Down to single digits....WHAAAA??!!

OMG!! 9 days until my due date! Holy shit in a basket, I am so nervous, terrified, excited and anxious. That's alot of emotions. I am nervous about Olivia's and my health during the labor. I have too many what-if scenarios floating in my mind. I am terrified of the pain, the aftermath and the responsibility of taking care of this incredible bebe. I am excited to meet her and shower her with love and affection. I am anxious to hold her, smell her, and bring her home. Yesterday we got alot done but we didn't go visit Antz Mom. We finally put the car seat in my car, and the extra base in Antz car but we still need to take them to a firehouse and ask them if we installed them correctly. Antz printed the shower photos and we finished the scrapbook. Sorry these pics look so crummy













































































I am picking up my Mom to go to Gilli's today. Then we'll have lunch. Tonight we are having dinner for our friend Roxie who is in town from Hong Kong. I need to go to Giggle to buy the breast pump, bottles and burp cloths. I repacked my bag and it's completely full. Antz hasn't really packed yet but it's fine because all the stuff he would pack is stuff he uses on a daily basis. I am worried we have waay too much stuff but I'd rather have more than less. I should get dressed, I tend to procrastinate on Monday mornings and then I run late all day. I am super tempted to go back to Urban today and buy the Nikes for Antz and get this fedora I tried on. I know I have been spending too much money but I feel like this is our last shopping spree opportunity before Liv is here, lame I know!

Outdoorsy Type

We are back home now. I think we got most of our to-do list done. Debra had to reschedule for lunch, Boo! We took back the umbrella base, and while at Bed, Bath & Beyond this outdoor set caught my eye. I really want to get it for the patio.


















Next, we stopped by Best Buy to get a gift card for his other sister, Clinnie's birthday next week, then we got some dog food from Petsmart. Then we went to Old Town Pasadena and Antz bought a t-shirt from Urban Outfitters but I couldn't convince him to buy these awesome Nikes :(























I think they are the tits! Maybe I can find them online. We went back to Gap to buy the checkered shirt and he got another short sleeve shirt and some jeans. We also picked up a pink hat for Liv. I was being really indecisive about what to have for lunch so we ended up going to a dive for burgers and we ate in the backyard. It really is a beautiful day but a bit windy. As a matter of fact, the wind knocked over our new umbrella. Sadly our sod didn't hold up at all and now the bald spot is really looking terrible. We still haven't put the car seat in my car but we are going to pack for the hospital.

Lazy Sunday's are back!

I fell asleep relatively early last night, I think I conked out before 11pm. I'm not sure how late Antz got to bed but since Max got a haircut and was being so sweet we let him sleep in the bed with us. He stayed up last night working on this!!























SO MEGA CUTE!!This morning Antz was up around 8:30 just hanging out in bed, playing with Max. Now it's going on 10am and I'm the only one awake!


















Under that black blanket is Maxwell snoring loud as ever. I would like to awaken my sleeping Prince because I want to finish printing the shower photos and add them to the scrapbook, then we still need to return the umbrella base *we didn't use because it wasn't the right size* to Bed, Bath & Beyond *and hopefully find a new featherbed*, then go to Giggle to buy the Medela breast pump and some bottles. We are taking his sister Debra to lunch for helping us with the food at the shower. We are taking her Sedthee because we couldn't think of anywhere else that we haven't taken her yet. I am starting to get sick of that place but it's Antz favorite. I don't know if I wrote about this but Debra bought Antz the Diaper Dude which came last Tuesday. *YAY*























I still want to go to the Gap in Glendale and find the black and white checked shirt we saw yesterday, I can't pass up the buy one get one free sale!!






















We have to put the car seat in my car today, I don't know why we keep procrastinating about it. Then later today we'll prolly go visit his Mom and return her table.

The early birds get the yummy breakfast!!

Antz and I have been up since 6:45 am!! We took his car to Honda to get service and have his drivers side door lock fixed. Then we took Max to the vet. We just wanted to spend $100 for his annual shots, blood test and get his perscription refilled. Turned out to be $202! They gave us a quote to have his ears cleaned for $180 and if he were to have surgery, it would cost $800-$900 per ear. The good news is we are getting him groomed and a summer cut so he'll look alot better once Olivia is here.

















Our day has only begun, we need to put the car seat in my car, we need to pack Antz hospital bag, pick up Max, pick up his car, go to the mall and get Liv's bibs embroidered and shop for clothes for Antz. We need to find a cover for Olivia's bassinet so Lola can't get in, something like this

















We are going to try out the Fabler canopy and see how she does with that but I know she'll claw the material because she does the same with our curtains.






















Lola is just a brat right now, every morning she gets up before 7am and yells at us, bites at our feet and knocks things off my desk until one of us gets up to feed her. She also is shedding hair everywhere so I need to find a way to keep her hair out of bassinet.
Whew is an understatement!! We just finished 80% of our errands and it's 6pm. Remember, our day began at 6am so we have been going nonstop for 12 hours. Mind you, I have spend about 4 of those hours sitting while I wait for Antz to run to the car, run to pick up the embroidery for Liv, run to get me a Wetzel Pretzel slushie *I had 2*. We walked all over that mall like we were on a scavenger hunt. We found an embroidery cart and left her bonnet, bib and a yellow onesie to get done. Her bonnet is my favorite *loves*


















This onesie did not come out as we liked, I mean come on, Liu? Oh well!























Then we had lunch. After lunch, we went shopping for Antz. I somehow ended up getting a white dress from Old Navy but it was a practical purchase because my white skirt got ruined at the maternity photo shoot *mysterious unremovable black stains*. I wanted to get some red Toms but I didn't get them this time. Antz got some shirts from the Gap and some navy blue Converse. I need to find a short sleeve buttoned shirt for him. Gap online sucks ass right now, I can't find any short sleeve white shirts and all week I have been getting 20% coupons and today there is nothing, everything is regular price but they sold out of his size in the store and they are having a buy one get one free promotion! So after the mall we dragged ourselves to Target. I scored a 30% off Liberty of London king size bedding set. I am going to use it at the hopsital.

The bee has arrived

The Bugaboo bee was super easy to build, I love the cocoon feature. YAY!



I practiced with Angelina Dixie with the babywrap. It felt really comfortable but I'm sure it would be different with a squirmy bebe. Our BabyHawk!!

I love the design so much!! There's hints of gold glitter in it.
