Things I Want.....

I want......

1-To not go into labor during my baby shower. My mama-in-law is throwing me a shower 3 weeks before my due date out on the Wasatch Front (yay!) and I thought last night that it would be VERY inconvenient if I had my baby that weekend.

However,

If I look at this situation through rose-colored glasses, these could be the upsides:

a) lots of family members able to come visit immediately without finding special sleeping arrangements

b) having baby shopping stores close by in case I remember something that I need

Speaking of rose-colored items....

I want....

2. A rose gold watch.

I've been drooling over this Michael Kors 'Runway' model, but at $175, there was NO WAY I was ever getting this watch!

It made me sad that I couldn't find anything that closely resembled the color (I don't care if it is real rose-gold!) but the other day I found a glimmer of hope! Candice Morris had just gotten this watch for her birthday and at more than HALF the price of the Michael Kors, I can again dare to hope! Christmas is just around the corner!

I want.....

3-To wear my high heels again.

I desperately miss my platform heels! I'm pretty sure that they miss me too. Sometimes I catch them gazing at my feet with longing as I come into the closet and select which pair of flip-flops I will wear for the day. They think they are being punished and they don't understand why.... 

I've heard of women that couldn't wear their old shoes after having a baby because their feet never shrank back to their pre-pregnancy size. If my feet don't get small after I have this baby, then so help me....! Someone will have to pay. Seriously. Ryan will be paying for my entire new shoe collection. He talked me into this whole baby situation in the first place (and I'm grateful that he did!), so he will get what is coming to him.

I think he owes me a new pair of shoes whether my feet return to normal or not. These are first on the list:

I want.....

4- Pretty much every single item on the Shabby Apple website. Especially this dress (they are tricky with their pictures, so you have to click on the link!):

Back before the baby-belly, I was DYING to own this dress, but I needed a size medium and they didn't have it. I was devastated :( But just this spring they restocked and they now have my pre-pregnancy size! Too bad I don't have my pre-pregnancy size anymore....

Have you guys noticed that most of my wants center around shopping??? Coincidence? I think not.....

BUT MOSTLY......

I want....

my baby to stay in my belly until I am full term. I want to go into labor without being induced. I want to have a natural birth and not a c-section. I want him to be healthy. I want him to grow up to be just like his dad.

And after all of this is over, I want to wear a size 6 dress size, not have stretch marks, and still be able to jump on a trampoline!

And harsher punishment for parole violators.
