Yep...I gots it...gestational diabetes. ::sigh::
Went to my first diabetes education appointment today and was... educated, slightly depressed more then anything. In the end it felt like 'you can't eat anything' when really it was 'you're fine, just need to limit carb./sugar intake'. I have a feeling that I'm going to be very hungry...But we'll manage right? Until I get that craving for skittles or a huge hamburger that will drive me insane. ::weeps::
Oh how I wish my cravings we're not so intense, along with the fact that pregnancy for me was a feeling the best I've ever felt health wise experience, but no...
meh...

The joy of naptime...
I love this time of day where I get to sit and browse etsy.com or just fooling around on facebook or google+...anything really to keep me away from the evil chores that I have no patience for, while Bubby has a nap.
Lately naps haven't been happening. Too much fun to be had in his bedroom or just the enjoyment of alone time. Who knows? All I know is that he's a character and is pretty independent. Bubby is talking more and more but with that also comes more teeth and trouble. I'm just loving the occasional "MOMMY! MOMMY! MOMMY!....Hi." that gets yelled out randomly, even when I'm sitting right next to him.
For an update on my etsy shop...I have done some sewing and am almost done with all the fat quarters that I'm turning into flannel burp cloths. I still have six flannel baby blankets to put together but it'll all get done at some point.
My mother-in-law (she's a professional photographer) came over and took pictures of the few projects I already have done. Which was exciting, another step towards hopefully selling something and having the shop look more professional.
But on to other non-etsy related projects. Halloween! yes oh yes, we're nerds and we're going full out this year. hehe!
We are dressing up Bubby as Doctor Who. You have to feel sorry for the poor children who are too young to pick they're own costumes. Poor Bubby, but! he'll totally be the coolest 20 month old at trunk or treat.
Daddy is in charge of making a homemade sonic screwdriver and I have found an awesome tutorial on how to make a tardis trick or treat bag! Oh yeah..super nerds! woo! I'm even on the look out on etsy.com to find a toddler bow tie to go with his outfit!
Oh my poor children...next year we'll have two to dress up..oh the ideas are endless! I love it!

a taste..
Here's a taste of some of the burp cloths (my fatty rags) I have all finish. I have more but I'm putting them though the washer and dryer to make sure they hold up and are all clean. Hope to have them up on our etsy soon. But I have to wait until I can get good pictures taken of them. All the pics I've taken today the lighting is crap and my camera is old and stupid, so I can't really get it to look like I want.
Meh...was all feeling good and pumped to be that much closer to starting it all only to have to wait. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day and that much closer to hopefully getting something accomplished. Even if its just cleaning my kitchen or getting caught up on True Blood. I really don't want anything to do with that kitchen...

tacos! woot!
Today's accomplishment: Homemade taco sauce.
At the rate I'm going everything is slow and hurty. I'm in last leg of my pregnancy (3 1/2 months) with a mess of a house, that never goes away. ::cries::
What can ya do? Just take one day at a time and write a blog on your awesomeness for the day! YA! lol
I did make some pretty dang good tacos and homemade taco sauce today to help us save money and keep our goal of "no more eating out"...Oh Taco Bell how I miss you... But Mommy Bell was a hit with Bubby and Daddy. We'll see if Jude liked it too, if I have heartburn later we'll know we're a go on spicy yum yums.
Here is the recipe I used for the homemade taco sauce:
http://www.food.com/recipe/taco-bell-taco-sauce-60254
I did alter it a bit. I didn't have tomato sauce so I use diced tomatoes with chilies, used all the spices asked for but the garlic I used minced and I minced up onion too instead of using powdered. Then I pureed it all in my food processor then followed the cooking instructions.
So, here's to a messy house, a happy toddler, nap time, and a to-do list the size of a whale...just like my bum.
Tonight's goal! Getting paypal set up for our etsy store and getting more sewing done. See the awesome pile of cloth diaper burp rags waiting to be finished behind Bubby? hehe
