Merry Christmas! 

So now Kamden is 8 months old! He's crawling around trying to pull up and eats a lot!  I've been having a lot of headaches lately so I sleep when he sleeps! I always get a little stressed around the holidays.  Well I have been making bows and love it.  I also make small blankets for babies.  I'm not really trying to sale a lot but I do get a few people that do love my bows.  

I got back into my calligraphy and I am about to start drawing again.  I just would like to draw a portrait of Kamden.  

Well Christmas shopping has been done for a while.  Not looking forward to it.  More looking forward to New Years! Have a few friends over have a bon fire and rotel dip woohoo! And maybe True Blood marathon.  

Oh well I'm going for now it's Lasagna night!

Couponing is Rewarding!

I finally got my binder!!!! It's so pretty. I have most of my coupons in it. There isn't much more to add. I am really excited about trying to save money to help provide for my family.
We are now receiving the newspapers at the house on Sundays. Hopefully they will send me last Sunday's also like they said so I can get the good coupons I miss!

Thats the only thing I hate about our newspaper. You pay full price at the supermarket but you may not get all the coupons. However our Newspaper will send you more than one paper to your house if you request it!

So I'm set to go to WalMart and get some free toothpaste this week.

Lack of Sleep

No one told me motherhood was easy. I never expected to be. I hate the fact I am so far away from my parents. I hate the fact that all these people promised me they would help me if I needed it and when I need it they are not there!
I would drop everything to help a friend in need. I cannot count how many times a friend would say I need and I would give if I had it. Now when I say I need no one is around. Whats worse is the people that asked me over and over again for help that I helped, are no where to be found.
Kamden is doing great now! He was colic and he's teething, so that means constant crying. Jeremy couldn't help because he's trying to bring the money in and I won't ask him because he is so tired.
So where are they now? I have a messy house... Laundry to be done... Food that needs to be cooked?!?!?!
I offer a cookout and no one shows up? I guess they know I'm going to ask them to hold Kamden for me and talk to him. He is so cute why would you say no?
Needless to say my feelings have been hurt. Because I really thought I was starting a family and making REAL friends. Instead I have to deal with the people that use me again.
I hate this gypsy blood running through my veins. If I could take Kamden with me we would be on that road... It would be Jeremy, Kamden and I just going as fast as we can trying to make that money. Seeing the sunrise in Oklahoma and chasing it as far as we could to California.

I wouldn't trade Kamden for the world and I do miss it out there. I wish she would quit calling my name.

9 lbs 7 ozs and 23 inches

Kamden is watching the mobiles and smiling at me when i talk to him. He coos and trys to talk too! We had to change his formula last week so now I am making adjustments to this too. We do not get powdered formula anymore because we are on nutimagin.

Little man got his shots yesterday so he's a little fussy still. But he's doing good.

Kamden Dean

This say's it all...Our little Angel!

A Mother's Love

Well Kamden has been home for a few weeks now. It's amazing how much your love can be renewed when a new member of the family has been added. Jeremy is an AMAZING FATHER! He tries so hard to take care of Kamden. He loves to feed him and hold him and he gets all teared eyed when Kamden falls asleep on his chest. Despite all the drama that everyone else is trying to put in our life our love has grown stronger. I can't wait for whats to come next....

Pain Relief

Making Rice packs... Rice, fabric, and a sewing machine... PAIN RELIEF... Sew some fabric together and put rice in it.

I was hurting really bad one day while I was at my friend Cathy's house and she introduced me to the world of rice packs. The great thing about the rice packs is that its moist heat.
I had some fabric I had bought from Hancock Fabrics and I was going to try to make a quilt but with the smaller sewing machine it's a little hard to do that so I just sewed them together to make this.

Casserole Night

We started with a salad tonight. Jeremy ate one too but he wanted cooked mushrooms. He helped me put dinner together. I love it when he helps me make a meal.
So romaine lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, and a little chesse. Topped with Cesar dressing. MMMMM.
So the casserole is one that I've made before. Its on the back of the stove top stuffing box. You mix one can of cream of mushroom soup, a half a can of milk, one package of frozen broccoli, chicken (cut into cubes) and a box of stuffing. You make the stuffing and mix everything else together in a casserole pan. Oh and add about a cup and a half of cheese in the casserole pan too. Top it with the stove top then put it in the oven at 400 degrees till chicken is done. Makes great for the next day too.

Other than cooking... I've been really tired these last few days. I slept most of the day yesterday and went to bed around 9:30 and slept till 6am when I had to take Jeremy to work. I couldn't sleep earlier this morning so I laid down after taking a long warm bath about noon. I slept till 2:45 then went and got Jeremy from work.

I can't wait till the baby shower. I'm just really excited to see everyone. I really can't wait till Kamden gets here. Only 10 more weeks to go!

Mother Crocheter!

Ok I give I have no clue what my soon-to-be child is doing right now but it feels like he's breathing down there. He's pushing in and I breath in and as I breath out he pushes down?!?!? OmG lol. So I have been crocheting like crazy these past few weeks. These were two items I made for Amanda who is expecting a little girl next month I think. Well she loved them alot and I am happy. That is like the best moment for me when someone really likes the gift you made them.
So my future cousin called and said hey I have this photographer friend that needs something made can you help. I look at the project and say sure. Its this cool looking cocoon swing thing for baby. ----> It looks really cool!!!! The only problem is we didn't make enough money this week for me to buy new yarn to complete it. So I am hoping that I have enough white yarn to do this project. If not I will have to work like a mad woman next Thursday to make it and mail it to her.
She has a photo shoot thing in a few weeks and wants it then.
But it's totally cool I think I will have enough yarn to do it. And then I am hopefully able to get some camo yarn to make Kamden (baby) an awesome baby afghan. See crocheting like a mad woman...

So on another note SUPER EXCITED about the baby shower next month. I can't wait. I know a lot of people won't be there, because hello I kind of moved away. However, the people that do come I know we will have fun.

On that note I'm about to go to bed. My friend is coming over tomorrow to help with the garage door and he's going to be here early. Well 8:30 but still I have to get up in the morning.

Kamden Dean Henderson-Dennis

He has his little arm up on his left side. It was so amazing to see his face like that. Did see his little boy part too so we know for sure its a boy.
I'm 28 weeks now 29 tomorrow. Im really excited because on 11 weeks are left and I feel like Im not ready. We have so much to do. Painting the room and preparing the baby's room. I have a crib to set up and make. I have a changing table to stock up.
I have to get some laundry soap for the baby's clothes and wash all the clothes that I have so far.
The baby shower is on the 12th of February and I'm excited to see who will be there.
Jeremy is getting excited too. He's been able to feel the baby more. So I hope he is excited about the baby as I am.

I have been going to class more. My nurse is coming to see me again. Thank God she is feeling better. I missed talking to her about baby stuff. She's going to help me get my maternity bag ready for the hospital.

It's a boy!

Went to Dr. Dyess' today. I had my ultrasound and for sure it's a boy we can see the little part now.

We are going to be going to the doctor's office every two weeks now. Oh boy that means it's getting closer to time for him to be here.

So the soon to be new addition to the family will be Kamden Dean Henderson!
