Happy Birthday to You!


Bubby's birthday was just a few days ago. His party was on Saturday. Everyone had a great time! We managed 19 people in our 880 square foot cottage! The original guest list had 25! Anyhoo...the theme was construction. My sister came over and helped me decorate with orange and yellow balloons and streamers. We even had streamers that looked like crime scene tape that said "birthday zone." I made a #1 that looked like a construction sign and put pictures of Bubby in it from birth to 1 year. My sister decorated the cake with construction equipment candles in a scene of a road, river and construction site. Hubby decorated outside with road cones and a "flaggers ahead" sign he borrowed from work. The children guests received their own plastic hard hats and sippy cups in the shape of road cones. Even the punch was orange!


Donald was so well behaved and received so many wonderful gifts. I put him to bed after cake and ice cream before a melt-down occured. He slept soundly for nearly 3 hours!


I figured the party would last about an hour to an hour and a half, but everyone was having so much fun that they stayed for 3 hours! What a blessing!


Hubby and I were exhausted, but happy after the party. Bubby just wanted to play with his new toys!

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some ...

Blessing, Wisdom, Modesty, Feminine Influences

My wonderful husband bought me a new vacuum! My old one threw sparks out at me, so I refused to run it for fear of my life. So, hubby bought me a new vacuum and it's wonderful! It even has a self-cleaning duster attachment! Hubby appreciates the hepa filter. I enjoy having a vacuum that actually does it's job. Oh, and my other favorite attachment is the special adjustable upholstery and stairs doo-hickey with it's own rotating brush. It's great for dog hair. I recently had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. Hubby teased me that I was going to lose my wisdom, but I actually gained some! While I was in dreadful pain and recovering, I had to eat VERY carefully. During this time I learned that: 1. I eat when I'm not hungry...not a good habit to get into. 2. I eat too fast and don't savor my food. Therefore, I tend to eat a bit more so as to enjoy the flavor. 3. I put food in my mouth when I'm still chewing the first portion I put in. Blech...what a...

1 Week

Baby Boy is one week old today! He's doing so well and we are all smitten with him. I am amazed at his growth and progress in just 1 week! Baby Boy is a quiet lad who only cries when it is necessary (at least so far). During his wakeful times, he enjoys staring at patterns or his mommy. He's great at turning his head to look around and listens intently when I sing. He's not the strongest feeder, yet and prefers multiple quick snacks rather than spaced out dinners. His umbilical cord stump is almost ready to fall off. He likes to be swaddled and loves being held. So much so that when I do hold him, he falls asleep almost instantly, but if I put him down, he wakes up. Not all the time, though. :)
