Baby High Heels

I think Heelarious high heels for baby girls are SO cute, and funny!

Apparently there is a lot of controversy with these...but mostly because people don't realize they are NOT for WALKING babies. The heel is collapsible, and is for babies 0-6m.





And my personal favorite (of course):


BUT, those hot pink patent ones are sold out EVERYWHERE. In fact, they stopped making them. But I had to check everywhere before I could rest. I got the LAST PAIR at theathleteschild.com!
(If you wanted to buy some, let me know and I'll give you a sweet coupon code)
The boutique price for these is $80, but I got THREE pairs for that price...with the coupon code I googled. I'm so excited!

Oh, and I ordered a hot pink pair from TheRoyalNursery.com and they didnt contact me for a WEEK, even thought I emailed and called a million times. They finally emailed me today and told me they credited my account because they are sold out. Dumbheads.
Here are some cute babies in them:







While I'm on the subject of cute baby stuff...My best friend (and fave Zumba instructor) Cammie got me this onesie...


Cuz I Zumba'd a TON during this pregnancy :D

And, I'm sorry, I just cannot post this without saying, these are the best pictures I could find on google image search of these onesies. The poor baby is in such an awkward position in both pictures. I will one day post a much cuter picture showcasing the awesome outfit! Thanks Cammie!

I'm Sorry, but...

How is this fad...a fad?

The Amazing Elegant Designer Baby Girl Bedding. And a Craft.

Feast your eyes on THIS



My MOM made this!!!!!!!! We just got it all set up, and I can't get a very good picture. Sun has gone down so I can't get any natural light.



Isn't it GORGEOUS?? It takes my breath away. I can't believe I am having another baby. Such a miracle.



My mom has worked countless hours on this. I did stuff the bumpers though....which was a PICNIC....But I wanted them puffy like that, so for the last while we've been going over to my moms and working on it every weekend. Its been awesome to hang out there. We don't have TV, so Josh gets to watch his precious sports.

Last weekend we did a family photo shoot/maternity shoot with Madalyn. It was so much fun. Can't wait to see the pictures. Kaius was feeling under the weather, and wasn't that into kissing my belly :( Oh well.

Oh, now I've added something to the nursery...


I got this idea from theidearoom. However, her tutorial is kind of REALLY hard to understand. It took me forever trying different ways on how to do the rosettes, and finally when I just stopped trying so hard they looked good.
Can you believe something so elegant came from some cheesy party streamers?



We were at Zurchers looking for the streamer and Josh was like "Uh, you need this for what?" and I tried to explain you fold it in half and roll it up into a little rose and glue it on this styrofoam ball (which are ridiculously expensive...I thought they'd be like a dollar, try $14!!) And Josh was like oookay...this will be interesting. But when he saw my finished product, he was awe struck :D

I am SO not a crafty person, but I wish I was. I'm trying. Its just hard for me to go to craft stores and actually BUY everything. I think its the frugal girl in me.

It's Been Hectic, Man.

-I called Josh on March 8th at 4 pm, about 10 minutes after I had hung up with him last, and said "Happy Anniversary"
He said, "what?"
"Happy Anniversary," I repeated.
"Is that the only reason why you called?" he asked.
"Yes"
"Did you just realized just now that its our anniversary?" He asks.
"Yes...didn't you?"
"...yes."

He totally tried to play it off like he knew, but he didn't. We both had no clue.

So we went to Cafe Rio!!!!

Then on Saturday we went to my Moms to work on [baby girl]'s bedding, I found a couple movie ticket pass thingies in my purse so we went and saw "Just Go With It" because 2 of my best friends recommended it, both out of nowhere, don't know each other, and it was on the same day (the day we moved). It was really funny, Josh and I laughed a lot.
So we did get to go out on a date. Its been a long time since it was just us 2. It really brought us back to the giddy stage and we need to go out more often.
Back to the bedding, just wait til you all see this bedding. It is out of this world cute. And SO froofy, which I didn't think was my style, but I totally love it and its designed by me and my mom! (Plus we stole an idea from etsy...but we aren't paying $300 for something we could do for a fraction of the cost, plus make it cuter.)
I think it will all be done by this weekend. I can't wait to blog about it.

