i have been so busy preparing for this little bird and boy am i tired. i haven't been sleeping either so i'm kind of a walking "time bomb" and a bit of a crab apple. so you have been warned... don't piss me off. hah! i'm only kidding...(kind of.) seriously though, i need to look into a pregnancy okay'd sleep aid. i've been getting 3-4 hours every single night and have been taking very few naps during the day. it's really not much fun and really does make this mama irritable. i've also lost my super mega preggo appetite, which i guess is good since my midwife kindly asked me to "not gain any more weight." i'm very tall and hide the weight well but i have gained 50 pounds. whoa nelly!

anyway... i am almost done setting up this little birds nursery. i'm almost done ordering all of the last minute things we need, which is exciting because it feels like christmas in july everyday with all the packages arriving on my doorstep.

THE WINNER... (of the snoozer loser giveaway)

i took the whole weekend off & loved it. the only thing that i don't like about taking time off is that i feel a little guilty. in the back of my mind i hear a little voice that says "you need to blog." this weekend i chose to ignore that little voice. i spent the weekend relaxing, visiting with the soon-to-be grandpa and our friends the moores. i had lots of contractions this weekend. more than ever and some were fairly close together. they were only braxton hicks (false labor contractions) but i can't help but think that this little bambino will be here early. i'm crossing my fingers that i'm right.

so... being that i took the weekend off, i get to play catch up now. i have not one but TWO baby bird posts coming this week, a belated 'oh you pretty things' post, a giveaway to launch and last weeks giveaway winner to announce, plus a few other little posts in between, so let's get started with last weeks snoozer loser giveaway winner shall we?!...

thank you so much to everyone that entered last weeks snoozer loser giveaway! i was overwhelmed with sweet messages that made me blush. just what a 9 months pregnant gal needs. [winks]

our lucky giveaway winner is jaime! CONGRATS!!!
please email me your details so i can forward them to snoozer loser!
