Its not just about the name!

I know im semi crazy when it comes to things being designer or known brands but really there is a difference. A lot of people try to say that things like this are just spendy because of the name but really the quality of the items is soooo much better. This came to mind when nicole ( who i love ) teased me that the clothing at target are just as good as the ones from gymboree. We were really just talking about looks but she said I like gymboree becasue they are a name brand. So this is nothing bad about target yeah they do some cute carters lines but come on you can get carters EVERYWHERE and they all look the same. There was only one amazing line that target did for babys and it was called lulliby club...super cute stuff that i did buy a lot. And guess what? It all fell apart. The buttons came off the seems dont hold after a few washes, the colors fade. And im sorry but that hold true to almost any designer Vs generic brand. The extra money you spend to buy a BMW or Lexus is getting you a more luxirious car. The extra i spend to buy name brand lables is getting me something that holds up....my one exception to this rule is designers like gucci and any thing "coture" Gucci sunglasses that cost 400 are marked up just for the name! blah blah blah no one really cares but i had to defend my shopping choices lol

Brie Measuring up

Yeah I know she it tiny but just how tiny? I measured her up today on the growth chart and for both weight and height she fell at below 3%. Dr.s have told me its just a sign that she is super active and as long as she is healthy im sure she is fine. As a baby I was always short but i always weighed more than brie....must be the calf muscles...if you have seen them you know what im talking about. And Kacy at 5'9" isnt the biggest guy so I think she is just doomed in life. At least she might be the lucky one who doesnt have to worry about weight.

I was also curious to see what her percents were when she was born and found that in weight at 6lbs 12 oz she fell at about 15 percent....Here is the funny part and i had been noticing from tv and other babies being born that infants usually are only about 20 in long and brie was 21.5 in long.....in newborn percents that is over 95 percent. So I can say that at one point in her life she was taller than 95 percent of the other girls!

The pic above is Brie wearing the baby clothes I got kels for her baby shower, they are 3-6 month clothes lol. The only reason she put them on is that when they came in the mail my mom thought they were for her, a lil tank and capri pants lol. So the tank was a dress but i let brie keep it and the pants I had to hide till the shower becasue she kept finding them and wanted to wear them. She will randomly ask me " where my seahors pants" how does she remember?

Breath and ahhhhhh.......

So i woke up this morning and was so happy that i have NO plans for a long time, well no plans that require me to do anything more than sit somewhere and have other people BBQ for me. Ever since February when i went on vacation i have been toooo busy planning things, It was Bries bday then kacys bday and easter and a baby shower, and work and appointments in between and im SO happy to just be done. Being a virgo is hard work we are super picky and organized and want things to be perfect. I cant just throw together a party or do something half way.....its all or nothing with us "virgins" lol. So im now vowing to not plan anything else for a long time because I just need some me time where I have time to go get my hair done and work out and shop for ME! I want to scrapbook for myself and have time to hang out with my friends....once again big breath and ahhhhhh the feeling of nothing to worry about!

BIG SECRET

Ok so im going to drop a big secret that i know several people that read this may be interested in, or maybe you are already in the know but here it goes.....You know when you go to get your OB ultrasounds and EVERYONE in the flathead valley wants to go to Whitefish because they do the awsome 3D ones......Well old Nothwest imaging has been holding out on us all....THEY DO THEM THERE.....all you have to do is ask the tech and its no extra charge or anything. They will even make you a disk of all the images so you can easily post them! I was told that a lot of the techs are just lazy and dont want to do them or try to say the cord is in the way but you jsut have to be stern and they will do them! I guess if your OB does them in the office you are out of luck but at least now Kalispell doesnt have to be so crapy compaired to wf! shhhh dont tell everyone! PS those of you like my sis katie who had the 3d done there and hasnt told us shame on you! lol

And the Summer Clothes Drop

Ahhh the day that the cute baby stores release there summer lines is a good day! That day was yesterday for the Gymboree Addicts....There are some cute new summer stuff but just not sure if its the line to grab up or hold out....im thinking hold out and by that time most this stuff with be sale priced any ways......Oh and for anyone who likes to look up the new and old gymbo lines the site gymbohaven has pics of every past line. Very helpfull if you like the ebay the old stuff like ME.....I know i know i need to go to Gymbo Ananamous

Is the TV break over yet! I hate it when its holiday time and spring break and all the shows i watch switch to old episodes....maybe id like this if i ever went and did anything during those times but nope im still at home needing my Gossip Girl and Greys!

Easter

We had a nice Easter this year! I woke up before Brie which NEVER happens cuz lets face it moms should enjoy every second of sleep they can get, but i guess i was just excited for her to wake up and start the ol Easter. When she did wake up i went and held her and she kinda flopped her head on my shoulder trying to wake up. Well her Easter Basket was sitting on the floor neer by and when she saw it full off goodies including a sponge bob she perked right up. SPONGE BOB she yelled and ran right over to check it out.

Now as a kid my parents/easter bunny always hit pieces of candy all over the house and we went around with out baskets and found it all in the morning. I guess this isnt normal cuz Kacy didnt know what i was doing by leaving candy all over but it was super cute i put a candy on each step cuz brie loves going up and down the stairs. So she takes her basket to go down stairs and says "someone spilled candy" So all that easter bunny talk didnt qutie get through

We also did a little egg hunt outside with her cousin Caden and then had a little easter dinner. I was glad the sun was out and it was warm enought to actually wear those cute easter dresses!
