This, That, & the Other

So I finally have a day off and what do I do?  Go out of town shopping.  I know typical female. 

My mother and I went to pick up some stuff for a baby shower we're hosting.  It was a really quick trip, left at 8:30 and back by 3:30.  That's pretty good for me considering how easily distracted I get.

I was happily surprised last night when I got home from work.  I walked into a picked up house.  The living room was picked up and vacuumed.  There had been dishes done.  Laundry was folded on the dining table.  Casey had been busy and I so appreciated it.  I can't believe how lucky I am.  Just for reference, during my last pregnancy I had no nesting instincts.  Weird, I know.  I will assume that it will be the same with this one, which will be disappointing to Casey.  :(

So I talked to one of my besties today.  We decided that I will start showing earlier.  It only makes sense this being my second.  Her sister is eleven weeks and already in maternity clothes.  (It's her second as well.)  And I can feel a pooch coming on.  I'll keep you updated on all my belly happenings.  LOL

Yes I'm Still Alive and More!

So I haven't posted for months.  I feel horrible, but better late than never.  Since I'm finally on here I'm trying to update the blog.  You'll notice some new badges going up. 

Bum Covered Diapers is a close friends business.  If you ever have questions on cloth diapering this is a great source.  Thrifty Nift Mommy has great giveaways (right now a super cute Pognae Baby Carrier) and product reviews.  Check it out sometime.

I'm finally working again.  I'm in a factory that manufactures ham lunch meat.  It's completely different than anything I've done before.  Surprisingly I don't hate it.  The money's not bad either.  I'm temporary so come next spring I'll be laid off.  Although the timing is perfect.  More to come on that later.

Casey has switched jobs and then switched back.  Sounds like fun doesn't it?

Carter has started his second year of preschool.  It's going great.  He really likes his teacher and class.  I can't believe he'll be starting kindergarten next year.  That will have to be an entry all on it's own next year.

We're getting ready to get family pictures taken next month.  I'm so excited because I went to school with the photographer (plus her dad's our family doctor) and she's fantastic.  If you live around Kirksville, St. Louis, Kansas City, or Columbia I highly recommend her.  Check her out you will not be disappointed.  www.missprissiness.com

And finally the big announcement......I'm expecting!
