So far baby girl is learning to walk on her! So blessed she is too scared to walk on her won yet, because I am not ready to chase after her!!! SHE GROWING TO FAST!!!! As well as the other one, Kiwi-seed, that little stinker is growing to fast as well! Making me look fat! *sigh* That is my sad reality. I am one of those women who don't look pregnant until they are at least 6-7 months pregnant and wear well fitted shirts and jeans the make sure that people can see that round baby bump. And for those poor women like me, you also know we tend to stick our bellies out a little farther in hopes that make them look rounder or something, because we want people to know this is baby growing belly! Heaven forbid you get the comment, "Oh your pregnant?" just smile and nod and know you get to hold a cute tiny baby a few months down the road and they get too, because it your baby!BWAHAHAHA!
Every mama goes through struggles through pregnancy. From what i am told, each pregnancy will have its few similarities, but most will be very different from child to child. One thing i regret from my daughter's pregnancy was not keeping up a work-out routine or at least a walk around the neighbor daily stroll.
Now, I am not much of an athlete and far from a work-out buff, but I still keep up a walk day, a few mile job every few days. in no way am I endorsing you go all out and be like those celebrities who are still a size 2 even when they are ready to pop! I am just saying, keep some sort of activity up that involves getting your body moving. I didn't do this with my daughter and sorely regretted it, because even those days when I had lots of energy I crawled back into my bed said, "I'm pregnant." excuse and slept for a few more hours. With kiwi-seed, I am not much of athlete here, so in no way am I a prime example, but just a few days job here and there and also taking up prenatal yoga classes. I already fell more energy. I still have those days , I dont want to crawl out of bed, but after a small morning stroll, I feel tons better and I can also see my body welll....It not a gorgeous-no stretch mark-not a little flab- still fit . But! The flab is a little firmer, my legs are lot toner, and i dont see the stretch coming so fast as they did last time. And for me my cravings are not as bad. :) Anyways not much here today! more to come soon. :)
Until another day! Toodles!

Blue Baby blanket!!!
So its summer. Garden and crafting time! Time to pack away those dusty school books and break out the leisure reading and the crafts! Since I have a baby due December, I started back up crocheting. Since I dont know the gender yet and i am impatient to wait and find out i decided everything is going to be done bright turquoises blue!
Even my crochet is bright turquoises blue!
I am using an H hook Like picture below.
And by the up closeness of the picture you can see I am also using two different of yarn. I thought it would be really cute to have different soft stripes of yarn. I am just doing single crochets around in rectangle, nothing too special. I really wanted to focus more on the soft yarns rather than pretty pattern. The blanket won't be too big. Just a little baby blanket. No specific length or size, just big enough to lay over little Kiwiseed when he or she pops out!
hope you enjoy it. Start crafting soon. July is almost here! nothing worse then wantning to start crafting and turn around you have to start school!!!!
until another day!

Nothing like the freebies
is just something about getting freebies. From the free samples at the grocery store on shopping day or scoring a free coupon for a full size product! And especially as prego sicko mommi here, getting and finding near freebies is awesome. Today through my email, I was in informed I had been selected to receive the free Voxbox from the website Influenster. Now for those who don't know what Influenster is, it's an online survey and review company for people to review and try out products. We talking from chewing gum to Clorox dish soap to hair dye to seeds to plant in the garden. Every few months Influenster comes out with a box which directed towards some group, like this month this Voxbox,it's called, is geared towards moms' and their households. It's totally free to sign up and the box is free as well. Only catch is you sometimes won't get a box because your weren't qualified for the group they wanted their produced tried out for.
But for free box full of goodies now and then is great. You try out sample to full size products which in return you give your reviews. They want totally honest reviews. If you don't like a product then you don't have say you do.
So I am getting a free box next week! Yippie! Have no idea what to really expect but super exited to try.
Also a brief update! We are in the process of looking for a new place to live! Yippie! No more tiny studio apartment! It was such a blessing when we first got the place, and it still is. It's a roof over our head and we have great neighbors and a landlord, but ....space has kinda gotten a little cramped when the little one moved inane with another little one on the way we need a little more space.
I am now ten weeks along. Still don't see much other than I look fat! Lol! But the sleepier have set in along with the munches. I also have few crafts and recipe to post. Along with my adventure in making cheese!
Until another post!

The wonderful bathroom floor!
So I am late again to post and once again, without a picture! But hey today I do have a long post! As you all know from my last post I am pregnant! Today is 9 weeks and counting! Baby due around Christmas, but that could change. Only God knows when this baby is coming.
Anyways, speaking of pregnancy, this month June, shall be my month to post something about babies, tips excuses, help advise, or just a good story for you all to chuckle at me behind my back.
Like most mother's in your first trimester, you get the dreaded morning sickness. Which whoever named it "morning sickness" needs to be shot, because my prego belly doesn't seems to agree with this name when I am hugging the toilet at 3 in the afternoon and then again around 8 at my best friend's parent's house!!!
Anywhoalls, like my last pregnancy with my daughter, the bathroom became the favorite room in the house! That toilet I always kept spotless for whenever I had to dash across the apartment to spill my guts. And since after a sick session, the floor became my comfort. Ah! Cool tile floor! There is nothing like it after a spell of the stupidly named "morning sickness.
The warm shower afterwards! Then snuggling in a big fluffy towel. Now with a little one with me, I can't keep everything up, so I just take her with me. She sits laughing at mommy vomit then nap on the bathroom floor before she gets her 2-3 shower of the day with mommy! (She gets cleaned alot!)
So when someone asked me what is the first thing you should do when you get pregnant, I said a few usual things. Call your doctor, tell your husband, celebrate, etc, but then go clean your bathroom and set it up, because it will be your little haven for the next 1-4 months, depending on how long the idiot named "morning sickness" lasts.
For me, I went out and bought a nice bathroom rug to keep the floor comfy when I was napping there and after I step out of the shower and I also started keeping up my towels more often. I also started rolling them up instead of folding them, because it was faster to fold laundry that way and a rolled up towel makes a great head rest when laying on the bathroom floor! If you don't have fluffy warm towels, now would be a good time to pick up at least one or two for yourself. A word of caution: Keep hidden somewhere safe, husbands think they can use you hoard of fluffy warm towels!!! I know the heathens!But just so everyone is safe, hide your towels!
And then always keep you bathroom clean. Nothing is worse than already being sick and then get sick again, because your bathroom looked like garbage truck dumped its load in there, before a hobo settled in it. (LOL!)
Personally for me, I just keep bleach around in there for quick cleans when I can and once week do a deep clean.
Then depending on who you are, you can keep nice scents in there. I love candles, but pregnant, I hate smell,accept for the fresh scent of outside, so I usually open the window during the day to keep fresh air flowing in.
Anywhoalls, I will post some pictures next post hopefully!
Enjoy the day!
Until another post!
