hey hey hey!

ive concluded that i will not be able to blog as much as id like, so i guess ill just get a blog in when i can and when i think about it.

So- on the 30th of Oct. we had our little baby boy. Gosh he is amazing. I cant stop staring at him. He is so precious. I know all babies are precious, but obviously im biased. :) Today is actually travis' due date! I knew all along that he would be early. Its strange how the human body works, and amazing. I mean, my intuition told me that he would be early. I knew that he was gonna be born on the weekend of the 30th about a week before he actually came. I could just feel it. The whole process of childbirth is pretty amazing too. I mean, the human body just takes over and after a certain point, you no longer control it. It just blows my mind away how the human body works!! It just KNOWS what to do. It is so cool.

I started having contractions the night before I actually had him at around 8 pm. I have never been in labor before so I got a little nervous and we went in, however, i wasnt ready, so they sent me back home. Then, I went back again at 3:30 in the morning, and I STILL had not progressed at ALL besides the intensity of my contractions. VERY FRUSTRATING. so- they gave me ambian, which is a sleeping pill, and told me to go home and sleep.. and not to come back until my contractions were 2-3 minutes apart and/or my water broke. Well, by 10:30 or so, I was having horrible horrible horrible pains. I was screaming. But- the contractions were still 6-8 minutes apart. After about 10 minutes of screaming, I told trent I didnt care how far apart my contractions were, we had to leave right then. We live about 5 minutes from the hospital, and if we had waited another 5 minutes to leave, I would have had this little baby boy in the front seat of Trent's truck. I BARELY made it. I got there and they told me to fill out paperwork, but I didnt have time. they rushed me into the nearest room, and i pushed the little guy out in 4 minutes. I didnt have time to get an epidural! OWWY. but- other than almost delivering on the way to the hospital cuz the dumb doctors gave me sleeping pills to sleep through my entire dilation, everything went pretty good.

It has been so amazing so far. Trent has been beyond a doubt the most amazing husband on the entire face of the planet. I just wish that I could explain how incredible he has been. The first few days, I'm pretty sure he changed more diapers than me. He has read a lot and when I dont know what to do, he knows. He gives me advice, and helps me through all my questions.. if we both dont know something, he looks it up for me and researches it. He stays up all night and takes care of Travis so I can sleep...bringing him to me just to feed him, then takes him again. Then, trent sleeps in so we are both getting good rest. He is on leave for about 15 days so it might get a little more difficult in a week or two, but he still does everything he possibly can to be the best dad and husband he can. I have extra hormones, and when I cry, he is right there holding my hand the whole time, and giving me tons of encouraging words. Just helping me in every way he can. I just feel so incredibly lucky at this time of our lives. I couldnt ask for a better baby . He hardly every cries unless he needs to be fed. He is a pretty happy baby. And with trent helping too, it just makes life so great right now. :)

Trent's mom came about a week before travis was born, and she stayed till this morning. Trent took her to the bus station at 5:30 this morning. Its was great having her here too. She didnt do a whole lot with the baby, but she did a lot of little things that made it run a little smoother around here. She cooked dinner for us the night we got home from the hospital, she helped with laundry, and took care of the dogs. It was nice not having those LITTLE things to worry about. We will see how it goes now that she isnt here.

My parents are coming for thanksgiving! YAY! They will be here for a week. I am pretty excited. I havent seen them in a while, and i know they are both excited to see their little grandbaby. My family usually has thanksgiving at my parents house, and there are usually close to 20 people. I dont know who is going to host thanksgiving now. :( but- im still happy they are coming to see us. They will be staying at a hotel and we are gonna babysit their little dog nugget. I just am so glad they want to come visit. :)

All in all- we have had a great first week or so with our new little angel, and I love him so much. I will try and write a little more later. TRY. :) thanks for reading!

hey everyone

its been awhile again, so i will try and catch you up and hopefully i cant get into the routine of actually blogging daily to keep you updated. I am so bad about this!

My last blog was about Travis being a little small for how far along i am. I had the ultrasound, and they confirmed he is on the tiny side, but he is still healthy. I am healthy, and he is still growing. In fact, I have had another appointment since then. I am only 2 1/2 weeks away from having this little baby. I am pretty excited!

