Top Mommy Blogs
So, my blog got accepted on the top mommy blogs site. I am not sure how big of a deal this is, considering there are so many sites listed. But, I was happy to just be considered. The baby center bloger contest ended recently, and to be honest (and maybe a little bit of a sore loser) I wasn't too impressed with the blogger they chose. Oh well.
Anyway, this weekend has been exciting. We had a surprise birthday party on Friday, the Navy vs. ECU tailgate yesterday and today we are watching the Redskins game. Relaxing. I have put a basket together to Boo one of my friends. I am thinking about doing it tomorrow. It is such a cute idea.

Good morning!
It's Sunday...I finally went to the doctor on Friday, saw Dr. K at Harbor and she put me on an antibiotic. I love her, wish I didn't have to drive 45 minutes to get to her. Oh well...I talked to her about getting the IUD taken out. Then I talked to Katie, my SIL, who is a nurse, about what BC to be on...because I am DEFINITELY not ready to get pregnant again right now. I love the paraguard because of it's end result, but I dread getting my period every month because I am doubled over in pain, and the bleeding is out of control. NEVER have I bled so much. I talked to my OB and they said that is one of the side effects. Ugh....it's been a year and I think I am DONE with it. Also, my period lasts for 6-7 days....such a pain.
So, Katie suggested that I do the Nuva-Ring. I have already tried pills and I can't remember to take them...I know it sounds silly, but I forget and then I'm screwed. So, I need something that is sort of mindless. Next time, after we have our 4th, I am getting the Mirena. I heard that you barely get a period. But, it has hormones and I don't know how my body will react. Will I be more crazy than I already am? Decisions, decisions, but, I am definitely calling this week to get my IUD out!!! If anyone has any other suggestions, I would LOVE to hear it. We/I are planning on trying to get pregnant in May/June....I want to have the 4th by the time I'm 35. And then I think we are done. We can adopt a child or sponsor a million mids, but I just don't want to be pregnant anymore...
Anyway, we had a great time yesterday at our nephew, Matthew's, 5th birthday bowling party. The kids, Elli and Hank, love love loved to bowl. I just wish they had the duck pins...we will have to take them again to go duck pin bowling. We were home around 6pm and Hank and Jake went to sleep right away. Daniel and I watched, It's Complicated with Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin - it was pretty funny. Daniel didn't complain too much but he demanded the remote after it was over:)
We are hoping to get to visit with Santa today. We were supposed to have the Fox's over for the Redskins game, but with me being sort of sick, I didn't want to even take the chance of passing anything onto Samuel (their 5 week old baby). So, we postponed that for another time. We need to have more Redskins parties!!! And, we need to have more sleepovers with friends and family....before I get pregnant again:(
Alright, the kids have really gone all out to make a HUGE mess of the playroom and their bedrooms, so I will be putting the house back together today!!!

Good morning, November!
Well, this year is FLYING by....speaking of flying - I will be on an airplane in exactly 10 days and the anxiety is already starting. I think it is so ridiculous to have a fear of flying, but it is more of a fear of I'm not in control and there is nothing I can do about it. So, with that said, I got a fresh script from the Shrink and I guess with a few Double margaritas, vodka tonics, bloody Marys or mimosas!
We just got our holiday photo cards and I am bound and determined to get them out the day after Thanksgiving! They are beautiful - Thanks to Heather Owens. Speaking of her, she has really been with us to watch our family grow and I just wanted to thank her because she has really captured SO many great shots that are irreplaceable in my mind. Growing up I would always as my dad, what he would grab if the house was on fire (I don't know why I would ask this) and he always said the pictures because you can't get back those moments and they are irreplaceable. Today, thank goodness for back-up hard drives, Kodak gallery and facebook, of course. So, I am working on my holiday Christmas Card list!
This weekend we did not do much at all. We had so many options of things to do and we have just been on the go so much this month that we decided to just stay home (for the most part) and just relax. Well, Daniel worked on Saturday and I took the kids to the neighborhood Halloween party, but other than that I just baked and cooked...I made this stew with barley, sausage, spinach, garbanzo beans, and some herbs. It was pretty good. I am trying to use stuff that I already have at home because I rarely take inventory and then go out and buy in excess (especially if I see 10 for $10).
Two weeks ago I opened my Etsy shop....well, I hadn't gotten ANY orders, which I am new to this so I didn't mind. But this weekend, I got my first two orders. I have a few lessons learned already. I got an order for Oreo truffles and an order for cake pops. I am shipping them out today and hope the chocolate candy coating doesn't crack during transit. I would totally do this for free for any of my friends....seriously, I love it!
The weight loss - I have been making WW meals almost daily, and avoiding my trigger foods...but I still love my cheese...ugh, it is going to be so hard during the Holiday, I am trying to prepare myself now. It will be nice though, we are staying here for Thanksgiving. This is the first time in 5 years that we will do Thanksgiving here! Pretty excited!!!
Anyway, I can't think of anything else going on....Megan and Jeremy's wedding is in less than 2 weeks and that is why I am flying....to Ft. Lauderdale!!!! Woo hoo!!! So excited for the warm weather again!!! I just have NO clothes that fit....I know, I know....wah, wah wah I don't fit into my clothes because they are too big...but, it is really expensive to buy new clothes every couple of months and since I am still losing, I am very apprehensive about buying size 8s....well i had to buy the basics - jeans, pants, etc. I can't imagine that I would go down to a size 6...I can't remember the last time I wore a 6 - high school? And, last week when I visited Courtney (Blandford) Challoner - she gave me the best compliment - she said that my boobs were the smallest she had seen them - call me crazy, but that just makes my day!!! Good bye big boobs!!!
That's it for now! Hope everyone has a wonderful week - it is FREEZING here in Maryland....and Daniel just told me that I need to go out and buy the kids sweatshirts because they don't have any that fit...so we will be taking a trip to the Super Walmart today. Yeah!
Later peeps!
