33 weeks, Car Seats and Dilemmas

33 Weeks

Only a few more weeks to go and the count down has officially begun. Matt and I are so ready for feedings every 2 hours, crying, not knowing what to do with this tiny person and sleepless nights/days. We are actually pumped up about it. Weirdos. I am so excited to see the baby's little face! I can't wait to see what it looks like, because in my dreams it always has teeth and wants to bite me--I'm ready to put that theory to rest. This irrational fear probably stems from me drinking 2-3 gallons of milk and crewing 96 extra strength Tums a week, I keep thinking all that rich calcium has to calcify somewhere on our baby and I envision TEETH. Side note: Heart Burn is a bear.

The Easter Bunny came this past Sunday and brought gobs of candy for Matt, which he attempted to eat in one day and TUMS for me. That Easter Bunny, I tell ya, he sure does know his clientele! Frazier claimed that the Easter Bunny is a cheapskate! He only brings the dogs toys after the holiday because that is when everything is on sale. There may be some truth to this.


33 Weeks and Frazier's Butt

Car Seats

Perhaps I can't read directions well or perhaps the people at Chico find it funny to use to worst possible pictures and descriptions on how to install a car seat properly. Either way, safely installing a car seat took me 23 minutes, 3 texts to a friend with children and 6 cuss words to install. By the end of the ordeal I was red faced and extremely frustrated, I do believe I took a nap. Don't judge.


23 Minutes to Safety Bliss

I thought for sure Mister Instructions-Are-For-Losers would have an even more difficult time installing his car seat base into the truck. I challenged him to an Install-Off and giggled at the fact it was going to take him forever to figure out how to interpret all the new vocabulary words of a car seat, let alone install the darn thing. Ready, Set, Go.....6 minutes from house to perfectly installed and safe car seat. Damn, joke was on me.
Dilemma

The baby's room is really coming together beautiful and is so near completion that we can smell it! We still need a light fixture, some nick-knacks here and there, for my Grandma to send the bedding--which is compete by the way-- and to hang things in their official places on the walls. Here is where our problem lies... We have no idea what to put above the crib. I don't want something heavy that if it fell would crush the Little Monster where it lied. I am also not a huge fan of wall decals, all though if the right one came our way it might work (open to suggestions). We don't want anything that's too "baby" because the room itself is far from an ordinary baby's room--minus the crib, changing table, rocker and other accouterments.

I was thinking about just hanging a mobile-ish type thing from the ceiling that would be ascetically pleasing as well as stimulating to the Little Monster. I just don't know what type to hang. That's about all I got so far, please offer up suggestions. If anyone's information leads to the arrest or indictment  the final decision of the previously mentioned Crib Dilemma there could be a cash reward up to $1,000  $5.00. (Not sure if anyone caught on to my Crime Stoppers reference here, but if you are going on 2.5 hours of sleep like me it might be kind of funny).

Here is the way the wall looks with nothing on it. I know it is kind of hard to offer up suggestions when you can't see the rest of the decor that is adorning the room, but it is not put together enough to be shown yet. Any help is appreciated. And.... if anyone is wondering, yes, Frazier does follow me from room to room and is constantly at my side at all times. He is a 65lb growth that I have to feed twice a day and take outside to go potty.


Stay tuned for pictures of the Baby's room in its more complete and final state....
