Updates, Pictures from this weekend, and People magazine shoot!

So as of today 8 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Man morning sickness sucks! I'm not feeling like myself at all. I really hope it goes away soon, I'm getting very very tired of it.

This week I've been working on getting Lilian's room cleaned up and organized. It's been a big ordeal because she has a ton of stuff for a 16 month old!





Saturday Kyle took Lilian fishing while I was at the People Magazine shoot. They had lots of fun and Lilian did very well in the woods. They will definitely be going more often. Meanwhile I was getting my hair done and makeup done by the ladies at Hair Etc located in Harvey. They were hired by People to come to the photo shoot and do our "looks." They did a great job and everyone looked fabulous.

Me getting lovely curlers put in my hair.

Sarah and I's finished looks with Charles Moses.

Courtney got the baby to sleep . Awww.

So the magazine won't hit stands by mother's day. But they said probably the issue after mother's day! yay!

I may be a little late.

So I'm a little late, but this morning sickness has been killing me. On Saturday morning, my oldest and closest friend, Terra left Marquette to transfer schools to Full Sail University in Florida. I'm really happy for her, she's going to be great. But it's hard having her leave. Now for some pictures of her last days here and some Lilian cuteness.

Terra and I in her kitchen making food. Well she made food.

And last but certainly not least, Lilian watches a you tube video about puppies so mom can hang her laundry on the line.

Easter Weekend

Before we get to the pictures, let me say I got my diaper sprayer and my snappi's and they are GREAT!!! Especially the diaper sprayer, I don't want to live without it ever again! No more unnesscary soaking my diapers or dipping them in the toilet because that sprayer is HIGH POWERED and it really takes care of the mess!!

Next, check out Fluff friday's and win free diapers!




Now, check out EVERY PICTURE for a special announcement!



Here is a ton of pictures from this weekend!

Last but not least......




YUP I'm six weeks pregnant!! I'm due December 8th, 2009!

Weekend Update

Any reason for cute pictures of Lilian is a good one in my book.


Kyle and I have both been very busy doing school work. He's been working on his books for his apprenticeship and is happy to say there is only one book left before he is done with them for five months! I have less than one month to go till this semester ends! I've been signing up for classes too and will be taking EN111 and Psychology the first summer session (which lasts up untill the end of June) and will be taking Chemistry 107 and EN211D on Saturday mornings unless I can get into a web course, but at the moment they are all full. I am hoping someone drops the course and I can get in!


Lilian also played with her friend Jack this week and we got some adorable pictures of the two. Lilian was pushing Jack around on the riding toy and they were being especially kind to one another.

Aren't they an adorable pair? As long as Lilian isn't biting Jack....lol.


Saturday morning Kyle, Lilian and I went to D and J's in Skandia to look at wood stoves. We've been tired of paying Nine-Hundred dollars every few months to heat our house. We are looking to get a nice wood stove to supplement heat so that we can at least prevent one fill of our propane tank a year. It's also good in case Amerigas accidentally forgets to fill our tank again. grr..... Any way....at D and J we found that all their prices were just too high for us, so we are back to square one. We then had to go into town to buy Lilian a new car seat because she's two and a half pounds away from being ready for the next seat up.

On the way out of Skandia we saw that the old bar on the highway had changed names and is selling questionable food items. We had to stop and take a picture of the sign. See if you see what we see.....*hint first line plus the first word of the second line....TERRIBLE! ;)


My brother Jake and his lovely girlfriend Mandy came over Sunday morning for breakfast and brought some really great Michigan bacon. We made pancakes and eggs too. I have had a cold so I wasn't the most pleasant person to be around with all my sniffles, but they didn't seem to mind too much.

We all went to my parents Sunday night so that I could take a sauna and hopefully cleanse out that cold....it worked a little but not enough as I am still sick!! Hopefully I get better soon.


Alright one more picture of Lilian and then we are going to go play. Lilian is trying to take her shirt off in this picture. She was getting tired and ready for nap time when Jake and Mandy were over and got stuck in her shirt.

Also I should say Lilian has learned another word (she is so smart I swear she already knows so many!) She can now say "Apple." Clear as a bell!!


Alright I love you all!! Have a great day!

It has been quite an epic weekend.

Okay maybe not epic, but there were a ton of great photo opportunities that I just had to share with you!


This was at my mom's house where my mother put a hair tie in Lilian's hair for one of the first times. It took her quite some time to get it in there, she had to chase Lilian around the kitchen to actually get it in her hair! Sadly it only lasted for about two hours.


This is Sarah nursing baby Charles Moses in her Moby Wrap. It's sort of a long story, but after his mother passed away from birth complications, members of our little breastfeeding community have been taking turns nursing him so he can get the breast milk he deserves!



This is me nursing Charles and Lilian giving him kisses. I think she just wanted to smack him in the head, but it certainly appears like she is trying to kiss him here!


This is Robbie, Charles' dad. Aw so adorable.


Here is Jack, Sarah's son and Julia, Robbie's daughter.


Hope you enjoyed the pictures!! Stay Warm!

PS:

Snow Day!

Lilian and I (Sally) had a busy morning planned. Lilian was planning to go visit her friends Jack and Liam at my friend Sarah's today and play while I had class, but I was pleased for myself to find that it is a SNOW DAY today! I'm sure Lilian is not as happy as I am that it is a snow day because she will not get to go and play. Yesterday Sarah watched her while I had a doctors appointment and she was having such a great time she barely noticed me coming and going. She does go over there at least two or three times a week so I think missing one day will be okay. Lilian and Jack are the same age, Jack being a few weeks older and Liam is 3 years old. Sarah and I always saw Liam and Lilian are kindred spirits since they were both considered "high maintenance" babies. They certainly get along well and Liam even calls Lilian "Lian." Lilian and Jack have fun too but usually end up fighting over a toy and Lilian ends up biting Jack! Even with the biting, they always have lots of fun whether they are out and about or playing at home!

Today one of my mother's sisters is coming up to visit from Missouri. Marilyn is flying in and is supposed to arrive around Two O'clock today. I am soooo excited, she lived in the Upper Peninsula for a while and I have grown very close to her over the years! I really hope that even with the weather she can make it in safe and sound. I am very excited to see her because the last time we saw each other I was only eight weeks pregnant with Lilian. She has never even met the little spit fire yet! Well I'm off now to change a diaper and maybe get Lilian down for a morning nap.

Stay warm and stay safe!


Sally
