I've been a very bad blogger. Sorry about that =/ Things have really taken off with my Sewing Blog and my Etsy Shop. I've been a little distracted. It has been great though! I'm definitely not complaining.I've got an extra $70 hanging out in my PayPal account, so it's totally worth it. Haha.
Baby Stuff: Things are still going great. We have a doctor's appointment in just a few hours. Hoping to hear more good news, as always. One of the few complaints that I have: Sleep, or lack thereof. I'm still losing my battle with my RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome). I'm hoping the doctor can give me some advice today. *Cross your fingers* Other than that, it's been pretty easy! My feet and lower back are pretty sore, and my ankles are just starting to get a little poofy. It's definitely hard to bend over and tie my shoes haha. But nothing major at all, we've been lucky. =D Jordyn's room is almost done too! We have just about everything that we need. Just a couple more things to get out of the room, and some last minute organizing. I still have to wash all the blankets and clothes, but that can wait another week or so. Right now I'm just getting to the impatient/nervous stage. I don't anticipate any real problems with the delivery, but it's still scary as heck!
Chris: He has been doing great. Just working mainly. He has also been spending a lot of time with his RC car hobby. He is still selling those sleeping bags that I've told you guys about, and he gets to use those profits to buy parts for his project cars. For a while he was participating in races, but it didn't take long for that to get old. Chris has always been very good at following the rules, and people at the races simply don't, and it takes the fun out of everything for him. Now that summer is getting closer, he is also switching his focus towards other hobbies. He is thinking about doing some major work on his 4Runner, finally. He has wanted to get it taken care of for so long, but never had the time or means to do it.
Me: Other than the pregnancy, the biggest thing I've been busy with is definitely my sewing blog. I've been featured a few times on other blogs, and I'm back to selling things on Etsy again. It's been a little hectic, but really fun. Since it's a hobby that I can do sitting down, it's been great for all these evenings when I'm not feeling up to doing much of anything else. I'm hoping (haha) that I'll be able to get some more done during maternity leave. We'll see how that actually goes. (Leave the "Yeah right!" comments to yourselves please). I also started a new book this week. So far, I'm really liking it! It's very thick and intimidating when you first pick it up. But it's been an easy read so far. It's called "The Year I Turned Sixteen: Rose, Daisy, Laurel, Lily" and it's by Diane Schwemm.

Finished
LOVED these books. These are the second and third books from The Hunger Games trilogy. Can't say enough how much I loved them. Total page turners. Literally read the second book in two days flat. They aren't perfect happy stories, that's for sure. But they are so riveting. My mom said, "It ends the way it should." At first, I had no idea what that meant. Now that I have finished them, I agree 100%. It ends the way it should.

Finished Books
Loved it!!!
Sparks always seems to have some sort of death or tragedy in his books, including this one, but it still had a happy ending! I really liked how this one was written. I'm sure I will be reading it again, and probably seeing the movie as well!

Like this one. Didn't love it, but it wasn't a waste of time either. I have never read a book written by a celebrity before, and I really enjoyed it. It was fun to get a peak inside the lives of the rich and famous =] Definitely a guilty pleasure book. I almost felt like I was reading her journal. She was very open, and very honest. The style of writing was also very easy to read. It was almost like participating in a real conversation with her.

The Reader
I just finished reading this today.
Not exactly sure if I liked it or not.
The first section had several bits about their affair.
A little too risque for my tastes.

But that was gone for the last 2/3 of the book.
The author used a lot of mature and intelligent language.

A little over my head. Very philosophical.
I had to re-read several paragraphs to fully grasp what he was saying.

It wasn't so bad that it was a waste of time.
But I don't think I will ever read it again.
