New House, New Baby, Pinterest

Guess what the fiance and I are doing? Buying a house! Pretty awesome, isn't it? We will be first-time homeowners, so it is a big deal for us. It is quite the fixer-upper, but we are getting it for a great price, so I'm sure I will actually have some interesting things to post pretty soon. The fiance is quite the handyman, so I'm sure we'll be fixing all kinds of stuff. Or...desperately trying. We're also having another baby. Hopefully, it will be as cute as the first two. If not, we may put it back. Either way, here is what it looks like now:

On another note, I have become addicted to Pinterest. However, I am coming to find out that some of this stuff is crap. Am I the ONLY person on this site that actually follows the link through before pinning? I can only imagine my poor friends seeing one of my pins and thinking, "OMG! That recipe looks AMAZING! Pinning!" only to find a week later, when they actually try to access the link associated to the pin, they are taken to one of those "Click here to win!" dancing pop-ups. Those really irritate me.

Do you know what else irritates me? Just pictures. Listen, lady, I know you want to try and keep that wedding dress that you love a secret so that NO ONE else will wear it. However, you grabbed it from the World Wide Web, which means that you are definitely not the original owner of the photo. So please, don't take that pic, put it on your blog without linking to the source, or upload it to your personal photo gallery and then pin it. No one likes that.

My dogs ate my cross stitch, so I am trying to venture my way into some other form of craftiness. I am now going to try to crochet something. I figure I should try and knit some booties or a blanket for the baby, since it's the womanly thing to do. This can go one of two ways. I will either A) successfully crochet a little blankie with strange stitches and that is lopsided, but I will force my child to use it anyway, or B) end up failing miserably and buy a little crocheted blanket and call it my own. Either way will work for me. I will keep you (my one reader HAHA) updated.

Finally

I'm back. Okay, yes, I suck at blogging. When I'm not working, all of my free time is spent mothering (whatever that means), trying to take up a new hobby, and then reading the Game of Thrones books when I fail. I never post anything of any substance (but that is 99% of the internet), and I don't ever post consistently, but let's get caught up: I had the baby, the first three months were horribly rough, but we have been blessed and she started sleeping for 5-6 hours at night probably around 3 weeks of age, she's adorable, and another love of my life. There, everyone is caught up. Currently, she is 8 months old and all over the place. Her older sister is awesome, and a great help with her little sister. So far, there are not really any jealousy issues, although I don't get to spend as much time with her older sister as I would like. Here is a picture of my wiggly little one.

On top of that, we have a surprise...we're pregnant again! How wonderful, right? We're going to name it "Oops". I scheduled an appointment to get back on regular birth control (I was on a weaker version since I was breastfeeding) and was feeling quite nauseous. I figured I would take a pregnancy test just in case and found out about my surprise. We were planning on having another, anyway, but were going to wait until our little one was at least 2 years old. We're happy about it, regardless. Anyway, updates to come, I am trying to take up something new, so here is a cross-stitch that I started recently. I'll probably throw it on the floor pretty soon and be back to reading my GoT (Game of Thrones, to those of you who are not fans) books in about 10 minutes. Here is where I'm at. I bought this awesome pattern from this awesome seller and thought I would give it a shot.
