Happy *Late* Halloween!

I am sorry for having gone so long without posting. Although it is kinda nice to be missed! As some of you suspected, the exhaustion has hit in a hard way around here. That mixed with having a very vocal 2 1/2 year old, and it makes for long days! Thanks for dropping by and the comments of concern! I appreciate it!

I went to the Dr. for a 2nd appointment, and everything went really well. They did an ultra-sound and it is amazing that a little person the size of a blueberry already has a heart that beats 122 beats per minute! I could see it just beating away....amazing, God really knows what he is doing.

I am going to have to take an early Glucose test, as I have been constantly thirsty since I found out I was pregnant. I didn't have G. Diabetes with the Princess, but I was on the border. So, I am not going to be surprised if it comes back positive. I will just have to change some eating habits....but no one likes that!

I want to leave you with some adorable pictures of our Minnie Mouse! Hope you all had a great Trick or Treat!

1st Dr. Appt

Today is the first of many doctor's appointments to come. I am excited, but a little nervous to start this all over again.

It has been 3 years since I have been to see these doctors...and to know there is a baby growing inside me. I am relieved that after trying so hard for so long, it has finally happened. However, there is no turning back now. He or she is coming....

What I have been up to...and a big suprise!

Man. If only I could get back on a roll with this blogging thing. I think part of my problem is, I am a little ADD with my interests...and it makes it hard to focus the blog on something. I started out talking about leaving my job, then I moved to grocery deals, next on to my loss of a parent...and then even more random things. Maybe one of these days I will pick something and stick to it.



What have I been up to these past few weeks, you ask? My birthday was in early October, and I mostly asked for money to buy this......

No, it was not $700, it was $299 and for those who don't know what this is, it is a Pink Cricut Expression. I LOVE it. Yes, crafting has become my new focus for today. I have used this so much...I have cut out vinyl hanging on my walls, cards made...and more! If you are interested in knowing more..Google - Christmas with the Cricut. This will give you an idea of how versatile this machine is, and then I just know you will insist on one for yourself. If that is the case, email me I have the smaller one listed on craigslist right now and would be willing to ship.

In other news, I am toying with the idea to open an etsy shop for the cards I have been making. Well, I have actually opened..just not posted anything yet. When I do, I will post a link on here.

Oh, and the big news.....after a year + of trying......I AM PREGNANT!!!!!! Yup, pregnant! I couldn't be happier. It is very early yet, but after months of trying with clomid, couldn't wait to share!

Like I Thought....It was Magical!

It was just how I imagined it would be....the wonder and excitment in her eyes when seeing Mickey and Minnie in person for the first time. She was amazed that they were there, and then proceeded to cry until it was time to meet them and have her picture taken. We are still working on learning to take turns and that the world doesn't revovle around her.

A big thank you to MomCentral for the opportunity to see the show and the amazing chance to meet Mickey and Minnie up close and personal! It was a blast!

It is Going to be Magical!

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be taking my daughter to see Disney on IcevPresents 100 Years of Magic! I have long loved and adored the Mouse myself, but my daughter’s love for him is far above mine. She calls him “Meeska” as in the Mickey Mouse Club House Show, her favorite.

Time on My Hands

I have had some extra time on my hands lately, and I have been messing around with some photo editing software. This is my result...some pretty good ones if I do say so my self. If you like these, I downloaded the software FREE from Picasa, I love it!