Trent and I went out and did extreme baby shopping. We bought everything we need from babies r us because when you register, they give you a 10% off coupon for everything still left on your registry by the time your due date is a month away. So, everything that was left, we went and got 10% off of. It was fun shopping, and i am glad we are so blessed to be able to afford all the stuff that we need. Babies are expensive! I know that most of you know that, but i really wasnt aware till we racked up the bill at the check out station.

We have already returned a couple things. We bought a bottle warmer, which we couldnt figure out and so we returned it and resolved to use the stove to warm the bottles up. We had to exchange the carseat base we bought because it didnt fit the carseat. And, i think i have the wrong breast pump accessories. I wont know for sure till i talk to a doctor about it, but we might have to get new ones, and you cant return those once they are opened.

My aunt and uncle and grandma and grandpa have been sending lots of cute clothes and stuff for travis too. He is gonna be so cute! Grandma sent us cowboy boots from new mexico! :) I am so happy that travis is at least coming to us when we have enough money and support and people that love him, to make him a hopefully happy baby.

I am doing alright. I have been feeling better mentally. I am a little less stressed out and feeling a little more normal as far as hormones go, but now, about a week or two ago, i got slammed all at once with the physical symptoms. Turns out, I have carpultunal in my hands and wrists. That is super awesome. I cant even take the top off of the toothpaste container some mornings. I feel real dumb. I spent a couple days with my aunt and uncle this past week and i had to keep asking them to open my water bottles for me. The doctor said there really isnt anything that they can do except give me a wrist brace, but even that wont really help. It is frustrating, but everyone says that after labor, it magically disappears. thats good.

Anyway, the reason i spent a few days with my aunt and uncle was because my great grandma passed away about two weeks ago. My aunt and uncle live in VA, and the funeral was in Myrtle Beach, so when they drove down for the funeral, they picked me up along the way, and i stayed with them. The funeral was nice. It was done really well, and grandma looked beautiful. She was 86 years old and had been suffering a lot before she passed, so at least now, we know she is in heaven. Everyone who talked about her said she was the nicest women they had ever met. And my grandpa took such good care of her. He really loved her. He devoted a LOT of himself to her when she was sick and it was apparent how much he cared for her. She was lucky to have him in her last days. I am sad that she passed, but happy that neither one of them have to go through her suffering anymore.

Aside from the funeral, my trip down to myrtle was nice. It was great being there in the off season. My aunt and uncle got a 3 room suite right on the beach for 149.00 a night. there were 4 tvs in the suite, a huge living room, and kitchen. Plus, it was 86-90 degrees while we were there. Not crowded. It was really nice. I think it would be a great place to vacation, as long as you go in the off season. During the season, i hear it is awful. Expensive, and so crowded you cant go anywhere.

Trent still doesnt know anything about what they are going to do with him. We are both just waiting it out. Hopefully they let us know soon cuz i would rather just get up and go now before we get comfortable here in this house. Who the heck knows. But when we know, ill be posting to let everyone else know where we will be next.

I am still going strong with my garden, in fact, i have little buds on my plants now that are hopefully going to turn into cucumbers! I am really excited about that! I am just gonna make it i think. I hope it doesnt get too cold before then. I took some pictures of one of them so you can see how much it has grown. I also took pics of the suite we stayed at in myrtle and the babies room that is coming along.

Trent and I are doing pretty good. He came with me to lamaze class and that was really good. Last night was our last class. There were only 4 classes. But last night he had to go down to the stage with all the other guys and diaper and swaddle a little plastic baby. It was really cute to watch all the guys. The instructor made them talk to the little babies. I wish I would have had my camara then because they all looked so cute. Trent has been a strong advocate for storing cord blood. He is a member of the cord blood america facebook page and makes constant posts. He also has flyers mailed to him from the company that he can distribute all over, which he did at the lamaze class. We will also be storing Travis' cord blood when he is born. If anyone wants information on it, you should ask trent or go to the cord blood america website. Trent and I both think its a really good idea. There might never be a need for it, but in the instance that something goes wrong, and you do need the cord blood, storing it, is relatively cheap for how much it will save you if that happens. Check it out if you are interested.

