Been creating today =)

I have been so lazy with this pregnancy, and haven't made many bows lately. My bow group did a Valentine's Day launch, and I finally made some bows for it. I think they turned out really cute - be sure to check them out on ebay!

Twilight Turtle Giveaway =)

I've had my eye on these cute Twilight Turtles for a long time, and now that we have a new baby boy on the way I've decided that we really do "need" one! I showed these to my mom the other day in a little shop we were in, but passed it up because, well, we don't even have a crib, stroller, or other basics for this baby yet. However - today (thanks to my good friend Angie's blog ) I ran across this giveaway on Seven Dogs and a Baby - they are giving away a Twilight Sea Turtle to one of their lucky blog readers! It projects stars onto the walls/ceiling and is supposed to help baby sleep. Goodness knows I'm hoping for a good sleeper, but based on the other two beauties I brought into this world, we will be looking for some help in that department. I entered to win (pleasepleaseplease let me win!) - and if you have a child with sleep issues, you should enter too!!!

25.5 Week Appointment

I had my 25.5 week appointment today, and took the dreaded glucose test. Good news - I passed!!!! The only other news from today was that my iron is very low (I'm a vegetarian, so no big surprise there) and that my delivery date via c-section will be 7-10 days before my due date. This will put me around March 3rd for a delivery date. I can't wait to get it scheduled and start counting down!!! I'm getting so excited to meet my little man!

I go back every three weeks now, so my next appointment is the week of Christmas. My little guy is starting to kick and move all.the.time now - and I just love it! I'm so thankful for a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy. I just feel very lucky today.

LAZY Sunday!

I am SO lazy today! I am still in my PJs and it's 2:45. In my defense, I am still recovering from a nasty upper respiratory infection, so it's a bit understandable. Even still, there are approximately 10,000,000 things I *should* be doing todayI refuse to feel guilty, though! I am holding my lazy head high! I think every mom deserves a lazy day every once in awhile =)

I do have to get myself motivated, though - we are attempting to take our Christmas card pictures today. Wish me luck! Photographing four unwilling kids isn't going to be easy! I'll post the results later.

On another note, I haven't had a chance to blog about our *horrible* week. Rodney was traveling for business (of course - the only times he travels bad things happen - last time he went I got a terrible stomach virus) and Emily and started getting a little sick. Well, a little sick turned into ALOT sick for poor Emily, and she ended up with a fever of 106.8!!! Needless to say, we spent some time in the ER, and I was scared out of my mind. She has slowly recovered but missed almost a week of school. Luckily, she made it to her Tuneful Turkey performance, which was just absolutely precious. As I mentioned earlier, I was pretty sick, too, and got about 2 hours' sleep the entire week. Thank goodness my hubby is now home, and we are all getting well again. I'm hoping for good health through the new year around here!!!
