I saw these and fell in love with them so I had to get some to make and sell. They have been going pretty good on my cafe groups (knock on wood) lol...




I am going to make dresses and sell these with the dresses on e-bay and individually. (Cory doesn't knwo but I am taking all the money and saving for something special for us to go do for our anniversary!)

Cory and I were laying in bed discussing names last night...girls and boys. Again, we could only agree on the three girl's names. (emma, shawna, and jade....at least if this is a boy, we will have girls names lined up for next time if we have one. lmao) For boys, we were talking and though seth isn't out of the running what-so-ever (still our fav boys)I like evan, he likes jason, and he also likes EWIN?! What?! Um, ok but NO! Sorry I told him, im not naming my kid that....then he asked me if Emmanuel was a Mexican name. LMAO....I told him that it was more because Manuel for short and i didn't like that name for this baby anyways. I think we are going to narrow in on a few names and have a good look at him/her before we decide :) i still really like Seth Allen! (or Evan Maurice. lol)

FINALLY finished sewing both dresses...had a mishap with the bird tonight and had a momentary freak out but I am hoping is better now!

Got this for an amazing deal.... $7.99 with $3.99 shipping. (Considering its John Lennon!!) I want to go all John Lennon with this baby...that and blue and brown / green and browns.

I love this little boy. And he is SOO his father's child. Anytime cory sees me set down any money (dollar bills or silver) he is all over it. By the time I come back for it a few minutes later, it is already in his pocket!! Funny thing is he always leaves the pennies but takes the larger change. . . . Jake is now taking after him. Since he is just starting out though, he doesn't care what the change is, pennies, nickles, dimes, anything. He has a piggy bank that is in his wooden doors in his room out of Mecah's reach and whenever he sees change, he shows us and asks us if he can put it into his piggy bank. Of course we say yes but what I want to know is WHERE this child is finding all this change! one day he comes to me with 6 pennies in his hand at once asking if he can put it in there. Then, the next day he sees the change I emptied out of cory's work pants before I washed them and says, "My money!" LOL. He would have had to fight cory had he been awake because they were mostly quarters. LMAO!! They are sooo cute. He reminds me of his dad more and more.

Wow, dinner was AWESOME today. The glaze turned out soooo good and sweet, we were dipping our rice, ham, and veggies in it. lol. I gave cory some leftover ham and rice to work for him and the guy he works with and we still have SO much left over its ridiculous. Tomorrow I am dicing it up and putting it in a scalloped potato casserole in the oven.

16 weeks pregnant, feeling the baby flutter about finally, and getting more and more excited! Going to find out in about 2 weeks the sex for sure so im still trying to think both boy sand girls names...not throwing our pretty girl's names out of the pic quite yet.

I realize now how much I missed cooking (though I would have hated it when I was SOOO sick and not able to keep anything down). this morn I woke up and started making Maple Sausage McMuffins with cheese and for lunch, they had pepperoni on sale at Walmart so I am making the kid's english muffin pizzas. For dinner, I am using the rest of the chicken from last night for chicken and rice batittos. Cory sure is a happy man now!!

Lets see....

A Chicken Roasted in the oven with herbs and seasonings
Gravy
stir fry veggies
rice pilaf
garlic bread

I haven't cooked in a while like this so I figured it was about time I got back into the kitchen with a bang!

Today I woke up feeling SOOO sick. Throat sore and scratchy, nose stuffed AND runny, hacking up a lung. The kids did help to cheer me up. Jake pooped in the potty and as he is going, mecah says she needs to 'pee potty' so I take off her diaper and as I am praising jake, I hear a tinkling sound behind me....mecah pee'd in the potty again! WOOHOO. LOL.

Wow, I remember when I found out I was pregnant. Now, I am 14 weeks 4 days preggo! I went to our resale shop today and found soooo ooooo oooooooo many cute outfits and she has a sale going on, buy one outfit, get one free. Includes all shoes and accessories, too! I need to go back before the end of the month. LOL

my hearing is not sharp today, cory says something, i think he says something else and while he waits 4 a response, i stare at him and nod, 'ok?'.LOL...think i need to debrox my ears.lmao.

