Two simple projects

10:07 AM Posted In , , , Edit This 0 Comments »
This weekend I made two of my many many projects.  The first was a Christmas decoration.  I really like how it turned out but I want to find a cute tray to put them on so it looks "complete".  So the project is technically not done.  Here is the tutorial.  After the wine bottles were primed it only took a few minutes to finish!  Super cheap and easy!



My next project seriously took less than 5 minutes.  I was tired of looking at a stupid plastic cheap soap bottle and I absolutly love mason jars so I made a soap dispenser out of a mason jar!  Such a cute idea.  Here is the tutorial for this project.  I didn't have the old fashion zinc top but I still think they turned out pretty cute.  :)  Another super cheap and easy project (the easiest so far)!


 

Missing You

6:57 PM Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Three years ago today I lost the most incredible, careing, funny, giving person I know, my dad.  It was by far the worst day of my life.  Since then I've had the two best days of my life and he has missed out on those days - the day I married my best friend and the day I had Remy.  It breaks my heart that he missed out on those days and that he won't see his grandson grow up.  There are still days that I think of something he would have thought was funny and I instantly think to call him and not even a second later I realize I can't.  The pain never goes away, you just find a way to get through it easier.

 I sure miss you dad!  I would give anything to have you back.  But I know you are looking down on us and are proud of the family you raised.








Button Art

Gosh I love Pinterest, I find so many cute ideas!!  I think I am finally finished with Remy's nursery.  It finally feels "complete".  Here is my last project to complete the nursery (well I cannot guarantee that it's the last project for the nursery...). 


There was no tutorial for this.  When I found it on Pinterest it just gave me a link to the etsy seller.  It just looked so easy so I figured out how to make my own.  Pretty simple... I just used fabric glue to glue fabric onto canvas and used a hot glue gun to add the buttons.  Then I glued the ribbon to the back.  Easy peasy.

Black Friday!!

11:56 AM Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »
Black Friday shopping was a success!  It was hard to leave Remy for that long and it was the first time we needed a babysitter.  But I think we did ok.  I didn't freak out too much and Remy spent some quality time with his Grandma Rita. 

 Our shopping started out at Target at 5:00 a.m.  I couldn't believe how dead it was in there!  I hate how they have ruined Black Friday by opening up the night before.  Part of the fun is the rush of people.  Oh well, it was nice not sitting in line to check out.  I bought lots of good stuff for Remy.  Lots of what I bought he can't use for another year or two but he will enjoy them eventually.  Menards always has tons of good deals and I bought my Winston 10 huge dog bones.  Seems like a lot but I saved a ton of money.  I should have bought even more...

Spoiled much?


I think Winston's bones are a little bit bigger than Vader's, don't you think?


After Target and Menards we hit Fleet Farm (dud), JC Penney, Carters, Joanns and Kohls.  I got lots of great stuff and most of which was for Remy.  Quite the difference from the last few years.  It's so easy spending money on him!!

A Man's Birthday Cake

8:02 PM Posted In , , , Edit This 0 Comments »
So I wanted to make Phil something for his birthday.  I'm not a big fan of baking and I really didn't want cake around the house anyways.  So, I found a cute "cake" on pinterest made out of candy and soda (tutorial).  I decided to "man" it up a little more and made a cake out of beer and his favorite candy.  Here it is!


Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday to my wonderful hubby!!  The old fart turns 32 today.  I love him more and more as the years go by and even more so since we've had Remy.  He is such a good daddy!


Hooter Hider

5:38 PM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »
I invited my friend Loin over for a craft night the other night.  She brought her sewing machine on over and made some zipper pillows (I love the fabric she choose) and I made a hooter hider.  Here is the tutorial I used.  The only difference is that I didn't use the boning.  I hate having to use these things but when in public or when people are over it's necessary (for their comfort and mine).  So if I have to use one from time to time, might as well make it cute!!

