oh Mel, I'm so sad, but God Im so thankful I got the chance to know you. you'll be so terribly missed. we all love you so much.
Well I havent been able to crochet as much as I'd like thanks to a teething baby. But I did manage to crochet a Batman doll. I like how it turned out and will be creating a Joker next. After that I'll either be moving onto Zombies or Yo Gabba Gabba dolls. Subby is working on an Etsy too, but I'll let him tell you about that 
What doesn't break us only makes us stronger. So true, so true. Everything is an opportunity if you just take the time to look at it differently.

Well Subby got laid off. Which does not mesh well with me being a stay at home Mom. I feel so damn bad for my man, he's a hard worker and very loyal, but that's not worth two shits in today's economy. Now we're trying to figure out what to do from here....do we wanna stay down here? do we wanna give WI a try? should we try to sell the house? should we attempt to achieve some of our dreams we couldnt do before cuz of his job?
It's scary.
I'm going to move forward with writing a crochet book I've been toying with. I'm also gonna get my Etsy up and running next week. It's time to use every resource we have to help us through this time. Wish us luck friends!

Ugh, sorry, I really do mean to update more. Aside from taking care of this adorable kid

Yup, busy busy. I still have 7 commissions in line. I'm just hoping they keep coming so I can start socking money away to pay off all the damn hospital bills we've got going on.
So what's new with you kids???? I really do miss you guy 
Been super busy. Had some shit go down with our sitter. Now I'm a stay at home Mom. Had something terrible happen this past week. Now we're getting back to normal life. I'm working on creating a whole new Etsy shop. I will need to start raising money for some serious medical bills that will be headed our way. Stay tuned, I'll be selling lots of hats, animals, monsters, star war dudes, and patterns for those of you who'd rather create stuff yourself.
Not enough time to say much else right now.

How did more than a month go by without me updating????
Oh yeah, I have 10 wk old occupying my time
She's so beautiful guys....
Seriously she melts my heart on a daily basis. She has grown out of her hysterical crying phase and has moved onto her extremely talkative, happy, drooly phase. I wanted a child for so very long and it turns out being a Mommy is even more amazing than I ever could have imagined.
Subby and I are working super hard to pay off my car, because as soon as that is done I will be a stay at home Mommy. Just 7 grand away. This excites me to no end. I love that our lives have become what we've hoped they would.

My 6 weeks of maternity leave is up. I have to go back to work today and I'm extremely upset about it. I wish I could just find a fucking way to pay off my car so I can be at home with my baby where I belong.
I used to have this delusional thought that sometimes babies were happy when they were awake. In reality they just scream, head butt you in the face, try to suck milk out of your nose, kick your kidneys through your stomach and then scream at you again cuz none of the previous things made them happy.
Thankfully they're SUPER cute when they sleep else noone would ever have kids

How come I can only see some pictures now on the site? Half the time it just gives me the "your missing something only members can see". Weirdness.
We took Ollie in for her 2 wk check up yesterday. The doc said she looks to be an extremely healthy baby. She's gaining serious weight (this does not shock my sore boobs) and is now at 9lbs 7oz. She's a champion boob juice sucker. We don't really like this pediatrician though and we'll probably switch. The last straw was him being almost 1 1/2 hours late for our appointment without anyone warning us there would be a delay. That's unacceptable. Olivia has to eat every 2 hours during the day so his tardiness led to her having a full fledge freak out.
In other news, I'm desperately trying to figure out how I can pay off my car loan and Subby's car loan so I can quit working and be a stay at home Mom. Mostly I just gotta keep hoping we win the lotto
Until then, my girlfriend will be watching Ollie for $100 a week which is way cheaper than daycare around here.
Well, that's really all I got. I never have anything I wanna talk about that doesnt involve my babygirl hehehe!