On Sunday, we spoke in church. I made lots of pregnancy jokes/made fun of how huge I was. A lady told me afterward that she liked me :D And a lady told my mom (who was watching Kaius) that she liked me and I'm gunna fit in just great here :D:D
My talk was 80% introducing us/20% on the Spirit of Elijah. Then Josh got up there and did great, but he would speak every Sunday. He likes that stuff.
A few hours before I spoke though, I started feeling sick. Kaius had already been coughing for a few days...but bouncing off the walls still.
Me...not so much. Body aches, cough, sore throat, yada yada. Finally got an antibiotic though, today.

We finally got internet at our house. Before I was just using Josh's phone...which is like looking at the internet through mud. Ok not really, but its not as cool. I have been really out of the loop, though. I didn't have facebook to remind me it was my anniversary, I was the last person in the world to find out about the earthquake in Japan, and I didn't know it was St. Patrick's day today. Oh well, all I did was sit around with my double ear ache and yell at Kaius. What a fun mom I am. Maybe I'll make some green pancakes when he gets home from his boys night out with Josh to watch the BYU game at Iggy's.

Something I've been meaning to blog about: Don't you want to be friends with this guy in real life?

We think he's hilarious.

Well, I think this is enough jumbled, jarbled crap for one post...lets blame all the cold medicine, please.

Surprise Shower and an Update

I am going to miss the northern UT area we just moved from. Some friends we get together with for FHE every week had us over for dinner last week. We had yummy chicken (hence the previous post) and potatoes. Oh, and chocolate cheesecake that was diVINE. I pretty much pigged out. Then my back was turned for like two seconds, and all these girly pink presents were on the table! Surprise! It was the night our car broke down (on the way home from the shop...double grrr) and I was so emotional I started tearing up again. Such a nice thing to do for us.

Im blogging with Josh's phone, and it sucks. But we are loving the new area we are living in. Our first Sunday at our new ward was...interesting, but good. The first few people we talked to told us we might not be in their ward boundaries..okaaay..even though it says so online? And a lot of people just assumed we were visiting instead of asking if we were new or visiting. We talked to the bishop and he said they have quite a few people that just show up wanting to be in that ward that live far away. Makes more sense.


Kaius has been transitioning to the toddler bed and is doing awesome. At first he would wake up crying like he had NO idea where he was. Poor fella. But every night he does better.

The Chicken Bone E.R. Visit

So the other night I was eating some chicken off of a bone and I swallowed and felt something pricking my tongue when I swallowed. It wouldn't move! I tried to find it with my finger but I couldnt. I couldn't tell if it was in my tongue or the back of my throat. I had Josh try to look with his bright flashlight on his new HTC phone (We scored it for free at T-Mobile's promotion last weekend!) But he couldn't see it.

Yesterday he was asking if it was still there, and told me I should call a doctor or something so it doesn't get infected. Well, we are a one car family, so I called the pediatric dentistry across the street and the receptionist kind of laughed and said "Um, I've never dealt with that but we don't work on patients over 13, but let me refer you to a dentist 5 miles away..."
I said "No thanks, I don't have a car right now. Thanks anyway."
So then I called my Dentist. The receptionist and I have talked many times and she knew who I was before I said my name. I told her the situation, and she said that was a new one for her, so she put me on hold and asked about it. She said because it was past the dangly thing in the back of my throat, I need to go to the emergency room.
I kind of laughed and said "I can't just go to a regular doctor?" and she said "No, you definitely need to go to the E.R."
I said "Well, why? Will it get infected or something?"
She basically just said that just wasn't their area and suggested again to go to the E.R.

