It's been a while

Well, hello to everyone. Its been a while since I have written. Alot has happened since then. We built a new room for my son, and converted his old room into a baby girl's room. That's right! We are having a little girl. Her name is Braelynn. I'm currently 33 weeks along and on bedrest. The bedrest is due to me going into labor at 31 weeks, which was somewhat anticipated. I have a history of preterm labor and birth with my other two children. So, time seems to be creeping on slowly, and I'm starting to get stir crazy. I can only watch so many movies on the couch. *sigh. I wish I could give into my nesting desires and organize something. But I have 2 more weeks before I'm allowed to really get on my feet.

One thing that my husband and I have recently started is making our own wine. I always thought it was hard to do, but it's really quite simple and fun. We have bottled 5 bottles of Apple and 5 bottles of Strawberry. Next we will have about 30 bottles of Peach and about 5 bottles of Cherry pomegranate. I really can't wait to see how that one turns out.

Well, I'm off of here for now. Tomorrow I may blog about my upcoming baby shower.

March 14, 2011

Well, I intended on writing the next day. Its been 2 months since my first post. Alot has happened since then. My husband did get his new job and drives an hour and a half, one way, to get there. I've been getting up at 4:30am every morning and making his lunch and ironing his clothes. The house is cleaned every day and supper is ready when he walks in the door. Of course this is all done at the same time that I take the kids to and from their elementary school, homework, projects, and my daughter's Gymnastics class. Life is great though. My husband says I'm bored, so I am learning how to sew. I've made my daughter 3 dresses already. I can't wait to make this next outfit. It's a white eyelit tank top and yellow capris with ladybugs on them. Although, I really can't start on it until I get our taxes done this week. Procrastination haunts me. I don't know why I haven't started on them yet. Maybe it's the mileage that I've not wanted to calculate. My old job required me to use my personal vehicle to travel in while I marketed for a mobile stress test unit. So, I have lots of miles to add up. Yuck!

On a good note, we started going to a new church 2 months ago. Its a Non-denominational church and are lving it. We attend on Sunday mornings and then go to a small group on Sunday nights. The small groups provide more of a learning time and offer everyone to open up and ask questions, while we study the scripture .

Ok, im about to fall asleep while writing this, but I'll try to write more frequently on this blog.

January 11, 2011

Hi there. This is my first blog. Im starting this to express my thoughts and feelings while I'm out of work and staying home with my kids,dogs, and house. I hope I have fun doing this. The only other thing that I've done in the past is myspace and facebook. But I like to write and didn't want everyone to think that I was hogging facebook with all my comments.

Well, to start off my day the kids woke me up at 7 am. I really didn't want to get up. I was dreaming and was lethargic. I did manage to get up. Its another snowday. And the kids wanted a big breakfast. Pancakes it was. Me on the otherhand, have been trying to shed some pounds. So, I had one teensie tiny pancake with no syrup and a bowl of low fat yogurt. I'm drinking tons of water and exercising on the gazelle 30 minutes everyday. So far I've done it for 11 days. I've lost 4 pounds over the last week. I'm really enjoying my time off work. I hope that my husband gets his new job and I can continue to stay here and keep the house. That's really where my heart is. I hated going into a stressful job everyday and having someone tell me how to spend my time. Life is good now and my stress level has gone way down.

Now I've got some cleaning to do. I am trying to keep the house clean to impress my husband. So, tahtah for now and I'll write later.
okay I'm back. It's been an interesting afternoon. I got something cleaned. And the dog chewed up my son's new nerf sword. Needless to say, the dog got in trouble and my daughter because she was supposed to be keeping an eye on him. Well, I've got chicken sat out to cook for dinner and I'm just waiting for my sweet hubby to get home. I'll blog again tomorrow. :o)
