The error
I have had problems getting the blog caught up. First we were having problems with our main computer. Then I tried to blog on my older one, but then I had reached my "picture limit." And my computer system was to old to update the internet explorer so that I could purchase the google plan in order to increase the pictures. Basically it has been a lot of fun. We got the other laptop working again and now I can update. So sorry these are late. Though there isn't very many pictures of things going on because most of my time has gone to painting and work.

Sleep and painting
I haven't had many fun things going on or many blogs as we are working on our house. My landlord retextured all of our walls and we are now painting all of them. This means that everything is in the center of every room. It is quite a disaster area. But since my sweet little girl is wide awake right now, I might as well write down some thoughts at 4:30 in the morning.
Yesterday when I went to get her from her nap, I open the door and she is waving her hand in front of her face and making a disgusted face. I asked her if she was poopy and she said yes. Sure enough she needed a diaper change. Sometimes after she poops she will bring me a diaper to let me know she needs to be changed.
Changing to a big girl bed has been a tough road of less sleep. She was such a great sleeper in the crib but I would also let her cry herself back to sleep. So she learned of go back to sleep fairly quickly. Well the new found freedom of being able to get up out of bed has made it interesting. What also made it interesting is she knows how to open all of our doors and is tall enough to be able to do it. So I have had to put a child proof handle on the inside of her door so she can't get out. I am trying to get it so she will learn to get herself back to sleep and not end up in my bed every night. So tonight at about 4 I hear her crying. I go in as she tries to open her door toilet her know it is still night time and she needs to go back to bed. But she asks to rock. She looked at me and said "rock, rock" so I rocked her for a few minutes but then laid her down. It is so hard and I may be a mean mom but we need to get this figured out before mister Drew gets here. Anyway she has been crying on and off for awhile. But it is so cute when she comes up to her door and I can hear her knocking on it trying to get me to open it. Usually she calls for me as well. But tonight I keep hearing her call for her dad. She must have given up on me as a lost cause.
Last week after she had calmed down and gone to sleep I had gone in and checked other, she had taken her pajamas off. Silly girl.
The good news. It has been way less time of crying tonight then it was last time, and way less then last week.

School Picture
Look at how cute this girl is! I can't believe how big she is. This is her 2nd grade picture.
It took us forever to get them. The first time they were sent home it was the wrong kid. So then she did the make up pictures. We finally figured out that they were sitting in her desk. She is not the best at bringing things home sometimes.
As a side note, it is a little early, but we have her baptism preview on Sunday. She will be eight in June but they do it for the whole year and want to do it before the crazy of the holiday.
Last week
We had some fun this last week. However, I did not do a good job of taking any pictures. Last Friday, Danniqa had her friend Bridget over. We made pilgram hats out of cookies, chocolate and marshmallows and some fudge. They loved it. We love having Bridget over to play.
Also on Friday I had my three hour glucose test. I found out on Monday that my glucose test came back normal! YEAH! So we don't have to worry about that. I am starting to see the Dr. every other week now. I am 30 weeks. At 34 weeks I will have another ultrasound and I will start having non stress test. So we are doing okay at this point.

Dr. Appointment
On Monday I had a doctor's appointment and an ultrasound.
The ultrasound went great. Little Man is doing really well. I got to see his brain, kidneys, stomache, and legs. They measured him and he his growing well and my amniotic fluid looked great.
Then I went upstairs. I had a glucose test and an iron test, then my blood pressure and met with the doctor. My glucose was high, my iron was low and my blood pressure was high. Basically none of that was great. So on Friday I go in for a three hour glucose test. Praying that it comes back okay as I was just barely over the earlier one. I am working on getting my iron down and I think my blood pressure went up because I had just been told about the glucose and iron. So we will see what happens.
The good news... Baby Drew is looking good.

Scrapbooking
I normally do all of my scrapbooking through memorymixer.com. I have their program and I love the way the pages and books turn out. I also love that when I am done the pages can be safed as jpgs and taken into other programs. I have made a Family History book for Kevin's family. It is about 50 pages. This is expensive to purchase most of the time. However, I was very excited to get an email from snapfish with a deal going on right now. If you print one book it is 40% off, 2 books 50% off and 3 books 70%. So in order to print out the five I needed it would have been over $300. Instead with the price of books plus shipping and handling.....$120. YAY! Anyway, very excited! Here are a few of the pages from my book. There pictures of Greg growing up, Karen growing up, pages on each of the kids, family pictures through the years, then picture of the families now, pictures of grandparents and great-grandparents and of the homes they have lived in. Merry Christmas!
Big girl Bed
With our little man coming in a few months we needed to look at moving Jana to a big girl bed. We had a trundle bed that is easy for her to get on and off and is safe for her. So we moved it into her room on Thursday, Nov 1st. That first nap time was MISERABLE! She did not do well at all. Though over that past two days things have gone so much better. She for the most part is staying in her bed. When she gets up I tell her to get back into her bed and she does so. I also got her a white noise machine so that she isn't hearing so much and trying to get out of her room to see what is going on. My little girl is getting so big!
