Not Me 04/26

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Welcome to another confession! If you are visiting for the first time WELCOME!

Look around, introduce yourself...heck stay awhile :)

Confession time...

I most certainly did NOT catch my child eating the dogs bone! If I did I certainly wouldn't grab the camera for a little video action. I of course wouldn't give the bone back to the dog knowing the boy would be willing to do battle for it again. Nope, NOT me!

That would be gross!

I did not garden my little fingers to the bone off and on for the last 2 weeks! I definitely wouldn't have ripped out a few bushes and lots of weeds to turn a flower bed into more garden space. I also don't have little sprouts popping up from my garden! Woo Hoo!

I have not been a snappy hormonal biatch. Never would I let my nerves, hormones, and emotions get the best of me! 
Thank goodness my family still loves me...or at least they pretend too ;)

Now, what haven't you been up to??

New Layout?

I have been wanting to switch to a 3 column layout for a few months.  One problem, I am not very computer techy savvy!  Well, I ended up with this!  What do you think?  I am not sold but think it will do for now!  I have a few more things I would like to get on here in the next few weeks.  If you ever log on and things look a little wonky, forgive me?  Pretty please?  I am not the best so sometimes kinks take me forever a few minutes to get worked out!

Thank you to everyone that reads and comments!  I appreciate them all!  I wish blogger made it easier to reply to messages so it doesn't seem like I am ignoring everyone!

Karly's first fish!

Have I mentioned I love living in a neighborhood? Not just any neighborhood but the one we picked? As I mentioned before Karly has made great friends with a little girl here, they are pretty much inseparable. It also helps that I knew her dad through work before even knowing it was her dad! Small world! Her mom is great as well! They are great neighbors!

Onto the point of this post :)

Karly's friend Sam and her parents took Karly fishing last weekend. Karly has been fishing before and I guess you could say "caught" a fish (read: held the pole after the fish was already on it and out of water). Sooo this is Karly's first real fish that she caught and reeled in. Pretty impressive right?

That's my girl!

Baby "O"

As you all know I am pregnant...again. Yes, I was pregnant this time last year! Yes, we actually tried both times! Yes, we were surprised this one happened so fast. Yes, my 2 little ones will be about 17 months apart! Yes, there is a good chance I may rip my hair out some days. Yes, we are thrilled!

Yesterday was our first appointment. This is always a relieving appointment. You find out your due date or the rough guess for it. You also get to really KNOW something is in there! I thought I was about 8 weeks but we are really 10 weeks today! I did feel a little better knowing that! I was feeling a little silly and guilty for being so tired and sick so early on but it turns out I was in my usual prime misery state from 6-9 weeks. It's all uphill from here.

It was so exciting to see the little heartbeat and baby floating around. My first U/S with Sawyer I was a few weeks earlier and he resembled a kidney bean with a heartbeat. Sooo seeing little tiny arms and legs was really neat. Here is a picture from yesterday along with a few labels I added to make it easier :)

Things I like Thursday 04/22

Hmmm...I never know just what to highlight. I mean, I like A LOT of things!

Here are this weeks picks! There is zero rhyme or reason to this list. Hope you are not a "have to have a theme" type of person!

First up...Chris and I just planted a garden. Well, Chris actually planted the first one and I just got the second one going last night. If I can say so mine is much cuter...just don't tell Chris! One problem I did run into; I started seeds in little leftover plant holder things. Well.....I started with Serrano peppers, then I remembered Chris had some peas that never made it out of the package so I threw some of them in the empty spots and waited for sprouts. Oops! I forgot to label what was what! Needless to say I think I transplanted the peas into the ground this evening. I am pretty sure its what they are anyways! I have the peppers I am waiting on, cucumbers, carrots, green beans and cilantro. I think I am going to do an herb garden in the other flower bed that has no flowers! How cute would these markers be??? Plus, I would know what is what :)

I found these at Magpiedesignz; lovin them.  Seriously check out this shop...gorgeous stuff in there!  I found a few things I may HAVE to have!

I found these adorable veggie ones at Daisychestnut

Totally switching gears from gardening to baby

I wanted this tub last time and didn't get it. Since I won't really be needing/getting much this time around I think I deserve this tub! It may have to be a gift to myself! I hate those huge tubs that take up the entire bathtub and the water pools in weird spots. The Puj tub is brilliant. You know, one of those things you see and think "I totally should have thought of that myself" yep, this is one of those!

Pretty brilliant right?

and last but not least

Tough Titties Nipple Rub...ha ha! I am totally judging this book by its cover! LOVE the name! You can find this at Least Likely To Breed.  She has a handful of other super clever borderline inappropriately named options....Bad Ass Booty Balm, Roid Rage and Hand Job are a few others. There are also totally G rated options in store as well! They also have a website with a lot more info and even some all natural recipes! With such great prices I would never bother doing it myself but hey you might want to so Ill link you to the recipes too! I will for sure be purchasing some of this come feeding time!

Hope you enjoyed Things I Like Thursday!  See ya next week!

Men's pant legs to baby shorts

What do you do with random half leg scraps? Well if you aren't me you probably throw them away. If you are me you definitely may be tempted to steal them and throw them in a pile with great intentions of creating something amazing only to forget the damn pile and start on something new.

Not today my friends...not today!

Chris cut off the legs of some pants (from his military days that he never wore) making them into more practical (will actually get worn) shorts. I of course snatched those sad little half legs and decided they would become a matching set of shorts for Sawyer...and I made them! Woo Hoo! I started and finished a project! That alone for me is an amazing feat but to do it in a morning! Holy Moses this girl is a changed woman! Ok, not quite ;) Either way, they are no where near perfect but they do the trick and were FREE! Love me some FREE!

Now I just need to mend his work uniforms he asked me to do a month ago...

or maybe later ;)
