Just a random update

So, my best friend's hosting a baby shower for me this saturday! I'm excited! Just gotta keep this little booger in there a couple more days... I swear it feels like she's gonna just leap out at any moment. I recall what I *thought* were contractions during my first labor - they felt like mild menstrual cramps. Turned out they were just braxton-hicks. This time around... woah, nelly! They feel like the real thing. I know they aren't, because they're so sporadic... but geezus, they hurt. In my back, front, legs, everything. Who knows, maybe they are actual contractions... but I'm not going in this time 'til I know without a doubt! I have been a lot more active this time, and I hear that can make false contractions worse.

Anyway.... a while back I won a giveaway for a coupon for a free decorative clorox wipes thingy... but I can't find 'em anywhere! They had 'em at Wal-Mart up in WA, but the one here doesn't have them. Boooo! The coupon expires Saturday (or maybe Sunday? I can't recall) and it's killing me! I want my clorox wipes! GRR!

Ok, I guess I'm gonna head back to bed now... maybe I'll be able to sleep this time.

Multiple item giveaway!

Over at the virtual baby shower hosted by Comfort Joy Designs (see the button to the left?), there are tons of games, giveaways, door prizes, and more! I just entered THIS giveaway by filling out a fun little mad lib (see previous post). This has got to be the most fun I've had entering giveaways... best bloggy baby shower, EVER. Anyway, this giveaway includes a 9 month candle set from Childish, $50 gift cert. to Maggie Maternity, temporal scanner from Exergen, and pajamas from Pajamagrams! Go do some mad libbing and possibly win some prizes!

Baby Mad Libs

(Odelay)! gasped New Daddy. It was (8 a.m.) and baby was awake for the (7th) time today. New Mommy had been (haphazardly) (folding laundry), but rushed to check on New Baby. "No, no," said New Daddy, who had been relaxing by (collecting stamps). "I'm always (hesitant) to help with the baby. I'll go." New Mommy was (psychotic), since this was only the (2nd) time that New Daddy had offered to help. In fact, New Daddy was more inclined to snack on (figs), while sitting on the (ottoman), watching (Ellen). New Mommy knew that she should (instantaneously) accept, because New Daddy might not offer again!

(This is for a giveaway... which may be explained in a post following this one...)

New Look...

So, if anyone visits my page... they may have noticed it looks a bit different. I got an awesome free layout from LeeLou Blogs. They are the coolest.
Also, the buttons for blogs I visit regularly/follow are now to the left... as well as a special spot for special bloggy events. Not only is it easier for you to find the events vs. the normal buttons, it's easier for me to get rid of the special event buttons once they have "expired" without having a bunch of html or anything to weed through! Yay!
Now that I have MY computer up and running (yeah, it took long enough), I am going to work on making a new header, as the one I have doesn't quite fit right with this layout. Wish me luck!

Much love to my (possibly non-existant) readers!

By-The-Book giveaway

Outnumbered 3 to 1 is hosting a By-The-Book giveaway that ends May 26 @ 11:59pm. It's a great little book that you can "fill in the blanks" about your child and keep handy for babysitters, nannies, loved ones, and whoever else watches your child (possibly even for a clueless Daddy, when you get one of those rare "Girls Night Out" things I hear so much about). You can even make copies of pages to add in as your child grows and his or her needs and things change, or for multiple children... and, even better, you can print extra pages right from the website, just in case you don't have a copier or a convenient Kinko's. Awesome, huh?

Wanna enter? Go here to find out how!

Another giveaway hosted at Outnumbered 3 to 1 is for an Organically Hatched bath sheet... A big, absorbant bath towel made of bamboo! Just reading her review made me want one so much... I guess that's the point of reviews, eh? So, anyway, I'm entering... You should, too!

And yet another... I love funny t-shirts, don't you? Well, Crazy Dog has some of the funniest. Outnumbered 3 to 1 is hosting a giveaway for one of those funny shirts. If you want to enter, do it HERE!!!

It's a Blog Launch Party, so she also has a BUNCH of other giveaways... go check them out!
