I learned how to knit and crochet a few yrs ago by watching youtube and books. I'm not great but I do ok. I have a ton of yarn that was gifted so I really need to get busy making stuff. I'd like to crochet a blankie for this baby, and some shorties/longies.

I am soo soo glad to think I will not have to pack my house again unless we have to refinish our floors downstairs. I do have to (soonish) start cleaning out my storage unit so we can fit it all into our shed when dh finishes that. But I am counting on Feb being out last month paying for storage. That's $60/m back in our pockets! Whoot!

I really need to get to bed, tomorrow after I drop off L for preK I have to run to WM to p/u a few things, plus the bkcases I ordered. I'm going to try this--


Well- I'm using two white bkcases and will trim them out. This is going in our dining room and will house our office supplies. Hopefully our printer, and all the kids crafts and stuff that we haven't a home for. I have lots of boxes too that I am hoping to either decorate with paper or fabric for cheap bins.

Hi preggies! I'm new to the group. Hope that's okay.

I'm going to try to plant a garden but who am I kidding hubby will be doing everything...lol
What I like to do in summer is stay out of the heat & drink caramel coffee coollattas. I'll replace them with caramel banana milk shakes! I have hypoglycemia so heat is super hot to me & cold is super cold. I've never been pregnant past April & I thought I was going to pass out from the heat in nj (which isn't that much).

I like no one but hubby in the birth room. Every birth has brought us even closer. I don't want to share it with anyone. I don't like hospital visitors unless they're my kids. I don't like home visitors until 2-3 months later. lol

Hopefully my mother will be out of the country when this baby is born because she gets on my nerves & I don't want her around my kids unsupervised. :-S

something that's not in my sig is that I'm a homeschooler.

Welcome and congrats Natty!

Pump the water to them. You have to have lots of water to have good cuc. Planting them in a 5 gallon bucket with miricle grow and watering them with a soaker hose a lot of times will do the trick.

I had been crocheting for 20+ years and when I had dd I loved the look of knit garmets vs crocheted ones. So I got on youtube and knittinghelp.com and taught myself.

So sorry Misty! Moving is never fun.

AFM: DD started running a temp at church. By the time we got home it was up to 103.5. Even after giving her tylenol her temp wouldn't go below 100. She has a bad history with strep, so we have to go into the PED office later for a strep and flu test. She says her throat hurts too. So not a good sign.

On a much brighter note, I think m/s may be leaving me alone now. It's been over a week since my last hurl. If it stays away this will be the earliest that m/s has ever left! Also, ate fajitas last night for the first time in a while (mexican has been making me want to hurl at the smell of it) and I was in LOVE!!!! Maybe things are looking up!

[stevensmom]

that is great news about the m/s Katie! Sorry about dd
