I have a cold

somebody sing me "soft kitty."


and keep rubbing...

so much to do.

I have a ridiculously long list of things I want to sell in my etsy shop.
What am I waiting for?! Christmas?!




also, I am ridiculously bored with my hair. I know, I know. It's just hair. My mom always used to tell me that if I was starting to think a lot about my hair then I was probably just bored in general and didn't have enough to do. Her reasoning being that I should keep myself busy enough that something as trite as my hair style, shouldn't be on my mind. There's a bit of truth to that to me.
What about you? Do you agree? Is there something like that for you? A barometer of boredom and busy?


The holidays are upon us.
moving around so much usually has me somewhere different for the holidays. It has made for some very memorable occasions.
What is your favorite holiday memory?

this is the most moving thing I have seen in a long time.
Really hit home for me.

As per SillyK's request:

Charles Edward was born at 5:59 pm, September 7th, weighing in at 8 lb 5 oz










I can't believe how much hes changed in only 5 weeks. He is wonderful. Only wakes up once at night, isn't fussy. Eating like a champ. He'll be in a higher weight class in no time.

He's here!!!
and I am quite obviously in love

We're almost there!

about 3 weeks to go.
It's funny that a month ago I thought I just couldn't get any bigger.

Since I haven't been working I've been spending my time crafting. Mostly sewing. Made some things for a friend whose baby is due about a month after mine. Made some things for my little one (although that list will never be done. There are still many things I want to make for my baby). So with a little encouragement from others, I finally opened an etsy store. It's been a desire of mine for a little while.
Still a little rough around the edges, I present Sweet Little Stitch. I think it will mostly have baby related items. I've really enjoyed making baby stuffs for myself and others.
I'm going to try to sew and knit as much as possible before baby gets here, as I'm sure I'll have less free time at that point.
I'm off to my knitting.

Been a little while since my last update.

I'm all moved in to my new house and I love it. It is quiet. No noisy annoying neighbors. Clean air. Clean city. My room is small and having a king sized bed makes for an especially tight fit, but I spend most of my time in the rest of the house anyway. Also, I've set up my sewing machines and been making things. I have a long list of sewing and knitting that I want to get done before baby arrives.

The belly is ever expanding...

at 31 weeks (I'm currently at 32)

Thanks to the awesomeness of Issue_, CFQ, and Ashlynn I have TONS of baby stuffs already. And I haven't even had my baby shower yet!
Pregnancy has been relatively comfortable (knock on wood). I have not had any major problems or aches and pains. It is a little weird to be slowed down a bit here and there but I feel great!

I (and I suspect, my dogs as well) love having a backyard. My hammock is set up and I can sit out there in the evenings when it's not so hot and just hang out. Literally. I love that I can just let them in the yard to run around and do their thing.

I must be up early for work, so I'm off to have my nightly s'mores fix. Nothing like a high dose of sugar before bed!

I just put in my 30 days notice to move from my apartment. I'm feeling a huge sense of relief. I will be moving in with my best friend and her hubby and their one year old baby. I'm kind of sad it took me this long to leave, but I'm so happy to finally be doing it. I'm so ready to go that I want to start packing already!!!
We will be moving to a clean quiet city with breathable air. Maisy and Sammy will have three other dogs to play with and a big yard to run in. I will be much closer to my dad than I am now. Only about 40 minutes away. We are both pretty happy about that. And of course, I will be around my best friend again. Over the last two or three years I've barely gotten to see her at all which makes me pretty sad. I've really enjoyed living alone but I think with the baby, it would be helpful to have some really good friends there with me. Oh, and the hospital there is brand new and I've found a couple really nice OB practices.
Can't wait to get out of the city. I'm definitely not a city girl. I'm really looking forward to some peace and quiet, not seeing garbage all over, everywhere I go, or constantly hearing sirens and helicopters. I don't even mind leaving all the culture that LA has to offer because I'll still be close enough to LA, and closer to San Diego, to visit a large city.

So this baby has discovered the joy of kicking my cervix.

I have a couple movies to watch, and some knitting to do. So I'm gonna get to it! Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I can't get over how cute its nose is.
