Eight on the Eighth

1. Since I got pregnant, Stella has been laying on me every night and at least once during the night she kneads on my stomach. It always wakes me up and then I have to go to the bathroom. I haven't slept through the night since getting pregnant. The first night Stella didn't do either of those things, Rob shakes me awake, says "Hey!," smiles then rolls over. It scared me awake and I still had to get up and go to the bathroom. When I got back I hit him with a pillow for waking me up. The next morning I told him about it and he doesn't remember any of it. I just want to sleep through the night just one more time....

2. I am pretty pumped that we are finally into September. Soon the weather will be cooling, the leaves will change and there will be that awesome fall smell to the air. I can't tell you how excited I am about this! I have been ready for fall for awhile now.

3. I miss not having to carry a purse everywhere I go. Before Addie I carried my purse about 50% of the time, especially when I want to carry a book. Now I have to carry on all the time because we go nowhere without her water or puppy and I need a way to carry them. And now I have no room to carry a book. I really and truly miss not carrying a purse.

4. A couple of weeks ago I woke up at about 3 am and realized that the world was spinning. I kid you not, everything was spinning in circles and it wasn't stopping. I was seriously scared because I felt so awful. Rob helped me to the bathroom where I threw up. I felt better then not even 5 minutes later I threw up again and then again. I ended up falling asleep with the light on and my glasses on so when things started spinning my eyes could focus on something and everything would stop. The next day I was dizzy and not feeling good. Rob even ended up working from home that afternoon because I felt so awful. Total that day I threw up about 8 times. It was one of the worst days ever. Luckily by the next day I was already feeling better. But it was easily one of my worst days.

5. A couple Mondays ago, I officially posted my 1000th post. That was a big thing for me. Of course I didn't post about it because I have a lot going on and a lot to post about and frankly I'm not sure anyone but me cares. But I do want to say thank you to all those you keep reading and keeping coming back.

6. I got myself a domain name for this little ol' blog. You can continue to type in the old address and you will be redirected or you can change your favorites to ourbeautifulmessblog.com. Again it's something that may not mean much to any of you but to me it's exciting and I love having my own domain name. Happy blogging girl, right here!

7. I'm looking forward to decorating the house for Halloween then Thanksgiving then Christmas. I like being festive. However I won't be decorating until after Addie's birthday in mid-October so it will just have to wait. Along those same lines, I can't wait to see what Addie wants to be for Halloween. We decided to let her pick this year and we are pretty sure she has no idea what that means, so Halloween should be fun this year.

8. I have a hard time believing that Addison is turning 3 in just a little over a month. It doesn't seem possible! I honestly have no idea what to even get her for her third birthday or what theme or really anything. She likes so many things from Disney princesses to airplanes to dragons. I guess I should start thinking about it. It's just hard to believe she's already turning three. What happened to my little girl?
