Happy Thanksgiving!!

I know that it is the day before Thanksgiving but I thought I would say now since I won't have time to post tomorrow. Our plans are to head to Deon's mom's house for the day. So on that note here are the layouts I did:



more later- have a good holiday!!

a least I got something done...

okay I am still working on my list of things to do-- plus I am adding more. I really must get everything cleaned up today because I want to start decorating for christmas around here. Also, I am waiting for the December Martha to come in the mail this week, so I have been reading back december issues to start getting ideas. anyways Xavier is trying to fight sleeping in the swing or anywhere for that matter... not sure how tired he is since he slept all night. Here he is in the swing after I dropped something and woke him up:



Also here is the layout I did last night. I also got one more done, but I still need to do some journaling and then a photo will be posted.




well off to work on the list some more.

my little pirate

here he is:



p.s. tomorrow i turn 24....

Okay, I have been busy with this little guy...

So Xavier was finally born (2 weeks after he was due) and now the fun begins. I have to say that we are very lucky to have a calm sweet baby, who doesn't cry a ton and sleeps really well (at least for now) Plus Deon is the best with him and I am getting really great sleep. Other things that have been happening around here: Deon and I celebrated our 1st anniversary on Sunday. We didn't do anything special maybe this weekend though since it is my birthday on Saturday. Also my best friend Jeri came out for a week and came at the perfect time. She helped out so much while I was healing from the delivery and it was really great just to have her here. So now I am just trying to get a schedule going and getting some stuff organized around here. Plus I am going to try to get some projects done so I can teach them at work in the next couple of months. I also want to get my craft area cleaned up so I can work on Xavier's scrapbook... anyways without an more random delays pics of the little one.

Still waiting

Okay, so yesterday Deon and I spent a lovely 4.5 hours at the hospital to have the non-stress test and an ultrasound to make sure everything was okay and it is. The reason it took so long- nurses are on strike at about 8 hospitals and all baby related things were sent to our hospital, but on the up side free lunch and parking- I am scheduled for another stress test on Mon afternoon, a doctor's appointment on Tues morning, and then we will go from there- hopefully I will go into labor today or tomorrow so I won't have to be induced. (Luckily I am a few centimeters dialated so hopefully that helps) Anyways--- I wanted to share some pictures of me in the shirt that my mom hates (she thought I threw it away) it was my dad's and I love it, oh and Bentley wants to say Hi!!!

40 weeks and still waiting

So I am still waiting for Xavier to arrive, should be anyday now. My mom came and visited me last week (it was the best thing ever) I love having her around and plus I got to eat a lot of my favorite things.... like meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and chicken pot pie- yummy! She also helped me get everything ready for the Xavier. We did have a false alarm on last Monday and we went to the hospital, but in the end I came home. Anyways, hopefully this week will be the one for him to come. Well time for me to eat some breakfast and get some more rest since I am extremely tired.
