um.......
Hello blogger world, I have not seen you in a while. Guess what....I had a baby!
I am now on my last week of my first trimester! This week could not have come fast enough. It is not easy to not think about the possibility of problems. We heard the heartbeat a few weeks ago. Things are looking good! Our baby is nearly 3 inches long and even has finger prints! It is pretty hard to believe something that small that is growing inside me will become a roughly 8lb baby!

This time around I am feeling better. The medicine that I am on is working better, so I feel less sick.
Because of this, I have a feeling that I will gain more weight with this pregnancy than I did with Laura. So far I have gained 1 pound. By the end of the first trimester to be on target I needed to have gained another pound. Oh well, I will make up for it durring my second trimester.

We will be able to find out if it is a boy or girl in about a month and a half. I want three kids, but I will have to convince Matt of that! :) I really want one of each, so a boy would be nice sometime. Having another girl would be fun too, and because I alrealy have plenty of girl clothes, it would be cheaper (for now)!

I just wanted to let you all know how I am doing.



I have not blogged in forever! So here is an update:

Laura is now a few days away from being 17 months old. She is doing very well wanting to use the potty, and sometimes even tells us when she needs to go! She is talking up a storm and has taken up chasing the cat.

I am working my seasonal tax job at Jackson Hewitt Tax service.

And the most exciting news..........Laura is going to be a big sister!
I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and just slightly less nauseous this time around. And the crazy part is the baby's due date is Laura's second birthday! (October 18th) It's going to be a crazy 7 months!



Baby Necessities!!!
This is my new project! I am making burp clothes, bibs and blankets.
Eventually I will have enough to start selling them. Let me know if you want me to make you something! I will have prices up later.

Burp Clothes: triple layered to soak up big spit ups!
Bibs: triple layered to soak up big spills! My own design. I could never find bibs that covered the right area with a good material. So I made one!
Blankets: soft and cuddly!

Here are some examples of my work:
(a couple bibs were made by my mother when we were in the designing process)



Bigger bib for bigger baby



Warm, fuzzy and fun blanket! I made this one for my new baby niece, Olive.


Small bib, for small baby :)



Laura at the pumpkin patch:

Ever seen a one year old make it through a corn maze by herself? I did! Two dead ends and one wrong turn, but she made it out.






Halloween:
Laura was a pumpkin for Halloween! This was my costume when I was little also. I am suprised it held up so well.
Trick-or-Treat with daddy. We only went to two houses, but she did well!
Home from a successful night! Now to get ready to hand out candy to the big kids.
Happy Birthday Lauralynn!!!!
Laura had a great birthday. We had a small party at our house. She has grown so fast in one year! I love being home and teaching her new things.


I wanted Laura to have a home made cake. Laura got her own little one to dive into.

Her new doll. She carries her around everywhere!

Feeding daddy!
