Maybe Baby?!

I have been so nauseous the last couple of days.  Now I am no puker and hardly ever have a pukey feel.  I have yet to be hanging my head over a toilet, but I was warned that I was pregnant. . .so I decided it was time for a test, or three.  They all seem to say positive, but they are very light and seeing as this is my first go round I am not going to say I am pregnant yet.  I am going to the doctor in the morning for a little more verification.  Here goes the rest of my life as I know it is she agrees with e.p.t and First Response. Crazy!

Ruffled Bottomed Bloomers!

So my sister has 2 year old twin girls and was looking for those ruffled bottomed bloomers that used to be soo popular and outrageously priced.  She unfortunately could not find any, so I decided I would try my hand at them.  They are 3T and I could not find a pattern that I liked that was that size.  I combined two patterns and actually came up with something that was not horrible!  I was so excited, because I have never just made up a pattern.  Seeing as I dont have any of my own children, I have never seen what size 3T bloomers would be; well I NAILED it, way to go me!  Haha, I was pretty excited.  They turned out pretty cute, except where I sewed one row of my ruffle bias tape on upside down...oops!  Oh well I dont think that any one will know!

Grannie :(

So my maternal grandmother passed away early this morning.  She was 90 years old and will be missed greatly.  Grannie, as we all called her, was such a wonderful woman; strong, loving, and resilient are some words that would describe her.  She was doing great, living at home with help during the day doing things such as cooking meals, laundry and helping her in and out of the shower.  She stayed alone and was thriving mentally and emotionally since the death of my granddad two years ago.  She had a positive attitude and was so excited to have seen all six of her grandchildren graduate high school (my grandparents always said "if we could just live to see all of the grandchildren through high school, we will have lived a fulfilling life.)  Well she made it to see the last one graduate (and start his first year of college) and 34 years of the oldest one's life.  What an amazing and wonderful time we have had with her.  She will be missed dearly, along with my granddad.  They are reunited in heaven and what a homecoming that will be.  They are both pain free and can watch us continue our lives from heaven.  It was slightly an unexpected death because she had just broken her ankle and was placed in a nursing home rehabilitation center.  Both grandparents despised the thought of nursing homes and I think she decided that that was no life for her if she could not be home.  She passed seemingly peacefully in her sleep after three nights in the nursing home.  I love you grannie and will dearly miss you!
