So, I had a week off of work.  It felt like an eternity.  I'm very grateful for the time off mainly because my brain doesn't shut off with the to-do list that I've got in my brain.  However, my parents and brothers(this is the first time it's ever happened this way so it was shocking) went on a cruise and I was babysitting Charlie.  The first couple of days I kept Charlie up at my parents house and just went up to let him out during the day.  That became too exhausting so I took him to my house.  Oh I will never own 3 dogs! That was a lot of work as well, but in the end I kind of ended up missing the little guy when I had to take him back home.


 In other news,  I did get a lot of stuff done for my baby's room.  Not everything by any means...I'm still not even close but that's ok!
Other than that, I've just been eating lots and reading tons and tons of books. I painted my toes last night, oh for crying out loud- that was a chore and a half. I still can see my toes though. I go to the dr every 2 weeks now, ultrasound next friday.  Hurray 11 more weeks!

 A new year is among us.  I can't believe it's 2011!! Last year I posted my new years resolutions and I am here to report I didn't do so bad.  I had wanted to go on a trip with just me and the mister,  sew a bunch, balance my checkbook, and quit having the lettuce taken off of my food.
I know it doesn't count as just the two of us but I'm counting when we went to California as our trip.  It was fantastic!
I am sewing a bunch for sure! I made some sheets for baby's room so far, next up is the bumper.  Also for Christmas Daren decided he wanted a new beanie made by me, he wouldn't let me measure his head and told me to make a large one...so I did.  The picture below shows just how huge it was. I'm going to have to try again.  I also posted a picture below of my little guys shoes I made him.  Hey, I had a lot of free time over the holidays.
Now back to the resolutions...balancing my checkbook went to hell in a hand basket because Daren finally was able to be added to my banking account and he's off in his own world swiping away but that's ok.
And as for eating the lettuce that didn't last either.  In fact, I never really started. However, since being pregnant prefer the lettuce on my Old Grist Mill(a local sandwich place) and when I made tacos I put lettuce on them as well, go figure.
I'm not making resolutions this year!! I'm just an overachiever right now as it is, so I'll just go with that and get everything done on my lists.




 I'm posting these pictures that Kelsi took, I think she'll be surprised to see that I am.  But for New Years Eve Kelsi brought up the Michael Jackson Experience game(along with her fedora) and I had a wicked good time.  I bought Daren a dvd of some of his music videos and he has made me watch it weekly, if not more, the past couple of weeks. So it made me appreciate this game.  I was sad Daren was home sick and didn't get to participate.  I danced for an hour and a half. I'm sure baby didn't love it nor did my body with how much I was aching the next day.  But I would recommend this for everyone.--- that is not my shirt it's Michael's I had to borrow so I could take my sweatshirt off.


Now, as my one reader(or commenter) mentioned, I needed to post a belly picture. I was planning to but it got the fire under me to actually do take it.  I really don't know why I don't like it, I normally love attention just for some reason don't love this kind of attention.
Right now I am halfway through my 25th week.  Can ya believe only 15 more weeks? I about had a nervous breakdown when I was trying to get to sleep and couldn't stop thinking about how I am not even remotely prepared! I thought I was doing well on buying things but I think it's so unknown that I just don't even know what to get. I took a picture of all the stuff I have so far... I'M BEHIND!
