hahahaaaa!!

I sure was sick for a LONG time. LOL!!

OK so really that picture a day thing fell apart!!I still take TONS of pictures, but definitely NOT every day! UGH!!  I thought it would be so great.  And I am going to try again!

Well, I really was sick for a very long time.  Let me back up.....

Back in August of last year, I was about 7 months pregnant, anemic, and very tired.   I got sick, some little 48 hour bug.  But then about two days after that I got this"cold".  And lets just say that it never really went away.I had a stuffy nose FOREVER!!!!  Seriously, it would get REALLY bad and sinus infectiony, then clear up a bit and just make me nasally, then sometimes I would just have a runny nose, etc.  It was bad and very frustrating.  sometimes I couldn't breathe through my nose for weeks on end. 

Yes, I definitely should have seen a doctor, but I couldn't find the time.  I also just figured that since I had a baby and was up all the night long off and on the I just had a weak immune system and once I started sleeping better I would get better, but that didn't happen.  Also, with four small kids I just could hardly find time to think let alone make a doctors appt.  I saw my doctor finally in December (only because my darling hubby made the appointment) and a series of times until March.  I went on a few rounds of antibiotics and I would clear up while on them, but about two days after the course finished it would come back.  She sent me to a specialist and. . .

He says I have allergies. LOL!!  So I am on a nasal spray and fine now. LOL!!  All that for allergies. 

I am so thankful!!  Honestly, when I would flare up really badly I would feel so sick.  My head hurt and my eyes hurt and I was so so tired.  It is nice the breath normal and not sound nasally all the time.

That's my sick story!

Recently my sweet baby boy has really started moving!  He is so cute.  He is not crawling yet, but I don't think he needs to.  He can get anywhere he wants.  He rolls like a mad man and stretches and pushes and he is just dangerous!  LOL!!  He takes up a ton of time just having to be on him all the time and it is only going to get worse.  I am really going to need to do some crazy baby proofing soon.  I must say that he is absolutely darling. He is the most pleasant baby.  We feel so lucky to have this sweet spirit in our family.

I am finally getting back into the swing of designing.  I went to Hawaii with my husband in April and I have hard a time getting back into it.  I have been crazy busy with baseball and tball and then just end of school stuff.  I have some things in the works but find it hard to get the time to finish them up. :)

Also, ScrapArtist has partnered with a company called Smilebox and I have been working on some project for them. :)  It is very cool and very easy to use.  My first project for them should be up soon.  I will be sure to link you there when it is finally up.  And I am working on another one for them. I am excited about this venture.

Speaking of Smilebox. LOL!!  I should get working. LOL!
