36 weeks today... YAY!!!. dr meekof will start checking next week for any dilation. i so hope that i have started, cuz i asked him if he would strip membranes if he could, and he said yes. miss morgen will hopefully be here by mid sept. bought some more beading supplies, so maybe ill do something and can sell it. been downloading more digi-scrapping stuff, but no recent LOs. hopefully soon.

apparently ive been tagged by melissa...
rules: List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets. Then tag 5 friends and list them. Then those 5 friends need to state their 5 weird things on their blog, listing the rules and then tag 5 more people. Don't forget to let the person know in their blog that you tagged them or we will never find out their weird attributes.
so...#1-i have to have my pillowcase w/ the open part facing the outside of the bed, dh's has to be too.
#2-im afraid of getting hit crossing the street, so no matter how far way a car is i try to run across the street.
#3-i always have a sheet over my midsection, even if it is 80-90 deg outside, and almost as warm inside.
#4-i check the alarm clock if it is set at least 3x before i can actually try to sleep.
#5-i hate the sound of brushing teeth. blech.
hmmm, now who to tag...most ppl i know dont have blogs...guess my tagging will have to wait.HA

justin and i are now 27yo. feel old??? yea, have been though. i am now 35wks and 3days pg, almost a month to go till miss morgen is here. oh boy, wish she would come sooner than that.
jocy was sick all yesterday. had a fever that went to 103.5 last night, and a strange rash. i called the dr in the am when it was only 101, and he seemed to think just a virus, hope he's right. the fever is down today, and she is more like herself now, just speckley from the rash. looks strange too.
justin is at the roseland quick build this weekend, but at least it is nice and close in case something were to happen, not as if it will. the girls are staying at moms tonite, so ican have a little "alone" time while he is still gone.
i havent done any layouts lately, did dl a new kit though.made the girls stretchy bracelets last weekend, and within a day they both broke them.wish i could post a pic of them. eventually ill figure it out. i think ill double string them next time. maybe a possible income opportunity. i hope to go to Joanns today after i drop the girls off and buy a few more beading stuff.
finally talked to teresa, not much new w/ her and her pg, she gets an u/s sept 15. andrea and shawn found out they are having a boy. im excited for both of them. hmmm, what else is new here??? i did finish my buckle tai, i posted pics of that on amlt and on TBW. i need to build my PP so i can buy myself a slingset system. they look very cool. but i may be buying jl some broadheads off ebay. if i can figure out the beading stuff and pictures on the blog thing, i may try to sell some of what i make. but only time will tell, and when morgen decides to arrive. joanne and mom are working on morgens room next weekend. oh fun. im hoping to get juls clothes moved over to the other room before then.
thats all for today.

nothing too new going on here, as usual.have made a few new LOs the past few days. posted 2 on RAKscraps.com, i may add the link to here of my gallery, since i cant figure out or blogger is being stupid and i cant get them on here. but once again, ill probably try again.
i have been researching making a buckle tai carrier. just waiting on some buckles and webbing. this is similar to a mei tai, but buckles instead of tying.should be a little easier for me. i am 34wks and2 days pg right now, and definately ready to be done. SO tired of ppl thinking im due anyday,and i am very sore lately. lots of BH.
as usual, money is tight. but we'll manage, we always do, just everything is late. so like i said, nothing new there. i wish i could find something i could do from home, that would actually be legit, and bring in $$. maybe eventually make and sell slings, but thatll wait until after miss morgen is born. i think thats it for today. maybe ill be back on again to try to get my link up or the LOs. stupid blogger!!!

nothing new here, same old stuff... bills piling up, no way to get out from them. me, tired of being pregnant, and still have about 7wks to go. yes im happy im pregnant, but boy am i tired of it already. which brings me to my next thing. i am on a message board, Due in Sept, and apparently someone mentioned that they were sad not to have a shower for this baby. hmmm, she has 2 babies already, a 2yo and a 1 yo. shouldnt she already have most her stuff she needs? but another woman on the board PMed some ppl, to try to put together a diapercake to send to her. sure id like a shower too, but i know im not getting one. WAHHH... feel sorry for me. but i just wont respond.i think we are going to have a "meet the baby" get together if the park is open still a few wks after morgen is born. that'll be good enough for me. ok, enough on that rant.
i am frustrated that i cant figure out how to get my LOs on here after that 1st time. but im sure ill live. also would love to make a kit, but cant quite figure out that either. hoping it is just pg brain. this blogging thing is good for getting things out of your brain i figured out. not too many ppl know i have a blog since i havent put my siggy back on amlt since madison passed. i probably will in another week. speaking of madison; shelli is being so strong it appears. i hope she can cope when she is done keeping busy.
i think that is all for now... oh yea, had a dr appt on weds. gained 4 lbs in 2 wks. so total so far is 16lbs. all is good w/ her. i had dr meekof check my throat too, and i have strep; so been on meds since weds. starting to feel better too, besides allergies. now thats all. ill try to get my
LOs up soon.

Thursday we found out that little madison passed away. she was a 2 yo baby from a private board i visit, and had been fighting the battle with mitochondrial disorder since 9 mo. the funeral was yesterday, and i feel just horrible for her mother to have to deal with that. but in the same sense happy that she is out of pain, and we WILL see her in the new system as jehovah has promised. she will be running and jumping and doing all those wonderful things children should do. i hope to get a brochure of "when someone you love dies" out to shelli, madisons mom, this week, hopefully she can find some comfort.
after learning that, the day was just a blur from packing and leaving for dekalb for the "DELIVERANCE AT HAND!" district convention. The girls did well, besides a few incidences. jocy loved swimming w/ her new suit and float suit that mom bought them. it was a very spiritual weekend, and we enjoyed it.
i managed to do 1 1/2 layouts while gone, but couldnt get them saved to a floppy to transfer to this pc. so i did a new one of joclyn this a.m. i hope to get one of juls done too. i posted jocys on RAKscraps.com with my others as well. i thnk thats all for now. hope to get more done, but for now it the girls nap times, i hope. :)

WOW, i finally got my first few layouts posted on here. not even quite sure how i did it. ive been working on layouts still, and trying to figure out how to make actual kits too. i hope to get my adobe PSE2 on the laptop so i can take it with me places to work on stuff.

Again it is super hot today. we leave tomorrow for the district convention in dekalb, il. so that'll be nice to get out and meet some new ppl, i hope. so what do you think about these layouts? the ladies on AMLT like the belly shots and the messy face ones. havent posted the other on there. now they can just check it out here. leave comments if you want too.
