Paul and I ordered Eric's crib, changing table/dresser, and glider this past weekend!!! One would think I'd leave the store in a good mood...right? Wrong!!!
Everything started out beautifully...we got to the store at 4:30 knowing exactly what we wanted. All we had to do was order it. As we are ordering the glider (the last of the three things) I get a glance at the owners watch and see that it's a little past 5. What!?! The store closes at 5 and we still have to pick from 125 different fabrics to cover the glider! 125!!! So each minute that I spent deciding, was a minute that I was keeping this guy from going home to his wife! (she even called asking when he was coming home!) Not to mention the fact that these swatches are very small so it's very hard to visualize a whole chair in it. But you better not pick wrong or else there goes "x" amount of money! The pressure was on!!! There was no..."we'll come back next weekend" because it takes 12 weeks for the furniture to arrive. So...we finally came to a decision around 5:25. I felt terrible that we kept him that long (even though he was incredibly nice about it). Approx. 5 min. into the car ride home I broke out hysterically crying. And it lasted...no lie...two hours!!! All I have to say is...poor Paul!
Little did I know that was the start of this crazy emotional thing that was happening to my body. Two days later Paul and I wanted to go to a store...we couldn't switch lanes in time to turn into the parking lot...had to make a u-turn instead. What did I do? I started to cry! What is that!?!?!
I honestly believe little Eric went through a growth spurt and my body produced a million more hormones than usual. Thankfully...and I mean thankfully...I am feeling like my ol' self again!!! Last night Paul and I had a great night with no crying fits!!! I don't know who's happier...Paul or me!!! Hahahahaha!!! And today I've felt like a million bucks! To say the least...they were an interesting 3 1/2 days!!!
Here is the most recent belly update! Notice I am posting it on a good day. If it had been early yesterday morning...I would have cried because a hair was out of place!

P.S. A huge thanks to Ally for suggesting I LUV My Baby. I don't think we would have found natural wood anywhere else!!! And Heather...we went with the same brand Glider you recommended!!! Thanks ladies!!!!

I love you for being so honest! Our bodies go through so many crazy changes and emotions that nobody ever talks about. So glad your feeling better and little Eric is through his growth spurt.
Ahhh, don't worry the crying won't last forever. Shopping always sounds like fun, but it can be really stressful. I hope you like your new glider as much as we love ours! Ours is 3 years old already and I still use it every day!
PS. Your baby belly looks great!!! Give Eric a little nudge for me.
