Brief Update.. too sore to say more.

Okay, So I'm SO bad at blogging it's not even funny, but I'm still trying to get into a routine with the new little one. SO this is a quick note to inform my small following that I am not dead. Kaitlyn is becoming more and more grown up everyday, it's mind boggling! She has learned how to count to ten, is working on the potty training thing, and loves to help me with the baby whenever I give her the chance. The downside of her growing up is she has become fairly manipulative and has mastered the art of temper-tantrums.... oh the joy.

Kylie is just so much fun! This last week she started smiling like real smiles and cooing when you talk to her. It's adorable. She's so exhausting to take care of though because she is a VERY light sleeper like me and much unlike her sister who can sleep through anything. I do love how much more cuddly she is than Kaitlyn ever was. She loves to be held all the time, which is a good thing sometimes and a bad thing other times. But all in all, she is a beautiful little bundle of joy that I'm so excited to be able to have.

So I have many, MANY more things I want to talk about and post, but I just plain don't feel up to it today. I had an awful root canal this morning which required me to see a specialist for and I have to go finish the other half of the root canal in 3 weeks due to severe deep infection which must be resolved first. Yeah... just not fun. SO... hopefully I will get a chance this weekend to post some cute pictures and tell a few more stories of what's been going on with me lately! Thanks for checkin in!

Kylie Grace

She's here! Kylie Grace was born Tuesday August 26th, 2008 at 11:01 PM. She weighed 7lbs 8oz and was 20 inches long. It's oodles of fun having her around, besides the sleep deprivation. Kaitlyn is slowly adjusting to having her around. She loves to play with her and give her lots of kisses, but she's not so keen on the shift of attention that's been goin on. anywho, I haven't had much free time for pictures of her yet, but I took these ones in the hospital. As soon as I have some time to sit down and actually take some good pictures (which I'm hoping will be this weekend), I'll post em right up! :)


PS- For friends who also read the Untouchables blog, sorry this one is kind of a repeat of that. :P

Fun with Jewelery and Stickers

So, this is gonna be a pretty lazy post. I went to my doctor today and I'm dilated to a 3 and should be having my baby any day now, which will be much relief for my discomfort and an exciting new responsibility to add to my life. SO! With that in mind, I'm not feeling super high energy, but I really wanted to get these pictures of Kaitlyn up before I forget, even though I didn't really get a chance to edit them just yet! First ones, we played dress up with my jewelery... it was fun. Second group... she got into our left over yard sale stickers and kept running back and forth between me and daddy to get more stickers put on. It was lots of fun and she thought it was hilarious. So that's about all I can manage to get on for right now, but enjoy!

My weekend with Katria

So! It's taken me a few days to post, but hey, I'm here! So this last weekend, Ray came down to visit me and we totally got pedicures! K, given mine was VERY disappointing as far as professional pedicures go, I still had fun just doing something "girly". So after a wonderful day of shopping for MORE craft supplies, as if I seriously need anything else to fill up my craft room, we got some dinner and headed back to begin our big project of the evening. I made a Giselle hair clippie to go with the bow board I made for Chilly. It was rockin... i just have to say. And as I worked on that, Katria made an awesome flower arrangement for me, since she's just so super talented like that!


My awesome Giselle hair clippie!

See kids... this is what you look like when you play around with pot!

Ray with some grass and floral wire.

Making everything just perfect and lovely for my viewing pleasure!

The amazing finished product (in day light so you can see it!). Come on folks, give her a hand!

But I must make a note, I made a few minor adjustments to the final product which is what i took pictures of, and apparently I broke it! Meaning, Ray said I unbalanced it and she's gonna smite me and correct my damage when she comes back down in a few weeks!

My little one on ultrasound!!!

Okay, so I had yet another ultrasound done on me not too long ago, and I was lucky enough that the nurse loved to get good pictures of the baby. And randomly, my darling husband asks what kind of machines they use for the 3D ultrasounds that I've been so wanting to do. So the nurse pushes a "magic button" and BAM! here's my baby in 3D! I think she looks a lot like Kaitlyn... but that's just me personally.... ENJOY!

Shoutin out and spreadin some love! and A GIVEAWAY!

So my lovely friend Katria is having a blog give away, and in order to allow myself more and more chances to win, I am givin her "Massive Props" and a "Word". Lol... wow I'm glad I don't really use words like that... it comes out so geeky. But we have been friends for a REALLY long time and have some wonderful memories together, some crazy ones too, but a lot of good ones!

AND I'll give some sweet shout outs to Chilly, another amazing friend. Though i haven't known her nearly as long as Katria, I have a deep appreciation for her ability to keep Katria happy, and also how well she keeps her blog updated! YAY FOR CHILLY! (And I think it's amazing that she's giving away such a freakin cool prize on her blog! PIRATES FOREVER!!!


Also I'm going to copy this game they both have to see what interesting thing pop up for me! I don't really have anything cool to give away... OH WAIT!! I know!! Whoever wins my little giveaway.. I will make them a custom blog logo (like my pretty Creative Moments one up top here on my blog) made to their specifications. That's about the most talent I have so I'm going with that for now! And even if you don't want my almost cool prize

The Blogging Game

Here is a fun little game... leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time or a long time, anything that you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It is pretty funny to read the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you are playing and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. On your mark... get set... blog those memories!


So getta thinkin about how cool you think I am and any none humiliating memories you have of me! I'm off to get an all ice snow cone!! (no flavor is the best flavor!!)

Quick Update

So I'll be honest.... I'm a big time grump right now because I'm so incredibly uncomfortable! I've reached the point in my pregnancy where I don't sleep, I can't get comfortable no matter how I sit, lay, stand or move. Don't get me wrong, it's all part of the being pregnant and miracle of life thing I know and understand. I just wish it was a little less unpleasant... or that Kaitlyn would be a little more cooperative with me on regular daily tasks that have become so much harder as my stomach stretches to the point that everyone who looks at me says "You look like your about to 'Pop'!!" Nothin to boost your self esteem like people letting you know your still pregnant and fat! lol jk.

Anywho, enough complaining for right now. I had my visit with my prenatal specialist this last week and discovered that my previous complications I was having have pretty much faded away and I'm kinda in the home stretch as far as my pregnancy goes. But that's not the exciting part! As soon as I have energy and am not so busy being in pregnant misery (which should be some time later this week lol) I will post my adorable pictures from my ultrasound. My hubby randomly asked the nurse what kind of machines they use for the 3D ultrasounds, so she pushed one little button on her computer and started bringing up 3D images of our little one on the way! It was really amazing and she was really nice and patient to get us some really great pictures! It's amazing how much our new girl looks like our daughter now! You can really see a lot of similarities in their features just from the ultrasound!

So besides the doctors offices, and laying in my bed, I've been fairly busy around our place this last week. We got a new couch and a complete office set for Alex this week and have been setting it up and decorating here and there. He is really happy with it because he now has a professional work space, but we also added some touches which he says make it feel like his "MAN space" since his previous space has now been painted pink and covered in little princess decor. Also, we had a garage sale this last Saturday, which actually had a pretty good turn out. It was a lot of work, and pretty tiring, but we got rid of a lot of things that were just taking up too much space and made some money on the side... which is NEVER a bad thing.

So for now, that's pretty much an update. So I'll see yall on the flip side!!!
