A couple of nights ago we finally had our first hard frost. I had the girls pick all of the green tomatoes off of the vines. They were taking forever doing it. Breakfast was ready and Eric had to get to work, so I went out to help them. Unfortunately [...]

Acai

Is anyone else tired of seeing advertisements about how Rachel Ray and Oprah lost so much weight with the Acai Berry diet? I swear those two women could tell their viewers to eat Meow Mix to lose weight and some of them would actually do it. Actually, they’d probably use Rachel Ray’s stupid dog food, Delish or [...]
There HAVE to be some changes!

I suppose that a lot of people would call me a granola-bar, tree-hugging fool, BUT the more I read about the government’s involvement in the food that is sold at grocery stores, as well as the seeds from garden supplies, I am getting more and more disgusted!
Back in the 80’s, during Reagan’s time at the [...]

At the U/S yesterday we found out that Sean is doing great. He’s not too big or too small….just right! His cheeks were very, very chubby though! Seeing him again on U/S made me want to hold him. I can’t wait to see him and neither can the rest of the family.
While we [...]

Just so you know how much of a hippie I am, I want this sweater soooooooooooooooooooo bad. We don’t have enough money though.
I’d also like to put dreads in my hair, but if I get tired of them or whenever it’s “time” to take them out, I have to cut my hair really [...]
Possible IUGR
Posted in Uncategorized on October 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
When I went to the dr. I found out that I am measuring small. Because of my pregnancy history, (Arden was an IUGR baby,) they are going to check things out via U/S tomorrow morning to make sure Sean is growing in my belly.
IUGR, (AKA Intra-Uterine Growth Restriction,) is when the baby isn’t growing appropriately in [...]
32 Weeks

I’m 32 weeks today. For some reason, it has been HARD being pregnant this past week. It might be because my lower back muscle spasms have been acting up, but I am really feeling this pregnancy now. I’m still not very big.
Last time I was at the dr. I only gained 10 lbs. But that was [...]
Liam’s New Bedding

Liam and Sean will be sharing a room once Sean grows out of his bassinet. I have already bought a rocket crib bedding set for Sean at Wal-Mart here:

I have been trying to find a CHEAP alternative for Liam’s twin bed. As of right now he is using a hand-me-down quilt of his sister’s. (Not [...]
