WunderLUST Wednesdays

Ok Peeps I am adding to my list of things I would like to see on me. There are these cute new bracelets I found on MadeByGirl. Lately I have been blog stalking some fashionable places. This latest Blog is wonderful!! After seeing both of these ladies talk about each other and the bracelets I want on the stacking band wagon too!! Over at The Doctor's Closet you can find Monika's latest creations. BFrend Bracelets.

I absolutely Love the Michael Kors watch shown below. I just cannot decide if I want the Gold Face or the Pearl Face??? I am in NEED of a new watch. Times are a Changing in the Shaw House so time for a new watch.
Michael Kors MK5055 or Michael Kors MK5305 ~ which one do you like?

You can get these lovely little bracelets here.

Week 23!! Bring on the Weight Gain

According to What to Expect..... This week marks the beginning of some SERIOUS weight gain. Great because I was really getting worried. NOT. BabyShaw's weight in the next four weeks alone should double (and mine too). Yeah no wonder I am so hungry all the time. SO far it has only been 14lbs. I am hoping to only gain 30 total so this doubling factor has me worried.
Right now BabyShaw is 8 inches and slightly over a pound. Also, the shape of a small doll.

Life in the Shaw House has been hectic. Mr.M was home for a week Yippie!! We did some registering at BabiesRUs. That was quite the trip. Very overwhelming. My favorite is how MrM questions my authority on how I know what we should buy or need.

My favorite part was when he picked out the rocker for the nursery.....

REALLY.... he is insane to think I am going to get up in the middle of the night and nurse a baby in THIS. His reasoning -- "What?? My mom had one of these?" The one thing I have learned is that times have changed and so has comfort levels. Let me tell you all something about me... I am the mother who gets up in the middle of the night, turns off the monitor, slips quietly out of the room not to wake my husband, goes to the nursery and takes care of baby all by myself then slips back into the room and turns monitor back on to sleep. Now for all that -- I deserve a better rocker! Or I could wake the whole house BC if I am up you will be up and feed the baby in bed!! I am sure he will see it my way.

Only other item on our immediate to do list --Buy a Car. Which I am not looking forward to. So wish us luck! Thanks to my mom's co-worker who sent me 2 great boxes of maternity clothes. I am so grateful as I have been trying to make every outfit imaginable work for me.

Have a great week. The Shaw's will be off soon to the Capital for a family vacation and a Train ride. Stay Tuned for the outcome and pictures.

Swooning Over Here

I Love Love Love  this. Mr M. and I have always swapped Love Letters to each other. How amazing would it be to sleep in them? Could take turns finding and reading them or just enjoy their look.

Actual missives collected from a vintage shop in Brooklyn create the swoon-worthy print of Mise en Scene by Ruffian's soft sateen set. Only problem I see is convincing Hubs to spend $268.00 on 2 sheets PLUS pillow Cases. Here is to dreaming ...
