Still here...still pregnant...

Most of my time this past week & a half has been spent cleaning, organizing, or wasting time on the computer hoping that time will go by faster. I have 5 days until my due date & I can't help but wonder if this child will be stubborn like Trinity was & hold out until the last possible minute. It would be so nice if he were cooperative like Brinley & decided to come the day I have had in my mind for the past nine months-or even better, he could come today!! Well, maybe not today-Matt is teaching a 4 day class @ Fort Carson, so it would be a little harder for him to rush home & be by my side. Thursday will be his last day of teaching & he actually said it would be nice if I had the baby on a Monday-then we could have our weekend & he could miss work during the week. I told him I'll see what I can do-HA!

Well, I have been working on a page this morning & it took WAY longer than I had hoped. I tried using a pre-made template for the first time (thank you Britt!) and I had to experiment a little more than I expected to get it to work. I am really happy with the finished product though. It was nice not to have to use any brain power about where to put the pics or worry about the layout. So here it is:

Back on the Bandwagon

I got so busy there for a while that I stopped digi scrappin & then I was afraid to start back up because I had basically fogotten everything I knew. A while back I bought some video tutorials from Scrap Girls that would teach me how to use my version of PS specifically for scrappin, so I decided now was a better time than ever to finally watch them. I thought they were SO helpful & I basically did this page as I watched the videos to help the new things I learned stick in my mind. The picture isn't my favortie, but like I said it started out as just a "practice page". The look on Brin's face makes me laugh & please don't look too closely at my long overdue of plucking eyebrows!! WOW-AMAZON WOMAN!! HAHA!! I am horrible about making sure I give credit on my pages, but I konw that I used products from Brittish designs & from Anne Lange. Thanks guys!

Pregnancy Update

If any of you are like me then you are wondering if I have had my baby yet. Especially if you live near me because I tend to hermit away & start organizing & cleaning everything. But the answer is no, I have not had him & even though I still have 17 days until my due date I feel like each day is dragging!

I have been lucky to have a great pregnancy without any problems or big issues to deal with, but the last couple of weeks have been a little different. I got a pretty bad sinus infection that I couldn't seem to kick, and then I started having back pains & feeling nauseous. I knew it wasn't labor so I wasn't too worried, but I was feeling pretty crappy and Matt was not able to come running home like I hoped. Luckily some of the schools were out for summer and our 11 year old neighbor was able to come over and watch the girls for a few hours while I dosed up on extra strength Tylenol & tried to take a nap. She really was a life saver!!

I already had my regular Dr. apt scheduled for that day, & I was shocked to find out that I had a pretty bad bladder infection that was causing the back pain & nausea. I am feeling much better now other than the normal aches and pains of pregnancy & would be totally happy if this little guy decided to come 2 weeks early. SO, just in case I think I'll go pack my hospital bag! PS if I had a fun pregnant picture to post I would....but I really don't-sorry!

Water Monkey

As a baby Trin was NOT fond of the water AT ALL, but she has finally started to enjoy our trips to the pool. Matt is helping her get as comfortable in the water as he can before trying any swimming lessons. The other day she "monkey walked" around the entire pool by herself. This is a little clip of her progress & I laugh everytime she pushes any "dirty stuff" in the pool out of her way. Such a funny girl!

It's already JUNE!!

Man, I feel like my life has been picked up by a whirlwind & tossed around a bit. There seem to be so many things going on & all of a sudden I feel totally unprepared to have this baby. TRUST ME-I am ready to have him, but I keep thinking of all these things I should get done before he comes. Not to mention that Matt is going to be swamped this month with extra summer duties & responsibilities. And to top it off we are planning on moving to a nicer place that isn't available until the middle of July. We were hoping to be able to move before the baby comes, but there is no way & now it looks like the move in date is going to fall right on top of the 2 weeks that Matt will be at the annual training with his unit-AHHH-SO CRAZY!! I know that we will make it through all of this, so I just try to take one thing at a time & hope that a nervous breakdown doesn't occur in the middle of everything! HAHA! Well, I will end this post on a happier note with some pictures that make me smile!
