Very cute indeed Amy!

I just go by what my ped, the nutrionist and the ICN nurses told me.

I am really busy the past couple of days. I have tons of envelopes to write up...and no time to get them done. I don't think tired really sums up how I feel, I guess I'm past tired and exhaustion that I feel normal. If I sleep for more then four hours a night I have insomnia the following evening. Fun!

Josee- I don't post pics here because of the rigamaroll I have to go through so I post all my photos to Facebook when I have a chance. I'll always let you all know here when I do post pics though....which soon, I do have a few to share.

We DCed L's caffeine today early. The vomiting was getting to be too much, they are considered full term now so it's not much of a worry. He only had three days left. L weighs 7lbs and 1 oz and J is 7lbs 11 oz. They are in the 25th and 50th percentile for weights and they are both 19.5 inches long. (25th percentile for heights...they are going to be short like mom and dad! lol) J has terrible gas and screams for eons some times, but it's okay. We switch off and take him and get through it, no complaints here.

shawna, glad the boys are doing well. sorry that you are not sleeping well. it will get better. before you know they will be sleeping through the night. most night lily sleeps 7:00-6:30 and sometimes wakes up around 3:00 or 4:00. hang in there. can't wait to see more pics of those precious boys.

josee, i want to open an etsy shop but i am too afraid of the committment right now. teaching and lily keep me very busy and i only have a few hours in the late evenings and sometimes the weekends to work. i would hate to get orders and then not be able to send them out for weeks. in june my mom is having a HUGE open house for me at her house. we have a list of almost 100 invites to send out. on the invite i will say "bring a friend and get 10% off of your purchase" we'll see how that goes 1st. so far i will be selling bows, tutus, appliqued onesies, bow holders, frames, bulletin boards, stools and cute little door hangers. i also came up w/ another cute idea to display a child's art/school work. i got a wood plaque and painted it. then attached 4 clothes pins. over the clothes pins i attached cut wood cutouts. simple and cute.

have you guys heard of amy butler fabric? it's beautiful and i just won a bid of 100 5" inch squares of it in a variety of patterns. i will use these for my appliqued onesies.

thanks ladies for always sharing in my excitement w/ all of this. it has truely become a dream of mine to do it full time. i never thought i would get such joy out of creating things. and the fact that i am making them for babies/children makes it even better.

hope everyone is having a good day. i'll be back later to catch up w/ everyone.

Wyatt is 11 lb 11.5 oz (50%), and 24" (85%). He got his DTaP shot and Rotovirus oral vaccine. I fed him for 2 minutes maybe. He is sleeping and won't eat more. Doesn't want to wake. Probably good since we have a 5 hour drive!

Me too. They weren't some hoaky place either, these guys were the real deal and the best part about it, we aren't paying a sitting fee! They want our kiddos for their portfolio.

Shawna, I can't wait to see the pics! How did the caffeine cutoff go?

Kelly, have a great trip!!! I'll miss ya!

Liza, 45 for SENIORS!!!

Amy, that is awesome about your open house in June. I can't wait to see the pics of all you are producing. Where do you find the time? You make me feel lazy!


We've spent every day and night getting the house ready. We are EXHAUSTED! Hopefully we'll sell fast.
