Avon calling

So, I'm taking a plunge and have decided to sell Avon and Mark products. I really hope it works out because the extra money would be awesome for us!!

I'm truly excited and I've passed out a bunch of books. I've been organizing everything and trying to review the booklets to learn more about their products. I should be registered as a consultant by Monday and I can start taking online tutorials to learn even more about makeup and skincare and all that jazz. So, wish me luck on my newest venture.

My sister found out she is having a baby girl!! I'm really excited for her. I thought for sure she'd be the one to have a boy, but it's apparent that our family doesn't make boys. (Even though I know the sex is determined by the male, it's funny how my mom had 3 girls, I have 2 girls and now my sister has 1 girl on the way). She had a name picked out already...Lillian Rose. And she'd like her to be called "Lilly". I already bought her a cute little outfit. I can't resist. I love baby clothes and for my niece, I'd buy the world.

My best friend found out she is having two boys!! I guessed right with her. For some reason she had no morning sickness and everything seemed so laid back that I thought it had to be boys. My girls always made me so sick and when she was pregnant with her daughter, she was sick too. This time nothing...so I figured it had to be boys. So, her family will have 3 princes and one princess. Her daughter will be one very protected little girl!!

Well, I'm off to bed. I've come down with a small cold and a huge headache and I need to get off of this computer and get some rest.

I hope all you Mom's out there have a wonderful Mommy's Day!! We have no plans so far, but I'm sure we will be visiting both of our moms sometime throughout the day.

I did have other things to post

I need to write this on the blog before I forget all about it...

On Wednesday, May 2nd, Morgan rolled over from her belly to her back. Yes, at almost 14 months, she finally did it!! She can roll over from her back to her belly in her crib because she has assistance of the rails, but it is so frustrating, because she won't roll herself back over and then she screams until we go and turn her on her back again. The other day it took me 1.5 hours before she finally fell asleep for her nap because of this.

Therapy is still going well, although the therapist is NOT happy with her butt scoot. She said that if she continues to do that for a long period of time, the bone growth in her knees and hips will grow funny and she will have problems in the future. I'm a little nervous about what she said, but I really don't know how to stop her from butt scooting. She's perfected it very well and can get anywhere fast now. We are working on giving her tummy time a LOT during the day, but she gets pissed if I prevent her from moving around the room now. The PT says that there isn't much you can do about it, but we just need to get her focused on the rolling over, and transitioning from sitting to standing, pulling herself up on stuff, so she can work on walking. And that is what we are trying to do, but I can't be on her all day. I've got to get things done and I do have another child to look after too, so it's tough to give my 100% focus on Morgan.

My birthday

Last Thursday was my birthday. My first 29th birthday.

It really wasn't all that exciting. I had a PT appt for Morgan in the morning. Then I went to work for 5 hours, where a girl in my office bought me cookies. Ordered take away from Outback, came home, ate. Then my dad and my in-laws came over and we had cake. Gary had got me a happy birthday precious moment and a gift card to get my hair and nails done.

Today we are having our best friends over and my sister and her boyfriend over for a cookout. Nothing too big.

Speaking of my sister and best friend. They both get to find out the sex of their babies this week!! I can't even believe that it is time for that already. Their pregnancies are flying by. We started to discuss my sisters baby shower and we've set the date for August 5th. And I'm going to throw my best friend a little diaper shower in the beginning of July. I figured she's going to need all the extra diapers she can get with two babies on the way! This summer seems like it is totally planned out for me and it really hasn't even begun.
