        <p>Ok, so in addition to buying all those craft type things and onesies and all of that, I also bought something else today for the baby (man, the kid isn&#39;t even here yet, and I can&#39;t help but buy stuff for him/her. &#160;This does not bode well). &#160;But I got this next thing online, from <a href="http://www.fredflare.com/customer/nextbigthing_vote.php?siteID=">Fred Flare</a>. &#160;It kind of reminds me a little bit of Etsy, but, not quite. &#160;Cause most of the stuff isn&#39;t as homemade looking as Etsy. &#160;But I saw these little guys on someone&#39;s blog, and decided I wanted to buy them for the baby.<div><br /></div><div>

        <p>I&#39;m so glad to be going into a long weekend right now. &#160;This week, although short, felt long. &#160;I missed a day and a half of work due to extreme nausea and throwing up. &#160;I know have some medicine that I&#39;m supposed to take twice a day to help with that. &#160;Which it does, but it also makes me feel like passing out face down at my desk. &#160;<div><br /></div><div>Today I stopped by two craft stores, Michael&#39;s and JoAnn&#39;s Fabrics, to browse around. &#160;I ended up finding some cute stuff for the baby, even though that wasn&#39;t exactly what I was looking for. &#160;I actually couldn&#39;t find what i was looking for. &#160;But, I bought a few things to do some little projects to make for the baby. &#160;Hopefully they all go well. &#160;We&#39;ll see. &#160;Some will go easier than others. &#160;Let&#39;s just say I bought stuff for knitting, and I&#39;ve never attempted that in my life. &#160;So... yeah. &#160;Wish me luck on that one. &#160;I can&#39;t even decipher the instructions haha.</div><div><br /></div><div>I&#39;ve fallen in love with this one website <a href="http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/">Chasing Fireflies</a>&#160;They have stuff that is just so adorable, it makes me hope the baby is a girl. &#160;Cause you know you get to pick out more fun outfits with a girl than a boy. &#160;But, I&#39;m not completely letting myself hope for one over the other yet. &#160;Though I still do think it will end up being a girl. &#160;Just a little over a month and we&#39;ll find out. &#160;Can&#39;t wait.</div></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p>Today I woke up in a bit of a funk.&#160; I know I&#39;m really not all that large.&#160; And that the large-ness I am experiencing is because an actual little baby is growing inside of me.&#160; But, damn if it isn&#39;t depressing having to pull out some old dress, that you don&#39;t even like all that much, to wear to work cause none of your jeans or regular pants&#160;fit, and you&#39;ve already exhausted your collections of pants that fall under the &quot;stretchy&quot; category.&#160; I&#39;ve gained another 1.5 pounds since my last check up.&#160; Bringing my total weight gain up to 6.5 pounds, in 3.5 months.&#160; All well within range.&#160; My doctor said about 4 pounds between each visit was ideal.&#160;&#160;So far I&#39;ve managed to do ok by that.&#160; I just kind of want to get&#160;past this &quot;is she pregnant, or did she just eat&#160;a huge&#160;bowl of&#160;pasta&#160;(or other bloat inducing food) for lunch?&quot; stage.&#160; cause that&#39;s how&#160;I feel right now.&#160; I&#39;m small enough that&#160;I don&#39;t necessarily look pregnant, unless you knew.&#160; I&#39;m sure by the end of the month,&#160;I&#39;ll &quot;pop&quot; as they say.&#160; (which&#160;I&#39;m really not sure how&#160;I feel about that&#160;term, to be completely honest)&#160; Until then, I&#39;m just stuck in this in between phase I suppose.&#160; </p>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p>Well, the wedding went just wonderfully.&#160; We got married downtown at the Westgate hotel, and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to get married in the San Diego area.&#160; They were so wonderful and helpful throughout the whole process.&#160; </p>
<p>Anyway...I (and the Argentinian) couldn&#39;t have imagined a day more perfect.&#160; We didn&#39;t see each other at all before the ceremony, so it was a complete surprise how each other was going to look.&#160; Right before walking down the aisle, while standing outside the doors, holding on to my dad&#39;s arm, my heart suddenly started beating <em>so</em> fast.&#160; I don&#39;t know the last time I felt my heart beat so hard.&#160; But by the time I reached the end, and was up there with the Argentinian, any nerves had subsided, and I was just so excited.&#160; He looked so handsome.&#160; The ceremony was nice, not too long, not too short.&#160; We couldn&#39;t stop smiling and staring in each other&#39;s eyes when we got the chance.&#160; The whole night went by so quickly, looking back.&#160; What was actually 7 or 8 hours felt like 2 hours.&#160; I can&#39;t wait to see the pictures.&#160; So far we have a few from his sister that she took, and those turned out really nice.&#160; </p>   <p style="clear:both;">
