I'm pregnant!!

So, I just went to the doctor yesterday and found out I'm very pregnant. They said my hormone levels are very high, suggesting I am about 8 weeks along already! I kinda thought I was pregnant but I wasn't sure, we had already given up on me being able to get pregnant, and here we go! :)
I don't have my first appointment until September 18th, but I think I'm going to be a high risk pregnancy because of my vascular problems. I'm excited though, this is my second baby. I think it'll be more of a precaution to make me high risk than anything, the hospital here uses midwives instead of doctors. I need someone who knows what they're doing for my veins too...
Anyway, this pregnancy is soo different, I am always tired. Im ready for bed by the time I stand up from waking up in the morning! On that note, Im going back to sleep before my son wakes up! :) wish me luck lol

Food for Thought

So... I was sitting here making my grocery list for the next 2 weeks.. and I got on allrecipes.com and saw a brief headline that said... Slow cooker Sundays... hmm I thought to myself, I wonder if I have that many recipes, or if I would actually keep it up..
I have only used one once, and it was a few days ago, it was amazing. I made a deer roast my dad gave me. I think I would like to try this out. Maybe not every sunday.. maybe every other. I don't think my hubby would like it if I made that many roasts lol... but I did see a recipe for lasagna. maybe I'll try that. Seems interesting enough.

My latest layout

So... long time since I posted on here... I've been busy with life... I finally got this page done this morning, only took me 3 days.. It's of us at the beach, well kinda, it's a shore in a bayou.. so it's kinda a beach. Anyways, so my son was absolutely terrified.. we went out on my cousin in laws boat and stopped at this little piece of shore to swim for a while... my son FLIPPED OUT!!! He hated the boat, the lifejacket, the water, the sand... everything!!! It took us like 2 hours to get him to be calm, and he still wasn't really having it. He eventually warmed up to the sand, once I threw a bunch of it on myself to show him it was ok... wont do that again lol....

ANyway, here's the layout. I used paint for the sand at the bottom then my PI for the rest.

My first card!!!

Ok, so I made this card on my Pazzles machine. I admit I got the file from a group I'm in on Yahoo. I decorated the card with glitter pens, next time I plan to use something different, but for a four year old I think it'll do. :) I don't really understand why my camera didn't get a better pic of it though... the inside of the card is actually pink, and the outside is purple... hmm..... maybe bad lighting... you can kinda see it in the first one..

It was kinda fun, and soo easy! I think I might start making some more cards... I don't know what for though lol....

What a week....

This week has been horrible. I had so much going on it wasn't even funny. I had my air conditioner go out, it ended up being about 90 degrees in my house. My son and I were soo miserable, DH got to go to work lol....

I had an orthodontist appointment, we got my hubby's motorcycle partially fixed, he now has a hole in his gas tank and we have to replace that, $600 later... ugh.

My Dh grandpa got put in the hospital for a triple bypass surgery, he is doing better now though he's still in the hospital. I did manage to do a small bit of scrapping, mostly just 10 minutes at a time over the past week. I was working on my latest challenge. It was a sketch, which by the way I wasn't entirely sure what to do, but I figured it out I think. Here's a picture of it.

I don't know how much I like how it came out... my hubby said it looks like something from the 80's lol.... I suppose he's right. He did say he liked my design, just not the colors. I agree with him there. The button is crooked in the pic, which I only just now noticed. I didn't have it stuck on when I took the pic, it must have moved. :D Anyway, well that's all I have gotten done recently. I'm out of page protectors for my books, so I'm kinda trying to stall until I can go get more.

My first challenge.

So, I did my first challenge this week. I haven't ever done one, but they seem to inspire me to try new techniques and styles on my pages. Anyway, I did these for the challenge in a group I'm in on cafemom.com. The first challenge was to do something outdoorsy, so I chose my son at the park. The second challenge was for using a recycled calendar page. I chose to make this one about the 12 months my husband was gone to Afghanistan. I think my favorite is the calendar one. :) I can't wait to do another challenge. I really had a lot of fun with it.

An Interesting day....

So we got some news about my husbands motorcycle, it's in the shop right now. He only got to ride it to work for 2 days before it broke down... go figure. Anyway, there's a whole bunch wrong with it, he needs a new gas tank, which is $600 we don't have, then a bunch of little things, then the shop wants to charge lmost $400 for just labor.... ( makes me think I should be a mechanic for that kind of money lol ) So needless to say it hasn't been a very good day.

I did get a scrapbook page done though, here's a picture of it. It's pictures of my husband and I from about 3 years ago, and it's taken me this long to get it in my book lol....

Anyway, guess I'm going to start another one now......
