Happy things. Sad things. Worrisome things. Exciting things.
Starting in on three fun ties for my little boys for my little brother's wedding on the 10th of November...Need to make a vintage cream and lace maternity skirt as well....should be stunning, if I can get it to fit right. LOL!
I haven't even started Christmas yet. Guess it should be easy if the bank account is screaming "NO!"...but still....we can put a big red bow on the roof of the house and the roof of the car, right?!
Sheer exhaustion. Recovered from a terrible flu last week and am STILL trying to catch up. Just on the basic stuff. I did get everything disinfected, so that's a plus. Also hauled all three boys and myself to get flu shots.....4 days too late.
Patience being tested by little boys, and I'm trying SO STINKING HARD to be so grateful for these blessings I've been given. Some days it seems impossible with their antics, but I'm trying anyways. Can I stress IMPOSSIBLE again? Maybe I'm crazy for believing that another one is supposed to join us.
Ultrasound on November 9th! Excited to see if we'll have a 4x4 relay team, or a 'widdle sisser' to protect. :) We were going to wrap the gender up and put it under the Christmas tree, but I am sure I cannot wait that long. I must know. I think I know, but I must be sure.
Oh, and I passed the preliminary glucose test. Right after the doctor weighed Kortlen (9lbs 4 oz) she turned to me and said, "did you have Gestational Diabetes? Because I'm sure you did!" sooooooooo.....had to do a 1 hour test. Numbers were high (27? I think GD is 35?) but I passed, and am doing my best to really plan and eat healthy meals....it sure is hard when there's not even time to sit and eat!
I'm unofficially in business....doing alterations, making a wedding dress, and all that jazz....Soooooooo... if you know of anyone in the area who is looking to have work done, send them my way! I've got some projects already on the docket, but my turnaround time is MUCH faster than it used to be. LOL! Partially because I've got my game on, partially because I'm keeping busy with it. My prices are reasonable (case-by-case basis) and I'm really excited to be able to use my talents to help others.
Sewing till midnight beats substitute teaching any day. :)

Sheesh, I wish you were close. I would rob a bank to pay you for some serious sewing I need done. :)
And the 9th...really? That seems so fast. I was thinking about the end of November, maybe I'll get lucky too.
Do you do any embroidering? I just ordered some matching stockings for our family and would like to get our names embroidered on them. If you don't, no big deal.
I love your blog and love keeping "in touch" with you, even if I don't ever comment.
So I didn't have GD this time around....I was tested THREE times. I still followed the diet because I didn't believe it. Bree was 9 lbs 12 oz. So much for tests being right. Follow the meals and exercise{which is the key that they don't tell you about}, but know some babies just like to be a little chubby coming out! Three of my girls had low sugar afterwards and none of it has affected them, so I wouldn't stress too much about it.
Good to you know you are sewing for others! I'll keep that in mind. If you ever wanna give me your sewing machine that would be fine too. :)
