Is it the weekend yet?

Blair Darren and I are ready for the weekend to get here. Not only does Darren have the weekend off but then Monday for memorial. We're headed to a hotel to swim and to pick up a swingset at Walmart. Last night my ever so talkative and cute girl decided to put on a swimsuit fashion show. I haven't laughed and smiled that much in awhile (okay maybe a week, that girl knows how to make me laugh). She looked so darn cute, and grown up strutting around in her suits. She then put on her light up princess sandals and told her Mama and Daddy to put their "swimmies" on. Yay for the weekend!! I can't wait to wear our summer clothes, which I have gotten some really great pieces. I know I talk about Walmart and how I love it but I truly do get some great deals and great clothes. I have (and have another on the way) a tie dye dress that I love, Darren not so much, but it's not obnoxious tye die and it's a tea length and would be perfect if we lived somewhere hot. So I suppose I'll wear it the two days it gets warm over here, and to the river. I've also found some shorts that are the bermuda style with stretch and they perfect since I am not a skinny minny and I usually hate shorts. Now Blair, she can pull of anything, and she looks so adorable in her denim shorts and capris and tanks. I've been wanting a jean jacket and I got one from ON that is in a tall since I have long arms, and I can't wait to wear it when it's nice but chilly out...haven't even had one of those days yet, and I'm thinking of ordering one from Walmart, at half the price.
As far at TTC news, I've been trying the OPKs and CD 11 still no positive, so I'm hoping it's soon, maybe even this weekend with the sun shining and good moods it'll happen. I was contemplating yesterday if I would be satisfied in my life with one child, and in a way I am/would be. But because Blair is so sweet, special, smart, loveable, cute, adding another child in our family would be nothing but amazing. I don't want Blair to be an only child, I think she'll be a wonderful big sister. I know in my life I wouldn't be nearly as happy without my brother. So think good baby thoughts for us and lots and lots of baby dust:)

Life evolves so I suppose a Blog can evolve too

I never thought my DDH blog would turn into a TTC blog, but as the title reads my life is ever evolving so shall my Blog. Another disapointing, heart breaking month has come and gone. As I have said Blair was my very pleasant surprise pregnancy and now that we're TTC and it's not happening it makes me realize how pleasant a surprise pregnancy truly is. No counting days, testing, and bawling the whole day because AF has come. No staring at the maternity closet and actually wanting your belly to grow and stretch and welcome morning sickness and heartburn and eventually surgery and then sleepless nights. But I need to be optimistic; I bought a OPK and I will actually be buying another since it only tests for 7 days and well that is just not enough for me, I want to be sure this time. So come on February birth month, afterall it is an excellent month to be born:) So to those who read my blog, I'm sure it's few, as I only have one follower, cross your fingers and toes and send lots of baby dust my way!!

Goodbye Fb

Yep I did it, I delete Fb and to be honest it feels good. That darn website took up way too much of my time, and besides missing the easy e-mailing of my three close friends and seeing people's pictures, I'm over it. I thought I might go back in a week but I'm okay now, the addiction is gone:)
Mother's day has come and gone and as predicted I had a lovely day, breakfast in bed was nice but I did feel antsy since I am the mother hen every morning that delivers the cats and dog their food/medicene. Speaking of which, Joshua is doing sososos much better on the phenobarbital, he has gained some weight so unfortunately he's had to cut back on his bisquits and treats, he's still peeing all the time and thirsty too but I can live with that. A visit to the vet for his blood work reminded me at how lucky we are that he's still alive, all the people at the clinic were very happy to see him up and around.
Blair is saying 3 word sentences and after spending two days with her cousin she learned the word TURN, as in we take turns. The word has really sunk in as all her babies (there's like 12 of them now) take turns down her slide and take turns on the swing. She's also into disciplining them too, she tells me one is being mean or no nice and they quickly go to time out. She's going to be a great Mama someday!
I've been getting the best deals on maternity clothes and I look through my closet everyday and HOPE AND HOPE that soon I will be wearing them, so people cross your fingers and toes because I am FINALLY ready for it to happen.

RAVE

Okay I'm not one to rave about certain products but today I want to say how much I love Clorox 3 stain removes. I should have taken before and after pictures because I am amazed at the stains it removed! One of Blair's favorite shirts, it's a granimals, green, and super soft, had the worst strawberry stains. So I pretreated it threw it in the wash and crossed my fingers...and what do you know, it all came out!! I am so amazed!!

YOUCH!

Luckily in this life the worst pain I've had was the unavoidable C-section, I have (knock on wood) never broken a bone, sprained anything, or had stitches besides in my mouth and later across my belly. My poor Blair is teething, for hopefully the last time, and has been feverish and crying. Yesterday after she awoke from her nap I held her awhile as she cried and that is the time I pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve in my back, youch!!!! I have hurt my back once before, dang sciatica before and after I had Blair acted up and I literally called my Mom to get Blair off of my chest because I could not get out of the bed. So here I am today feeling that same way, except the pain is higher up, and it's not bending down or picking things up, it's the twisting and for some odd reason dipaer changes KILL my back right now. I really hope it gets better for Mother's day because I have a date with my Mom, Grandma and sister in law! Yay! I haven't been to the movies since before Blair was born.
