Portrait of a Mutt

Let's just say, I call this picture, "No you are NOT coming in!!" :-)

This once fluffy WHITE american eskimo decided to try and dye his hair. He was tired on all the other dogs laughing at him for being so cutsie and feminine looking. So a new look was made. Unfortunetly his choice of "dye" leaves much to be desired. Frosty calls it the "Mud look". What do you say, does he look more manly??? (imho he looks even more pathetic but don't tell him I said that! It'll give him even a BIGGER complex!)

Think Pink!

My Dh, my kids, and I were able to go get another ultra-sound *just* to see the sex of the baby and it is a girl! That makes 3 girls and one boy.....poor DH and DS are outnumbered!! (oh and the hat is one the nurse-prac makes for all the moms-to-be. She knit it not me!) She was kicking up a storm and we got to see her little legs kicking me and her mouth and eyes and of course the girl parts. :-) Everything looks good...except my weight gain seems to have sky-rocketed!!! i know I am supposed to gain weight when preggers but after 4 pregnancies it still sucks to see that scale go up and up. Makes me think of all the work I have to do to get my body somewhat back, and after 4 kids I am sure my bod won't ever be the same!

Anyway enough with my pity party here are some ultra-sound shots of the little girlie:

Of course we have the typical profile and floating fist....

And here's another profile but in this one you can see the lips and the one eye closed....cute!

Now that we know she is a she I can start really making preparations. Since we thought we were done with DS I had gotten rid of almost all my baby stuff so unfortunetly have to start from scratch. I started a Target registry for anyone that's interested email me.

Well today should be a nice day so we will have to go out and enjoy our new swing set. Yep Great-grandma gave us some money to buy the kids a swing set!! Its a really nice one so I will get some pix of the kiddos playing on it today. TTFN

The long sought-after belly shot

So I am only 3 weeks late in getting you this but here we are in all our glory! I am 24 weeks and 2 days along in this pose...what do you think??

Monday is the ultra-sound that will HOPEFULLY tell us if this is a little girl or a little boy poking me in the ribs. No solid decisions on names yet, but as I was taking a shower (where we all do our great thinking, right?!) I came up with "Constance Lois" What do you think? Constance just came to me and Lois is after Dh's grandma. Anyway, that's just a thought.

My friend Allena asked me to test a pattern for a granny square purse. Its VERY easy and very cute so if you would like to purchase the pattern or a bag, please contact her!! Its supposed to be in 2 diff colors but I needed to get rid of this skein and My daughter loves yellow so I stuck with that. The fabric on the right is what I plan to sew on the inside as a liner, as soon as I figure out how to sew on something crocheted that is!!

Anyway my kids are making this awful banging noise upstairs so I'd better go see what they are breaking now....
