Normally we don’t complain or share the financial situation with others but I am pretty sick of hearing about how “lucky we are” from people who THINK we are living the high life. I am not going to rant on and on about this though… We’ve got less than 3 months to save up the […]

Don't worry, I am not dead- just blog slacking.
Don’t worry, I am not dead. Just crazy busy. I survived the tornado warning and am still doing well with Tater. We are still moving stuff in to our new place and I did actually do the video tour of the new house today. The video is kind of a speed demon tour though, lol. […]
Sitting in the nasty basement waiting for the storm to pass and pushing for the Indiana Midwifery Licensure Bill
I am sitting on a rubbermaid bin in my basement. The pets are all corralled in the laundry room and the weather radio is playing the weather coverage. We are under another tornado warning… N is at work this time so I am sitting this one out alone. This morning we had a “meeting” with […]
Oh, my grinding pelvis and popping back. My bones are LOOSE these days!
For the next 3 months we’ll just be a few gimps in smelly, dirty clothes in a house the wreaks of dirty cat box and has pet hair all over the carpet. I can just see it now!
Just passing through to leave a quick update or On the move again!
I spent the day trying to get through my feed reader and visit as many of YOUR blogs as I can. I’ve still got lots of unread stuff and am making my way that direction soon I promise. – Yesterday we signed the paperwork and paid the down payment for our new home. We got […]
Gestational diabetes screening in pregnant woman, how my situation unfolds.
I seriously debated whether or not to post my last entry because I felt it was an unresolved issue that left me open to the possibility of getting tons of “you are a crazy hippy, listen to your doctor” feedback… You guys are amazing though! I never imagined I would receive so much helpful information […]
Just more reason why I wont be birthing with my OBGYN in a hospital…
This morning the home phone rings, we are still asleep so we don’t answer it. I know my OBGYN’s office is supposed to call me today regarding the results of my routine blood glucose screen. I also know I told them to call my cell phone. I fall back asleep and then my cell phone […]
Survived the blood draw and am reading like crazy!!
We got up at the butt crack of dawn to get ready for the days prenatal appointment. I wasn’t allowed to eat anything after drinking my nasty Glucola. The Glucola had to be started by 8:45am and finished by 8:50am so I had to eat before hand. The thing is I’ve never been able to […]
Spring showers and forward motion, are we there yet?
It is a cool, rainy night here in Evansville and I am loving it. I spent the day doing finances, printing the way cute photos we took over the weekend for our scrapbook and I also started making the pregnancy announcements we are having done for friends and family. All in all it’s been a […]

We had a blast this weekend and even took some photos to share with you. Hopefully you enjoyed the belly shot photos I shared with you over the weekend. If you haven’t seen those yet you can by following this link. For those of you who didn’t already know we planned to spend my birthday […]
Only 2 weeks until the third trimester, man time flies!
Today I am off enjoying my birthday weekend, actually my birthday was yesterday but N was working so we didn’t celebrate. We are off doing just that right now! I thought I would leave you with some fun 25 weeks pregnant belly shots in my absence. As you are reading this I am actually in […]
Hey mama, win some goodies!
I have been in a crappy mood today basically over finances and lack of preparedness. You probably got that from my last post huh? Well, I wasn’t going to whine about it here in another blog post cause that is a downer. So I resolved to sleep and lay around all day instead having anxiety […]
Hump day is kicking my butt!! All I want to do is sleep.
Man, I am drained today and have no idea why! It is a nice day, not to cold and not to warm. Spring is upon us and the garden is showing first signs of life. I’ve got plenty of things I should be doing like cleaning house, finishing up building the cat house, packing, crocheting […]
Live broadcast and chat fun is coming to the blog, come get your chat on now!
Tater’s birth is coming up pretty fast! She is due around June 25th and I’ll be heading off to The Farm on June 13th for my “delivery month” (38 to 42 weeks pregnant) where I will sit and wait for her to come. The Farm is a great place for all things natural and I […]
Instead of The Bold and the Beautiful it is The Renters and the Slumlords…
Douchebag, douchbag… La, la, la… <- That is my landlord song. Today I present you with another episode of The Renters and the Slumlords. I thought this other post was the last of the saga, boy was I wrong but I am feeling a bit punchy so I am going to try having some fun […]
25th week prenatal appointment updates and brain dump.
Yesterday was my 25 week prenatal appointment with the useless OBGYN. Got the all clear on mine and Tater’s health. Things are still going normally and are on track. I weighed in at 123.5 lbs which is 4.5 pounds more than last checkup. That is perfectly normal when you remember the recommended weight gain during […]
Um, hi! Can you spray your germs somewhere else, please? [*warning* graphic snot pic ;-)]
As you know we’ve been busting our butts to get stuff done these days. Yesterday we had my chiropractor appointment, talked with our slumlords on the phone (and got out of our lease), then we went to the bank per their request to place stop payments on the 2 checks we sent them for rent […]
The final chapter of the crappy evansville landlord drama.
Today is a good day! For those of you following the rental saga, here is the latest (and hopefully the final) update. After months of certified letters, emails, phone calls and face to face meetings that accomplish nothing we’ve finally decided to ask the landlords to release us from the lease come May 1st. We […]
Time flies… When it Rains, it pours… We have some more news too!
Is it strange that vacuuming was enjoyable for me this last week? I got a wild hair and was having a good ole time with our vintage Filter Queen vacuum. It might have been the warmer weather that got me all motivated or perhaps it’s the prospects of getting out of this place and in […]
How much do you pay to banks each month? Take a closer look!
I am curious, do you know the exactly how much money you are paying in interest and bank fees each month? I ask because recently I’ve been particularly worried about this one credit card account I have. It was literally the first card I got when I decided to try reestablishing myself credit wise. This […]
