Thursday

Know what that means? Only 3 days until Monday! Only one day left of this work week and then the weekend with my hunny<3 I can't wait for Monday. That is our next doctor appointment and hopefully the appointment where we find out if we are having a boy or a girl! :-)

I try to make every day go by super fast but since I'm not working again it pretty much is just me around the house with the dog. Today puppers and I are going to the beach! We aren't leaving until 12ish probably though because hubby got out of work early yesterday and we are hoping he does again today thanks to this new 2 week long class. We haven't been to the beach since his mom and sister were down so it's well over due before the weather gets chilly again.

Who had plans for this weekend? My husband said he wanted to go do something this weekend because the weather was supposed to be really nice. So I suggested Myrtle Beach because I love it there and we haven't gone in a while. His response? "That's a great idea! We can go to the outlets down there and hopefully get you some maternity clothes." How sweet is that? Keep in mind he HATES shopping. So for him to say that really made me smile. He is always thinking about me<3

Have a great Thursday everyone!

I love my husband, my best friend, my soulmate<3
Forever and always Mr. Sykes<3

I Love you too little Sykes<3

Baby Registry

This post goes out to all of you mommies out there. I thought putting a baby registry together would be a cinch. Man was I wrong. I am registered at Baby's R Us. I have some basics like the car seat and stroller, playard, swing, vibrating chair, diaper bag, 3 sizes of diapers, baby bath, high chair, health care kit, monitor, bottles, and baby shampoo.

Since we don't know the sex yet I have put off putting clothes on there and some other things that really end up being related to the sex.

I want your opinions on what I need to have on the registry! I feel super overwhelmed about all of this. It seems like there is a ton of things recommended to put on that seem ridiculous to me but then I am like well what if I really do need that or what if that would be an awesome help?

So, ladies, what would your recommendations be? What are those essentials that I might be overlooking?

THANK YOU!!!

Feel like I'm just waiting.

 I feel like I am just sitting around waiting to get more pregnant and eventually feel pregnant and then eventually actually have this baby. I am only 15 weeks as of yesterday lol. I don't feel pregnant. Yea, I have a little belly but nothing ridiculous where people are running up to me touching my belly (thank god).

It really stinks not to feel pregnant. I want to be able to feel the baby moving. Then I will be a super happy mommy :-) Right now it feels like people tell me I'm pregnant but I still don't believe them haha.

Monday is our next appointment. We are praying that we find out what we are having! Either way, boy or girl, we will be super happy and excited. BUT being the mom of course I would love a little baby girl :-) haha.

I am around the time where I should be getting bigger and maybe just maybe I will be able to feel him or her moving around soon :-) I already can't sleep, why not add on some internal kicking?

Anyways, I need to go get ready to have lunch with my hubby<3 He needs his cell phone charger so I get to bring him a sandwich too. lol. I'm a great wife.

I Love You Mr. Sykes<3
You too Little Sykes<3

Middle of the night attack.

Ever since my husband has returned from boot camp he has been sleeping like a crazy person! I miss the old hubby who would sleep silently and still through the night. Anyways, let me tell you about the recent events that have taken place.

Last night my wonderful husband woke up in the middle of the night (the one portion of the night where I am sound asleep for a change) and proceeded to yell WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? Twice. Yes, normally I would have jumped sky high and screamed but he actually does this regularly. So last night all I did was tell him to wake up and shut up. My heart only raced for a split second before remembering he is sleeping.

He has done this I would say at least once a month since we've been married. The first time was a couple days after moving into our home and I could have killed him for scaring me half to death. This was the first time I immediately knew he was sleeping so it didn't bother me too much. Instead I just laid there thinking about how I should blog about this.

He also has conversations in his sleep which can sometimes end up being funny. Except nothing is funny when you are a pregnant woman trying to sleep and only really fall asleep once a night. Once I get woken up it's so hard for me to get comfortable again. The talking I can put up with though. It's the teeth grinding and biting that drives me nuts!

He chomps down on his teeth sooooo loudly and then proceeds to grind them ridiculously loudly. Oh, and he doesn't just do this on his side of the bed. He has to roll as close to my ear as possible and then do it. I swear I have considered separate beds. The pregnant me just can't take this!

Do your husband's have any ridiculous sleeping habits? If you tell me you might make me feel a whole lot better about mine :-)

I Love You Mr. Sykes<3 Even if you sleep like a bulldozer.

Dress Swap?

I was just on Lejeune Yardsales (slightly addicted) and I saw a post for a dress swap! So I figured I would tell my bloggy ladies about it. If you are in the jacksonville area and have a dress that you are interested in swapping for another dress then get ahold of me! I will get you connected with the lady in charge and you could end up getting an amazing dress simply for your old dress :-) How awesome is that?

Don't have an old dress you can part with but still need an inexpensive dress for the ball? Still check out lejeuneyardsales.com or Cherrypointyardsales.com (or if you are near another base you might have one of your own, look into it!). There are dresses for practically nothing and they are really gorgeous.

The ball

So apparently we are definitely going to the ball although hubby still doesn't know the date. All I can get out of him is "Well last year it was the weekend of November 10 so it probably is this year too." So whatever. We will just go with that since he is soooooo sure of himself lol.

He tried on his blues jacket today to make sure it fit for his inspection and well lets say I'm not the only one who can't afford to gain weight. I retried on my dress again today to try and get  a better picture for you ladies and I literally cannot gain a pound or I don't think this dress will fit. (In my boob area anyways). I guess all I can do is pray that either I fit in this dress come ball time OR I find another perfectly priced great dress on lejeune yardsales that's a size bigger. EEK!

Here are a couple pathetic pictures of me actually in the dress though.

Sorry about the crappy quality once again but since I can barely breath in this dress we're glad I got any at all. 

I may still be on the lookout for a dress... BLAHHH. 

I got my dress!

I got my dress for the ball! We still don't know the date because heaven forbid my husband do the one thing I've been asking him to do lol. I have a crappy pic for you right now but I promise to post a better one eventually!

Did I mention I got this dress for $30? Oh yea. As long as my boobs don't grow too much I should be fine haha. It has room for my growing belly and looks amazing next to his dress blues. SCORE!!

I Love you Mr. Sykes<3

You too Little Sykes<3
