His sick!

Sadly now his sick! That's the way it goes frame one person in the house to the next I'm just hoping to get him feeling better sooner then I was. He like most men I think don't do well with being sick, even thought his been sick a lot the down time is still hard for him. The good thing is that his off work for a few days so he can hopefully do nothing and get better. The other good thing is that his very open to things like teas and other natural methods of healing to get better so he'll have his teas and that should help. Guess it's ok that as always we didn't have anything planed for the New Year's Eve, we just stay home becuase there are way to many crazy unsafe people out,and in truth it's not as fun I find for myself as it was when I was younger. That maybe becuase I have done the New Year's Eve partying thing and so I no longer feel this need to. It's just a date that we say is the start of the "New Year" but in truth if there are changes you want to do in life you can pick any day to do them and start that New Year for your self.

Pregnancy and a cold at the holidays

I had meet to post more throughout my pregnancy I just kind of gotten crazy busy!  So the up date I'm now 27 weeks ago, and things are over all going great! My mother has moved in with us and started at a new job that she is enjoying I have gone back to work very part time as well. It's nice to be back out a few days a week. But I'm still working on getting things put together so that once the little is here hopefully I'll be able to work from home, yes I like the idea of working somewhere very part time to pick me out in he world but, at the same time I want to be at home with my little one. But  reality is that more income does help. So  in between work and making things for my own little one and the holiday crazy of family I town I have been working on stock for shop.
Oh the holidays, they were great my husbands parents came in to town, so we have a full family  Christmas with them and my mother all here. So we took this time to reveal to them the name that we've chosen we did find out several weeks ago that we will be having a little girl. We just all in stockings from their granddaughter to be with her name in it. Reveal to them the name that we've chosen we did find out several weeks ago that we will be having a little girl. We just all in stockings from their granddaughter to be with her name in it. We knew that they would be happy to find out the name after all my mother in law has been asking every day for weeks what name we have picked. But we had no idea just how happy they would be with the cards, they found it to be the sweetes thing and they were just over joyed and that really made the day the best. But sadly I came down wth a bad cold on Christmas Day, now for people that done know there isn't much you can take for a cold with your  pregnant, but you can take only halfway knocks out sometimes. In many ways I'm OK with this I try to do more natural remedies anyway a lot of echinacea tea and lozenges and rest.  Because after all sometimes things just have to run their natural course, however my husband worries and doesn't feel this way so day four of me being sick he starts in on I have to go to the doctor sure enough I get up today and I'm doing so much better you don't always have to run to the doctor pregnant or not.  Yes there are times when you do and yes being more cautious when you're pregnant is important however for myself I have an extremely low risk pregnancy and I know there's nothing more they can give me steam out your head and rest. The major downside about being sick over the holidays with family in town is it does take some of the fun away for everyone else, as well as time away from working on things I desperately need to get done.  I have gotten one sheet for our bassinet made along with the pattern how to information photos and I'll coming shortly still have many diapers to make.  No I know there are many companies that you can buy cough diapers from as well as disposables, however I'm not choosing to use disposable diapers for a few reasons the detrimental to the environment as well as they're extremely expensive, Then there is  The fact that my husband and I both have extremely sensitive skin so the likelihood of our little one having sensitive skin is very high, so why not avoid chemicals as much as possible.  I did look into several of the companies that make cloth diapers that you can purchase and that's great if that's the route you want to do however I wasn't overly thrilled with what they were offering, so I decided to kind of do my own may as well put that education of mine to use,  information to Torio's on how I'm doing mine will be available shortly as well.
