Busy Busy!

Well it's definitely been busy around our house lately as we work on getting ready for little Miss K to arrive which will now be within the next 3 weeks.  Darius seems to be getting excited about it again, but maybe that's because we've been loading up on clothes and supplies finally and he's getting to pick out some stuff for her.

So much tiny adorable pinkness.

Her side of the closet is filling up with all sorts of pink, haha.  D doesn't mind sharing the closet with it all but I think Dad is a little freaked out by just how much pink there is coming into the house. I love that D likes picking things out for her though, we'll see if he's as excited when she's finally here.

Evidence Dad is warming up to all the pink clothes... he picked these out.

Scarer in Training

Miss K isn't the only one getting all the stuff, though.  Darius is all sorts of excited about the new sheets he got to pick out.  Mike (Monster's Inc.) is his favorite movie so he was really excited when we found these.  Plus they match the beanie baby that Dad got him while he was on a business trip in January (that would be the little Mike under the Mike on his pillow, lol).  I love that Mike is his favorite, not Sully.  He's like that with Despicable Me, too.  It's not about any of the girls or Gru, it's the minions.

He also loves brushing his teeth which is so weird to me, fantastic, but still so weird.  LOL

There's been lots of clothes in it for D, too.  Including new PJ's because most of what he had looked like he was ready for a flood.  >.<  Of course, he's our little nerd and picked himself out some sweet Darth Vadar PJ's.  He's also obsessed with the Vadar's Little Princess book of comics we got, even though it's not really something to read to someone, I've been reading it every nap and bedtime since we bought it, all at his request.

Yep, still being that secretive preggo. 

Because I can, damn it.

I also posted this on instagram, twitter and facebook as a hint to the next letter in Miss K's name and the guessing has begun, haha.  Some people have been surprisingly SUPER close but still not telling until she's here!

Takara enjoys the shade from the bump.

I really haven't taken many bump photos this time around.  Just been busy and forgetful.  I was forgetful last time, too but this round has been really bad.  Most have actually been from this angle, though, which is really cracking me up this pregnancy for some reason.  Except when in the kitchen walking with a knife and Takara wandering underfoot wanting milk.  She doesn't get that I can no longer see this little routine anymore. -_-

Last, but not least, I leave you with this little gem of Cody and D watching the Daytona 500 on Sunday.  At this moment D was yelling "Go, Junior, go!!"  Which was super adorable and must have been pretty dang effective because he won!!  Darius even got to stay up late to watch the end, plus by his normal bedtime Jr. was in the lead and we knew if he won we couldn't contain ourselves well enough to not wake him up. XD

So there's a little peek into what we've been up to lately.  Have my hospital bag all packed (it's weirding me out that this will be my first night away from D) and I'm working on making my own nursing tank tops (I might post a tutorial here later on) plus just our regular day to day fun, which currently includes a lot of cabin fever thanks to a bitter cold winter.  Speaking of the cabin fever, what are your favorite cabin fever boredom busters?

Shopping!

So with the last school refund of my college career we decided to get the wee one some stuff, so shopping we went!  We also got our registries set up and I'll post them in the side bar over there -> when we get the Target one updated.  They were about to reset all their baby stuff so there was a lot of clearance and not much we could put on the registry so one of their very helpful employees suggested we hit them up again this week.  :D

One thing I definitely wanted was one of those playpens that does a half a dozen or more things, haha.  Ask Cody I said it about a million times while we were in Babies-R-Us.  :D  I'm a girl who knows what she wants, what can I say?

This is a terrible photo but when we get the baby's room set up I'll post better ones of everything.  :)

It says All-Star across the star in the back and is pretty snazzy once we got it all put together.  It's a Playpen/Changing Table (that's the part hanging out on the end)/bassinet/Close n Cozy (So we can set it next to the bed so I don't have to stumble my way into another room because I have a hard enough time not running into things when I'm wide awake).

It also breaks down and fits into a carrying case so when we go back home to visit we can take it with us.  It also has a little thing with a night light that plays music or nature sounds and even vibrates to help put the wee one to sleep so I was happy with my multi-purpose purchase, hahaha!

Then we got the bedding for the crib.

So this ought to help if you're wondering what we're doing theme-wise with the little one's room.  We're going with an animals and train theme, as Cody is going to set up the train set that used to be my Dad's that has circus cars to go around the top of the room.  Yeah I cried when Cody came up with this awesome idea, but we'll blame it on the hormones. ;)

It came with a sheet, crib skirt, bumpers, the quilt, a diaper holder and mobile and was a pretty good deal and definitely the cutest set we had found.  There are some real duds out there!  It was hilarious though, as we were all excitedly putting all this together, Sakura, our dog, was like "what are you guys doing?"  So then when we started putting the mobile together she figured the animals must be her part of all these goodies we had brought home.  She tried to take off with the lion but I was quick and snagged it from her.  She was being so sneaky about it too!  Then a few minutes later she tried to take the giraffe from Cody.  It was so funny.  Luckily she's very gentle when trying to run off with anything so that will be good when the wee one arrives.

And one of the things you will see on our registry are some of the most awesome little toys I think they've ever made.  To heck with Tickle Me Elmo...

Sing-a-ma-jigs are where it's at!!

Here's Cody trying to decide which one to get.  (No that doesn't mean they're coming off the registry, there's like 12 different ones that all make different pitched sounds).  They're super fun if you have more than one as you can make them harmonize and stuff.  They're pretty much amazing.  So amazing that I have to play with them every time I see them so Cody told me that as soon as we got home they went in the playpen until the little one arrives.

But guess who was the one who wouldn't stop playing with it when we got home...

It was pretty funny though as Takara really wasn't sure what to think of it.

Just wait, kitty kitty, things are going to get even crazier here in a few months. ;)
