The doctor said it could be a small blood spot....or a twin that was starting/trying to form. WOW! We will find out more on the 27th. The doctor said we should be able to hear the heartbeat then!!! It's so great to hear GOOD news for once!!! I'm trying to stay calm and not to stress. Easier said than done!!!<br /><br />Tomorrow Scott & I celebrate our 1 year anniversary!

We are going to have our "official" Christmas on Christmas Eve. I can't wait ;) Anyways, I got him the New Super Mario Bros for the Wii and he LOVES it. OK, MORE than loves it. He has played this game for 6 hours straight. I really love it too! But I don't have the time to sit in front of the t.v. for 6 hours, haha! I love being able to play with him. Up to 4 can play at once, how cool is that?!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/Sy_DzkutW1I/AAAAAAAAAqE/5ujedyg4HhA/s1600-h/51Bs4LPWpaL._AA280_.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/Sy_DzkutW1I/AAAAAAAAAqE/5ujedyg4HhA/s400/51Bs4LPWpaL._AA280_.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417764167550327634" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It is very addicting! Just ask Scott :)<br /><br />Scott got me a new Wii game too. Harvest Moon. I have been wanting this game for *SO* long! Now, if he would stop playing it, maybe I could get addicted!!!

A PINK laptop. I have never had a laptop :( Boohoo! I have wanted one for so long now...maybe Santa will see that I have been VERY nice! ;)<br />2. Gift cards to scrapbooking stores<br />3. Anything from Victoria's Secret<br />4. Target gift card<br />5. A camera bag so I can keep my new Canon safe ;)<br />6. Gift card to get my hair done<br /><br />Scott hasn't worked much on his list.

I'm going to freeze my booty off!~<br /><br /><br />Here is a layout of my sweet Rascal that I made for my DT over at <a href="http://poshscrapbookstore.com/">Posh Designs</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/SuiEH8PwjMI/AAAAAAAAAbM/bXOICU1mUfk/s1600-h/rascy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397709425369713858" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 399px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/SuiEH8PwjMI/AAAAAAAAAbM/bXOICU1mUfk/s400/rascy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I used the yummy Basic Grey Lemonade Collection...the papers are sooo pretty!!!<br /><br /><br />This one was a lot of fun to make...I think I laughed the whole time, haha :) My poor, ugly, pitiful pumpkin.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/SuiEqk0TpUI/AAAAAAAAAbU/mei7wCP12q4/s1600-h/funky1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397710020375979330" style="WIDTH: 307px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/SuiEqk0TpUI/AAAAAAAAAbU/mei7wCP12q4/s400/funky1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Finally, another one of Rascal. I need to get more pictures of Snickers, I'm such a bad mom. She hates having her picture taken. She moves too much and will never look at me. Rascal is such a little poser. She's a camera hog :)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/SuiFdg69GmI/AAAAAAAAAbc/AxZ5qfbUxD8/s1600-h/IMG_0384.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397710895503448674" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 397px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/SuiFdg69GmI/AAAAAAAAAbc/AxZ5qfbUxD8/s400/IMG_0384.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Happy Wednesday everyone!!! :)KristenJohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02814788507755534009noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511148177713920903.post-11918083337760808842009-10-23T11:59:00.001-07:002009-10-23T12:18:28.187-07:00Happy Friday!Hope everyone has a great weekend! Scott has to work nights (blah) so I think I'm going to hang out with my friends. Hopefully I will get some scrappy time in!!!<br /><br /><br />Here are a few new pics I have taken with the new camera. I also downloaded Adobe Lightroom and I LOVE it. I need to mess around with it more...I need some tips on how to use it! And my camera, haha!! Anyone have any?!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/SuH-BQac3dI/AAAAAAAAAak/tXbNkk13wNk/s1600-h/IMG_0267.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395873126105800146" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/SuH-BQac3dI/AAAAAAAAAak/tXbNkk13wNk/s400/IMG_0267.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My sweet Rascal.

Just a little though. But she is keeping her food down and eating on her own! She had half a can of tuna last night (yea, I know, tuna is bad - but she ate it and that's all that matters) and she ate some of her Science Diet hard food this morning. I have just worried myself sick over her since Thursday. I haven't been able to sleep and I have even lost a few pounds. Please continue to pray for my baby!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/St27G0nhRvI/AAAAAAAAAZU/xX4v6xS6HQ4/s1600-h/IMG_0129.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394673654537733874" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 380px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/St27G0nhRvI/AAAAAAAAAZU/xX4v6xS6HQ4/s400/IMG_0129.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I have been messing around with my new camera, here a few shots of our farm...<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/St27r3R-oFI/AAAAAAAAAZc/yPECW34XYTY/s1600-h/IMG_0147.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394674290907848786" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/St27r3R-oFI/AAAAAAAAAZc/yPECW34XYTY/s400/IMG_0147.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/St28EZx1O4I/AAAAAAAAAZk/eVa-iym27Q4/s1600-h/IMG_0148.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394674712485116802" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/St28EZx1O4I/AAAAAAAAAZk/eVa-iym27Q4/s400/IMG_0148.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/St28XRkb8nI/AAAAAAAAAZs/cSh9AalH6Kc/s1600-h/IMG_0150.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394675036698964594" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 393px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/St28XRkb8nI/AAAAAAAAAZs/cSh9AalH6Kc/s400/IMG_0150.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I still have tons to learn...hopefully my new Dummie book for my camera will come today!!! :)<br /><br />Scott and I had a little photoshoot in our house.

On Thursday, she couldn't keep her food down at all. I never saw her eat or drink anything Thursday OR Friday. The vet said she had a lot of dead fleas on her. I had no idea she had fleas THAT bad. I have been treating her but forget to last month...shame on me. My cats never go outside, so I have no idea how they got them. I guess from being around other animals at one point.<br /><br />The vet gave her fluids so she wouldn't dehydrate, hairball medicine, a pill to kill all live fleas and a shot for nausea. Poor thing. I have to feed her baby food now, which she is not eating. I really hope she tries to eat later. I had to give her a bath earlier and she loved it. I'm a nervous wreck...I'm so upset...I can't imagine losing her. She is 8, so is Snickers. I can't believe they are that old. Snickers is doing fine...she had a bath earlier too. I'm getting ready to put flea medicine on the both of them.<br /><br />We have to spray our house tomorrow, I really hope it kills what fleas are in here. Please pray my Rascal starts eating.<br /><br />My sweet girl...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/Stpmaaj8qzI/AAAAAAAAAYc/VCDaVz31lfs/s1600-h/IMG_0077.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393736107722320690" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 316px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/Stpmaaj8qzI/AAAAAAAAAYc/VCDaVz31lfs/s320/IMG_0077.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />On to scrappy stuff...<br /><br />Here is a card I created for a certain friend of mine :) She should be getting it soon! :)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/StpnOL9RdoI/AAAAAAAAAYk/EAmmzrD_ftU/s1600-h/thanks1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393736997155206786" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 243px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kHubsHt3Tgs/StpnOL9RdoI/AAAAAAAAAYk/EAmmzrD_ftU/s320/thanks1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And another card for another friend!!
