the perfect onsie

i've never seen ap so disappointed. :) i ordered this from baby gap the other day and it came yesterday.

i got it to bust ap's chops of course this winter when football season rolls around & his lil boy is representin' his arch rival indi. but i also got it because i have a crush on peyton manning. our baby can't possibly be a fan of every team his father roots for. c'mon.  ap's not even a laker fan. so no, siding w/daddy in sports will not work in our family. but i do get a head start by having our baby wear this during indi vs ne game this coming season! ap's threatened to return it or burn it. you can only imagine how well my suggestion of the baby's name 'peyton' went over with ap. sigh~ names...that's a whole different animal in our house these days.

i have to say baby girl clothes are so much cuter and more fun to shop for. of course i'm biased because i'm a girl myself. but even when you walk into baby gap or gymboree, there are more selections for girls than boys and those pink dresses catch my eye more than the blue onsies. it's so hard to choose boy's clothes cuz some of them are just down right cheesy & not what i'd want my baby to be seen in. i guess in a way this is a good thing. the limited selection has kept me from losing control & buying everything in sight.

i was so good about shopping for the past like 2 years until i hit about 18 weeks of pregnancy. Not only did my normal pants no longer fit at that poin but I also opened the baby clothes flood gates as I started to believe more and more this is really happening and baby is healthy. Now, i can't stop browsing around for maternity and baby clothes on sale. Key word - SALE. i used to think oh perfect, I can wear my leggings throughout my pregnancy but oh boy was I wrong. i ended up getting maternity leggings and omg they are the greatest invention next to maternity jeans. i really don't know if i can let go of them even after the baby comes. i also can't wear my favorite undies from A/E. those superman undies are just so comfy but they're not so friendly when you're 18+ weeks preggo. best bet are the lace end undies from V/S. in fact, old navy has some similar lace band undies but V/S ones are definitely much more comfy.  unlike the tight band of A/E undies, the lace band undies are so forgiving of my growing body. it hit me last week that we have a weddig to go to next weekend and i can no longer depend on just wearing one of my normal dresses in the closet. pea in a pod had a great sale the other day so i picked out a dress i'd normally wear even if i wasn't pregnant. lets be honest, some maternity dresses are just hideous so i wanted something i can pull off even w/out the bump.

we'll be heading down to sd this sunday for a short day trip. we've been dying to try the famous pizzeria luigi since it was featured on triple d. our friends also raved about it so yes, we're driving 80 miles for pizza. unfortunately, we can't stay overnight since we're having a bbq tomorrow and i think i'll come in the office to get some work on done on monday. working on a holiday off is never fun but what's worse are piles and piles of work to be done after a long weekend. hopefully i won't gain 10 lbs from the weekend's bbq and luigi's.