So I hang up with her and call a family practice doctor, and the receptionist transfers me to a nurse in the Urgent Care. She says they wont be able to help me there, and to go to the E.R., especially because its a chicken bone and will get infected very fast.
Now I'm really starting to freak out. A trip to the E.R. isn't cheap. So I turn to my Facebook friends. Everyone says to go. Tears!
So I ask my BabyCenter birth group. They say go. Because of infection. One dumb girl says "If you can't afford to go to the E.R., how are you going to afford a baby"
(Tangent Alert)Exhibit A of why I HATE babycenter. Everytime I post, theres always one or two that have to ignore the whole point of the post and say something extremely negative and rude...because they are anonymous. I freaked out on her, I said "If a girl in real life was telling you about her stressing out about how to pay for a $250 copay for a STUPID E.R. trip...would say to her 'How are you going to pay for a baby if you can't pay for an E.R. visit?' Well, maybe you would say that, but I wouldn't. That's rude." (Tangent over)
So I finally call Josh and tell him what's up. Not exciting. I call one of my best friends from the ward and see if she can babysit. Leeann is the best. She was so willing to help any way she could. Such a blessing.

We head off the the hospital. The nurses checking me in thought the situation was bizarro.


Ok, I'm 32 weeks pregnant. I am huge.

The doctor walks in and asks me to explain the situation. He puts numbing stuff on the back of my throat so I don't gag, and starts pokin around. He finally stops and says "I don't know if this is something I can get. I may have you go home and see what your body does with it (it may push it out, or your body might absorb it and dissolve it) and then I will give you a recommendation for an ENT" which, apparently is "eyes, nose, throat"
I kind of had an attitude...explained I did my research and was told this would get infected easily because its chicken, etc. I said its already been in there 24 hours...I've been eating all day...I've tried getting it out on my own, etc. So he comes back with a big machine, its a bright headlamp. He has Josh hold my tongue down with a stick and he holds some tissue down next to the dangly thing (formal name is Ugula..or somethin) and he keeps having me feel the bone with my finger. The area is very swollen by now. Josh points out there is a concentrated dark red dot. "You see it, Doc?" He asks. That Josh. He's so cute.
And the doctor pulled it out!!!! He was so surprised...he said he was just grabbing blindly with tweezers. I was like "GIVE ME THAT!" And I examined it. Yuck.



This is the best picture we could get. You can't really see well, but the bone turns from brown to white and curves up at the tip..and is very fine also. The white part is what was sticking out of my skin. The rest was in my throat. Thats pretty long! I mean, that thing was IN THERE. No way my body was getting it out.

We are all ready for this week from H-E- to be over! (Another reason why is because we had to take our car to the shop TWICE this week)

Our VaLenTiMes Day!

I usually find it really annoying when people say "Valentimes", but recently I saw a craft on a blog, wooden blocks with letters on them that read "Happy Valentimes Day" And it looked really cute written out.

Anyway, it was a normal day (minus the part about looking for a sitter all day) until Josh got home. We got ready to Zumba and took Kaius to a friend's house. I had been begging Josh to come with me to this "Zumba with Your Valentine" event for weeks. He usually coaches volleyball Monday nights, but they didn't have practice. He was fully mentally prepared to Zumba. I told him it would be my Valentines gift if he went. Malan (Cammie's Huz) was excited to know there was going to be another guy there. Cuz he kind of had no choice :D

The guys did SO good though! I think there was a total of 5 guys there. It was a fun atmosphere and Josh and I got DOWN. hahaha. Josh kept pointing out what kind of music it was, what language they were speaking, and sometimes what kind of dancing Cammie was doing. He would be like "Oh this is Samba!" and I have no idea if he was right. But it was a blast.


Then we went home and he whipped out this gorgeous butterfly headband. I love butterflies.



I had tried it on when we went to Claires on Saturday, I saw a little 4 month baby girl was getting her ears pierced and I wanted to watch. It was very sad. Most babies I've heard of getting immunizations cry for a minute and that's all. This little girl cried like she was in pain for a long time. I learned I definitely wont be going to Claires for it if I end up doing it. I just didn't get the feel that the girl was confident that she knew what she was doing. If anyone has advice on that, lets hear it.
Also, Josh got some flower hair clips! White daisies with pink plaid centers. So mommy and baby girl can match!

Oh, and for Josh, I made him a nice feast with BBQ ribs, Garlic Shrimp, cardiac mashed potatoes, cheesy broccoli, and crescent rolls. That's not all he got, but this is a family friendly blog.
