The Willow Tree Collection

I was at the Salvation Army today. A wooden figurine caught my eye, it was 1.99.

Now I want more!!!

Is it summer yet?

I can't believe I'm going to type this, but I'm ready for the kids to be out of school - well, atleast Ashlyn. I can't stand her teacher or most of the parents. I'm ready for her to be back at our school. She can't wait to be in Kindergarten! And I'm sick of the freezing cold and my house never being clean.

I'm having a conflict.

The other day, a blog I follow had a story of a woman who was in nursing school. During her training she had to attend a newborn circumcision. I never thought about this aspect of becoming a labor and delivery nurse. I can not sit through that and watch a screaming baby go though a surgery without anestesia. Also last night on facebook Diana posted about her doctor appointment today they were going to decide whether she would have a c-section or not due to size and possible shoulder dystocia. Apparently if the baby is bigger than 8lbs 14oz they are going to get things going...somehow. I think it's completely ridiculous! Ultrasounds are not accurate in size determination late in pregnancy and come on! Shoulder dystocia!? It is always a possibility for this to happen no matter the size of the mothers pelvis or baby!

So since I'm at this cross road of whether I should or should not go to nursing school, I'm looking into my doula training. Also, after Riley's birth Kate offered me an apprenticeship to train with her when I'm ready.

Riley on the 17th

I can't believe how big he's getting already. He's 6 weeks and 2 days old.

I bought a ring sling!!

Courtenay is making it for me and the fabric is so pretty!!! I can't wait until it's done. She'll be coming over Friday as well to redo Riley's newborn screening. The sample wasn't good enough for the health department. Kate is in Portland because her father isn't doing so well and his cancer is back. :( She found out about that the night Riley was born. I also got an Uttercover from uttercover.com for only the cost of shipping - just under 10.00. If you're interested just type Christmas as the promo code.

Day #2 in Cloth

So far so good!! Loving the Bum Genius AIO's right now.

Calgon, take me to the Bahama's!

Today has been INSANE! Anywho- tomorrow we get our funiture which we are all excited about since we'll all be able to sit on it at the same time! LOL Yesterday I got my 1st smile out of Riley. Saturday I picked up my beautiful "blingtastic" as my chiropractor, Dr. Becky put it. ;) I love it, I can't stop looking at it. Lots of stuff coming up next week - that will require another post and now I must go defuse whatever the girls are fighting about and get Riley who's crying.

Our new furniture

It comes with everything in the picture, lamps, table, TV, and XBox. The TV and Xbox are going in our room. It arrives next week!

It's snowing!!

It's our 1st large snow fall, which compared to last year is small. But I'm still excited about it. Kailey has dance tonight and I'm not sure if she's going yet. I'm sure Jesse will want her to go, and normally I wouldn't mind taking her, but I have a headache and I'm tired, and that makes me not want to deal with all the stupids. I do love driving in the snow though.

Boo Hoo...

I'm not feeling the cloth diapering love yet. So he's still in sposies...

Instead of FML, FMH - the "H" is for HOUSE!

My house, we can't seem to keep anything fixed! The plumbing in the bathroom is leaking into the downstairs ceiling - we knew this and Jesse is procrastinating. So today I was cleaning the girls room and moved their bed and the floor is sopping wet! So looks like our furniture is yet again, on hold. FMH!

Happy New Year!

I rang in the New Year in bed nursing Riley! lol I'm not crazy about New Year's, yes, I have an issue with getting old.