Trent and I are also on a pseudo mission to out breast cancer charities. About 2 years ago, I signed up to walk for breast cancer. Susan G. Komen. I had a team of 4 people and each one of us was supposed to raise 2500 dollars. We did not raise all the money. Because we didnt raise all the money, we were not allowed to participate in the walk. Not only that, but they tried to take the remaining amount of money from us. We both agreed that it was really unethicial for them to be so greedy. It makes us really not want to donate to them anymore. Trent is trying to find out their budget. We just cant imagine how that company could be so demanding when you can buy almost everything with proceeds going to breast cancer. I mean, EVERYTHING. m&ms, shoes, bread, dog collars,... etc. On top of the fact that breast cancer isnt even the leading cause of death in the united states, trent and i just feel like we can donate to other causes that we feel will make better use of the money, and be more appreciative. I dont know if that made a whole lot of sense or not, but you can read for yourself and make your own informed decision at this website http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.comments&orgid=4509 i hope this explains it better than i did. It just really makes me upset that they demand so much money and there isnt really a whole lot more done for the population with breast cancer, then say for prostate cancer, which you rarely see any benifits for. Anybody who wants to talk about this with me or trent we would love to. I am not saying i am against helping somebody with breast cancer, but if i know somebody with breast cancer, i am more likely to give money or help to them, then the charity. If i do donate to a charity, it will be a different one than that one.

Anyway, i guess thats all i have for today. I will try and post more later. Hope everyone is doing good!

Hey Everyone!
time to catch everybody up i guess.
I am officially 34 weeks today! Time is going by SO fast! I can't believe how little time I have left until I have this little baby boy. I am getting really excited! I mean, I have always been excited, but its getting pretty real now.
I had a doctor appointment today. I am down to an appointment every two weeks now instead of every month. The doc appointment was ok today I guess. I feel fine, and I can feel Travis kicking like a CHAMP. They just are a tiny bit worried about how much he is growing, so I have to make an ultrasound appointment tomorrow, just to check on him. Since he is moving around a lot, she said it's just precautionary. Everything else seems to be fine so I guess I will just wait to see what is going to happen and let you all know updates as we go. Im extremely frustrated with army medical care, especially after having seen a specialist when we were in GA. I already have a preconcieved notion about the healthcare, so it doesnt make it any easier to deal with stupid crap and the run-around that they give me. Today was taxing on my emotions because everybody seems to be so routine about everything. I mean, I just feel like- its typical army behavior to just make people feel like they are just another number. I just got shuffled through, and nobody really seemed to try any harder than they had to to help me out. First, I went to the OB, then she told me to go make an appointment with radiology for my ultrasound. When I went down to radiology, they told me that the doctor from OB hadnt put an order in for my test, so I had to wait till tomorrow to even schedule an appointment.. UNLESS, the doctor from OB called down to radiology and spoke to the doctor herself and then it would get me through faster and I wouldnt have to wait till tomorrow to make the initial appointment. So, we walked back to OB, and sat for about 10 minutes till a nurse came out and said that there was nothing they could do and they wouldnt call down because it wouldnt make a difference. Then I said- I just spoke to them and they said if My doctor called down, that they could bypass that- wait till the next day to make an appointment-rule. (apparently they do this to review your file, but the receptionist told me if the doc called herself, that they wouldnt need to review it and they could waive that rule). So, the nurse went back to talk to the doc, and came back and said that the doc called down, and that she had gotten them to revoke that order to make me wait till tomorrow. So, we walked back down to radiology, and and even though she called down, i still have to wait till tomorrow to make the stupid appointment. RAWR. After that we had to go to the lab so I could get another glucose test taken, because for some reason those results weren't in my file when it got transferred from Savannah. When we got to the lab, the receptionist was rude and it was passed the time to do glucose tests for the day anyway, so i have to go back tomorrow. When we tried to ask him a question, i guess he just didnt understand us or thought we were dumb and dont know how the system works. (thats how they all act. They all act sort of like nobody knows anything except them). So, nothing got accomplished today except me having to worry about little travis and getting this growth thing taken care of. I just wish that they would have a little more empathy and treat people like actual patients instead of the next number. But- at least he is almost here now so I dont have much more of this to go.... haha, until I switch to a pediatrician. :) Anyway, like I said, I will keep you updated.
Trent still doesnt know what is going to happen now that he isnt in the course anymore. He is trying to put a warrent packet in. If that goes through, then there is a chance that we will be moving again down to sweet home alabama. If he doesnt get the packet approved or something else happens, then there is a good chance we will stay here for awhile. Im sort of sick of moving, but I guess whatever the army tells us, is where we will go. I will also keep you updated on that as well.
Other than the doc appointments, not a whole lot is new with us. We havent been out a whole lot and so Im still waiting to meet some people. I got invited to a mary kay party tomorrow evening, by a lady we just happend upon at red lobster the other night. I am gonna go just to get out, but i dont think im gonna make anything of it. I know that at these little parties a lot of times u get sucked into being a sales rep or something.... Ha, I just dont know if that is for me or not. I have absolutely NO fashion sense whatsoever, and I think you have to know a little about fashion and makeup and stuff to sell mary kay products. Plus, I just dont know how good I would be at selling stuff to other people. I hate when people try to be pushy on me like that, so I dont really want to be on the pushing side. I will probably buy something tomorrow, just to say I did, but on top of the reasons I already listed for not really wanting to sell mary kay, they meet on tuesday nights, and that is my favorite night with trent because the BIGGEST LOSER comes on tv! If i have to miss the Biggest Loser every week, I will be really sad! I missed the premere because we didnt have cable, but not THIS WEEK! cable comes TOMORROW! just in time for the next episode of BL, but i dont know if Ill be home. :(
My garden is doing pretty good. Im a little nervous because its supposed to get cold the next week or two and it has rained nonstop for two days now. We have gotten 12 inches of rain in the last 2 days! I am worried that if they dont flood out, that they will freeze. I asked trent if we could put milk cartons around them, but he said it might still be too cold. I knew this going into planting my garden that it might have been too late in the season, so I guess if they dont grow, I will know for next year. If they dont make it, I might try to get some winter plants. But for now, they are growing pretty nice and tall. :)
Anyway, I guess thats all for now. I will let you know what happens with everything next time.

