loves of the day.

some things i'm loving now. 

my new lipstick. i consider this an achievement, because we rarely get dressed. but when we do, for some reason red lips add an extra pizazz. if only i could get over the fear of having it on my teeth though. 

ha. someone else loves lipstick too. note: i did not help him do that. 

zak's adorable new shoes. love me some nordstrom rack goodness. especially when they have shoes that don't require me actually lacing them, because it's pretty much the worst. dang right i have "no time to lace". 

these moobs. man. boobs. moobs. i guess i could just write boobs. baby boobs. in any case, i love them. his fatness is so ridiculously fun. i just want to squish him all the time. =) 

my sunflowers from costco. they just brighten up the day. 

the fact that greysen just might be getting enough hair to have bed head. it's only taken 8 months. come on baby, let's start looking like a kid and not like an old man! 

zak's easter egg painting. it's quite beautiful. we've finally learned how to not make everything brown by smearing all the colors together. i think it's pretty cute. 

my new iphone screen.  i spent way too much time downloading all these shortcuts for my apps. but everytime i look at it, it makes me happy. it's an asian app call cocoppa if you want to waste three hours of your life changing your phone. 

driving across the bridge 1. with no traffic. and 2. on a gorgeous day! 

when dad gets to come play with us. zak's been counting down until he could push dad into the foam pit at rockin jump. his life has been made today. 

these ridiculously dumb eggs. that only look good from far away because pinterest sucks balls and  makes crafts look easy. so i guess i only kind of like them. but i still am glad i have some easter decorating going on here. 

this bracelet. i'm addicted to this dumb website. and every time i see this bracelet come up i seriously debate getting it. but then i become too cheap because twenty five bucks... now that's just too much. apparently i'm not an expensive jewelry person. my husband should thank me. but j crew has this bracelet for $125 and i covet it quite frequently. i should just man up and buy this one. 

i'm glad to see that my browsing tonight consisted of pinterest, pinterest, pinterest, facebook, blogging, shopping and facebook. thrilling. and to think my husband says he's going to pull an all nighter for his finals while i do this. i feel so productive. 

.

this post is a culmination of random things since i have nothing exciting to write about. 

1. we went to levi's first ever major league baseball game this past weekend. yankees vs. the oakland a's. it was a lot of fun, we sat very close, ate surprisingly delicious nachos and saw the fireworks. josh and my father came down for the weekend and partied hard with us. 

2. zak is 95% potty trained. he hasn't had an accident while we're out yet, and has figured out how to hold it. it's pretty awesome. he only wears diapers at nighttime and nap time now. he's amazing.

3. i have had a gross desire to cook recently. probably because i want something delicious and don't know what it is, so i just make stuff. and i'm bored. so far this week, we've made zucchini muffins, taquitos, crepes, peanut butter brownie cups, and orange julius smoothies. ask my husband if i've made dinner very frequently though, and that answer is probably not looking as good. 

4. i have a very very intense desire to go shopping now. probably because i hate all my clothes, but i cannot wait until i'm not pregnant. actually, i might buy these non pregnant clothes and just wear them unbuttoned anyways because i love them so much. 

 the ones i actually want are more minty, but the picture on the h&m website wouldn't save. 

going along with this shopping dilemma, i have been having an incredibly hard time getting dressed recently. i will blame it on again, hating my clothes, potty training inside for a week, and the crappy cold we live in. you know it's a bad sign when your kid says "mommy put clothes on and go to zoo!" when i ask him if he wants to go to the zoo tomorrow. {not that i walk around naked, that'd be weird}

5. my friend due three weeks before me is in labor right now. i never thought i'd be jealous of a person giving birth, but i totally wish i could be done now too. six more weeks. six more weeks. six more weeks. 

6. as of next monday, levi is officially finished his first year of dental school. we're 1/3 of the way done!!!

7. being pregnant with a two year old is tough. thank goodness levi is home these last weeks to help my off set my crazy mom-ness. 

8. i kind of hate these boots. we got them as hand me downs and they were hidden in his closet, but somehow he found them. not only are they literally double the size of his feet, he insists on wearing them all the time. and i just give in because i'm too lazy to fight him on it. 

9. sometimes i'm amazed at my child. he just asked if we could go to ikea and buy more choo choo trains for him to play with. not only did we buy those over a month ago, i'm surprised he knows where we went to buy them. he's impressive. 

10. i need something delicious to eat right now. if only i knew what it was that i needed to satisfy me. 

wish list.

i really should be cleaning our house during precious nap time. but instead, i am googling my new "must-have's"for having two children. it's really quite exciting actually, i wish that i could get it ALL. so, here is my list for the moment. 

1. this AMAZING city select stroller. i will be buying it. we've started saving up now, because the price of it is very hefty, but to be able to put the kids in any way i want and have it still fit into places in this crazy city we live in over-rules the ridiculous amount of money. it's the same size as a single stroller, but more versatile and awesomer than a double/tandem stroller. there is only one store in SF that sells it, so i need to go test drive it to hope it lives up to my high expectations. =) 

2. petunia pickle bottom diaper bag. specifically this one. amazing huh? i know. it makes you want to have a kid, just so you can use it. that's how i feel too. again, a hefty price tag. thank goodness for ebay. 

3. j brand maternity jeans. i love j brand jeans. they fit amazing. what would be even more amazing is having a pair of them in maternity jeans. i can dream. these babies are $196. way more than i will be paying for a pair of jeans to wear for 6 months. 

4. ergo baby carrier. i have been introduced to this amazing thing since living here, and i want it. i have a bjorn and it killed my shoulders to carry zak around it even as a newborn. this baby has enough padding/lower back support to make all my troubles be gone. especially since i will have to carry numero dos quite frequently due to chasing another one around all the time. this one is also expensive, {i'm sensing a pattern here} but apparently they come up quite frequently on craigslist. 

that's all i can think of at the moment. not that i really should add anything more to that list, but i can dream. =) i love babies. especially ones that could end up being as cute as mine already is. =)

anything else that i'm missing mom's of two kids? what do you need? 

p.s. i got an ultrasound yesterday and it put me a week and a half ahead! woot woot. it's a nice feeling being able to skip time. haha
