Getting back in the Groove

I really hate that I keep going off track with this blog!! I know it happens to the best of us but still.
This pregnancy has me all nutty right now, I am going to need to buy EVERYTHING but I can't buy ANYTHING because I do not know what I am having yet!!
Also I know that if we have a boy its going to cause a HUGE fight between me and hubby because I dont want to circumsize and he is all for it...GAH!!!
Anyway..I am at 13wks now and I go back to the OB on the 24th of September, hopefully she will have me set up an appt for the Anatomy Ultrasound then. Sorry for rambling :D

a crafty wife, is a happy wife....

Well in my case this is so!  I have been doing a few projects lately. Mostly plastic canvas work, but I am also learning to crochet. My latest "big" project is a Sunbonnet Welcome Sign I made for a craft exchange that I am apart of this spring.

In the midst of everything crafty, we are packing up our house to move in May. Its a bit crazy but I know it will all work out for the best.

Back to crafting...I also started making suncatchers with the plastic canvas the one I did last night is a dragonfly (pictured above). I will also get a picture of the sign to post but do not have one right now. I will be making more things over the next couple of months and hope to maybe set up a booth at a craft show in the fall and winter time. If you want handmade ornaments just let me know :)

I keep saying I am going to post more ofter but it hasn't happened maybe now that I am doing more crafting I will be post more about them.

Love you all

uh, yeah.....

Ok, ok I have not been as faithful to my blog as I would like to be...but lets face it right now my days seems pretty dull with AJ in school and all. He is doing marvelous by the way!! He is WAY ahead of his class mates academically but socially he still needs to be with his class. His reading skills have blossomed and he will be in a first grade reading class for now to assess where he needs to be headed. I am super proud of him, just goes to show all our homeschooling paid off!

I am working on clearing out things I no longer need, things that should have been trashed long ago...stuff I had in highschool posters etc... So I started yesterday and have made pretty good progress, work will continue this evening after Landon goes home.

I also think I am going to start on a project this week, making a scrapbook of my Auntie Claire's life. I am going to Chesapeake this weekend to visit everyone I am very happy about this. Have fun until next time....

New Years is coming....

Well its been quite a while since I have posted anything....I've tried a few times and it wouldn't allow the post to go through, so then I just give up. For the New Year I am going to work hard to try and post more often.

Adrian is doing great in school he is so smart! Only problem is he talks a LOT!! I am so happy I took so much time with him when he was home all the time working on "school" stuff.

I have been doing some babysitting since August its been a lot of fun and has made me realize that I want to finish my degree in Early Childhood Education, after that I am going to look into Childrens Ministry because thats just where I feel I need to be heading.

Thanksgiving and Christmas went well. Adrians 6th birthday was right after Thanksgiving, we had a very small party Transformers themed...

No baby yet...we shall see what the new year brings us...

....funny things in life....

So I was thinking today....things that use to excite us as children and teenagers no longer make me excited! What does are really strange things being a mom and house wife now, for instance a few weeks ago i needed to buy a shower curtain liner it made me so happy to have it a $2.97 shower curtain liner!! And today I went to walmart and bought some Dawn dishliquid...dishliquid!! I hate doing dishes yet it made me really excited to go buy it wth!! ha ha

Just something that i was thinking about...........

update on ttc

SO.....I just finished friday night my 2nd round of clomid..The 1st round i successfully ovulated (according to the dr BUT my # was only 10.9, and I looked it up and on a medicated cycle my number should have been well over 15) BUT my dr seems to think its going great so I will keep trying...I am possibly 5 days from ovulation right now..I am charting and taking temps everyday...so I should know by monday...lol keep your fingers crossed for me

pregnancy shows

I watch these shows on a regular basis, they drive me crazy, but I still watch them. This morning I was watching Make Room for Multiples, and I saw something pretty exciting, the woman who was having triplets hired a doula to help comfort her before and after the c-section she had to have. 2 of the 3 babies were left in NICU for a while and when the parents went back to the hospital the doula came over to care for the baby at home and immediately put the baby into a moby wrap!
I just thought it was neat to see a doula on these shows I have seen midwives but never a doula and I just thought it was really neat!
