Wish me luck!!!

Diane and Sandy are introducing me to consignment sales. Around here there are a few good sales put on by various children's groups. Tonight is my first one. I'll report back if, I make it through the trenches!

Maybe a Mini?

I've been thinking about cribs since, my trip with Mom to Babies R Us. I've looked at a lot online and I haven't made up my mind but, I'm thinking more and more about a mini crib. Specifically the Baby Mod - Mini Lily 2-in-1 Convertible Crib from Walmart. It has a solid look and has gotten lots of good reviews. It's also shorter so it would be easier for my short self to get baby out. It coverts to a twin sized bed which, I like a whole lot better than most that convert to a full sized bed. The only complaints were about the mattress that came with it being too thin but, better ones can be purchased at baby stores. Here's the link and a picture.

Another Appointment and Yarn!!!!

We had an appointment with Dr. Reed yesterday afternoon. Everything is good! We saw the heartbeat on the ultrasound and it looks good.

Mom took me out shopping for yarn for a baby afghan. It's one i've made a couple times for other people and now i get to make for my own sweet pea!

Here's the Yarn Samples, it's Bernat Baby Coordinates

The purple looks darker than it is.

My Current Baby

So this isn't about the one we're having but, our little husky/beagle mix. Michael likes to call her a busky. We took Zoey to the dog park Friday after work and I just realized how grown up she is now! She's still very much a puppy at 9 months old but, she doesn't get into as many skuffles as she did when she was younger and she looks like an adult dog. She's such a good girl and I often feel like she doesn't get enough attention now that I've been soooo tired. Michael is still good at walking with her for a couple miles in the middle of the night but, I've been slacking. Mostly we just hang out watching TV or reading on the couch. I really need to teach her fetch so she can run while I'm being lazy. Lately I've just been working on "sit", "stay", "up", and "leave it", she knows these but it doesn't hurt to refresh. I tried to teach her to roll over but, that was frustarting to both of us, she to too bendy so her head will follow the treat and her but will stay put, it's kind of cute. Anyway, just lamenting her growing so fast!

Learning the Ropes

I've been learning new skills at work and revisiting some old ones. I am now completely out of the chemical labs and starting to figure out the new work. It's the kind of work that is repeatitive and not to mentally taxing but, it's time consuming so it's helpful to have someone do it. I am so happy to do it and be in a safe environment and be able to sit down when I need to. I can't imagine working in a high energy, demanding job right now. It also gives me plenty of time to listen to my IPOD. I've discovered some new podcasts to make the day go by quicker.