banana pancakes

i made banana pancakes from scratch tonight! they were really good. i went onto allrecipes.com and just picked out a regular banana recipe and added a banana cuz i think ours are going bad. They turned out really good. I cant wait to have the leftovers for breakfast tomorrow morning! that might be a lame thing to blog about, but i dont care because they were UH-MAZE-ING!

I had a dentist appointment this morning. I was really excited because it has been awhile since i have had my teeth cleaned. I got about 5 minutes into my cleaning and i got really faint and lightheaded. I think little travis is sitting on my vena cava or something.. i nearly blacked out. They took my BP and it was low. 96/51. So, I rescheduled my appointment for after travis is born. I just cant lay back flat on my back right now. Travis doesnt like it... soooo dec. 17th is the next time I go. I also went to the doctor after the dentist, just to make sure that it was just the way i was laying on the chair that made me lightheaded and nothing else. I got hooked up to two monitors. one for travis' heartbeat, and one to see if im having contractions. I stayed hooked up for about an hour. Everything turned out absolutely fine. Everything looks perfect they said, and I am one week closer to having him safe and sound here OUTSIDE of my belly.

Trent and I went baby shopping yesterday, but we didnt get anything except a pillow for support when travis is born. The discount at babies r us is only good about two weeks out and after the due date. So, we are waiting to get stuff cuz we want the 15% discount. We still need a carseat, and a stroller, and a changing table.... oh and lots of other stuff that i really want....but we probably dont NEED... but i am so excited everytime we go into a store i just want EVERYTHING!!! :)

The plants in my garden (whats left of them) are still growing. I cant wait till we get some veggies off of them.

Anyway, I think i am off to take a shower and try really hard to beat my husband at phase ten.
I actually beat him last night, but he wasnt paying any attention, because we were into the movie 'prince of persia'.... (pretty good movie). BUT- im still counting it as a win even if he doesnt...... ;)
Night everybody!

