Coming out

I've been hiding a secret, not because I wanted to but because it's the thing to do but I just can't do it anymore. I've been dying to share it with everyone and I've pretty much told all my friends so I don't need to hide it any longer.

Plus, it'll explain my absence from this blog.

REady?

I'm pregnant!!!!!

Yeah, I found out on Christmas day and have been really excited about it until about a month ago when I started getting really bad morning sickness and once this is over, I'll be happy again.

Plus I'll post more but I don't want you to worry about my absence or wonder why I have nothing to say cuz you bet your ass I do. I just don't have the energy.

I did start another blog for the pregnancy if you're interested in checking that out.

Ok, back to puking and being sick.

First time away

Eleanor is out with my mom. It's the first time she's been driven by anyone else besides A-man or I. But she did great. If we had been driving, she would have fallen fast asleep but since my mom and aunt drove, she just partied. My mom called when they got to her house to report that she's doing fine, which I knew she would. I didn't even hug or say goodbye to her. She was happy to go and I wasn't at all nervous. I get more nervous when A-man takes her out. I trust my mom completely a little more than I do with A-man which isn't right. I know and I'm working on it.

So in efforts to trust A-man more, I'm letting him take her on a trip to Florida in two weeks. He will be meeting up with his parents who rented a condo for 2 weeks and they will be staying with them for 8 days. The day after I bought the tickets for them, I broke down and bought a ticket for myself to join them for the last 4 days of their vacation. It's not that I don't trust him, it's just that I'm freaking out at the thought of being away from her for that long. I have a shit load of stuff to do so I can keep busy while they are away but they are also going away during Valentine's day so I'd like to be there with them. Plus, it'll be nice to get away from this cold. Although it would mean that I'll be with the in laws for 3 days non stop which is also giving me a little anxiety so since the ticket was super cheap, I might have to bail out if everything is going ok with them. We'll see.

Closing shop

Due to the new laws that will probably pass but either way will effect people like myself, I decided to close up shop and mark down all my baby items. Please forward the website to all your mommy friends and help me sell my beloved, items. But it's good for the buyers because they can get high quality (nothing I wouldn't use with my own baby) items for almost half what I used to sell them for.

Ridiculous

This new law will be the end of millions of small children stores and especially little WAHMs like myself that want to make handmade goodies for babies and children.

Pinch me, I must be dreaming

It's been a whole week and Eleanor is sleeping better and longer every night. Last night she went to sleep around 7:45pm and woke up at 6:30 AM. That's the LONGEST she's ever slept ever!! I'm beyond thrilled that she's finally sleeping through the night and now I can finally sleep too because the first few nights I kept waking up wondering if she was ok since I'm so used to her getting up during the night. Now I know she's ok and sleeping well so I can relax and try to sleep as well.

I just have to say that she couldn't have picked a better time to sleep through the night.

Happy New Year!!

and a big Happy one and a half year to my baby!
