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.

Mary Kay Makeup

I'm lucky enough to have my momma as my Mary Kay consultant (:
 

What Girly Girl doesn't love makeup? Hehe.

But anyway, the company just sent her a few new shades. Mom was nice enough to gift me 3.

Duets

So, I watch "Duets" for 2 reasons.
1. I LOVE John Legend. He swoons me hard.
2. J-Rome.

 

Last Night, J-Rome sang " I Will Always Love You"
He is CRAZY GOOD. I don't know how a man with his talent has not been discovered and with a record deal already. Plus he's so humble. It was absolutely beautiful.

Jennifer Nettles is such a beautiful singer as well. Yay Sugarland!

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!

Recaps

My have I neglected my blogger.
Just been dealing with hormonal issues.
But a little recap on what's been going on in the life of SMOS.

1. Mini fights with the hubby. Distance is really hard, been dealing with it for 3 years now, and sometimes, it just makes me really vulnerable. I suppose with a little help from my pregnancy, I found myself lost in negative thoughts. I pulled away from him, when really I should have been clinging on tighter. I had doubts of our future, and I really chose to hold my tongue for a few days, just knowing whatever was bothering me would really rub him the wrong way. But in actuality, I had to voice my concerns. Why? Because I love him so damn much. We talked it out. He said his piece, I've said mine. Now, that book has been closed. I mean, nothing even really happened yet. I'm just worrying based on issues that happened between my parents. I love my husband to death. I'm so anxious for him to come home. So anxious for our baby's arrival. Ahhh.. time really does fly by.

2. On top of distance. I've been really trying to brainstorm cute ideas on keeping my husband connected with baby and I. Yes, he'll be home for her birth, and thankfully he'll receive recruiter's assistance to stay an extra 30 days. But then, he'll head back to Japan and it'll be back to skype for us, until orders are received. I'm so happy that he enjoyed my Daddy's Day gift (slideshow with photos of my belly growing week by week) -- Now I have to think of a whole new bunch of ways to keep us all connected. It's going to be fun! I can't wait.

3. Baby Shower Planning (: -- Okay, I know baby showers are supposed to be a surprise for the expecting mommies right? Though it was my mother's idea, I am actually in the process of brainstorming party favors, food, well, EVERYTHING! Hahaha. I've recently told one of my good friends about my pregnancy, and her excitement just made me cry. I can only imagine how wonderful this shower/party will be. Like my wedding, I was surrounded by so many people I love. Those same people will be at our shower. Richie will be home. It will be wonderful!

4. House Cleaning - This is seriously a never ending process. I'm not sure if I'm a lazy preggo, but I seriously have NO energy to do anything. I'll clean for an hour then find myself sleepy. I compare myself with this woman I follow on instagram, who is about ready to POP, but she has been NON-STOP decorating her new house, lawn-mowing, just an on the go woman! Worst, she posted photos of her excessively swollen feet! I don't know where her energy comes from. I seriously need some of that!

Alright, that's about all I have for now.
