OMG, she...

slept in!! Barry got up at the usual 6am, and he came back into the room at around 6:20. I said "have you talked to Kristen? She's really quiet..." and he said no, so I went in and checked on her. She looked like she just woke up, but the TV was on. Normally when he gets up and goes to the bathroom she comes out of her room and starts bugging the both of us (most of the time even before that). When we were ready to go downstairs, Barry checked in on her and she was back to sleep! She never came downstairs until 7am! She's only done that once in the past year, and that was at Mom's house! I SO hope this is going to start being a regular thing. Not going to get my hopes up though! I thought she was sick or something, but no, she just said she was tired. :)

Look what I just ordered!

My new laptop! It has everything! 1GB RAM, 80GB hard drive, 15.4" screen, DVD burner & internal network card! I also ordered a 4-in-1 photo printer for only $49 so I won't have to use Mom's anymore! LOL Isn't it purdy...:)

Update, but not much of one...

So I got a call from the lawyers again to set a date for the discovery. May 5th & May 9th. Why we need to go again to get prepared is beyond me. Waste of time I think.

Kaylee is doing awesome at sitting up! She can sit there and not fall over unless Kristen comes along and bugs her. :) She's now using the playpen to play in! No teeth yet, but I'm sure one is coming soon! Also, she is in 9-12 month clothing already!

I am finally selling my designs at both stores, and my first pay day is coming up on the 30th, so we'll see how it is. It's from the store that is new and doesn't have many members, so I'm not expecting much. Even $20 would be good! LOL

Here are some recent pics of the girls:

Update

So I went to the lawyers yesterday to get prepared for the discovery I was to have on Thursday. He said it's crazy that I'm even having to do it because the amount they are talking about isn't very much! Usually it's for people that have an amount over $20,000. He said they (the opposing side) hadn't sent in any paperwork nor told them that they were actually coming! Long story short (too late!) LOL...we got a call from our lawyer at 6pm saying that they called during the day when he was out and now want to see Barry too, so the discovery will be at a later time. Hopefully they'll just propose another amount so we can take it and get it over with. 3 years of annoyances just for a stupid little accident!

Kaylee is doing wonderfully with her sitting up. She can sit there for minutes at a time without falling over! After a while she gets annoyed with it and starts fussing, but other than that, she likes it!

I gave the girls their first bath together the other day. Kaylee was in her bath ring of course. I got pictures, which I haven't put up on the Fotki site yet, but will soon!

I'm officially a work-at-home-mom!

I have been accepted to be a designer at 3Scrapateers, so now I can officially say I'm a work-at-home-mom! Besides needing time to create the kits, I also have to make some freebies for the member chats/crops they have (on both 3S and Elemental Scraps) and attend said chats/crops. It'll definitely take up some time every day, but at least I can take care of my kids while working and not have to pay for childcare. I'm so excited to be doing what I LOVE and making some money too!

Kaylee's 6 month app't

So we waited almost an hour to get in! Our app't was only 30 minutes after the place opened and she was behind already. Something about there being a delivery last night and someone was supposed to cancel the mornings app'ts but no one did so she had to rush in. Kaylee weighs 18lbs 10oz and is 27 inches tall! 80% for both, but only 25% for head circumference. Guess she has her Daddy's head! LOL She got one needle in each leg and now she doesn't need to have any more until she's a year old! Freaked out as soon as I started undressing her. I guess she remembered getting her ears pierced and thought it was going to happen again or something. She cried more today that when she actually DID get them done! The doctor wrote in her file about the rolling r's sound she makes when she's crying. Too funny!
