Anna's 5th Birthday and Christmas!

Wowwie...I have not been here in sooo long! This morning sickness is horrible...it seems like everything I do makes it worse. I know this sounds so absurd, but seriously if I sit down to the laptop...I feel even more sick! It's crazy. I can't smell or drink coffee...or make or burn candles...or drive in the car....BLOG!!!!! OMG....I really really hope this subsides soon...what will I do with myself?? I so miss all my friends here, and I really miss reading all of your blogs. I feel pretty good this morning so I thought I would do a quick entry about Anna's 5th bday on December 16th and Christmas. I hope you all had the most wonderful Holidays. Santa brought us a Wii...and ya....can you say, "Wii addicts"? Oh my goodness...we all need a support group over here!! I will talk to you all soon!!

Crazy Daisy Open house...and Christmas Cookies!

Last weekend was a pretty great weekend! Friday afternoon I found out that my pregnancy is on the right track..which was such a relief! I was going out of my mind from Wed afternoon until Friday! On Friday night I had a "Crazy daisy open house". I sent out evites to my friends and family. I had lots of candles for sale of course. I also had jewelry, and other fun gifts. It went wonderful...I had a great turn out and I made about $300.00! So between this open house and both my craft fairs that I was in...I think i managed to make about $700.00. I 'm proud of myself for putting in all the hard work, it was so worth it!

I made these white elephant gift bags filled with goodies for anyone who needed a gift for a white elephant gift exchange! They were a hit...I sold all of them but One!


Whats a open house without lots and lots of yummy food!

Cream puffs...yummo!!

This was my candle display on the kitchen table

Saturday my sister and my brother in law came over for lunch and to make Christmas cookies!

she is so cute...and today...December 16th is her Bday! Happy birthday Anna Banana!

Yep...even uncle Gabe could not resist the fun!!

They turned out yummy...oh ya...thanks lis for the frosting recipe...they were perfect!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!

I'm back....

Hey everyone! Sorry I never posted about my first Doctors Appointment last Wednesday. Let's just say that day did not go as I had planned. When my doctor was looking for a fetus...she could only see the sac and the yolk sac (which is good) but for as far along as we thought i was...the fetus should definitely have been visible. So...she wanted me to get blood test asap. I had that done and the number in my blood to indicate pregnancy was at 8,000, I had to go back to do another blood test on Friday to see if the number was going up. I was so happy because on Friday late afternoon, i found out that that number was at 16,000! My doctor does not want me to be 100% happy until my next ultra sound this Thursday morning. The blood tests on Wednesday also showed that my progesterone level was dangerously low. So on Wed night I started taking a progesterone supplement. So....so far everything is looking good, but I will know more on Thursday. I will say...with the progesterone level rising...the morning sickness (or all day sickness) is definitely kicking in!!!



I hope everyone is doing great!! I need to go check out every one's blogs...i have not been here in days...and i so miss everyone!!

some pics from our Thanksgiving trip...

I totally forgot to post a couple pictures from our Thanksgiving trip!

Here are the kids with my sister in law

what I'm up to this week....

1. I am having a "Crazy Daisy open house" This Friday at my house. I invited several friends and family. I am going to sell my candles, jewelry and other fun gifts. I have had several rsvp's and it's going to be a better turn out than I ever imagined! I am super duper excited about it!



2. Tomorrow is my very first doctors appointment for the baby. I am letting Michael "ditch" school...so that he can come. There is a Chuck E. Cheese right by the Doc's...so we are going to head over there for lunch and fun. I will post about the doctors tomorrow.



3. Anna has her testing at her ice skating lessons on Thursday...so she is excited and nervous about that.


Okay....I am off to clean...and craft for my open house on Friday!! I will take lots of pictures!



I so love blogging and I love all my blogging friends! Have a beautiful day everyone.

I am most certainly NOT Ditzy...lol
