Random Stuff

Just some random stuff from the past week. The first is Logan on Saturday. He was really mad that Alexis wasn't coming over and told me he was going outside...to do what, I don't know. He put his shoes and hat and Daddy's sunglasses on and then opened the front door to leave. I then pointed out to him that it was cold outside and he needed a coat. While he was getting his coat on, I locked the screen door, and when he came back he fiddled with it for about ten minutes. When he still couldn't get it open, he abandoned the idea and closed the door and took off all his "outside" things. An updated "fat" picture of me taken by Trevor today. He took one of my actual belly, but I thought it was too gross to post. Sorry! 36 weeks pregnant!!
And finally a sign board I painted and tacked ribbon to. It makes a great bow holder! I know it's a weird angle for the picture, but Logan took it for me.

The Winter BLAHS!

Is anyone else oh so tired of this annoying weather? One minute it is all warm and the snow is melting and it just seems like Spring is in the air, and the next thing you know it's freezing cold and snowing again. I wish Mother Nature would stop her teasing. I am ready for Spring!

I'm a NERD

Yes, I am a nerd. And to prove it to you, here are a few of the nerdy things I have been doing lately.
Yeah, I figured out those headbands and how to make the bows. I have the headbands in pink, white, black and creme so far. I have so many cute bows now. Although, I want to know how Emily Becker makes her cute bows and how Erika makes her flower clips. I can't figure it out! Pacifier clips. I got this idea from Emily. She is just so in style! I just love the one little Ellie has. Of course you can't just make one and be done with it.I will admit I have made NINE so far. You gotta have different colors! And I double crimped the ends for safety's sake. They say to check these leashes before each use. You never know...it could break.
This picture did not turn out well. This is also a binky leash, but these I made with ribbon. All colors of the rainbow. They are all very cute as well. I just couldn't help myself. Once you get going, it's hard to stop!

So I think I may be giving some of these things away since I have an over abundance. I told you... I am a nerd!

Hospital Tour


Yesterday Laura, Amy, and I took a little trip over to Ingham to see what their facilities have to offer. First of all, am I the only one who didn't know that Ingham has TWO campuses? Good thing I went with these girls or when the time comes to have the baby I would have shown up in the wrong place. No joke!

So I thought Sparrow was a bit confusing to find your way around, but never have I been in a more confusing unlabeled mess of hallways like Ingham. It is awful! The birthing suites are massive and comfortable, but I was disappointed to find that you don't get to stay in the same room the whole time. They move you a few hours after the baby arrives to a smaller room. I was really spoiled when I had Logan to stay in the same room the whole time.

All in all I really liked the labor and delivery center. I am all about the smaller hospital and more intimate setting.... and I really can't wait to get there! ha ha!

The Best News EVER!!


So I finally found a doc-in-the-box I can go to. They would NOT take my medicaid, but luckily I had signed up for Ingham Health Plan right before I got pregnant, and they were willing to take that. I went today, and the doctor said "Your lungs sound horrible". She just kept shaking her head like "why didn't you get this taken care of sooner". Yeah, well if I could have I WOULD have! She said that my air intake was greatly inhibited due to the amount of crap in my lungs (duh!) and that it could affect the baby. So I told her that the medicine they gave me in the ER was DUMB because I couldn't take it. So she wrote me out some prescriptions, and gave me a breathing treatment, and sent me on my way. The really exciting part about all this is that she gave me a prescription antacid, so I'm hoping that I won't have to take 16 Tums a day anymore. Hooray for feeling better! I'm looking forward to the end of this next week!
