I didn't believe it would have been sold soon. So I just skyped a link to my husband, for him to check out after duty. But it's gone :( Granted it was about $50, it sure does look comfy (AND CUTE!) -- Bummer. Of course there's that little beam of hope that thinks maybe my husband got to see it and purchased it? I doubt it though. A girl can dream. 

Live & Learn right? Haha. I just wasn't meant to have this one. Maybe a cuter one will come along? Yes! Positive thoughts (: 

Back to cleaning!

Baby Slinging(:

 

So my baby sling has arrived in the mail!! (: My husband actually bought one, a large, for him. It's just black, so once I came across this sale (Original $72, got it for free, plus the $11.45 shipping) I knew I had to get it. Only problem, It might be a little too tight. 

 

Here I'm using my little Marine Baby, Luga, as a test.  I found that my BOOBS got in the way... They've grown 2 cup sizes through this pregnancy.. so I'm not sure how comfortable this will be, with my actual baby, because STUFFING Luga in this sling was work. Maybe it'll be easier with this belly out of the way as well? Only time can tell.. we shall see.

  

Hahah my comfy little Luga!
