Thursday Thirteen #5: Motherhood

9:00 PM  , ,  3 comments

Thirteen things Motherhood has taught me so far...
  1. I can survive on very little sleep.
  2. I can get a bit irritable on very little sleep. ;)
  3. My "mommy instincts" are right for us more often than not.
  4. Burp cloths and spit up on the shoulder are fashion statements. LOL
  5. If he's going to spit up, it will be after a bath - not before.
  6. If I want Dylan in "cute" outfit for something, do not put it on him until seconds before.
  7. How to change a diaper in the dark and half asleep.
  8. Always pack a few more diapers than you think you will need.
  9. Naps are wonderful things.
  10. It's okay if the only thing I get done in a day besides caring for Dylan is taking a shower.
  11. I love spending my days with my son but also treasure my "me" time.
  12. It really is hard work.
  13. There is nothing better than his smiles & laughter...

Thursday Thirteen #4: Scrapbooking Favorites

6:20 AM  , , ,  11 comments

Thirteen of my scrapbooking favorites right now:
  1. Making Memories tiny alpha letter stickers - I seem to use these quite frequently on layouts and cards
  2. Stampin' Up Whisper White ink pad
  3. Sketches & Challenges - excellent for reviving that mojo when I want to scrap, but am struggling with what direction to take.
  4. StazOn black ink pad
  5. We R Memory Keepers 12x12 photo sleeve pages - these are making it so easy for me to quickly add my Project 365 photos to my album.
  6. Punches - especially corner rounder and border punches
  7. Adobe Photoshop
  8. Signo Uniball pens - white & silver
  9. Chipboard
  10. Tombow Mono Adhesive - my favorite adhesive for years. I grab a refill every time I'm at a craft store to make sure to have plenty on hand.
  11. Scallops
  12. Collages - whether cutting & piecing by hand or arranging on the computer & then printing, I'm loving this quick and easy way to add a lot of photos to a layout without the page seeming too busy.
  13. American Crafts 3-ring albums - how did I ever survive without these? They make it so easy to add pages and mix & match sizes.

Thursday Thirteen #3: Random Pregnancy Tidbits

7:00 AM  , , , ,  17 comments

Today marks 25 weeks so I thought I would share 13 random thoughts related to my pregnancy:
  1. The bump has officially been around for 5 weeks.
  2. I really dislike sleeping on my side. I've been a back sleeper for years and am struggling to find a comfortable position on my side.
  3. I think Chester is trying to train me for baby duty. Recently he has literally cried in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. One night I got up, went to the bathroom and returned to find him snuggled into "his" bassinet - a basket full of clean clothes sitting at the foot of our bed. Totally fine. No need to wake me. Like I said, I think he's trying to prepare me. Crazy cat.
  4. I absolutely love my prenatal water aerobics class. The current session ends next Thursday, but I signed up for the spring session so will continue taking it weekly until I'm 35 weeks.
  5. My appetite has begun to increase. I can finally eat a full meal again except at breakfast. For some reason that particular meal (perhaps the empty stomach from overnight?) is still a struggle.
  6. I'm in love with Ziploc Twist 'n Loc containers. The 2 cup size perfectly holds my daily cantaloupe snack. I'm no longer craving it in the "I must have it right this second" way that I did in January, but still enjoying it.
  7. My other cravings include anything chocolate and Cheetos. Thankfully, I've been able to keep those two at bay a bit while letting myself indulge in as much cantaloupe as I desire.
  8. I still have no appetite for ham or bacon. And learned the hard way that soft shell crabs make me queasy as well.
  9. I weigh myself weekly and was concerned when the scale kept going down during the first trimester. The OB did not seem worried and the scale has slowly begun to creep up.
  10. Baby has been kicking me daily for the last 5 weeks. We even have a routine - morning, after lunch and at bedtime he'll happily play for me. :)
  11. I've told Trent numerous times that some of the kicks are strong enough it feels as though my belly literally moves. Monday night we both watched as little Baby accomplished just that.
  12. One of Baby's favorite spots to kick is my belly button - OUCH! I've gently nudged him away from there a couple of times.
  13. We still haven't decided upon a name. Good thing we have a couple more months. ;)
