Stalking the mail lady

Yeah I am stalking the mail lady.  Why?   have some new cloth diapers coming (yes we cloth diaper Isabel...and I love it...its a breeze and its good for the enviroment...so yes I am a breast feeding, clothe diapering momma...lol...but I still adore Steak so I am not all crunchy momma yet...lmbo)

Anyway I went out to my car and I saw her in the neighborhood...the mail lady...now I have my door open...just waiting on a package...and it may not come today, but I'm stalking her anyway.  I guess I could look up my deliver info from the website I ordered fom and see when it is...if its being delivered today...but where's the fun?  I mean we used to stalk boys(light use of the term here...ya know what I mean...I mean how many times did we drve by goodys to see if Josh the hottie fireman was working or not?  )

SO now I have evolved and moved on to stalking the little old mail lady :)

Update and thanks (not for those with a weak stomach)

Well I thougt I'd let everyone know (in case you haven't noticed) I have some new pics of the kids in my photos.

As for me...We went in for another ultrasound on the 30th.  There still was no heartbeat.  So later that afternoon we had a d & c.   Instead of general anesthia I opted for a spinal with sedation.  It wasn't too bad.  I don't remember anything after getting the spinal.  It took forever for me to get released though.  I was walking fine, ut apparently I had to pee before I could get released...and my lady bits were still numb so I couldnt pee...lo

The nextday (Halloween) I was feeling fine...no cramps etc...percocet was great...Mike took the kids trick or treating.  I stayed at home and handed out candy. 

The next dayMike was supposed to have 24 hour duty...meaning he wouldn't be home until the next morning.  Well around 11am I started having mild cramps...then around 3-4pm they were mind blowing...even worse than the contractions with Andrew.  At5pm I called Mike and said he might have to come home.  I went to the bathroom and 8-9 golfball sized clots came out as well as a rush of blood.  I called Mike and told him to get hom ASAP that we had to go to the er.  I called my neighbor ...I asked him is his wife was home, he said not for another 15 minutes.  I asked him if he could watch the kids untl she got home and he told me no, he had boards tomorrow.  What an ass, I am freaking bleeding everywhere and he won't watch the kids until his wife gets home.  I hope he never call us during an emergency...cause we won't be home.  So I ask him for his nighbors number b/c I can't find it.  He of course doesn't know it, but offers to go next door and have her to call me.  how sweet right...well she comes over and gets the kids and Mike takes me to the ER...where we wait for 6 hours before seeing the dr.  They give me several shots to stop the bleeding and shrink my uterus...and send me home with instructions to do nothing the next few days....which I do nothing the next few days. 

I had another appt on Monday...everything looks fine...its all over with.  

I do want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.   

No heartbeat

We didn't find a heatbeat today at the ultrasound.  We go back next we make sure, but the dr is pretty sure we miscarried b/c the baby was measuring 9 weeks and there should have been a heartbeat.

More paintings

Ok, I have been to 3 more classes.  I really like it, even if I am not good at it it gives me a way to take a time out from the day to day SAHM life.

This one I don't really like, I was really excited b/c it was supposed to be a seascape, but the teacher switched on us, I guess its ok.

This is the seascape that I was excited about doing...I did it the following week

This one is so far my favorite....I can't wait till christmas so I can hang it in my living room!

We went to National Night Out at the riverpark and got a bunch of free stuff...Andrew got to ride the pony






Then on Friday Isabel turned 1 we had a party for her on Sunday....

The joy of painting happy little trees

I have been looking for a new hobby to get me out of the house more.  So the other day I decided to try a Bob Ross class at Michael's.  It cost me a small fortune to buy all the supplies, but I will be able to use the brushes and paints for more than the one class.  So I was off Thursday night for almost 4 hours to paint my little happy trees.

This is my painting......

..

It is a bit shiny b/c it takes 3 weeks to dry. But I had a great time and I am going back for another class in 2 weeks and am going to do a christmas painting on a saturday.

Seashells by the seashore

Sunday was Father's Day.   We rented a seashell by the seashore...lol... but our day didn't start out so grand.  I had planned on packing up our stuff the night before, but uhm I got busy doing something else  and since the kids have been waking up at around 7 I thought well I'll do it in the morning...well for some strange reason they decided to sleep past 8am.  This threw a wrench in our plans....so we get the kids dressed and haphazardly pack stuff for the beach.  We get into town and quickly realize why we usually get up early for "special" day breakfasts.  Cracker Barrel had people lined up outside, so we drove to IHOP.  The wait was about 20 minutes.  So we stuck around.  We finally got a table with a rude and incompetent waitress.  So at breakfast DH and I are talking about stuff we should have put in the car and we realized we forgot some things at the house.  Instead of making the trek back we just went to KMART and bought a blanket and some chairs. 

So we get to the beach and suprisingly it isn't very full at all.

Andrew wanted to stay in the water the whole time...Isabel wanted nothing to do with the waves...she instead preferred to dine on fine North Carolina Sand. 

I have some pics posted here

Once we were tired of being beachy we went to the exchange to get some ice cream ( my only way of stopping Andrew from crying when we told him we had to leave)  We ended up buying a new couch and rug.  They will be delivered soon.  Lucky for us the exchange on base has a deal with the CDC that for every 50 you spend at the exchange you get a coupon for 1 free night of childcare on a Sat at the CDC.  They let us use the purchase of the couch/loveseat and so we now have 13 free nights of childcare (we have to use 2 coupons since we have 2 kids...lol...
