My first diaper bag....Plain and simple no pattern cause I don't understand them. I wish so bad that there was a sewing class in this podunk town. I want to sew so bad but, I SUCK!!! I try and try and continue to screw up. I will become one with my seam ripper. Wanting to try some halloween crafts but, I usually end up spending more money trying to make something than I would just going to buy the stuff. I will patiently wait until the day after Halloween to purchase my crafts (already made).

New pics...I had to take a pic of a pic our cd drive is jacked up. My friend Crystal took these and they are wonderful.

I can't believe it, he is a month old. I have stayed home with him and I love it. Last night he slept from 1230-830 of course with his mommy. I never knew life was like this or could be like this. I have always tried to find more meaning or a new project to start but, now I don't have time to do squat and its the most rewarding thing ever. I love being a mommy.....My heart is so full...

39 weeks!!! I have made it through. Went to the Doc on Tuesday baby is large. Ultrasound this next Tuesday to see just how big he is. They will probably say lets schedule a C-section which is ok cause I don't want to try to push out a 8 1/2lb baby. No contractions yet. The nesting instinct kicked in last night and I slept the best last night (probably because I was worn out). Holiday weekend daddy to be is off for 4 days and I have to work this weekend oh well. Nervous because more than likely this time next week we will be parents. 29 years and nothing can prepare you for this. I am so ready to see him.

OVERWHELMED!!!!!!!!!
I am getting ready for my baby shower/cocktail party. Which I know sounds strange but, I hate baby showers and just because I am prego doesn't mean it can't be a fab event and everyone else can indulge. I am just doing this while 37 weeks prego trying to work as much as I can and do this whole thing by myself. I chose to do this alone one because I am not asking someone to do this for me and it be anything less than perfect. Yes, I am OCD. Its not like I have ever had a baby shower and perfection is key. Expensive, time consuming but the end result will be fawless. Check up today at the doctor. I have been told by many so called experts that I have dropped. Who knows? I know I have to pee every time I stand up, its 102 degrees outside and I don't sleep anymore. Oh joy! This is worse than the first trimester exhaustion. I wish I had a personal assistant for the remainder of the pregnancy. The nesting instinct hits and quickly passes because of pure exhaustion. Everytime I look at a different spot in my house something needs to be done and I can't stand the fact that I just physically can't. I normally hate housework but, these days everything has to be done with such urgency. I hope all my friends and family enjoy this shower because I will crash and burn after it is over with. I can't wait to meet my little man and I hope this incredible calm will come over me when he comes.

Long time since last post. I have been busy. Whew! 23 weeks Prego. I was so the anti-child until now. I have been sick, hormonal and did I mention sick? I feel a little better now. Its so strange how everything just falls into place. We just found out that its going to be a little boy. I am so excited. My 97 year old grandmother wanted to name the baby when I told her I was pregnant, I reluctantly said ok. She said how about, "Herman." So, now Blake and I refer to the little man as Herman. His real name will be Maddox. Getting ready is nerve racking, so much to do. But, vacation is first. We are going to Cabo in May I am excited but, no drinking with fountains of tequila available. Oh well. Life has a way of just working out. I have been such an angry person for so long and I believe that is was that life sucked until now. I just made bad choices and the people along the way were just a learning curve. Now I know what family is about and I am not angry anymore. My mother is absent but, she is a piece so all is better off. Blake is wonderful I couldn't ask for any better. I have even put all my self help books in the garage sale! That is a total makeover for me.
