Good lord it has been awhile since I blogged. Busy is not even a word to describe how hectic my life has been at times recently. Getting a business up and running while being a stay at home mom, has been quite the challenge but it has been working out well! Throw in Trav working nights for the last few weeks, and that equals TOUGH! lol Of course he was getting home in the AM and then needing to sleep, and trying to keep Bailey quiet so he could was next to impossible :) Thank goodness he is back to his regular schedule tomorrow. Bailey is doing so great and learning new things every day. Her newest words are Nana for my mom, Momma, and Papa. She is such a smart little girl, and we painted for the first time the other day. She had such a blast and made quite a mess. A few weeks ago she also had her first pony ride, and we have been trying to talk daddy in to buying her one ever since :) She LOVED it although I was not surprised because she LOVES animals. She has gotten her 1st through 3rd boo boos in the last couple weeks......first she fell and cut her lip on her wagon wheel, then she hit her head on the arcadia door, and lastly today she hit her face on the coffee table! It is heart breaking to ever see her get hurt, but I know it is a fact of life and remember getting hurt as a child. Of course that does not make it any easier on me! Amongst all we have going on we have continued trying to conceive baby #2. This month we really gave it a go, so we will find out shortly if we were successful. I was sure last month I was because Bailey weaned from BFing, but I guess it was just time. I was SOOOO sad because I had hoped to continue until the age of 2 even while nursing, but I planned to let her self wean and she did. If I ask her if she wants her nu nu nu now she just puts her head on my shoulder and pats my back as if she knows it was a special bond that I will forever miss. Oh goodness I am tearing up now just thinking about it. My little girl is growing up so fast. If we are not successful in getting preggo this month, I am going to take a couple of months off or at least not "try" so much because I am headed to Cancun with the girls for a weekend in June or July. I am still not sure if I will go only because I have a hard time leaving B, although she will be with daddy and he promised to stay home and not take her anywhere while I am gone. We will see. I hope to be preggo, but it is in god's hands and I know I will be blessed again one day. Roo-Bug's is doing really well, and I decided to start doing custom orders as well as stock the store. I have a larger work load now, but I really enjoy it. At the beginning of July I will launch my individual store where I will also be selling fabric. I look forward to branching out a bit more. This month I also launched a dress line that has gotten some great feedback so I am super excited about that. My goal with my profits, is to pay off my Honda so I can build a pool in time for next summer which Trav said we could do. We are also shopping around for an old VW bug so I can have a play car for the cooler months. Trav said he will help me keep it running, and we can fix it all up and just have fun with it. I have been doing a ton of research lately on home birthing and also just more natural childbirth and I am excited about the next pregnancy. I may end up birthing at home in a tub, and Trav suppports me 100% in whatever decision I make. We are going to meet with my doctor first to see if I can achieve the type of birth I am looking for in a hospital setting. The business of being born is a great documentary to watch regarding birth in the United States. Definitely opened up our eyes into doing more research. Ok I think I have typed enough for now. I am REALLY sun burnt from hanging by the pool today, and I need some sleep :)
