It's been a while, to say the least. A lot has happened, obviously. I mean, a lot.
September 10th I started having contractions. They were initially 10-15 minutes apart. We immediately started driving to the hospital the minute they started and by the time we got there, 45 minutes later, they were 3-5 minutes apart. They prepped me for labor, and to make a SUPER long story short, they stopped labor a few times and I spent the next 4 weeks in the hospital until I gave birth to our little turd on October 5th. We induced around 11pm on the 4th, I went into active labor at 5:20am on the 5th and had her at 5:37am. You read that right. I only pushed 17 minutes. It was glorious. She was 9lbs 8oz. Chunky. I know. But so adorable.
I plan on posting a MUCH more detailed birth story, but at this point, I'm casually working on it. Someday it will see the light.
For right now, my focus is doing Christmas on a shoestring budget. When I say shoestring, I mean nearly non existent. So I'm moving this in another direction, which is taking diy ideas I've found on Pinterest and trying to make them happen.
I think it's important for everyone to know that 99% of what I've tried from Pinterest has failed. Miserably. Most of my conquests have been food, so we'll see how my crafty side works.
