New Ebay Shop...Shop-Boom-Boom

I love discovering new shops on Ebay! This one makes me crazy-happy. I bought the sweet dress above yesterday and though I haven't received it yet, I'm confident it will fit due to the meticulous measurements the shop-owner supplies with each pictured item. The dress above reminds me of something from The Sound of Music or something.

Anyway, I love almost all the dresses and seperates the shop has to offer. The prices are also about HALF what other vintage-reproduction sites would charge and the store's feedback is extremely positive. There was a little black playsuit that I wanted to wear to the Viva Las Vegas car show but I lost out on the bid. So when I emailed Melissa to ask about it, my order was held until she had one in my size to send me...and combined shipping. Yay!

Marvelous Motivation!

So after a nine-month hiatus, I've finally started visiting all my old internet haunts to see what is new. Though I haven't been cleared to exercise yet, what other motivation could I need to recapture my pre-pregnancy size than dresses like the one above? I am inlove with Trashy Diva, I must say. Pinupgirl has a whole bunch of new stuff that I adore and did I mention the shoes? My lord, the shoes! You guys have GOT to see them:

And don't forget to go back and check out the 'streetwear', 'hollywood' swimsuits ( I'm all OVER that black Marilyn one!), and the purses. Since Pinupgirl carries several designer brands, there are some items that are very pricey. But their own brand is extremely reasonable as are most of the shoe selections.

I'm off to eat some nonfat yogurt, myself. heh heh

25 weeks

6 months and counting.

Everything seems to be okay so far but I'm already feeling a bit of pressure due to weakened muscles, I suppose. At my doctor's visit last Monday I found out that I have gained 7 lbs in all. I was excited to finally go up on the scale but then last Saturday the whole family came down w/ a stomach virus and I think I may have lost some of that.

Victor is very active and likes to kick things off my belly. I'm curious to see how he differs from his brothers who at this moment are arguing loudly over which of them gets to play with the blue 'clone trooper'. Johnson is such an analytical academic and Nathan is just the opposite. He's kind of an athletic , happy-go-lucky sort.

I'm really looking forward to the convention in a couple of weeks. I hope my ankles hold out and my little aches and pains don't get too unbearable for those few days. The chairs are hard so I'm gonna try and remember to bring a 'huge pilla'. I'm also determined to wear my cute shoes, no matter what. The ones I'm wearing are heels but ones I've worn a few times so they are nicely broken in. The other day at the meeting I got up from my chair and proceeded to fall right on my knees at the entrance of the ladies room. Everyone freaked out and told me I had to stop wearing heels and no manner of explaining that my foot had fallen asleep and it would have happened if I was barefoot would appease them. So I'm thinking I'll get lots of scolding when they see my cute 'lucky lous' and 'dancing hearts'. :)
