Does she want to hear yes or no?

My nails keep getting longer, this is probably the longest they have ever been in my entire life and I'm sort of at a loss as to what to do with them lol I'm not particularly keen to wear nail polish since I am suffering from neurotic future mother syndrome. My husband keeps suggesting using the scissors to trim them short but there is something to be said for having these odd long nails coming off my fingers as it is just so weird seeing them.

Good things:

WE FELT BABY MOVING!!!!!!!! OK well we're pretty sure it was Ryuchan moving. It didn't feel like gas and when hubby put his hand on my belly he could feel it too. MY DAUGHTER!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

I started work unpacking again and have discovered... I own a lot more kitchen crap than I thought. Also that the people who lived here before me did a crappy job cleaning some of the cabinets. I need to vacuum some and then I am so buying liners today. I think I am going to use this as an excuse to finally get rid of crap I hate, like the giant red plastic salad bow my mother regifted to me. I've never liked it, it won't fit in any cabinet and IT HAS A MELT SPOT IN IT from when it got too close to the stove.

I didn't puke Saturday or Sunday.. I think my longest puke-free run has been 3 or 4 days so lets see if I can break that streak!

I think I am starting to show a little. I've nearly completed month 5 according to What to Expect and I'm getting to the viability line aka where Ryuchan has a 50% chance (and then steadily rising) if she were to put in a early appearance. I can very much still see my feet and I guess if I wanted to buy a much larger size of pants or something I could still wear non-maternity but maternity pants are so comfy and some are even cute! twotone couldn't tell my shorts yesterday were maternity because they looked normal and cute! Thank you H&M But oddly I sort of... want to look pregnant. I think I'm still at the stage where it could just be plumpness and not a baby. At this rate I will need one of those stickers in Japan cause otherwise people might think I am just a lazy plump foreigner. ;;_;; (Which I am, but I'm a lazy plump and pregnant foreigner!)

Once I go to the CT DMV, I think registering Spinzaku will be easy! Unlike NY, CT is intelligent and does not require emission inspections for electric vehicles

Ate amazing goat cheese that was pasteurized! ♥

Not as Good Things:

I think my sister broke up with her girlfriend... and I learned this from a change in status on Facebook. ~.~ I'm sad they broke up and even sadder that she can't talk to me and I have to find out from FACEBOOK!

My hat did not keep me from getting sunburnt yesterday at the Coventry Farmer's Market. Next time it is back to sunscreens. ;;_;; Hopefully it goes down fast since I hate seeing myself with super red cheeks like this. I like my pretty ivory white complexion.

My new white tank top + watermelon Italian Ice+warm weather==sad Rachel Perhaps I should stick to lemon and lime ;;_;; I might need a new tank. I let some stain stuff soak in it but the stain is still there, I am going to try some more stain stick today.

Neutral Things

The track pad on my Mac is going. It's covered under warranty so will be free to fix and I need to bring in the laptop anyway to fix the broken monitor from uhhhh over a month ago but I just don't like being without my laptop and the back up laptop I have is my old one which burned my legs. >>; I need to do a good back up and get hubby to help me get that one set up for use.

Have not worked on my trip to Japan which is bad since I really really do want to go and see people. I am just... anxious. Not about Ryuchan say making an early appearance, but about the long flight, puking, the long flight, puking, my energy levels, puking, and just making it around on my own. Hubby would definitely not be coming with me and I doubt I could talk anyone else I know into it...

I am lying in bed at 8 am and not working on either folding laundry or unpacking. I ought to make a list for when I go out to make sure I buy the right things.

I only have 2 lime ice pops from Trader Joe's left.

I still desperately want an Uppa Vista Stroller.

Aw, I'm sorry that you got sunburned too! I think we all let our guard down because it was go overcast this weekend... we didn't realize how much sun Daniel had gotten until he was preparing for bed and we saw a bright red v and a red ring around his neck.

I'm sorry that your tanktop got stained... I hope the extra stain stuff helps.

It's not such a big deal about the top, because it was on sale at Old Navy. It's more... I like wearing white tank tops and it is something I will need to be careful on. >>; I might just buy a new one when I am next shopping.

I think Kennis was smart and put on sunscreen and now I wish I had! It's not as bad as it could be because my legs tend not to burn (I think my shadow helps protect them or something?) And even my arms are not so bad, but my cheeks have that too much sun look lol Luckily it is going down fast probably because I did have that hat on! At least this time I don't have a burnt scalp! :D

Kennis needs to work this week end on house things but I might see if a friend from school wants to join us since I just loved the market. ♥ I'm now curious what will be for sale next week, I hope more peas :D

Japan is nearly always tempting, though I hear it is extremely hot and humid in the summer which I am not excited for lol

I think my husband loves NewEgg for computer related purchases. I know he's gotten some enclosures there. Good luck with all that!

I adore homemade cheese. :D

You need to get one of those laptop fan coolers! I mostly got mine because my prevous laptop got really hot when the temp. rises out here. I still use it for my new MacBook Pro. I think I actually bought mine at Bed Bath & Beyond and it was less than $20.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Oh right after I figured out it burned my leg I got a cooling pad for it, but no matter what it just runs hot. I also just don't like that laptop as much since it's the one that the hard drive died in. A la clicks of death can not recover the data without spending $2000 died. I love my Macbook Pro and have been MUCH happier with it.

baby stuff! Are you doing a theme? My cousin's last baby had a zoo theme for all his stuff and it was adorable ♥ And I would be going nuts buying a rainbow of pastel baby girl clothes! XD What kind of things are you going to dress her in? ♥

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Eheheheheh, I've not figured it out yet. So maybe the theme is eclectic XD;

I've been mostly looking at the things I either need to purchase new in the near future: the car seat and the crib. Or other big ticket items: the stroller and I accidentally was looking at gliders. I've looked a little at bedding sets but I also might see what I can find on consignment and I can't decide if it is better to do organic or fun colors lol

I know I am going to buy some baby clothes on consignment, they just go through things too fast. I do want some girly things though so that when people see her they know she is a girl! :D Little babies tend to look sort of gender neutral so putting a baby in the right outfit helps. Probably when we're not doing much she will be in plainer outfits and when we are going out nicer things. I do want to get her something new and special for her naming, but I will probably wait until Fall. I just have no idea how big she will be next summer. Some babies grow super fast and others don't.

I'm in love with the The Uppa Vista (http://www.uppababy.com/products/) I love how high up the baby is. I also really want The Becco Carrier (http://www.becobabycarrier.com/item.asp?id=79&which=collections&cat=1)

I am planning a pink car seat once I figure out which one I like best lol

Secretly, I want to get her some things in Japan >>;