Not Your Ordinary Bookshelves

9:36 AM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »
Another pinterest project finished!  Remy's nursery is looking more and more complete!  This project was soooo easy and much less expensive than buying bookshelves.  And it's much cuter!  Just a tiny bit of easy-peasy sewing, a few screws in the wall and walla!  Here is a link to the tutorial I used (gotta give credit where credit is due)!!  Now I just need to fill it with books.  :)

Finished product:




Yum!

Part of me did not want to try this recipe so I've been putting it off for a few weeks.  The reason being is I'm supposed to be on some sort of "diet" to loose the baby weight.  I decided to treat myself anyway.  They are pretty delicious and super easy to make.  :)

Before baking:


All done!




 
2 small tubes refrigerator buttermilk biscuits OR 1 tube Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1/2 C. syrup
1/3 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 C. chopped pecans, optional
1/4 C. chopped almonds, optional

Spray a fluted pan with non-stick spray. Combine the melted butter and syrup in a small bowl and set aside. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts (if desired).

Place about half of the syrup mixture in the bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top.

Lay the biscuits on the bottom of the pan, overlapping edges (closely together) to form a ring.

Top with remaining syrup and sugar mixtures.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool for 1 minute in the pan, then invert onto a serving platter and enjoy!

Mexican Stuffed Shells

7:09 AM Posted In , , Edit This 1 Comment »
While on maternity leave I thought I'd try a few new recipes since I have the time.  I actually don't mind cooking after being home all day taking care of Remy.  It's a nice break in the day.  Phil comes home and hangs with Remy while I cook (not that I want to cook dinner every single night).  Last night I made Mexican Stuffed Shells.  It was freaking delicious!






Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 package low-sodium taco seasoning
4 oz. cream cheese
14-16 jumbo pasta shells
1.5 cup salsa
1 cup taco sauce
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 cup monterey jack cheese
3 green onions
Sour cream


Preheat oven to 350°.

In a frying pan cook ground beef; add taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions.  Add cream cheese, cover and simmer until cheese is melted. Blend well. Set aside and cool completely.  While ground beef is cooking, cook the pasta shells according to directions; drain. Set shells out individually on cutting board/baking sheet so that they don’t stick together.

Pour salsa on bottom of 9×13 baking dish.  Stuff each shell with the meat mixture. Place shells in 9×13 pan open side up. Cover shells with taco sauce.  Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, add shredded cheese and bake for 10-15 more minutes, with the foil removed.  Top with any condiments you’d like (green onions, black olives, etc.) Serve with sour cream and/or more salsa.

Forgot to Mention...

7:52 AM Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »
I forgot to mention that I started a blog for Remy.  Instead of keeping a baby book I decided to keep a blog to track how fast he's growing, learning, etc.  It's mostly for me and Remy but if you'd like to read about my boy here it is!

DIY Changing Table Pad Covers

10:28 AM Posted In , , , Edit This 3 Comments »
Project #1 on my new sewing machine was changing table pad covers.  Who wants to look at the ugly pad or spend $20+ on a plain boring one at the store?  Not I!  I got the tutorial for how to make the covers here.  This is not the first tutorial I have used from this blogger!  Here's the finished product:


The fabric (which I found at Joann's):


I also made a 2nd cover out of this monkey fabric:
 

This sewing project was so easy and didn't take long at all!  I didn't time it or anything but I know it took me less than an hour to make.  :-)

The Big 27

12:06 PM Posted In , , , Edit This 1 Comment »
Yesterday was my 27th birthday.  The hubby had to work so as he was leaving he woke me up and asked me if I wanted to get up and open my present.  I told him I was too tired to move so he said it would be on the table and that he wanted to give it to me right away because I might want to use it.  I was stumped.  What would I want that I would use right away?  Well, it wasn't long after Phil left that Remy decided he was hungry so I got up and under a blanket (yes, under a blanket - what Phil calls "wrapping") was a brand new sewing machine!  I was so excited!!!  He knew I was going to be sewing that day.  So, Phil's mom can finally have her sewing machine back because I finally have my own!!  Whoot whoot!  And Phil topped it off with a DQ ice cream cake!  My favorite!!!!!  

