Back from the Doctor

I went this afternoon and she informed me that I am dialated to 2 cms and the baby is REAL low. He is ready to make his debute!

So - if you're looking for me or trying to contact me and you don't hear from me within 24 hours, I'm probably in labor! :0)

We are hoping to hold off until the 8th or 9th but you know how these things happen!

Thanks for all the well wishes and I'll keep you up to date!

9 Days and counting!

I can't believe that there are only 9 days before we get to meet this little guy! I'm so excited! It hasn't been the easiest of my 3 pregnancies but as some wonderful people keep reminding me, it will all be worth it in the end and once he's here, I'll forget all about the pain and uncomfortable stuff! :0)

The nursery is done and the crib is set-up, clothes and gifts have been put away, diapers have been stacked, baby food (I like to stock up on that stuff) has been arranged in the pantry, and now we are just waiting for the big day to arrive.


At my last doctors appointment everything was going well. I go back to the doctor on today for an exam and if I'm at all ready to give birth, she'll put me in the hospital on Thursday (6/8) evening and they'll begin inducing me on Friday (6/9).


I guess we should really work on picking a name now! What a process! :0)

Maternity Leave has begun!

WOW!! I can't believe I get to say this already, but I'm on Maternity Leave until at least the first week in August! I'm so excited! There is still so much to do in the next 3 weeks before the little guy arrives not to mention planning and throwing a birthday bash for my son who will be 6 on Thursday. Hope it's not too hot!

I am shipping the last of my orders out this afternoon so everyone's items will be on there way to you today. I will also be checking my e-mail at least every morning if not more often throughout the day.

I will keep you posted on my condition through this blog and of course the Facebook Fan Page so if you haven't signed up already drop by and say hi! I will also send a newsletter out once the baby is born and of course about a week before I open up shop again.

You can sign up for the newsletter on the left-hand side of this blog.

If you need anything or have any questions feel free to contact me!!

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!!! I hope I get to see you all sometime in August!!

Last SNS for a few months!

Tonight I've decided to do an SNS (Saturday Night Special) in my Etsy Shop.

Take 20% Off your entire order*! Use coupon code 62010 in the notes to seller during checkout. I can either send you a revised invoice or you can pay with Paypal and I will issue you a refund!

*Cannot be combined with any other offers, coupons, or promos. Discount cannot be applied to Clearance items or shipping charges.

I will combine shipping and refund anything over $1.50 of the actual shipping costs.

I will be closing both my shop and my website early tomorrow (6-20-10) for Maternity Leave. I am being induced on the 9th of July and we still have so much to get done before the baby arrives.

I will let everyone know when I return! Be sure to sign up for the mailing list, follow me on twitter, or "like" me on Facebook in order to get the latest information first!

Thanks everyone!

MATERNITY LEAVE begins 6/20/10

It's almost time!! I'm so excited and anxious I could scream with delight - but I won't :0) With the hot summer already under way (high of 89 today) and only 21 days left until they induce me and my new bundle of joy arrives I've decided to take the next few weeks off and make sure that I am completely ready for this baby to arrive!

Beginning Sunday 6-20-10 at midnight I will close my Etsy Shop and my Website. I will re-open them both as soon as I've adjusted to life with a newborn (oh and healed a bit). I'm hoping it will be within the first week or two of August, but I just won't know until then!

Please make sure you either sign up for my newletter or click that little button in my Etsy shop that will notify you when my shop reopens. I will give a heads up to everyone before I open by sending a newletter, tweeting, blogging, and posting a note on Facebook.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Thank you so much for your support and understanding! Hope I'll see you all again in August!
Christine
