Since I live in the snowiest city in the US I figured I would do a review on some awesome winter boots I just bought.  Because I have to shovel every day, sometimes twice today I had to find templates that are waterproofed warm and comfortable.  Walking around our city we often need to make sure our feet are covered.  I have a pair of UGGs and they simply are not waterproof so my feet were getting wet despite the use of the water resistant spray I put on them so I ended up purchasing a pair of Columbia boots and took those back because they did not keep my feet warm.  I went to a local store here and found a pair of warm waterproof boots and they're actually comfortable.  The brand is called Bogs.

  I was a little hesitant because they were not my usual style and they had flowers on them. The salesman told me they could be worn up to -40° and they were waterproof so that caught my attention.  Once I tried them on I found there were comfortably snug on my feet and they were not very heavy at all. So I ended up purchasing them and it was the best purchase I've made on boots.  Here is their website so you could check it out and browse around.  I highly recommend them since I do live in the #1 snowiest cities in the US.  https://m.bogsfootwear.com/s/43481/Product?productId=%2Fshop%2Fstyle%2F71408-303.html&category=Women

6 month update

It's been 6 months since baby Zac was born and he has brough such joy to our lives. I can't believe I asm still nursing him too, it's awesome! He is such a good baby now and loves his family. When ever he sees his sister he smiles at her. She adores him too. He seems to be teething now as he chews on everything, is a bit fussy and has 2 white spots on the bottom gum. They are going to push through any day now. I should probably go to bed since history proves that when I go to bed to late I am grumpy, late for work, and justy crabby! Hopefully this work week won't be so bad, (fingers crossed). It's been a crazy month and hard to believe that I won't be working past June 30th either. I have worked since I was 16 and losing my job is very surreal to me right now but once it gets closer I am sure the realization will kick in. I will be starting school in the beginning of June.

Updating

Well Zac is almost 5 months now. He will be on the 18th and is now exploring his feet and it's so cute. He lays on his back and grabs his little toes and now has something new to explore. He is such a good boy but has a short attention span. i have to constantly change what he's doing so he doesn't get bored. I would like to update more but this is good for now. Hopefully I will be able to update more.

good one

Ode to my Kidney

Well on 12/2/10 I went into the emergency room with the worst pain I ever had on my lower back on the left side. Turns out I have a kidney stone, the first one ever! The doctor said it is about 3mm and I should pass it. Well, 5 days later it still has not passed and I am still waiting! Here is the CT scan of this not so lovely bastard! You see the little white dot on the right side of the picture? That's it and they say its in the ureter right about to go into the bladder. I hope this thing moves quick because I don't want this to be in here forever!!

Waiting

Waiting for my Christmas cards from shutterfly to come I'm so excited!

Sleepy.....

Well it's 2:42am and zac is finally winding down and hopefully on his last feeding. All he wants to do is nurse and he's so jumpy. I hope he goes to bed soon.

Photo memories

I have been using Shutterfly for the past few years now and love the photo Christmas cards: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards I just made some to send to friends and family this year and they look great! I can’t wait until they come in the mail. In the past I have made photo books but have yet to create a calendar http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/desk-calendars They do look pretty neat though. I might do one for a gift some day. Birth announcements are always a great idea too http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/birth-announcements Why not send out great looking cards for a fraction of the cost from a photographer? I think Shutterfly is great and the shipping is pretty fast too. I have used them for quite a few years now and when I give pictures as gifts, the recipients love them so much and thought I spent a fortune. Of course I did not tell them the cost but for what it’s worth, photos are priceless!
I will continue to use Shutterfly for years to come because they make such great products and gift giving is so easy! The best thing is that you don’t have to leave your home and everything is mailed right to your door. If you don’t believe me, try it out for yourself and I think you will love them too!

busy busy busy

Baby Zac sure is busy at night. I have a feeling he is going to be just like Zoe and be up all night and sleep all day. He is definitely squished in there, sometimes seems like he is trying to kick his way out of my belly button! Definitely getting bigger that's for sure. You are estimated about 6 pounds 2 weeks ago. I suppose we might see how much you have grown this week. I am keeping positive for my VBAC and am very hopeful this will happen. My goal is to have a not so painful labor and to do alot of relaxing.

Moving around

Baby Zac is a mover and a shaker! Not much longer now and I have been feeling pretty good, just can't walk as fast as I used to LOL!