 


27 was one of my favorite birthdays thus far because I got to spend it with my favorite little guy.  I didn't realize until the day was halfway over that we matched.  :)


Poor me

8:57 AM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »
Having a baby really changes your body.  I'm sure you are all aware of that having had a baby or not.  As if having a stretched out stomach and still looking pregnant a month after having a baby isn't enough on the ego, I also have to deal with crazy hormones and looking like a teenager again.  My poor poor ego has sure taken a hit.  It didn't bother me as much right after I had Remy but as the days go by it's bothering me more and more.  I understand that my body will probably never be the same as what it was but I just want to get to the point where I'm comfortable with my body and I don't feel the need to hid out in my house and not let anyone over to see me.  It's just depressing...  However, I love my Remy more than life itself and if I had to stay in this body at its current state forever I would because he is worth it.

So, enough of the complaining, it's time to do something about it!  I attempted to start working out last week but it didn't go so well.  I got one day done and then got half way through the next day's workout and Remy started up.  Then the last few days have been really busy and I haven't found time to squeeze in my 1/2 hour workout.  I've also been eating pretty bad lately.  But tomorrow is my birthday and my goal is to start exercising at least 4 days a week and eat healther starting after my birthday.  So I guess I start on Thursday!

I thought that maybe if I wrote about my body issues and my goals I would stick with it.  I'm hoping by Thanksgiving I feel a lot better about myself and really really hoping that by Christmas I'll be "comfortable" with my body.  Maybe if I'm lucky I'll eventually fit into all my clothes again.  But I know that might be unrealistic.  Wish me luck!

Vent Day!

8:51 AM Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »
Well I took a few weeks off and now I'm ready to get back to blogging.  I'll have to find a way to get more crafty and find new things to blog about.  It feels like I have nothing to say because all I do these days is take care of my little guy.  But don't you worry, I'm sure I'll find something to yack about! 

On to vent day...

I must vent about my day yesterday.  I spent the entire day with a crabby patty and I had to cancel my plans with my friend because he was so not going to let us get out of the house.  Well I could have gone but he would have fussed the entire night.  He was up pretty much all day long (only had a few tiny tiny cat naps which is not normal for him) and he needed to eat constantly.  This was my day:  Feed, sooth cranky baby, change his butt, sooth cranky baby, feed, sooth cranky baby, change his butt (and this goes on for hours) then give him a bath, feed and finally he sleeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He must have been tired because he slept for almost 8 hours! 

My Growing Boy!

12:54 PM Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »
On Tuesday Remy had his 2 week check up.  First they weighed him and measured him.  Then he peed all over his momma and I swear he thought it was funny.  After being barfed on last night I have come to realize that I'm going to be peed, pooped, spit up and barfed on a lot in the near future.  Anyways, Remy's stats: 9lbs 13 oz and 22.5 inches.  Remy's growth percentiles: weight is in the 85-90%, height is 99-100% and head circumfrance is 99%.  He's such a big boy!!  I just love him to bits and pieces!  :)


Remy's Nursery

7:47 PM Posted In , , Edit This 2 Comments »
Remy's nursery:















I think I started Remy's nursery back in May.  The first thing I did was search for ideas online.  After we found out we were having a boy I decided on the "theme" and started my projects.  Picking a theme was the hardest part.  Did I want to go with an actual theme like elephants, birds, cars, etc.?  I decided that just wasn't for me.  So, I decided bright would be our theme.  I wanted all of the accents in his room to be colorful and fun.  Since there was going to be a lot of color here and there I decided to paint the room a neutral color.  And since my favorite neutral color is gray, that's what I chose.  I found a lady's blog where I stole a lot of ideas from.  This was my inspiration for Remy's nursery: inspiration.  

 After painting his room I started all of my random projects.  I copied my inspiration's fabric hoop idea and the only thing I really changed was that I painted my hoops white.

I also found an adorable wooden horse at a garage sale for $10 and one of my favorite things in my inspiration's nursery was the red painted horse.  So I copied that idea as well:



My next project was the curtains.  I searched and searched online for the perfect fabric that wouldn't cost me a fortune.  I didn't want anything to busy but it had to have color.  So I went with something simple in a bright light blue.  Sewing them took forever because they are lined but it was well worth it.  I love how they turned out.


