Hormones, hairbows and homecoming... :)

Well hello there...

Not too much to talk about, but I figured I would update. Here is a quote from "Knocked Up" that kinda sums up how the past few weeks have been going. Brandon says this a lot, but puts my name in there... It makes us both laugh and make light of the situation, thank GOD! He is great. Here is the quote...

"You know what, I know this isn't you talking, it's your hormones, but I would just like to say, F#%CK YOU, HORMONES, YOU ARE A CRAZY BITCH, HORMONES--not Alison, HORMONES. F#%ck 'em. It's a girl, buy some pink sh#t."
-"Knocked Up"


*Sigh* We're almost done....almost done. ;)


Well, I don't think I've mentioned this in my past posts, but I've been spending my free time making hair bows for Lily and Abby. They are coming out really cute. Lately, I have been focusing on Christmas bows. I made some really cute matching ones for Lily and Abby for the holidays so I'm excited about that. I don't have pictures of them at this moment on my computer, but I am going to take some and post them soon. I know Lily probably won't have enough hair to put them directly in her hair come Christmastime, but we have quite a few of the interchangeable headbands that you can add the bows to so we're all set in that department.
*Update* Here are a few of the ones I have been working on...

Gwen likes helping. :)


Abby gets the big turkey!


I'm also going to make some poinsetta flowers for the girls and a few other little things. :)

I've also been working on pacifer clips...I figured since I had all the ribbon laying around, I might as well. They are so easy to make! I just need to pick up some more pieces for the base of the clip and I need to find my crop-a-dile! My other snap method isn't working very well.


Oh! Before I forget, my beautiful Ali had her FIRST homecoming this past weekend! She looked AMAZING! I was crying forever when mom sent me these pictures. Check them out!

Everyone take care and I'll update again soon! Our next doctor appointment is November 2nd! :)

The beautiful life...

Hello all!
Sorry for the long lapse in updates...there just hasn't been a whole lot going on around here! I mean, there has, but I've just been super busy. The past few weeks, Brandon and I have been took a Life with Baby class, 2 childbirth classes, 2 Christening Classes for Lily, and 2 marriage preparation classes! We have been super busy! I have also been having both Dr. appointments every two weeks. Next week, I will start seeing Dr. Plavidal every weeke. We are in the home stretch!

As far as my medication goes, I am completely off of one of them! Yeayy, right? Yeah, but now I am feeling my hormones in a ten fold and it is just not pleasant. It pretty much comes down to three things: Don't say anything nice to me, don't say anything mean to me, and I have to get up and out of this house EVERYDAY. I am also super needy of Brandon right now. If all of those things are followed, the day is usually pretty ok. As far as how I am feeling, well, I am feeling ok. I feel huge, but I have only put on 24 lbs through the whole pregnancy, so it could be worse. Sleeping sucks. Yes...I said it, sleeping sucks. I never realized it could possibly hurt to sleep, but it does. The test for Group B Strep came back positive, so they will have to give antibiotics during delivery, but it's not really a big deal. As long as I don't have this kid at home, it really won't be an issue.

Brandon made a work flow diagram as to what will be going on once I go into labor FOR THE DOCTOR. LOL...My little efficient husband who just has to have things on paper...what can I say, I love him. He's so cute.

33 days till the 23rd...her original due date... I'll keep ya updated!
Till then, here are some pictures from my birthday and the renaissance festival we went to last weekend...Pip pip cheerio!

Beer and the Ren Fest go hand in hand!


Brandon and I split a fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich...it was amazing, but dangerous!


28 years young...glorious!