weekend in ga

well it has been a really busy weekend. My friends threw me a baby shower on Saturday In Ga. Its about a 4 hour drive from here to there so it isnt too bad. I dont like the drive, but its close enough that I can see friends of mine if i want to. Although- I am not making the trip anymore until after baby travis is born, because my hands and feet swelled up a LOT on this trip. Thats the first time that has happened to me yet, and it really freaked me out, and when you have to stop every hour or so to pee, it makes the trip even longer... sooo, after travis is born Ill make my way back down again.
The shower was really really amazing. Erin (who is 2 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy) and Joyce put the shower together and it just really was so great. I had about 7 people show up I think and I got a lot of really nice stuff. I got a TON of clothes for Travis. He has so many clothes now I dont think we are gonna have to get anything new till he is almost a year old! And all the clothes are SO CUTE! SOOO SOOO CUTE!! You will definitely be seeing him when i change him every hour on the hour or so because I want him to wear EVERYTHING but I know he is gonna grow so fast. One of my favorite outfits, my aunt got me, is really tiny. I want it to be his coming home outfit, but Im not even sure if he will fit into it.maybe ill take a pic of that one and put it on here. I hope he comes out small and tiny. He is going to be so adorable! :)
anyway, i also got some pajamas for me, which are SUPER comfortable and they are great. I love them. We got a bath toy holder for travis shaped like a frog, and some books, and some baby blankets, and a few tiny little toys, and joyce made me a diaper cake! We got a lot of really good stuff. I am so excited for this little tike to come!
I got to spend the day with kimberly while I was back in GA. she just had a boy almost 3 months ago, and that little guy (Caleb) is the happiest little baby I have ever met in my entire life! He is super cute! I got to help take care of him and she gave me a lot of good advice. She does a really good job taking care of him. Her husband Steven works in Charleston SC and so he is only home a couple nights a week. She did the whole newborn thing without him there all the time. I am glad I got to see what its like dealing with a newborn cuz I was nervous! Hopefully little baby Travis will be just as happy and wonderful as Caleb.
The night before I left, (wednesday) Trent came home. He got medically dropped from the course because of his two back surgeries. They found out and were confused as to how he even got in the course in the first place. SOOOOOOO- now we have a NEW adventure to deal with because who knows where we are going or what we are doing now. Im a little worried, because Travis is gonna be here in about 6 weeks and it takes the army just about that long to cut new orders to a new location. I dont wanna move again!!!!!!
We just put the room border up in travis's room and today when trent gets home from work we are going SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything that we didnt get off the baby registry list is now discounted price, and so we are gonna go get the rest of the big stuff we need, and maybe a couple little things! I am so excited! Its gonna be FUN. Shopping for the baby has been my favorite part of being preggo so far. We will see how it goes.
On a sadder note, the doggies trampled my garden while i was gone this weekend. :( Im REALLY sad... but, there are a few good guys left still going strong. It doesnt look as pretty anymore, but hopefully in a week or so, it will look better. I lost about 8 of my plants I think. There are still a few of each left, so at least that's good. I hope I can still get some beans and some cucumbers off of them tho.. I am really sad, but Trent and I had a really good talk last night and I am trying to remember that there are more important things in life, and its just a garden... I am trying really really hard not to sweat the small stuff anymore. I am just getting so stressed out about everything lately, and I hate being so easily stressed out now. I think that might also help my mood. Its good to be happy!
Anyway, trent just got home, and I feel like playing rock band! I will catch u tomorrow!

