Does three make a pattern that will stick?

Sarah has now slept through the night 10:30 to 4am three nights in a row. I hope this sticks. She then goes back to sleep until eight or nine am. We also switched her formula from lacto free to soy formula. We have to wait a week to see if it really works, but I think that it is. She spits up less, has an easier time feeding and seems to have less gas. Thank goodness for that. It was frustrating how much feeding was a struggle for her.

Being a mom now, I have to say there is no way to prepare to be a mom. Being one now, I keep coming across so many different things that I realize I did not get before. I never understood the schedule limitations and the whole being able to talk on the phone thing without interruption. It has only been five weeks and I am so changing in how I see things and respond to things. Its pretty cool though I can't really describe it. I need to find my journal and write in it and then look back and read the difference. Journals are good for that. :)

Today and tomorrow, Dan and I will finish painting the living room. Then we have to focus on getting all the stuff together for the storage space and for Goodwill. After that we will be done with all the "stuff" we have to do which will be great. I am so wanting to just relax as a family on the weekends. Please pray we can get the house sold without speed bumps and road blocks. I think that is an area to trust God since we know He gave Dan this job and God doesn't just help part way but full way.

FYI, There is one way to prepare for being a mom, being the oldest of 5 kids and helping to raise 3 of them. :)

I hope it sticks. She may have times when she wants to eat at night because of growth spurts. Try to resist feeding her then. She can easily get back into that habit of getting up at night. Jamie did that, after she'd been getting up at night. We fed her the first night, and then it took her three nights to get back to sleeping through the night after we didn't feed her again. She lived and seems to be a well adjusted child now. :)

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
