Nothing Exciting !

I was given this award the other day, and just thought I would take a minute to say thank you ! Go on over and check out her blog http://goyay.blogspot.com/ !

I haven't really been sitting here all that much this week as it makes me to uncomfortable to sit up. I feel better sitting on the couch with my feet up on the coffee table. It feels like maybe I give the baby more room that way and I can actually breath and I don't feel pain anywhere when I sit that way. So I'm not really looking forward to sitting in the car for two hours to go see that other doctor , but I guess I'll have to so we can get a good look at the baby's heart and I just hope everything is OK and it's just she's too squished !

Other then that nothing has been really going on here. I hope everyone has a great weekend !

The New Winner !

I told my husband who is sitting in the other room....pick a number between 1-25 and I didn't say why. I was going to use that as my winner and he said 14 ! It was his number in baseball when he was a kid !

Ecostore USA Giveaway !

I recently was able to try a couple products from Ecostore USA , I tried the Baby Nappy Balm which I really liked ! It like all their products is made without any nasty harsh chemicals ...so that means it's safe for even the smallest member of your family .

I also tried the Dish Wash Liquid , which I also liked . I have found that some dish washing liquids I have tried tend to not sit well with my skin and my hands look awful after I have been using them. When I used this I didn't have red burnt looking dry hands , so I was very happy ! Plus it did my whole sink full of dishes without me having to squirt more in before I was finished !

I have spent some time over at the Ecostore site and they have a lot of interesting things to read and some great products for you and your family to use and feel safe doing so !

Here's a little of what I learned over there :


-According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers accidental poisonings occur in the home every 30 seconds.

-The National Safety Council has reported that more children under four die of from accidental poisoning than are killed by guns.

-A report by the EPA to Congress determined household cleaners three times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air pollution.

-Women who work from home and are more frequently exposed to household toxins and poor air quality are 50% more likely to develop cancer.

-Newborn infants have trace levels of toxic chemicals in their bodies, passed on by their mother’s exposure.

If you would like to learn more about the Ecostore or just about how your family can be green check out their site !

Now on to the giveaway !

The Ecostore has generously offered to give one of my readers a $25 gift certificate to their store ! That way you can try some of their products too, if you're not already a customer !

This Is All I I Ever Think About .....

.......and the closest one is 40 minutes away! When the DH had to go to that town in April I made him bring this home to me . I wish so bad that there was one here, I love the Monterey Chicken and the BBQ Chicken salad is good too and I like the Mango Icetea ...I just wish you could get the corn salsa without the beans in it....instead I'm stuck picking them all out ....YUCK !

Anyways don't mind me I'm bored and have no life !

I went to the doctor for my two week check-up yesterday and things didn't go the same as they have been. The baby did have her legs open though so we really could have a good look for the first time ever and there were no boy parts to be found ...so now we are sure it's a girl!

That's a good thing since now I have a room full of ladybugs ! Then the appointment just got worse and worse.... she listened to the heartbeat and I thought I heard something weird....So did she and she listened longer and longer and you most definitely can hear a pause in the heart beats ....so I started to get worried then she said it was in the 120s I got more stressed.

I have had 4 other babies and never until I was in labor has any of the heartbeats been below 140s. Then she said she thinks the baby is big for how far along I am , but since my weight has not changed in the last almost three months ...my belly is squishing her really bad...no kidding I can tell ! I feel cramped and have no room in there and now I'm awake all night and all the normal things you feel in the last couple weeks before you have the baby....the only thing is I still have 8 to go !

So now I have to go get a second opinion from a doctor 2 hours away so they can do a 4-d scan and have a good look at the amount of water in there and do an echo and stuff of the baby's heart and see just what's up with the low heart beat and the skipping beats.

Then after I'm freaked out the nurse does my blood pressure because she hadn't done it when I first went in like they always do and of course it was high ...for the first time ever ! Well HELLO....no wonder it's high ...you just scared me to death over the baby ! I had to stay 10 minutes longer and have her check it again and it was back to normal .

So now I'm waiting to hear when it is we have to go see that other doctor ,and trying not to stress and freak out over everything . On top of that my hubby still hasn't heard back about anything he's applied for ...he hasn't gotten the note they send out saying no-thanks yet either which means he's still in the running for them ...that's good , but still not knowing when he's going to have a job really stresses me out !

On to other things.......I still have not heard from one of my winners for the post-it giveaway , so if by tonight I still haven't then I'm going to pull another name. That way I can get your names sent in to the company and the winners can get their goodies !

OK well that's enough mindless drivel from me today !

Post-it Giveaway !

I have been getting the Post-it newsletter for years now, so when I had the chance to share some Post-it products with my readers ....I had to say YES !

I have always loved everything from Post-it and have used their products for years and now my children all use them too ! They use them in school and around home for different things and the best thing is they use recycled paper !

Since 1975, 3M's Pollution Prevention Pays, or 3P program, has prevented the generation of over 2.7 billion pounds of pollution. Since 1990, 3M has cut volatile organic air emissions by 95% and greenhouse gas emissions by 62%. In addition, 3M has been working to minimize waste through prevention, reuse, and recycling at its operations since the 1970s. In 2008, 3M recycled or reused 20 times more waste than it treated, disposed of in a landfill, or sent to a waste-to-energy facility.

Recycling is an important strategy for diverting waste from overcrowded landfills. The collected paper is used as a raw material for making recycled paper, boxes, and tissue products. Recycling also protects forests by reducing the need for virgin fiber. But recycling means more than just collecting recyclable items. The three elements of recycling include the collection of waste, the manufacture of new products from recycled material and the purchase of these items. By purchasing recycled content products you help strengthen the market for those products, encourage new technologies and create more stable markets for the sale of materials separated from recycling. When you purchase recycled paper products, you're doing your part for the environment.

