25 Days of Giveaways - Day 18!

Hello! Hello! Welcome to my contribution to the 25 Days of Giveaways!
First, I have to say a BIG Thank You to Tina at Living without Sophia and Ellie for putting this all together, you are amazing and it has been GREAT to connect with so many other baby lost mammas and blogs that I had yet to come accross!
For my giveaway I have this ornament!
I found it at a local shop and it had a bow tied to the bottom but I decided I would change it up a bit so I added a crystal and two charms. One charm says love in English on one side and has the Chinese symbol on the the other side. The other charm is a frame.
In the ornament I did for myself I placed an extra tiny picture of the girls in the frame and if you would like I will do the same for you or if you would prefer I will place your angle baby(ies) names in the frame. But I can work that all out with the winners!
Yes that's right I said winners! In honor of my Birthday this coming Friday I decided that I would giveaway two! Mr.K made me promise to let him help so we will put all of the names in a hat late tonight and he will draw the winners! All you need to do to enter is leave a comment!
I wish you all the best of Luck and Thank You for stopping by! Make sure you visit Tina's Blog tomorrow and find out where to go next! And I'm sorry for the quality of the pictures, I took them on my phone because after an hour of trying I could not get the camera to cooperate!

I have no interest in doing laundry today! I need to do some work, but I don't want to do that either! I want to sit here on the couch and just be. So I thought I would upload some Thanksgiving pictures...
Maggie got a new toy...it is her new favorite!
Maggie doing her best to look extra cute for the camera. Cousin Daisy Dog...letting us see how well she can behave after her schooling!Maggie and Daisy, who are bestest friends, playing with the new toy! They ran all around the yard just like this for over an hour!
And yes there were people at our Thanksgiving but there aren't any pictures of them...go figure!

Texas Weather

It has been a strange week for weather in this part of Texas. The Sunday after Thanksgiving it was hot and pretty and we took Maggie to the beach with her best cousin dog Daisy...which was tons of fun!

Then Friday we had snow, yes I said SNOW! It was crazy...and sadly the only pictures I managed to take were with my cell phone, so the quality is...horrible!

Saturday was gorgeous and then yesterday it was cold and rainy all day and we just hung around the house most of the day and Maggie looked like this...

But then this morning it is warm and muggy! Go figure that's Texas weather for you!

I am really hoping for snow again! I love snow and sadly live in a place that gets very little of it, even though we have had snow 3 times in the past 5 years! But I am looking forward to the holidays even if I am getting a little stressed out about buying presents. I love to buy presents but at the same time I freak out a bit about spending money...go figure!

I hoping to get the Christmas trees for the girls decorated tonight, they are up just not decorated. I hate that they aren't decorated yet but I want Mr. K and I to do it together and for some reason we just haven't found the right time to do it yet! But it is happening tonight...END.OF.STORY!

Well I better get of this computer and get some laundry done! Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Where did November Go?

As I am sitting here eating my breakfast this morning I realized today is the last day of November! How did it fly bye so quickly that I barely noticed? And I know that the rest of the year is going to pass in a whirlwind!
We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving, I can't tell you how much I love Mr.K's family! Not that I don't love my family too but there is something about his family...they are so laid back and casual and fun! I loved having them all here on Thursday and I kept myself so busy that I really didn't have a chance to be sad about missing the girls. Although I really did miss them especially with my brothers son, baby horse, he is just so cute and so happy that it made me miss them even that much more.
We finally got our tree set up last night and somehow I am all of the sudden looking forward to Christmas and the New Year. I think part of it is I am really looking forward to closing the door on this year and I am looking forward to all the possibilities that I am hoping next year will bring!
Any way I am hoping to be a better poster threw the end of the year and especially next year, I have been really bad at posting regularly and I had such bigger hopes for myself when I started blogging this year.
Also one last note, if you are a Baby Lost Momma make sure you are heading over to Tina's Blog every day to see where the 25 Days of Give Aways is Today! So you can enter to win something from one of your BLM friends.

Maggie and Her Dinner!

Apparently Maggie thought she didn't get enough in her bowl tonight...

But don't worry the bag was all but empty! Who knew all we needed was a food bag for her to play with, we could have saved all that money we spent on toys!

Movies Lately

Mr. K and I watch a LOT of movies! And we are not all that picky about the movies, we will give just about anything a chance. Last week we saw Marley and Me, which I know we saw at the theater last year, but I don't remember it...even though I have the ticket stubs! So as we are sitting here watching, tears well up in my eyes while they are at the OB's office. I felt so bad for them, and yes latter I really cried about it, but that is another story.
So then yesterday we saw UP, which was adorable! And totally unexpectedly I found my self crying during the little montage when you realize they can't have children, I never thought I would see that in a "kids" movie but it there it was! Then Ellie is sitting in the yard, not sure what to do and just feeling the sun on her face! So now I know it is not just me that has done that, and somehow I don't feel so bad about sitting out there anymore! If I need to do it...I will!
So to my real point...
Is it just me or is infertility/pregnancy loss showing up more? Is it becoming more mainstream? If so, it breaks my heart a little bit. I don't wish infertility or pregnancy loss on anyone, not even my "arch nemesis". It hurts and it is hard! And I don't know anyone in this situation that's heart doesn't break every time they hear of someones loss. So then I wonder if somehow those people that so many of us have trouble dealing with, will start to understand how we are feeling and that we are not crazy and too just leave us alone! I sure hope they get the message! It really would make my daily life just a little easier!

Just a couple thoughts, I know I am rambling! And I hope I didn't spoil anything for any of you!

Long Time No Post

Wow! Has it really almost been a month since I posted? I guess it has! First I was sick and then both computers were sick, one due to a virus and one due to Maggie and her jaws of death! After that I worked like a million hours in one week and now I have a concussion! Let me tell you it has been a crazy couple of weeks! I am so ready for things to slow down but I know there is no end in sight, at least not until after the Holidays!

Oh the Holidays, are you here already? Last year they snuck up on me and I really didn't want anything to do with them. Mr. K and I had planned for it to be low key seeing as Dr. R had decided that he would induce me the week before Thanksgiving, alas we never made it that far.

All I wanted to do when those days got here was lie in bed, and I did...which is why we nearly missed Mr.K's family Thanksgiving! So this year we have "bravely" decided to host Thanksgiving at our house for Mr. K's family. And truthfully I am really looking forward to it.

See I absolutely LOVE being a hostess! I love all the planning and prepping and cleaning and shopping and everything, it makes me feel like me again! The old happy me. This me...

So I have vowed to immerse myself in the planning and prepping and to think happy, Very HAPPY, thoughts!
