9 weeks to go...


Well, I'm 31 weeks along with baby #3 this week... so only "nine weeks" left!  Although I doubt I'll go to 40 weeks.  My son was born at 36 weeks and my daughter at 38... so really, anytime around 36 weeks I'll be ready getting impatient!

My Etsy sales count is only TEN away from 1,000!!  (I've sold more items that that really because of custom orders, etc.)... but still -- very exciting to see that number go over 1,000 soon!

Here's the latest pic of the growing Valley Momma... :)

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!


Ok, so it's rained just about every day for the past 4-5 days... and it's forecast to be gloomy and icky the next 3-4... RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!!  I'm being driven crazy inside the house!  I want sunshine and for the kiddos to be able to go outside and play!   It looks like a tornado exploded through the house from all the mess the kiddos have made -- especially my 4 year old's room and the playroom... oh my!

Anybody else having such cruddy weather??

Oh yeah - and we had a horriffic stomach bug go through the house last week too... I'm 30 weeks pregnant, too, so oh what fun that was!

Sunday afternoons...

Sunday afternoons... do you nap? do yardwork? veg out in front of the tv? What to do? This afternoon I sewed. I am FINALLY caught up on my sewing for the shop. I'm going to start cutting back on my store a little bit at a time because I'll have to close up for awhile once the new baby gets here in July!

It's almost July already?? Only a few months left! I don't really have too much to do to prepare for the new one... already have clothes, toys, essentials, etc. Just have to get Miss Nikki out of the crib and into her "big girl bed" so the baby has a place to sleep! :)

We're still working on picking out a suitable name for the baby -- we don't like picking out names... it's too hard!

At any rate, while I'm on "maternity leave" from the shop I'll be taking some time to come up with new innovative items for the shop for both babies AND their mommas... so ideas are welcome for anything you'd like to see! I'm also going to be working on some patterns to sell in the shop for some items as well. We'll see how well that goes... might need the hubby's help with my Adobe photoshop stuff to make it look all pretty like!

I go tomorrow for the 28 week appointment at the OB -- ie, drink the orange cola and get blood drawn to test for diabetes appointment. With my son I had to go and take the 3 hour one and get blood drawn 4 times... YUCK! They say you don't have to fast before the 28 week test, but with my daughter I did and didn't end up having to have the 3 hour test, so I'm totally not eating after 8pm tonight... you know, just in case. :)

Off to eat dinner now!

I've been slacking on the blog...

Hi! I know ... it's been forever since I posted something here...

First I want to thank all my customers for their purchases during March and I hope you enjoyed the free shipping! Yay!! April is off to a great start already! I have LOADS of things I need to get started and finished, so I'm a busy busy busy gal!

Check out facebook and become a "fan" of Valley Momma!

I had another ultrasound in mid-March and they confirmed that the baby is a GIRL and not a boy!! So I'll be having another girl this year! Yippee! The hubby and I are working on names, so wish us luck -- we don't like picking names, it's too hard!





I also had a craft show at the end of March and that was a success too! Thank you to all who came out to Expoland and bought something from me!





Here's a pic of the ultrasound...




PS - I'm open to name suggestions... so comment away!

FREE SHIPPING!

Hi! Just announcing that I'm having FREE SHIPPING event for the entire month of March (starting today, Feb. 27). All items in the shop (excluding car seat slip covers and stroller cushions) will have FREE SHIPPING! This is to celebrate a wondeful year (2008) of selling on Etsy and my daughter's 2nd birthday on March 8!

Happy Shopping! I'll be working on adding new items to the shop this month as well!

As always, custom orders are always welcome and I can make most all of my items in any fabric you want. :)

Thanks for a great 2008 and here's hoping 2009 will be just as great!
