There's definitely something in the SoCal waters since every time I go on FB, I read about another friend's pregnancy. It's exciting for me to share in the experience with so many people even though distant a friend as they may be...it's the bond that ties all women together I suppose...:)
Baby A has been kicking up a storm lately and hiccuping to her heart's content. It's really cute when she gives a hard punch or does a somersault inside. I hope to take one of those freaky pictures of her hand smushed up against my stomach lol.
My baby shower is coming up next Saturday and I'm getting so excited to eat good food, gab with good friends and be merry...soon after that, to kick off the holiday season for the Beck household, Andy and I are going to do a last hurrah/anniversary trip to LV to try out the famously new #1 buffet Bacchanal! Gotta be honest, even though I'm calling it an anniversary trip, the sole purpose of going is to eat at this buffet. My friend sold me on this along with all of the countless Yelp reviews. I'm debating if I should try eating everything in one sitting or divide it into a 2 day adventure. I'm ruled by the baby's ravenous appetite so I won't fight her if she wants me to indulge in the buffet a couple of times. ;)

Pitter Patter
Today I had lunch with my old co-worker and she brought her 19 month old daughter and 3.5 month old baby boy out. As cute as they are, I have the most admiration and respect for women who have more than one kid. So pretty much props to all of my 3 or so readers. lol. I dunno how you guys dare step out of the house when both young uns want to be held, fed, played with...not an easy feat and I know that very soon I will feel overwhelmed with my tiny one, but in no way am I in a hurry to add #2 into the groove. Either way, tried the Doritos taco for the first time. Not too impressed, it was a little overly salty for my taste, but I could see why sodium lovers go gaga over it.
Today marks my 26 weeks and I just now put up a ticker to count down the 98 days left until Baby Girl Beck officially joins the Beck Family. I'm starting to get really excited as I count down the days and so is Andy. It's unbelievable how un-hormonal I've been towards him. He doesn't even realize how good he has it with me right now. lol. I've been in full nesting mode and have been baking, cooking up full on feasts and even dedicated a full day of rolling kimbap so that we could enjoy it for the next couple of days. And since I've been in such a benevolent mood, I went with him to Mission Viejo Mall to check out that dastardly Lovesac. I'm such a weak sauce when it comes to friends and family I dunno how I'm gonna be a strict disciplinarian with my kids. Basically, I ended up sitting on the ugly thing and fell in love with how comfy it was and also felt bad saying no since I swear Andy looked like a kid in a candy store...so we bought it. We got it for a really good deal though and also ended up getting the prettier Pillowsac on a rocker instead of the Supersac bean bag. My comfort was the great deal we got and also that the thing has a 3 generation warranty. I figured since we needed a glider/rocker for the nursery, this would suffice. I swear though...it totally reminds me of the one episode of Friends when Fat Monica is visiting Ross and Chandler at college, is crazy dancing with a donut, falls on a beanbag and can't get up...that'll be me...
On to weird and interesting pregnancy tmi...I think I'm leaking colostrum and its drying up, because my n*pples starting scabbing and literally looks like it's corroding off like a leper! It freaked me out when I found all black dusty scabs on my bra, but after looking it up online, I learned that I'm just an early leaker. Thank god for the internet. I hope I still have enough to give to my baby since I know it's supposed to be nutritious. :)
Here's our new nursery piece. Don't judge me for being weak and not caring enough about the aesthetics of my daughter's nursery...Either way, everyone is welcome to come and sit on it. I guarantee you won't want to get up!

Week 25
Wow! This pregnancy feels like its flying by. I can't believe that I'm almost at the end of my 2nd trimester and in about 3.5 months, she's-a-gonna come rocking our world. October is supposed to be a relaxing month for me, so I'm gonna take advantage of the free weekends to clean, organize, get ready the nursery and hopefully enjoy the cooler weather. I'm ready to open the windows and feel and taste the cool crisp autumn breeze. :)
Speaking of getting ready the nursery...Andy has done a marvelous job in cleaning out the room, moving around all of the furniture into our guest room and setting up the crib. I'm very grateful that he's handy dandy around the house...not to be tmi, but I think I'm most attracted to him when he fixes things up and tinkers around with his tools. HAHA. And btw...I relented and gave in to keeping his ugly dresser he bought in the condition that he puts it in the baby's closet and out of sight from the entire room. I felt bad that he was trying to do something nice and he said it was really heavy to take back by himself. It really was heavy since we had to take it upstairs piece by piece and in the end, it doesn't look too horrible, buried in the darkness of the closet with the closet door shut. :) Still...I dunno about my husband sometimes. The next piece we need for the nursery is a glider/rocker, but he suggested that we get the "Lovesac" instead. Its basically a $850 beanbag. Wtf is putting it lightly. Hansoom nawah...
On to other nursery news, I wasn't planning on decorating, but I think the nesting instinct is starting to kick in strong and I've determined to decorate with a cherry blossom theme. I sincerely pray for no surprises during delivery because as much as I'm trying to keep things unisex, some things I just can't help but fem up!:)
Here's the latest pic of the ever growing bump...
And here's a pic of the noxious "Lovesac" aka ugly ass bean bag
And lastly, some ideas on cherry blossom-ing it up! :)
Have a lovely week y'all! :) xoxo
