And...........

Sarah has dropped. She best stay put!

30 weeks???

OK, so here I am already 3/4 through my 3rd pregnancy. Crazy. I was at Goodwill today and one of the workers remembered me from when I was about to pop with David and said, "Weren't you pregnant last time I saw you?" Yes, that was me I said. That lady must have an incredible memory because it has been about a year since I've been in that store. Me on the other hand....I forget people's names literally within seconds of meeting them.

And Cohen if you're reading this...I asked that lady if you were working and was told that she could not say if you were working our not because of the "privacy act" or some craziness like that. Silly if you ask me. I was like, "I'm his cousin...not a stalker."

So I'm super excited to get my new jewelry making supplies. Chains, clasps, beads, and ribbon oh my!! I just have to make the stuff. We'll see how that goes....

So did anyone catch any of Oprah yesterday? Yeah, I think we should all boycott that show. She was literally promoting pornography for women and couples. What has this world come to? Are we really that hedonistic? I mean....I like my coffee, but that's about as guilty as my pleasures go. Maybe I've just been suppressing myself and don't know what I'm missing?? Oh thank you Oprah!! I have seen the light!! Oh wait....I have MORALS!!!

So I'm already thinking about when Sarah comes. How is life going to change? I'm predicting an all out Barnum and Bailey three ring circus up in this place. Who knows, maybe my coffee habit will produce a nice, calm baby because I surely skipped on the caffeine for my first two babies and they are both about an 11 on a scale of 1-10 on the activity scale.

Welp! That's about all the random tidbits I can produce right now. I'm looking forward to making some jewelry and watching some Glee tonight. What are you plans? Do tell...

Starting tonight...

I will be a jewelry making feign. Oh yes my friends!! I am going to shift things into high gear for the Christmas season. Joyous homemade gifts of jewels! Ok....cheesy moment!! haha.

Just pray for my butt that it holds up over the long periods of sitting that are to come...

Weekend Update

So we've had a busy and eventful weekend. Friday night was YAMS....good times, good people, and VERY good food (thanks Brian). I was pleasantly surprised that Eve and David went night night at another house in the SAME room without waking each other. Miraculous!! I'm hoping that David gets a little better about sleeping ALL THE WAY through the night before Sarah gets here since he and Eve will be roomies until Sarah is a better sleeper. Pray for us!!

Saturday, my parents came to watch the kids for us as our place. It was SOOO nice to be able to just leave and come home....no packing kids, transporting, picking up kids from a dead sleep, and transplanting into their own beds. So nice. Jesse and I went to Panera's and then to a new Life Group we wanted to try out. I LOVE the people and want to keep going, but I don't think I can because the lady whose house it is at has a dog.....and I'm pretty sure I had a bad allergic reaction. So........thus our search for a life group continues. But that shouldn't be a problem. They have so many at KPC. It's just a matter of finding one that's kid friendly and allergen friendly.

This morning we went to church and our friends Joe and Lindee came as guests and LOVED it. So now we have some instant friends there....some good pew buddies. Maybe we can pass notes. haha. When we went to pick up Eve, she had a little battle scar. She fell with a toy in her mouth and her upper lip was a bit swollen. Poor thing. She recovered pretty quickly after they gave her ice....she liked eating the ice mostly. Distractions are the best for two year olds.

So then we went to have lunch and just chill at my parent's house. Eve loves her NeNe and BawBaw. David even napped over there. Another miracle. Later we headed over to Joe and Lindee's house for some evening soup and Rock band. Eve only got spanked like four times for jumping on little Joey's bed, but other than that, great time! Lindee made this really awesome Tortilla soup that I will be requesting the recipe for.

In other news:
1. The other day Eve came up to me, put her hand on my chin and said, "Listen to me, I want to watch Bible man, okay?" Where did she get that from?? Hmmm....
2. David has started pulling up on things by himself. Scary. Only one battle scar so far. All that remains is a faded scratch on his left cheek.
3. I have a HUGE respect for anyone who has potty trained a child. My patience is running thin...... At least our carpets are getting cleaned soon.
4. Sarah is making herself known.....my belly is constantly moving. If you ever see me staring at my belly, I'm just watching for my little alien.


So.....not much else I can think of. I should take notes more often because whenever I go to blog, my mind goes blank. Our life is like a comic strip.....stuff is ALWAYS happening that makes me almost pee my pants or want to scream. It's the peaceful moments like this that make me forget all the crazy parts of the day. When you are a mom, you learn to detach your mommy brain when the kids are asleep and for a moment...life is peaceful. Almost as it was before we had kids. Man! That time seems so far off in the past. I'm so glad Jesse and I are doing this while we're still young. I don't recommend waiting til you're 30 to start having babies. But hey....if you're one of those people who decided to wait or for whatever reason could not have a child until you were in your 30's I am not going to judge.

But...I will say this. When you are still waking up in the middle of the night with your infant and trying to potty train a toddler or two, I will be sleeping soundly and thinking of ways to wake my children up in the morning. Ah!!! That will be nice! I can always dream, right?

Etsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie....

Ok, so I FINALLY set up a shop on etsy. You can check it out at christincherie.etsy.com. I only have two items posted because it took me FOREVER, but I will post more soon. I think having my own little shop online will motivate me to make more jewelry. If you're looking for the perfect gift for your little girl....I've got it!! I'm also going to put some jewelry for adults, so look out for that too. Well, goodnight everyone!! I'm sleepy...........

Hiney-O's??

So today I was changing David's diaper after he just ate a whole bunch of Cheerios...well, let's just say that a few of them got into his diaper somehow and fell out while I was changing him. But!! Not to worry!!! Eve was there for "clean up." Before I could say, "get the Hoover" my little Eve Rene was already chowing down on one. Mmmmmmm.....Hiney-O's!!

Sugar and spice and everything nice....

That's what give you high blood sugar apparently!! haha. I failed my 1 hour glucose screening this morning. 2 prior pregnancies and never a high reading until this one. My sugar was 142 and it was supposed to be under 136, so it wasn't too high. I have to go in next Mon for a 3 hour test to rule out gestational diabetes. I'm pretty hopeful that I DON'T have it.

Harvest Party 09 Run Down

Not much to say! Had lots of fun. Lots of cute costumes! Eve got 1st place and David got 2nd place in their age group, so I was a super proud mama. Their costumes turned out adorable thanks to a little ingenuity and a handy dandy hot glue gun. If you can't tell by the pictures, Jesse was Goliath and David was....David and I was was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and Eve was.....you guessed it! Eve! Also too cute not the mention were Chloe as the Queen of Hearts and Emma as a ladybug. Here's a photo collage for your viewing enjoyment!
