Nesting Urges.

I’m sneezing from all the dust that is trying to re-settle in my house after I cleaned my room.  Yes, you heard me right, I actually CLEANED my room.  It was gross in there and all my clothes were nowhere to be found.  I actually hung up clothes and folded clothes and I dusted and… Continue reading Nesting Urges.

Unexpected Pregnancy

I knew I was in for it the moment after everything happened.  I ran to the calendar, looked at the date and just as I suspected I was close to ovulating. GREAT!!  I didn’t want to get pregnant again at all but I resigned myself to the possibility and gave myself a few kicks for… Continue reading Unexpected Pregnancy

Quite The Tumble

Yesterday Silas had a VERY good time discovering the great outdoors.  He ran back and forth on the deck for hours!! He was very cute to watch.  I think he had forgotten what sunshine is because where we live, we don’t see it that much this time of year.  Mark (step-dad) and I were about… Continue reading Quite The Tumble

Notes From 100 Mile

Well, we made it to our destination but not without a few curve balls.  Silas pretty much freaked out in the vehicle after he woke up from a very short nap.  My mom and I spent a lot of time singing to him and it was “There’s a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea”… Continue reading Notes From 100 Mile

Swimming, Napping and a Potty.

So I went to the doc yesterday.  It was a fine experience except that he got mad at me for not napping.  I had a nap today, I hope he’s happy.  My pee was fine, my blood pressure was fine, my weight was….fine….I guess.  Napping is important so I’ve started even though I’m not the… Continue reading Swimming, Napping and a Potty.

Period Period Period!!!!!

Is saying “period” offensive?  Last night we were dinning in the fine ABC Country Restaurant when I exclaimed in a loud-ish fashion “She hasn’t got her period yet?” referring to my sister in law who’s had a baby over a year ago.  This one lady behind me whipped around and looked at me.  I notice… Continue reading Period Period Period!!!!!

The In-laws Have Arrived

The in-laws arrived yesterday and we were able to spend a few hours with them in their hotel room eating pizza and cake, yum!  I’m very excited to spend the next few weeks with them and have them get to know Silas a bit more.  It’s 8am and I usually don’t write at this time,… Continue reading The In-laws Have Arrived

16 Months Old

I just realized that Silas is now 16 months old.  Oh to have a birthday every month, I guess we’ve all been through it though.  I can’t believe the changes that happen from month to month.  This past month his vocabulary has really taken off.  He’s learned up, down, shower, water, food, hungry, nose, eyes,… Continue reading 16 Months Old

Buying a Car and a Visit From Cootie!

Not much to talk about today. I can’t write for long because I want to get my house cleaned up for Courtenay and Emily. They should be here in a few hours if the highways are OK. I’m very excited to see them. Courtenay (Cootie) was my best friend in high school, we lived across… Continue reading Buying a Car and a Visit From Cootie!

Fun With Hair

Yesterday* we had our hair day at Jennie’s house. Jules, Jennie, Amanda and Brent all got their hair done. I thought I’d provide some before and after photos for you all to enjoy. For some odd reason Jennie and her daughters Ali and Amanda decided it was pink PJ day also so they look rather… Continue reading Fun With Hair

Just a Regular Update

I’m sooooo tired.  Brent and I went to a wedding last night and once we got home, we talked in bed for a super long time about his work.  The wedding was nice.  It was nice to get away with my hubby and enjoy free food.  The food was really good too!  The wedding was… Continue reading Just a Regular Update
