My punkin' pie.......this kid is so friggin happy :) If ALL of my kids had been this way, I would have had a litter! NOt that Sam and Alex weren't happy babies, but she's just DIFFERENT...maybe mom and dad are more confident with #3? LOL

What's an updated blog w/o a picture of my sweet pea?????

We're getting closer!!!!!!!!!!! And my body is definitely feeling it.....UGH.......I just plain ol' HURT this time around! Hopefully I can be done working soon so I can just relax for a few weeks before #3 decides to show up! I was inspired by some of the girls on Baby Center to get creative with belly shots...this is HUGE for me, I hardly have ANY pics of me when I was pregnant with Sam and Alex, now I regret it but not much I can do now! So this was at about 32 weeks (I think) we'll just say 30-something OMG she's huge weeks along :)

Hard to believe we'll be adding number 3 to the mix in a few short months!!! And yes, they usually DO get along this well...here's hoping baby will fit in perfectly! :)

LOTS going on here....lol We've got a posting contest, a sketch contest, I was tagged, I made someone's day....so on and so on....so here we go!

So I was tagged by my friend Pat so here's what I'm supposed to do:
Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.* Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.* Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1) My food CANNOT CANNOT touch...unless it's meant to, like Chinese food or Mexican food....but jell-o touching turkey on Thanksgiving??!?!?! BARF FEST!

2) I am terribly anal about my penmanship, I was the dork in college who would go home and rewrite her notes because they were messy...hey, good study method, right?

3) I was a college cheerleader and would pay an insane amount of money to have that body back! Sigh....

4) I hate socks...I wear them only when necessary and will take them off as soon as it's possible!

5) I'm weird about "grooming" my kids, I have no qualms about picking noses, digging in ears, cleaning under nails...I find it oddly satisfying...yep, gross I know! LOL

6) I LOVE everything about my life but sometimes I take a look at it and my first thought is SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?! Am I playing friggin HOUSE or what???

7) I am disturbingly paranoid and sometimes am riddled with anxiety over things that are not very likely to happen but I manage to conjure up the most god-awful scenarios in my head and then obsess over them....do they have meds for that?!?! LMAO

So, still wanna be friends with me?!?! LOL I'll tag a few more of ya when my novel-length post is over...

NEXT!!!!!

My super talented scrappy friend (and fellow military wife/BusyBee DT buddy) Shawna gave me the "You Make My Day" award on HER blog so now I get to present it to more bloggy/scrappy friends! Thanks Shawna! Your pages of Maddie and Adam made MY day! :)



AM I DONE YET????????? LOL
Oh yeah, finally managed to get a new belly shot! :) Here "we" are at 28 weeks 3 days...........I'm gonna be ginormous by June! LOL I almost forgot that about pregnant me! LOL



OK....so NOW I'm done! :)

I'm doing a combo "tag" and " You Make My Day" award :)

Janice
Melissa
Lucy
Jaime
Shawna (you can keep the award but don't have to "re" award it to anyone...lol)
Nancy VdB (I miss you girlie!)

Ok, I'm off! :)

What a difference a few weeks makes! (ok, so more like 6 weeks...but who's counting?) Here we are at 25 weeks 6 days...yikes! Over halfway there!!!

The kids and I had a long weekend thanks to President's Day so we took advantage of it and headed north to see Vince...the drive TOTALLY SUCKED (both ways) but it was well worth it, we had a blast! Gotta love being in CA where you can go from snow one day to playing in the desert the next....

I need to do an updated picture BUT am happily laid up in bed right now getting ready to hopefully pass out for at least 8 hours (minus several trips to the bathroom..lol) Had a garage sale today, made close to $500! WOOHOO! Of course it sucked that Vince didn't come home so I was on my own...but when DOESN'T it suck with him gone????

Anyway, off to bed if baby lets me....getting my ass kicked from the inside out right now! LOVE this part! (remind me of that in a few months when he/she is stuck in my ribs...lol)

And to my scrappy friends....help me get out of my rut, I haven't done ANYTHING in about a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UGH...back into the "one post a month" rut....I plead the holidays as my excuse! And look who ate too many sugar cookies.......hee hee



We are now 19 weeks and 2 days pregnant with #3 and feeling pretty good! Had my "big" ultrasound last week but didn't find out what we've got cookin' in there, I was a good girl and didn't cave! So we won't know until June!! Any guesses???

Had a great Christmas, just as hectic as we expected, hopefully I can get pictures loaded soon as Sam had a very big winter in MN...first time skiing AND ice skating! She had a blast, Alex was not as big of a fan of the snow however!

So now it's back to the same ol' routine, Vince gone during the week, back to school, neglecting laundry and dishes...sigh...someday I'll get caught up!

Happy Birthday to my old stomping grounds...Scrap4Life! I was fortunate enough to be on the design team for this fabulous site and they are having a BIRTHDAY CROP! So many awesome challenges, can't wait to get to work! Go check it out, there will be some killer prizes too!

Ok, thanks for the help with the pics for the card...now to help me with the actual card! It's nothing fancy, but I like the "simple" look for my xmas cards...

Which one do you like best?

Two posts in ONE week?!?!? GASP!!! ;)

I frequent the June 2008 mommies board at Baby Center and lots of moms have been posting belly pics...well, I'm being brave...I'll blame it on my drugs, I have a migraine and am not thinking straight!

So here I am (in all of my lovely post-full-work-day glory...jammie pants and all...with the shirt I wore to school..how ghetto! LOL) This is at 13 weeks 3 days, thank GOD this is my third kid, I feel like I look GINORMOUS! Just wait! LOL



And the kids at school dont know yet, at least I haven't TOLD them...just waiting to see who has balls big enough to ask me..lmao

Don't need to mention it's been FOREVER again! (not that many people read up on me...lol) Had a nice, relaxing Thanksgiving weekend here, Vince was home, got almost ALL of my Christmas shopping done, the house is decorated, AND I got some pics of the kids to potentially use for the Christmas cards...but I NEED HELP! I don't know which ones I like...here are a few of my favorites, I'm thinking of MAYBE a collage of 3, one of each of the kids alone and then one of them together...I don't know, I'm not good at deciding these kinds of things! LOL

At any rate...here ya go!
