Newsflash!!!
So we've recently discovered a little news! I started noticing a couple weeks ago that things were changing...you know, lack of energy...nausea...the normal symptoms...of PREGNANCY! Woohoo! Yes we are expecting our 3rd child. I'm currently about 5 weeks along and my EDD is October 19th, 2011. We are REALLY hoping for a boy this time around! I'm going to be switching to a Certified Nurse Midwife with OBGYN Associates and I'm really looking forward to having a natural birth in the hospital (No, I'm not having an epidural) ^_^ I have been experiencing some nasty nausea since Thursday but managing....I'm really hoping that this one won't have me as sick as I was with Heather (I was SICK 7 out of 9 months with her...it was horrible....but SO worth it when she arrived!). Things are going well otherwise though and I'm looking forward to collecting this little bean's cloth diaper stash ^_^ We need a few more newborn diapers since I plan to CD from birth this time around ^_^ I managed to find a few kidalog organic fitteds on Diaperswappers FSOT boards and a couple of other fitteds on Spots Corner for great prices so I got them the other day. I'm really looking forward to my fluffy mail! ^_^ I'm getting gender neutral diapers for now but as soon as I find out for sure what we're having, I'm SO getting some super cute gender specific diapers for the baby. Anyway, I'll keep it updated as more happens. So happy cooking for us ^_^

Customer's Longies
Here's a few recent longies customs I've made. I'm working on 2 more pairs of Paton's wool yarn longies that I haven't gotten pictures of yet. I've finished a grey pair and am halfway through a teel blue pair that are coming out nicely as well.
First, a pair of custom striped christmas longies. I loved how these turned out ^_^
Next 2 pairs of Purewool Nature (2 shades of green) colorway longies. These are for 2 different children.
Pair 1:
The cuff on the first pair:

So apparently I'm terrible at keeping a blog...
Yeah....so as usual, I have been terrible at keeping up with this blog. I really ought to get into the habit of writing each week here....Anyway, just thought I'd give a quick update and add some pictures of some longies I've made for customers. ^_^
Eddie and I celebrated our 6th anniversary this past weekend (February 12th) by taking a family vacation to Atlanta, GA. We took the girls and my dad with us (babysitting help ^_^). Eddie loves model railroading and is slowly building up a stock of HO scale CSX engines and cars. In one of his "Model Railroading" magazines, he found out about a MR hobby show coming to Atlanta the weekend of our anniversary. We haven't had a family trip in ages and he really wanted to go to this show and we knew the girls would love it (LOTS of Thomas stuff for the kids) so we decided that instead of taking the typical date trip, it would be awesome to have a family trip. We found a Hampton Inn right around the corner from the Galleria Centre in the Vinings area (it was awesome!) for a great price and booked 2 nights there. So we drove up Friday evening after Dad and Eddie got out of work and checked in to the hotel. Saturday morning we got up around 8am and had a wonderful (complimentary!) breakfast of our choices of waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, pastries/muffins, yogurt, cereal and lots more! Have I mentioned we loved staying at the Hampton Inn?! Anyway, after breakfast, we went over to the galleria convention center and found the Train show. We had a blast! We were there from 10a - 5p with a break at 1pm for lunch across the walkway in the Cumberland Mall food court. Heather LOVED getting to ride the Thomas train for kids and they had lots of kid areas with legos, wooden trains, and much more to keep the kids entertained! Dad helped out a lot with this and would take Heather and Mikayla around to these kid areas and let them play while we went through all the booths. Heather LOVED looking at all the model trains too! Eddie found 3 more cars for his model train and some other pieces he needed to update his engines that he already has. We also got Heather a wooden Thomas train set (the small oval track set with Thomas), some extra track that was on sale, and annie and clarabell to go with it. We also found a Thomas backpack that is perfect for holding all the train pieces! She would hardly let go of the box on the way back to the hotel that evening! Afterwards, we rested for about an hour while Dad took Heather to get a quick bite to eat at McDonald's. When he got back, Eddie and I dressed for an evening out and went to the Garrison's Broiler & Tap for our anniversary dinner. We both opted for steak and potatoes with a side salad. The meal was absolutely awesome and we had a great time! After dinner, we shared a brownie sundae for desert and it was SO Delicious and rich! We couldn't even finish it because it was so big! It was worth it though! The next morning, we all slept in a while (exhaustion from walking ALL DAY) and then had breakfast at the hotel again before going to the Georgia Aquarium. Dad's been a couple times but the rest of us have never been before and we THOROUGHLY enjoyed it! If you're in the area and can swing it, you should definitely visit this aquarium! The tunnel is AWESOME! Heather went through the tunnel a dozen time just to see all the fish in the huge tank. We got lots of great pictures that I'll have to share as soon as I get the camera charged back up...it died at the end of the visit. After we finished all the exhibits, we went through the gift shop. Dad got the girls matching t-shirts while Eddie and I bought GA and Atlanta shot glasses to add to our collection. After that, the girls were getting whiny and tired....and so were we ^_~ so we decided to load up and head home. All in all it was a wonderful family trip that I will cherish for years to come. ^_^