Post-it has a great site where you can check out all of the many products they offer and where you can learn a lot about their company and many other things.

Now for the giveaway :

2 People will each get 3 packs of Recycled notes and Super Sticky Recycled Notes !


All you have to do is go to their site and tell me what other product they carry that you like !

For extra entries :

1. Follow me and leave me another comment saying you do !

2. Add my button to your blog and let me know in another comment you have it !

3. Blog about this giveaway and come back and tell me you did in another comment !


Remember to leave an email address if you don't have a blog ,so I have a way of contacting you if you are one of my winners !

Contest will end May 24th at midnight !

The Skinny Cow !

If you have never heard of The Skinny Cow products, let me tell you now RUN out and get some ! As you know I'm very pregnant and I do not need to be gaining any more weight . However I'm always hungry and wanting something yummy .

The Skinny Cow products are very yummy and I don't have to worry about all the calories like I do eating other frozen treats. I know sometimes you can try things that are fat free or low calorie and they just don't taste right .

I have tried the Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches and loved them both !

I also tried the Chocolate Truffle Bars and they too are very good !

They have a great site where you can go check out all the yummy products they offer or you can sign up for their newsletter and a number of other interesting things you can read and do . So if you are like me and like to have treats , but really shouldn't these are the treats for you !

Thank you to MomCentral for letting me know about these great products .

We Are The Most Boring People Ever !

I got the Anniversary figurine and my two big hanging baskets for out front and a couple cards , for our anniversary. I got those on Saturday and the figurine he brought home on Tuesday for me. It was really nice of him, since I have been telling him once the baby comes and we know it's a girl for sure and what color hair it has then I want to get one with a girl with her hair.

So I was surprised he went on his own and got one that I haven't told him before hand that I want. Yesterday though when it was our Anniversary and I thought maybe we will go out for supper or something .....we did nothing !

He went to write his Biology final at the college in the morning and I hung out two loads of laundry in the afternoon and made Jambalaya for supper and we watched the hockey game. Other then that we did nothing exciting ...you would think we were in our 80's !

We did watch a couple movies in the last couple weeks, The Reader I liked it..it's long and boring but I thought the story was good. He thought it was just too slow and boring , and wasn't even thrilled with seeing her naked so many times . I thought he might enjoy seeing a naked skinny woman over and over through the movie since all he sees now is big fat pregnant me !

The other one we watched was The Boy In Striped Pajamas it was good and we both liked it , I know it won't be for some people either since it's not really action ...it was a good story though and something I could really see a kid doing !

OK well little man is yelling that he wants out of bed for his breakfast and his shows, so I hope everyone has a good day !

Happy Anniversary !

Married 3 years today and together 5 , I hope it's nice all day so we can do something .

For more pictures go here , here and here !

15 Months Today !

You were born 15 months ago , on a Tuesday...I love you so very much !

Look how cute you are sleeping on the floor, too bad you weren't doing that last night in your bed !

Instead you were screaming your head off like a nut for two hours !

Picture Challenge 14 !

This week's challenge is : Go to your July 2004 folder get the 22nd picture or 7th folder closest to that date !

My picture is from November 2004 , since that is the closest I have. It's in Mexico at the Mayan Ruins .

For more pictures go here !

Blogoversary !

Holy Cow ! I have been doing this for a year already ! I was going to do a contest , but since the dh still isn't working and it's been storming and stuff here for over a week ...I didn't get out to look for something to buy and I'm sure that pleases him since we have no money !

Things were so bad here yesterday morning that there were tree branches everywhere and lots of big old trees fell down. I can see three houses just from my yard that have trees down and one is right smack down on to the house and it's roof and wall is all caved in.

I was looking around when the rain and wind died down and thank goodness that big tree didn't fall in our front yard on to this house...I may not like this house , but I'm sure having a tree through your walls and roof would make it so much worse !

I found lots of little eggs in the yard that had fallen out of nests from the big tree , my dh was glad they were all broke because he knew if they weren't someone (me) would have made him get a ladder and go put them back !

Since I mentioned getting new shoes last week and I haven't showed them to you , I thought I'd stick them in this post. I love them they were $85 regular and I got them for $54 so that's good as I would not have bought them at full price ! Now I just need nice sunny weather so I can wear them !

We are just going to be sticking around here this weekend , I just realized this is a busy few days as far as events go. Today is my Blogoversary then there is Mother's Day and then Brody turns 15 months and then its my Anniversary on Wednesday !

So since we are just going to be sitting around here all weekend...tell me what exciting plans do you have ?

His First Love ?

When he hears The View come on he comes into the room ,and as soon as he sees Whoopi he sits down and doesn't move until the first part is over and they aren't showing any close ups anymore ! He does it everyday !

For more pictures go here and here !

Coffee or Tea ?

You Are Tea

You are mellow and reflective. You don't allow yourself to feel in a rush and frenzied. You're likely to appreciated the ideas or connections that come up over a warm cup of tea. While you do enjoy the energy of a caffeine boost, you love that it allows you to take a break. You're not in a rush to do anything. You're content with your life, and in no rush to change it.

OK, I never drink hot tea and really I disagree with almost all of this ...but to be honest I didn't answer one of the questions... the one where you pick between beer and wine ....I hate both !

So what are you Coffee or Tea ?

The Winner Is .......

The winner of the Evenflo Breast Pump and pads is :
