And We're Back!

What we've been up to since my last post:

 - September: pregnant with our 4th child (yay!); quite sick with all-day "morning" sickness (boo)

 - December: finally feeling better. Christmas vacation with the whole family to California!

 - Jan-May: preparing for our baby's birth

 - Springtime: enjoying our new baby; last days of school

 - Summertime: vacation to Maine! And a ton of work (and fun) singing with my sisters, creating music videos, and getting our singing group "GaleSong" going again.

Our Baby Girl is Here!

Our baby is here and we're all healthy and happy and sleepy. :)

On Babymoon until June, 2011!

How to Get Pregnant Using a CD Stash (Silly Story w/ Pics)

We had our first pre-natal exam this week and saw our sweet little one at 12 weeks! Everything is looking good so far and I'm finally starting to feel a bit better (not as much all-day morning-sickness)

In honor of the occasion I wrote up this silly story. Enjoy!

1 - TTC for 1.5 years.
2 - Pray. A lot. Know that somehow everything will turn out ok.
3 - Enjoy Playgroup with your best friend (who is pregnant)

4 - Throw a baby shower for your best friend!

Totoro-themed with characters, acorn cake, and little rose washcloth shower favors. Lesley made the adorable Totoro characters. :)



5 - Gift the majority of your diaper stash to your best friend.

Over 120 diapers, prefolds, covers, doublers, wetbags, etc.


6 - TTC for a couple more months
7 - POAS....

Wahoo indeed!

8 - Start making another cloth diaper stash :)


Live happily ever after with cloth-diapered tushies in the house. :)

**Note: Lesley was very reluctant to take our cloth diapers but I knew she'd use them and was happy they'd be useful rather than sitting in a dark closet.

And look how sweet her newest little girl is!

Revised banners per Maggie's request. :)

Banners for "sweetpeaboutique"

I'm excited to be working again with Maggie from "sweetpeaboutique"!

She ordered my trio of advertising banners and requested sizes 468x60 (for Hyena Cart), 150x50 (for DiaperSwappers), and 200x200 (static for Congos). Her shop's theme is constantly changing so she gave me free reign with the banners.

I thought a little image of a sweet pea would be cute, so I created one to use in her banners.

I also created a simple header for her. :)