well-
today was a better day I think. I made a decision today that I would not turn on the t.v. at all.....
I had a meeting with my doctor yesterday, and she said I was showing a few signs of early depression. She recommended I see a counselor....
I started thinking, she is probably right on the money. I have been sitting here in north carolina, without my husband, or really anybody to talk to, with no place to really go, no money to spend, and two dogs that drive me crazy. On top of that, I have been sitting on the couch doing NOTHING except watching tv.
So- today, I decided to keep the tv off all day and find other constructive things to do. And I feel a LOT better.
I started with the guest room, finishing up what needed to be done in there. It was a disaster so that kept me busy for awhile. I washed the sheets and put them on the guest bed, and put my glass china cabinet together with all our knick knacks in it... So that leaves only a handful of things to do in the house before we are completely unpacked and settled. One step at a time i guess. I read some of my book 'i dont have enough faith to be an atheist'. I got the book from a church friend of ours in savannah- Steven. He and his wife kimberly hosted a small group that we went to for bible study. They are both really awesome people, and I was almost ashamed to admit to kimberly that I had to turn my dvd 'friends' off because i have been watching it so much that i MIGHT be getting all 'friends' out....
anyway, the book is really good. Its a bit on the higher reading level, so it takes me a little longer to read because sometimes I have to read a paragraph 3 or 4 times to totally grasp the concepts. but, on my journey to become closer to my lord and savior, the book is really helping. I would recommend it to anyone searching for answers about God. Feel free to do your own research, but you gotta start somewhere, and this book gives lots of facts and details and very good arguments for God.
It feels nice to get into something intellectual...yet another good reason i kept the tv off today.
Earlier in the day, I gave our lab a bath and tried to brush some of the hair out of her coat. I think i brushed her for about a half hour before her bath, then brushed her for about 10 minutes in the bath, then dried her off and brushed her again, and she is still shedding EVERYWHERE. I have been vacuuming every other day or so, and our vacuum doesnt have a bag it has a container for the dirt, and so i can see all the hair I pick up... and even vacuuming every other day or so, the canister is usually always full by the time Im done.... and I know they say brushing helps, but really, I think brushing is just making her shed more. Like- when you pick out a grey hair and 10 grow in its place.... like that, except 1000 grow in one hair's place on my dog.....
Anyway, as far as the depression thing goes, Its nothing serious.. my doc just wanted me to get checked out before the baby is born so that it doesnt turn into post partum despression.. because that is the dangerous kind. And, Im really thinking it's just because im brand new to this area and need to meet some people. Once I can talk to actual people on a regular basis, I am sure I will be fine and dandy. I did make my first appointment with a counselor though, and she let me talk the WHOLE hour, and when I got done, I felt like a HUGE weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Like I said, I think it was just being able to have a conversation with a human being other than the cashier at the gas station.
Plus, I know that my hormones are playing a part in my mood. Let me tell you, out of all the rollercoasters I have ever been on, this one sucks the worst. At least on a real rollercoaster you can see the downhills coming and you can hold your breath or prepare yourself... This emotional ride Im on, leaves no room for anticipation. Its up and down on a dime and you cant see it coming! If you have been preggo you understand, if you have never been preggo, ur lucky! :P
On a couple lighter notes tho,
first, I have ELEVEN sprouts!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so friggin proud of myself! Only the beans so far have poked out, but they are growing really fast and they are already getting BIG! I am so happy!!! This garden was such a great idea. (shout out to sarah rice for the idea ;) ).. thats another thing i did today, was get out in the sun and tend to my little seedlings. and it just feels so great to see what i accomplished so far, and be out in the sun and nice weather. I cant wait till I can get a bean off one of these little guys!!
Also- I leave tomorrow for GA for the weekend. I am pretty happy about making the trip too. My baby shower is on Saturday, and Im just really happy that I have such awesome friends who want to do this for me. I feel really lucky.
All in all- today was the best day I think I have had since trent left. I felt really good and I can only hope that it stays this way.
Night everyone!

Today has been such a good day. I had my 32 week doctor appointment, and everything with baby Travis is looking good. He is growing at the appropriate rate, and his heartbeat is strong and healthy. I am doing alright. He is kicking like crazy, but I am so thankful because that lets me know he is still doing good. Im still working on the babies room, but as soon as I get it set up, Ill put up some pictures of the finished masterpiece! I am getting really excited. I cant believe I am already 8 months. Time really flew by. It seems like I just found out a month or so ago. I have always wanted to be a mom and in about a month or so Im gonna be one! CRAZY!!! :D

After my doc appointment, I went outside, and guess what was in my garden???? A SPROUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took a picture, and then watered the garden. I figured I would attach the pics here later on this afternoon. Well, I went back outside about a half hour ago, and there are actually FIVE SPROUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIVE!!!! hahahahaha. AWESOME!

For some reason my camara isnt working.. (which sucks really really bad because I just bought it and I have only used it a handful of times......) so I took a pic this morning, and I took a pic when I went back out this afternoon with my iphone. So, you cant really see the 5 sprouts, because they are little and my iphone isnt that good at taking pics... but you can see how much the one sprout grew from this morning till this afternoon, plus in the second pic you can see the second little sprout that came up next to the first one. They are so cute! :) I am really surprised they came up so fast. The package says 7-10 days... and its only been like 4 days.. I must be a naturally good gardener I just never knew... :P

Anyway, for the rest of the day, it was so nice outside, that I opened up the windows in the house and got a lot more organizing done. I am almost done with the whole house now, plus, I got ALL the laundry done today.. Not just the clothes.. I got the blankets and sheets and towels done too. I am pretty proud of myself. Now, the only room really left to get finished is the guest room. Travis' room is almost almost almost done... just a few odds and ends here and there.

Im still waiting for Trent to get home... This week went by surprisingly fast, so hopefully the next week will too.

Anyway, the whole main point of this blog is just really to show off my new little sprouts to the world! YAY!<~~~ First sprout!<~~~ later.. and up toward the top of the pic you can kinda see the other little guy poking up!
