Design Team Call and Baby update

July 17th is my due date. I thought it was kinda cool. Blake was also due on the 17th, yet he made his arrival 5 days early on the 12th of April. Everything was great. The heart rate was a strong 172 and the midwife predicts from that alone, its a girl. I'm not so sure about that one though. I'm pretty sure Blake's heart rate was also above 160, and he is obviously, not a girl. I would love a Haley in our life, but oh she would be so girly and that scares me. So we'll find out in about 12 weeks which it shall be. She put me on Zofran too, but I knew that was coming from my history. I'm glad she sees no reason why I should be high risk this time. I'm grateful for that!

We are finally ready for Christmas at my house. Most of the gifts are bought and now were waiting on the delivery truck to get here so Santa can inspect and wrapped them before he gives them to Blake. I still have a few odds and ins to get but the majority is finished. Our tree this year is real! Wow I know, with red and clear lights and red and gold decorations. OH, and do notice I had help with decorating the tree this year, but I loved the help. I later added and moved things around but I had to get a pic like this. My favorite part was the single huge gold ball on the bottom.

one day at a time

Hello blogland!!!
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have a feeling it only going to get worse. I may even take a break from blogland. Not sure right now.
This pregnancy is headed in the same direction, as with Blake. I am so sick and tired. Its hard to eat, and I'm starving all the time, yet I can eat without getting sick. My body does not handle pregnancy well. I had to take Zofran with Blake, and its so expensive I hope it does not come to that. I have my first ultrasound on Wednesday to make sure baby bean is okay. I should be around 10-11 weeks then. Good news I think we have settled on a girl name, even though I'm thinking this is another boy. We don't agree on any boy names.

Christmas is right around the corner now. Scary! I finally started shopping today. Santa will be bringing Blake this Fisher Price Cool school system (its on sale right now) and I have no clue what else.

I don't have alot of scrappy to show you.

This page was created from sketch #174 over at Scrapbook Challenges.



Scrapbook Challenges will be holding at DT call in January with easy requirements and tons of inspiration. Check us out of you are interested. Join the group and watch out for the notice.

Bailey

Hello blog land, how you all doing today? Here in Georgia, we have had a really nasty weekend. Its been gloomy and rainy Sunday filled with windy, cold chilled air. Doesn't make for a fun shopping day or even a nice dinner. So you ask what have we done all day......Blake played with Thomas and his many feet of track, and of course I played with my pretty papers.

This is my crazy little niece Bailey. She can really be a handful at times, but she is also very loving at others. She started Kindergarten this year and I can already see a huge difference in her. This is her first school picture. This is what I came up with. A simple layered page lightly embellished with Butterflies, bc I can see her becoming a little butterfly herself.



I shall get back to being lazy and I have to think about dinner plans. I really wanted to go to Canyons or Five Guys tonight, but I dont think I want to fight the weather to do so. Also wanted to stop by HD and pick up some twine but I guess that will have to wait also. Happy Monday to all.

Come July

I'm so tired, nauseous (but not sick yet), and hungry. Oh my!!! If this cycle continues, I will be big as a whale by July. So far so good with this little peanut.

Therefore, this was the only LO I was able to finish this week. I love the color in the My Little Shoebox papers. They are so pretty.





I wanted to let everyone know about this site. Lots of fun. Scrapbook Challenges

Big news

I wanted to share this with all by blogging friends.





So if you have any fun name suggestions, throw them out there.

*I'm totally ignoring my miscarriage history, so I hope this turns out in my favor.
