I had forgotten how much work a new baby is I knew I'd have less time for myself but I feel like I have absolutely no time at all. I'm lucky to even get dressed in the morning. Ever since I came home from the hospital with the baby one or more of my kids have been sick, then last Sunday the baby came down with a fever so we took him to the emergency room and had tests run well after staying two nights in the hospital all tests results came back negative and Ammon was released we still don't know why he had a fever.
I have been working on baby announcements but by the rate I'm going he'll be 1 yr before they even get sent out. I hope things settle down here so I can get some time to stamp I'm really missing it. Have a great day.

Friday the 13th treasure


I just wanted to let you know I had by baby boy on March 13th.I'm so excited he's here.
The Dr. had planed to induce me this day so I knew a few days before what I didn't expect was when I went to the hospital we found out he had flipped again in to the breech position. Luckily the Dr. was able to flip him again to the right position, then induce me. At 4:28pm we welcomed Ammon Rhys Smith our beautiful little boy weighing 6 lb 14 oz and 18.5 inches long. The baby and I are both home and feeling good although exhausted. Now I'm worried about my other kids they are sick with a fever and are staying with my mom I hope and pray they get better soon I miss them.

Update

It's been awhile and I thought I would update everyone on how I'm doing. Last Friday I found out my baby was breech so Monday morning I had to do to the hospital to see if they could turn the baby. Luckily they were successful I was at the hospital from 6:30 to 10:00 and it only took the doctors about 45 sec. to turn my baby they said it was the easiest one they've ever had. Now I worry if it was so easy to turn will the baby turn back I hope not but there is the chance it will happen. I do have another appointment Friday and well see what happens. Yay my due date is less that two weeks away. I'm so excited. Hope to keep you posted.

Wow it's been over a week since my last post and unfortunately I won't be posting much for awhile. I have no desire to stamp anything. Right now I 'm looking forward to having my my baby only three weeks away. I still have so much to get ready. I was looking forward and hoping my little one would come early but now my two girls are sick with a fever so I'm hoping the baby will wait a little longer. I can't believe I actually said that who wants to be pregnant longer lol.

Well here is a card I made back in Jan. that I never posted I used my circle nestabilites and my cc designs little money stamp from the monkey love set.

Busy Busy Busy

Last Thursday my daughter came down with a stomach bug or maybe it was something she ate because nobody else came down with it. Then came Valentine's day which is really no problem I mainly just celebrate it by giving my kids something I don't celebrate it with my husband because our anniversary is two days later which is today. Love you honey Happy Anniversary(just in case he reads this but he probably doesn't even know my blog name). Wow we've been been married for 8 yrs. I can honestly say I love him more each and every day.
I don't know how much I'll be able to post this week I'm going out to dinner with my hubby tonight. Wednesday is my daughters birthday so I need to get my house in order for her birthday party. Then I start my weekly visits to the doctor on Friday.My son is also off track until March so instead of two crazy monkeys running around I have three and my son just happens to be the craziest of all. Well now that you know my schedule for the week just know it's crazy here lol.

Here is a card I was supposed to post last Thursday. this card is for the Snss sketch challenge #3 on pcp. I used snss purr-fect day. I have been busy making hair bows because of Jen del Muro's post here My camera battery died so I'll have to take the photo later to show tomorrow if I get a chance.

stamps- puff-fect day(snss)
ink-tuxedo black(memento)

Kimmie's challenge & Baby card


This is the last of Kimmie's challenges and this one we needed to use a boy or girl stamp with flowers. A friend of mine and his wife just had a baby girl so I thought I would make this card to send to them. Since I'm writing about babies did you know I only have 5 more weeks left of my pregnancy, and is it so bad of me to want my baby to come just 1 week early. I know I won't get much stamping time after the baby is born but I am sooo ready for this pregnancy to be over with. Ok so enough of my complaining .Thanks for visiting and have a great day.

What I used
stamps-(ctmh)
ink-tuxedo black(memento)
dp-Nana's nursery baby girl(dcwv)
cs-blush(ctmh), white(GP)
supplies-ribbon(dollar store), copic markers, bridal confetti flowers(Michael's), button brads(making memories), stickles, circle nestabilities(spellbinders).

Guest Designer for Belli challenge #54


Chrissy asked me to be the guest designer for belli challenge #54 this is the second week how exciting. This weeks Belli challenge is to use doilies. I decided to make a box in abag instead of a card. You can find the tutorial here. It was so easy I don't know why I held off on making these it was so much fun. I used dcwv patterned paper and used the doily for the main image I used my circle nesties for the scalloped circles the stamp image is another of the doodle factory stamps from sweets n hearts of course I had to cover it with stickles I just love glitter btw but I'm sure you all know that by now. For the bottom I used MS doily punch and added ribbon around it. Well thanks for visiting today don't forget to see what the belli design team has made today they are listed below.
