I knew it would happen eventually...

I have pneumonia!  Thanks to my wonderful husband.  At least I went to the doctor 2 days after symptoms...he waited like a week or so.

I put my stitching on my bookshelf and for some reason, once it's there, I forget about it until my son points at it and says, "Uh dis?"  Which is really his way of saying, "Get that for me."  He is going to be a little stitcher in training, I think.  He sits in my lap and is fascinated by it, so I just go with it :)

Anyway, I'm going to bed since I don't feel well.  Happy stitching, everyone.

Oh, my GOSH, it's a random WIP!

Well, unfortunately for me, I have the headache from hell today.  So I have been stitching for a few minutes, then putting it down.  I don't know where it came from, but I've been feeling a little under the weather all day.  Everyone in my house is sleeping right now except for me (it's almost 1500).

I figured I owed a random WIP, so here it is:

As always, forgive the quality.  It's the best I can do with my phone lol.  Well, I'm pretty exhausted and my head hurts, so this one gets to be short and sweet.  Happy stitching, everyone!

Pressure. Lots of pressure.

Well, no new stitching today.  I have stitched, but not enough to merit a WIP.  I wouldn't want to waste precious internet space with my not very far TUSAL.

So on the first was payday!  I actually had the discipline to walk right by Hobby Lobby without stopping to spend any money!  Yay me!

We made a day of going to the mall and while we were walking around I saw a nail salon and asked my husband if I could get my nails and toes done.  I haven't done it in over a year and I figured I won't be able to do it again for about the same amount of time because I don't know how much longer this little one is going to stick around before making her grand entrance into the world.  I sat down to get my fingernails done and I could see my son and husband walking around the mall.  My nails were done and they moved me to a pedicure chair with the back massager.  I was about halfway through my pedicure when I noticed my husband walk into Kay Jewelers.

I kind of watched to see if he came out, but he didn't.  My pedicure lasted about 40 more minutes after I saw him walk in and I hadn't been paying attention for THAT long, so I didn't know if he was still in there or not.  I paid and tipped the manicurist and pedicurist and then I walked on over to the jewelry store.  There he was, sitting down at the engagement ring section talking with a manager.

Now, my wedding set is beautiful.  I love my wedding set.  The problem is, I'm allergic to gold (actually it's the nickel in the gold).  My wedding set is white gold.  So I can wear it for a few days, but then I have to take it off for about a month because it burns a ring on my finger.  It's very painful and sometimes, depending on how bad it is, very embarrassing.  My wedding set is one of these ones (looks almost exactly like it):

It's got a plain wedding band with it that's about the same width.

Anyway, my husband tells me, "Go away," hands me a credit card and tells me to go somewhere else.  So I went and got my hair trimmed and layered.  That took about 15 minutes, which I figured was enough time to wander back to the jewelry store.  My husband is still sitting there talking to the lady at Kay.  He pulls a chair out at the counter and says that I need to talk to her.  So the woman hands me two princess cut solitaires and says, "Which one do you prefer, your husband doesn't know."  Oh, my.

So I look at both of them and I picked the one that I liked and she shows it to my husband and then tells him a bunch of stuff about payments, runs his credit, etc.  Now I have a beautiful platinum, 1 carat, princess cut solitaire engagement ring that will be here by the end of the month.  I wasn't...I wasn't expecting it.  I always rag on my husband, but he knows I love him.  I was so blown away by it, I can't believe it.

Anyway, on to the title.  My little one has made it almost impossible for me to sleep because of how much pressure she puts on my hips.  I know it's early (I've about 5 weeks to go) but I am so ready to be done with this pregnancy.  I want to sleep on my belly again.  I want to crack my back.  I want CAFFEINE.  I want real sugar and not Splenda.  Lots of pressure on my body from this little one.  I suppose I have no right to complain, I've had a very easy, low risk pregnancy.  I'm excited to get back into my weight loss regimen.  Pair that with breastfeeding and the weight should come right off lol

Alright, I guess I'm going to go stitch for a bit before I have to cook dinner (after I let my pacing dogs out first).  Happy stitching, everyone.

