That's my June-years resolution. To blog more. Must increase my social networking skills now that I'm opening an online shop! (Etsy, anyone?)
For those interested in visiting my new shop, I don't have anything up on there yet, but you can find me at: The Salted Cherry. Hehe!!
I will be selling various knit items, specifically baby/maternity stuff, and hopefully I will be learning how to sew soon (I've been looking at used sewing machines on craigslist, might be able to snag a decent one for only $40 or so if I play my cards right) and then I can also sell cloth diapers, quilts, activity mats, etc. So, doing very well craft-wise.
The pregnancy is also progressing well. Biologically, my uterus is now up to my belly button (amazing considering it took 11 weeks to emerge from behind my pubic bone. That seems like a lot of growth for 8 weeks!!) and my belly is starting to get hard. I find out in a week if this is a girl baby or a boy baby, so looking forward to that!
Still getting morning sickness, but not nearly as severe as it used to be, mainly just first thing after I get up. I'm also having some major poo problems. >.<!! But at least I have the rest of the baby's life to remind him/her how hard this pregnancy was on me and that s/he should appreciate me lots and lots. Woohoo!
Well, I just wanted to start instilling some self-discipline and write, but I don't have an awful lot more to say. I will post pics next blog of some of my hand-knit items and we'll see how the reaction is. Loads of loves to all!

Long time no see....
Sorry for the delay in posting, I've been busy throwing my guts up.
:/
No joke.
It was great, I get these weekly pregnancy updates and three days ago it read: "Remember when you were so queasy you could barely stomach ginger ale and a cracker?" I had thrown up just a few minutes before reading it. Ugn.
So, the morning sickness seems to not want to go away, but the rest of the pregnancy is progressing as predicted. I'm starting to feel pain in my hips, clogged nose at night ("pregnancy rhinitis"), can't poop (don't even get me started) and (on a happier note) I've been feeling a LOT of movement. Of course, I first felt movement at twelve weeks but I didn't really want to tell anyone for fear of ridicule or being told that I'm making it up, but the movements have continued and just gotten stronger, so I know for a fact that's what it was.
Also, my kiddies are in town! My beautiful step-monsters.
We've been having oodles and oodles of fun together, from art projects:
Emma (5) and I, mixing "cement" for a stone she will be painting in a few days.
Noah (3, bottom), Emma and Mama playing with MoonSand!
To playing outside:
And even trying new things:
And making new friends!
So, all is well on the homestead. My first Mother's Day was a long and trying day, but I'm so glad that I got to spend it hanging out with my favorite little kids. And on the 9th? Daddy let me sleep in until almost noon. Ahhhh. I have never craved sleep quite as bad as I do pregnant with a 3 & 5 year old running around. Not even during midterms or anything.
Also: June 7th is the day that I prove to everyone that I have a little girl in my belly (or I am shocked to learn that it is, indeed, a little boy), so stay posted for photos.
I love you all and thanks for stopping by!