Ok, yesterday I go to the doctor and he goes to do the U/S and when I lift my shirt to expose the belly, he says, "WOW, you have a lot of stretchmarks huh?" UM, no shit sherlock! i didn't realize it, im so glad you pointed it out! Now I can go out and buy the miracle cream that costs an arm and a leg and put it on religiously and still get NO results even years after the baby is born! If it wasn't for you Dr, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. Ok, so he is very blunt but I still love him as a doc. Guess they don't teach doctors etiquete in medical school. LOL. I can't wait to go in and see for sure what the baby is on August 11th. He got a good view but I want to double check before I go out and buy all the stuff for that sex......I am soooo excited!!!!!!

When I went to the bathroom this morning, Mecah came up to me and asked me if I was going 'pee potty'. I told her yes and she said she needed to go and came over to me with her dress lifted up so I could take off her diaper. . . I went to go change Jakes POOPY DIAPER (he hasn't gone poop in the toilet yet arrggg) and Mecah comes out motioning me with her fingers to come follow her and says, "Come here....look...I pee potty". i wasn't expecting her to since I haven't even worked with her on it one bit or mentioned it to her yet and guess what, she did!! Idk, i know she is 2 and that is the average age to potty train but I can still be soooo excited for her! lol. I just wish Jake would poop in the potty!

Omg, my boobs hurt SOOo bad as of late. They are getting bigger which I am sure Cory LOVES but hates that he can't touch them without me wanting to smack him. LOL Poor guy never wins.

I couldn't help myself....I didn't mean to walk by the dress. I didn't mean to try it on. I didn't *mean* to go through the checkout and buy it! (Ok, maybe I'm not so innocent) BUTTT, I did get this dress at an amazing deal and the shoes were over 70% off, too. I LOVE the dress, its silky, soft, comfy and light. The shoes are cute, silver with a little charm on them. . . . this is what happens when i go to the mall to get Cory something. LOL. I went to go get his ring engraved with the saying, "The rocks in my head fit the holes in yours" but sicne it was too long, I am going to get it put on a larger ring that he found that he LOVES at Walmart. The *new* wedding ring he got that he can actually wear is tungsten with a mother of pearl inlay and he loves it, looks great on him, too. I can't WAIT until this weekend!! I also have my 14 week appt tomorrow at 2 something and after that I am going to have to go get the rest of the stuff I FORGOT at Walmart so that I can spend the next two days doing laundry so I have a laundry-free house to come home to on Sunday night. lol

putting in an offer today or tomorrow on a 4bd 2bth house! Praying we get it!

Cory got pulled over by Highway Patrol today for having window tint, yes window tint. SECOND time he has been pulled over for it. i am so done I told him to take it off, I don't want to keep paying to have him keep it on!! Arrgg,

i am happy that today is considered cory's friday. he has been getting home early (only 8 hr days) for this week which is wonderful because we get to have him home and up more but stucks when the paycheck comes. lol. I am hoping to meet up with our realtor larry tomorrow so that we can look at a few houses and maybe start putting in offers!

On a good note, Jake has been keeping dry at night and wakes up around 10-11 (by HIS choice to stay in bed that late) and goes as soon as he gets out of bed. Now the pooping is the only hard part. He KNOWS he is giong but doesn't want to go in the potty which is soooo frustrating. I think that cory and i have maybe come to an agreement, we might either rent kayacks or jet skis, not sure yet but i CAN'T WAIT to do one of those. I still have to try to get a few things for myself and cory:
waterproof disposable camera, a cute dress or outfit from the $9.99 store around the corner (i'm cheap lol), little stuff like that. . . . . I also wanted to *try* to get a mani pedi on Thursday but will have to make sure that spending even more money on myself isn't a bad decision first.
