Some Much Needed Sparkle

I'm officially past due. 8 days! And I'm quite miserable. I barely fit into my maternity clothes. I haven't seen my feet in months. Months people! We've been trying everything, to get our Munequita to come. Nothing is working. Let's just say, I needed a little "pick me up."

La Chiquitita is always wearing the best accessories. Something fun. Interesting. Things that I don't usually see. I asked her the other day, where she shops. And she told me about Charming Charlie. It's Accessory Heaven! Now I know, why all the girlies like to go shopping with their Tia Bonita! Best shopping ever!

Yesterday, I met my friend, during her lunch break, at Heaven on Earth. Any mujeres' shopping Heaven! No lie! Charming Charlie, we are going to be besties. No lie! I'm so glad we met today. :)

I'm positive that I mentioned, this, I don't fit into any of my clothes. Not really. And our baby girl, doesn't seem like she is ready to come. At most, I should only be pregnant 1 more week. They'll induce next Friday, if I don't go into labor. This means, I need a few outfits. If our Munequita doesn't come in the next few days, Gabe is going to teach, at the Conference this week. I'll need to at least meet our friends for dinner. I desperately needed something, to make me feel better.

That's when Charming Charlie surprised me! I went in. Wobbling. Exhausted. And was surprised! While my friend has control, she only left with 3 pairs of earrings, I had absolutely none! I left with almost $200 worth of stuff. Overdue or not, earrings, bracelets, and purses always fit! Oh, and I get to wear all of this, long after our precious little girl is born.

Yes, this Momma-to-Be, needed a "pick-me-up." La Chiquitita knows exactly how to make you feel better. I'm so grateful for my dear friend. Lunch, laughter, and shopping. That's what our afternoon was made of. It was exactly what I needed. Hopefully our Munequita was bitten by the "Shopping Bug," and is motivated to meet her Mommy and Daddy!

The Help

My good friend, has been talking about The Help for a while now. Since I'm on partial bedrest, I asked Gabe to pick me up a few books. He came home with 10! That I've been reading. Then I remembered this one. Immediately, I put down my other book. Which, by the way, I can't find anywhere! I started reading. And I had The Help, read in about 3 days!

It's that good! Now I want to see the movie. When does it come out? I've been out of the loop, of all these things, for a while now. But I just have to see this movie. It has to be amazing! I just know it does. The book was incredible. Definitely something you should try!

New Blog...and Names

OK. So I've been trying to survive all this morning sickness. And well, it's not going so well. That has lead me, to look for something that makes me happy. Or at least smile. During the day. While Gabe is gone working. And I'm home, just trying to survive. That's when I found this blog. For the last few days, I've been reading this blog.

This particular post, made me smile. It's so Gabe and I! We've been talking about baby names. Our list, is already almost 100 names long! Almost hourly, our name choice changes. 2 days ago, we had a name picked out. Almost set in stone. Ready so start buying our Munequita some cute things. Then, almost instantly, we hated the name.

We've got 4 months of this to go. I can imagine, Gabe and I doing just this. Picking a name. And in the last few days, completely changing our minds. Oh goodness! But really, go read this blog.It's a good one! Maybe I'll learn a few things from Brie. Who happens to be further along this "Mommyhood Road."
