It’s weird today.  I don’t feel well, but I can’t really put my finger on it.  John really didn’t want to leave this morning, and both animals are following me around.  Maybe they know something I don’t. Fridays appointment had me one centimeter dilated, but a floating baby head and tilted cervix.  What does that mean?  The doctor doesn’t think it will be this week.  However, he did say that we are looking at a 9.5 pound … [Read more...]

I found this on Jenny’s site, and I think it is a great idea!  So, I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week (with the baby on the way, I can almost guess it won’t happen that quick), but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by … [Read more...]

I swear to god, I have breasts again!  Definition between breasts and baby!  It’s absolutely weird!  The baby started dropping on Monday…  But this morning, it’s totally obvious.  Ok, well to me and my mom.  Not to John.  He has made a mental note, but he still doesn’t see it.  I think it’s great that I don’t look so much like a big blob in the front again. I’m utterly tired.  Just getting ready in the … [Read more...]

This weekend I had my first shower.  I was surprised how much fun I had…  I got so many nice presents, it’s just absolutely insane!  Both Anne and Andrea have been pumping me up with lots of baby leftovers including clothes, toys, swings, etc.  I feel so lucky to have friends who want to share their used stuff!  I’ll try and take pictures (not too many were taken at the shower) of what the baby received.  Really, I’m overwhelmed. I thought … [Read more...]

So, the past month has been interesting to say the least.  I’ll talk about them in order of how I remember… My dad had a successful surgery to remove the cancer in his stomach, bowels, pancreas, etc.  I’ve not seen much of him.  I went to the hospital a twice, but I’ve not visited him since he got out.  As much as the relationship between my step-family is supposed to be on the “mend,” I just don’t see it.  I feel like an … [Read more...]

So, Jennifer has asked me to update.  Hmm.  I really don’t want to update.  I feel like that I don’t have anything positive to talk about.  But, I can update, and tell you all what has been going on. Mom had surgery on December 4 to replace the lining in her artificial hip.  The doctor was very happy with the surgery, however, my mom is still exhausted, and now she is worried that something else has gone wrong.  We have been making cookies in the … [Read more...]

Lookie how I got to spend my evening last night!  I got my last SP11 box from Melissa.  I swear that Melissa is a much better shopper than I.  She said she didn’t go over the limit.  I think she lies! This box started with lots of pink paper, which I love! I was too impatient to wait and take a picture of each item, so, here is the whole thing opened! I got 2 skeins of Plymouth Smile, in the prettiest fall colors.  Then there is a pattern for a purse to make … [Read more...]

I almost forgot…  Mark has some wedding photos for us to look at.  Enjoy. … [Read more...]

This morning, I get the call that my dad is back in the hospital.  Apparently, my step-mother took him in last night, but I didn’t hear about it until this morning, when my Aunt Dee called me.  I might have been able to go see him last night, but today is a bit more difficult.  He has a fever, and from what I can gather, they are going to run a scope down is stomach again to see if they can see something else going on. Mom was unable to get the surgery time today, so next … [Read more...]
