or pass out or make any kind of in your face type comment.
This is a blog post by yours truly.
Here's the lowdown:
I am still pregnant, The Girl still requires lots of attention (as do I), the dogs have taken to their annual fall activity... digging up the backyard and bringing into the house what seems like half of the yard in their paws, (they repeat this activity in the spring; I hate it then too) the hubs is still working full time, still in school full time, and is pretty much part time music director at church... oh yeah, and he's a full time daddy and hubby (no small task there either).
Recently I spent 10 days in NY to be with family at the time of my uncle's passing. The time with family was great, it usually is, but I felt torn knowing that C was at home still trying to work and take care of the girl, who seemed to get moodier as the days passed by without her mommy. Honestly the break was probably good for both of us. :)
I'd upload some new pix of The Girl but I can't seem to find my CF card adapter at the moment. Basically she's huge, 36" tall and 36 lbs. Officially, I'm not supposed to be lifting her but yeah, tell that to a 2 year old!
Okay, I don't know when I'll do this again so....
~til next time!

I'm alive I promise
I'm just not into blogging right now. I don't know what my deal is either. I haven't really been reading blogs either.
Here's the scoop:
I'm still pregnant. I'm still T I R E D!!! I'm getting big and I don't like it, it is too early. With The Girl I didn't start showing until way late in the pregnancy and I know that everyone says with the second one you show earlier blah blah blah... but I'm already uncomfortable and I'm not looking forward to 5 more months of this. I'm feeling rather neglected by my doctor, she only seems me every 4 weeks! LOL We are having another sono the beginning of October, I still think we are going to wait to find out the gender, but if we wanted to find out this would be the one where we would find out. (just for the record, I'm 'feeling' boy; but who knows really.)
The Girl is so much fun now; she's learning new words it seems every hour. She seriously is the best kid ever and this new one has a lot to live up to! (no pressure though of course! ;) )
We were in Austin for the Labor Day weekend and like the good scrapbooking mother that I am, I took our camera but never not once did I pull it out to take a picture! oy!
~Til next time...

The Girl's 2nd Birthday
We waited for some friends to get back from vacation before we had her birthday party.... it was quite the success if I do say so myself. We had a lot of friends join us to celebrate (but still only about 1/2 of what we had last year!).
I was on a mission to find a cookie monster cake, The Girl is in love with Sesame Street, but Elmo is not her favorite, however it seems that all the affordable cake making places focus on the E guy. On Thursday after having searched pretty diligently for a week for a cookie monster cake I had a brilliant idea... I went to Samsclub and asked them to make the Elmo cake... in blue so that it would look like cookie monster. They agreed and YAY look what we came home with the next day:
We had a blast and got lots of great stuff for The Girl to play with and to wear. Seriously, we have the bestest friends in the world!
OH! I forgot to tell you... the eyes, (nose), and mouth were plastic. Elmo has a giant orange nose and um, Cookie doesn't, and the cake came w/ the elmo 'parts' already in place; the eyes and nose were one piece, so we gently lifted the eyes/nose combo off the cake, cut the eye circles which left a small amount of the orange nose still on the circles, then we placed the eyes at the top of the head of the cake (where Cookie's eyes are) into the icing until you couldn't see the orange anymore. Also the cupcakes came with little Elmo heads on them, which I removed and placed mini chocolate chips in their place. The Girl LOVED her cookie cake, she talked about it well into the night and even some today. Since we discovered last year that The Girl has some sort of food sensitivity (we thought it was food coloring, we may be right but we are still unsure the skin on her face breaks out when it comes in contact with some food items); I removed any colored icing from her piece of cake. She still broke out though but at least she wasn't blue and from what I hear we also won't have interesting colored diaper fillings. :) I'll leave you with that thought!

I might as well...
let the cat out of the bag...
we are starting our 12th week of pregnancy.
Yes, it was a surprise.
Yes, I do know what causes this condition... now! ;)
Yes, God still performs miracles.
Yes, I am still considered a high risk pregnancy.
No, we are not going to find out the gender of the baby before it is born.
No, I am not ready; emotionally, physically, or mentally.
No, this is not a joke. :)
Did I miss anything? :)
