Today is just one of those days where I can't seem to find the energy to do ANYTHING!!! Axton is having a bad day, just grouchy as heck, gets mad if you don't let him do whatever the heck he wants and I'm just not havin it. I am sooo tired even though I slept like a rock last night. Axton is sleeping so I was going to try to get some Zzz's in as well but I can't even find enough energy to get up off this chair to go lay down. How bad is that? And to think that I wanted to accomplish baking some cookies or muffins today. Tsk Tsk Caitlin. It is either I wake up in the morning and have so much energy I don't know what to do with it..or I wake up in the morning and just wish I could sleep the whole rest of the day. My head is just in this fog and I can't shake myself out of it. Not to mention my heartburn is absolutely just horrific. I woke up in the middle of the night last night with my esophagus on fire, ate some tums and fell back asleep. I know I said a couple blogs back that my heartburn has returned full force but its getting to that unbearable level. I'm used to heartburn, but when it wakes you from a dead sleep that is just terrible. At least I don't have a problem eating tums..I mean I don't think they taste good but I can handle it just fine.
I did accomplish some stuff via internet today. My friend gave me a promo code for a free baby sling as well as a free udder cover for breastfeeding. All you have to do is pay for shipping. What a deal since I needed both! Well, I might have been able to use my sisters udder cover but I'm assuming she'll still be breastfeeding when Zaidyn is born. Plus it was free so who gives a rippee raddle doodle.
I got this Uddercover which I'm actually super excited about because I am such a baby about breastfeeding in public:

I really liked this one below but I thought that this pattern might only bring MORE attention to me, but it is suuuuuuuuuper cute.

I am hoping I have as much luck breastfeeding Zaidyn as I did with Axton. I mean I did only get to 4/5 months with Axton but that is because I really wasn't trying hard at all to keep up a supply and once I went back to work I just kinda gave up. (Bad Mommy!) Now I know what to do and what not to do. I also have this udder cover to help me in public because with Axton I would just supplement with formula because I had such a hard time managing a blanket, Axton, nipple shield, and everything else under the sun I had to do to breastfeed. The uddercover was originally 39.98 and this gal got it for 9.95. What what!
This is the sling that I got: (I can guarantee I won't be that skinny and good looking as the girl sporting it)

Or did I get this one? Oh rats, now I can't remember which one I decided to go with.

Well green is my favorite color so maybe I went with the green one but I know I really liked the purple too. I'll have to let you know once I get it in the mail. These slings were 49 and I got it for 15! I could have gotten it for a little cheaper but I got a size exchange insurance on it just in case I didn't get the right size. There were stinking 8 different sizes what the h?

Anyhow, I've also been browsing the world wide web for ideas and such for the nursery. I am just torn. Okay not really I'm just being kinda lazy about it. I really really really like the idea of an "red apple" theme. But finding stuff is hard as heck. I figured I could just get some plain red bumpers, and find blankets, decoration etc to bring in the apple theme business. My sister made a super cute mobile for Dexter of owls so I think we could make one as well except with apples. My sister also had the idea of cupcakes. I love nature but flowers seems like something a lot of people do for their baby girls. I would love to do trees etc? I just have so many ideas and time is running out here people. I will be 27 weeks tomorrow. That means in 10 weeks I will be full term. That just gave me butterflies in my stomach. Yikolas. Cody and I are picking up the crib and changing table Sunday morning. My step mom owns a consignment store and she got a crib and changing table in that is in really good condition so she said we could have it. SCOOOOORE. Tomorrow hopefully Cody and I can have a date night in Hudson. We have a gift card to use at Agave Kitchen so we could also run to Target and pick up a crib mattress. I got a couple things yesterday that was on our list like nursing pads, breastmilk storage bags, and something else but I can't remember. I have an electric pump, but I am hoping my sister will let me use her manual. A manual pump is stinking like 40 some bucks! What the heck! Axton has awoken so that means my time here is done.