So much to do, so little time.

Well, I had my pregnancy really put into perspective for me the other day.  I was sitting at WIC, waiting while they took all my information because it was time for my periodic weigh in.  She sat me down on the other side of her desk and was asking me questions, then she scheduled my next appointment, and finally she said to me, "If you go into labor before your next appointment, just tell the lady at the front desk."

WHAT!?  It's really that soon, isn't it...?  Then the flood of all the things that I still haven't done yet came to mind.  I haven't bought a car seat yet!  My son is still in one!  Thank God my kid will be breast fed, so she'll likely only cost us for diapers each month lol.

It's so close!  I have been nesting and I recently went out and "beautified" myself.  I got my nails done, my hair done, new makeup, etc.  Gotta look good in labor I guess?  I don't know why I wanted to do it.  It's been over a year since I've done anything like that for myself, so maybe it was more of a last hurrah since I won't be able to do it again for a while lol.

No stitching WIP today.  Probably in the next couple days though.  I've been cleaning the crap out of my house lol.  I'll probably update a little more in depth about my going out yesterday when I post tomorrow.  Anyway, I hope you all have a great day!  Happy stitching, everyone!

It's Been Three Years

Well, there are no stitchings today.  I have been doing a lot of running around the last couple days.  I'll be doing a lot of running around tomorrow and the next day as well.  My dog is getting spayed, poor thing!  She goes in tomorrow for blood work and weighing in for anesthesia and then she goes in the next day for the actual surgery.  If it weren't for living on post, I would never get her fixed.  She's a purebred German Shepherd and I just...I would love for her to have at least a litter of puppies, but from my understanding it's illegal to sell puppies on post.

Off that subject, because I feel bad for my baby having to go under the knife...

So, it's been three years since I had contact lenses.  My husband had been saving money behind my back and bought me a year supply of my lenses.  I guess sometimes he really DOES think about me, right ;)  He even took my car away and got it fixed for me.  So...I guess I learned that he IS capable of saving money!  Lol, he's usually a spender and he knows I'm joking :)

Alright, this was just a quick update and then running away.  Time for dinner!  Happy stitching, everyone, and wish my GSD luck with her spaying!

Why Don't You Go To the Doctor?

I wonder how many times I have to say that to my husband?  He's been coughing up a lung for the last week or so.  Now, he's throwing up, which says that he's getting worse.  So...WHY WON'T HE GO TO THE DOCTOR?  Men are such babies when they get sick and it's very frustrating.

Anyway, not much new going on here, I have been stitching like crazy since last night but this freakin' Bambi is just so slow going for some reason.  So it looks like there's almost no progress.  I am loving this kit though.  It's looking so adorable already and I'm not even that far into it!  I didn't know there was a Thomas Kinkade Little Mermaid kit.  I might have to buy that one next.  If you're interested (not like anyone reads anyway) I bought Bambi's First year from Hobby Lobby, but all of the Disney Dreams Collection kits are HERE.  My favorite kit is the Lion King one...I have never seen it anywhere but that site, so if you want it and you happen to see it, pick it up because you never know when you'll see it again!

WIP of Bambi's First Year (it's not much, but it's random lol)

In a Fog Today

I'm very exhausted today and I'm not sure why.  I haven't really done anything because I feel like I'm in a dream world.  I did have a doctor's appointment today and I was fine until just after that.  Maybe I am getting sick and my body hasn't realized it other than the sleepiness.  You know, that IS a possibility.  I tend to be sleepy the couple days before I get sick and my husband is sick right now, so...

I swear to God if I catch whatever he has I'm punching him.

Anyway, I am proud of myself because today I cleaned the crap out of my living room.  I even busted out the steam cleaner.  That NEVER happens.  I must be nesting.

My stitching has been going well.  I would take a picture, but my phone appears to be missing right now.  Bambi's the biggest project I've ever done and I think I'm a little intimidated by it so it's taking me a bit longer.

Time to go to bed.  I guess I better rest while I can before I end up sick like my husband.  Hopefully I don't wake up sick.  Good night and happy stitching :)
