Back on Track!!

Hello there! So it is about time that I got back on track with my blog, considering we have a little girl on the way Friday and I will be one busy mommy and want to make sure to document everything happening in our lives. Things are pretty exciting in the Campo household this week. Mom/Grandma from New York flies in this evening and Joey's baby sister/our little girl will be here on Friday by 1pm. Although, I am not thrilled that I have to have another c-section, it will be great to finally meet this little jelly bean that has been doing flips in my tummy for the last 9 months! I can't wait to see what she will look like and to introduce her to Joey. I know he is going to be such a great big brother!

My nerves are just starting to kick in now that my work load has slowed down (taking some time away from my orders). Although I have been through one c-section with my son, Joey I am still nervous to have another. I just pray that everything goes well and that we come home with a healthy, beautiful baby girl!

As for work, I still have about four orders to complete but these will be on hold for a week or so...because I need a break and want to make sure every minute is spent with my two men and our little princess. Check back, because I will be sure to post photos.

Guess What....Were Having Another Baby!

So great news, but a little late posting it on here. We found out about two months ago that we are having baby #2. Boy did it take a while to find out too. I knew that I was pregnant, but after being 3 weeks late and still getting negative test after negative test...I began to wonder if I was wrong. After taking about 10 test (from the dollar store), I gave it a break for about a week. I then took another (dollar store test) and the second line came out very faint, so I decided to wait until the next morning to take a super strong test. The next morning it came back positive again!

I knew it, I knew I was pregnant! Well then it came time to go to the doctor and confirm it. Went to the doctor confirmed pregnancy (6 weeks according to the doctor and my menstral cycle), then it was time to schedule a first ultrasound. I was so excited to see how this little one compared to Joey. Let me just tell you...I didn't see a thing. They pulled up the ultrasound on the big screen in front of me and nothing was coming up. They told me I was definitly pregnant, but they weren't sure as to how far along I was because there was no baby.

Needless to say, I was devastated...I thought for sure something was wrong and thought for sure I was 6 weeks. So therefore, I had to go through some more blood work...and then another ultrasound was scheduled. Finally, the second ultrasound there was something. There was a little peanut in there! I was so relieved...for over two weeks I worried that something was wrong...but there it was right in front of me on the big screen a little peanut growing inside of me.

We are so excited for the miracle of this little one! We can't wait to see how Joey and this little one will be together. We have been trying to explain to Joey that there is a baby in mommy's belly and he finally gets the concept. He is always wanting to kiss the baby, so he is always kissing mommy's belly...it is the cutest thing.

Well here are some photos of baby #2 in the making...

Halloween 2009

So this is my son's third Halloween...and to be honest I think it was one of the best thus far. My husband decided earlier this week that our son's costume would be a BUM/Hobo...but of course, I had to make it...lol! But there was really nothing much too it. I started with a tea-stained t-shirt that I rubbed mustard and A-1 sauce stains on, then a pair of camo pants that I ripped holes in and cut one of the legs off of with a star fabric patch on the butt of the pants, cut holes in the toes of some old shoes, cut the finfures off some old gloves, and finished it off with a cardboard box sign hanging around his neck that said "Why lie I need Candy". Everyone got a kick out of the costume and loved the sign. And my husband and I were both really surprised that he left the sign, hat, and gloves on the whole night.

We went from house to house to house. He had such a blast. All he kept saying was, "More Candy, More Candy." His bucket was so full and so heavy that he was dragging it on the ground by the end of the night...lol! All in all he had a blast and we had a blast!

The only thing that stunk about the night was that we had to go through and check all his candy. My husband said, "You know it's sad, when I was a kid I ate whatever was in my bucket on Halloween...now we have to go through and make sure our kids candy is safe." I was like that is so true...it is sad that really some people just can't be trusted these days.

But he did enjoy a huge sucker when we got home..lol!

Village Venture Craft Event

So this past weekend, I had the opportunity to travel to the cute little town of Claremont, California for the Village Venture Craft Show with my friend and fellow crafter Rochelle. We had a blast driving up there, setting up, and spending the day in beautiful California. We also took a trip to the world famous Ikea (my first time)...and let me just say I fell in love with the place.

The weekend went well! A lot of people, beautiful weather...couldn't ask for anything better.

Here are a few shots of our booth.

Custom Orders are the BEST!

This week I have been busy with over 3 custom orders! I love custom orders, it is so great to come up with something new. I have been covered in glue up to my armpits and paper up to my head...lol! Not to mention all the paint that I am still trying to clean out from under my finger nails.

I have had such a great time with these custom orders. I have also been working on some sample wedding invitations for a friend that I graduated from high school with.

I feel like super mom and super crafter this week, but no complaints...I love staying busy.

Here are the frames that I have been working on for a customer for a bachlorette party photo.






And here are some of the samples of the wedding invitations...although I made like 8 different samples.