My grandma really wanted to make Remy's mobile.  She is very crafty and I knew she would do an excellent job so I let her have her way with them.  I gave her my leftover fabric from the fabric hoops and told her I wanted hot air balloons.  This is what she came up with and I love it:

My last project was his name.  This had to be one of the last projects since we had to pick his name first!  But I knew all along that I was going to buy wooden letters and paint them each a separate bright color.


Technically his room is not 100% complete.  There are still a few small projects I want to do and there are a few items missing from his room that we just don't have yet.  But the jist of it is done and I am happy to share it with you all. :)

Remy's birth story

1:12 PM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »
The day we waited for for 41 weeks and 1 day finally came!  Since the little stinker didn't want to come out on his own I was induced on Monday morning.  We started the pitocin at 8:15 a.m. and 31 long hours later he was here!  Meet Remy Thomas Richard Kasinskas, the little boy who stole his mother's heart:


Waking up Monday morning I was a nervous wreck.  I wished so badly that Remy would come on his own and that I wouldn't have to be induced.  I think knowing that I was going to the hospital to be induced was what was making me so nervous.  I heard getting induced generally makes labor longer and makes your contractions more intense.  They started me on Pitocin at 8:15 a.m.  Around 5:30 p.m. the doctor came to break my water hoping to get things moving a little faster.  Apparently my cervix is way up in Alaska because he had a very difficult time breaking it and it hurt like a mother.  That's not something I'd like to experience again...  After he broke my water my contractions got stronger and some were on top of each other so I eventually got an epidural.  I don't remember exactly when but I think it was around 8 p.m.  After that it was a breeze until the epidural stopped working around 4 a.m.  This was the WORST part.  My contractions hurt like a mother and some were so close together I wouldn't get a break in between.  Man oh man, thinking of those contractions is painful enough.  After 4 hours and them giving me a new epidural I was back to not feeling the contractions.  That lasted for a little while and then stopped working once again.  Mother F!  So back to intense contractions.  While they contemplated other pain management options my body started to get the urge to push.  Apparently there was still a small lip of my cervix over the baby's head so they told me not to push otherwise it would swell up and get worse.  So I had to deal with the intense contractions and focus on not pushing at the same time.  After an hour or two of that the doctor finally said it was time to get the show on the road.  I was scared that pushing would be hard while having contractions but it actually felt much better to push.  After about an hour and a half of pushing and the ring of firery hell he finally came into the world!  Man, what an experience.  I was instantly attached.

 After he was out they ran all of their tests and thought his blood sugar was too low so they took him to the nursery for tests.  After 31 hours of labor and a few hours back and forth to the nursery he was all mine.  How is it possible to love someone soooo much?!  I'm so happy he's finally here and I'm thrilled to be his momma.  I could seriously just sit and stare at him all day.

Labor was definitely hard on my body.  I think because I was induced and it lasted 31 freaking hours it is taking longer to bounce back.  I'm finally starting to feel better and feel almost normal.  Well, normal minus the fact that nothing fits me because of this sexy belly.  But Remy is totally worth all the pain and junk in the trunk.

 Remy is exactly one week old today and things are going great.  He is such a good baby and is getting cuter by the minute.  How is that possible?  He is a very good eater.  I feel like I'm constantly feeding him.  He's a growing boy!  He seems to know his nights and days (I hope it stays like this) and he lets me sleep more than I thought I would.  Last night he slept for 7 whole hours without eating.  I woke up at 5:30 this morning and was worried because he hadn't cried yet and then I heard him cooing.  What a sweetheart.  I just hope he doesn't grow up too fast.

41 Weeks!

1:43 PM Posted In Edit This 1 Comment »
Well, I made it to 41 weeks...  I guess around 50% of babies decide to overstay their welcome.  He must be living the good life in there!  I most definitely did not want to be pregnant this long and have to wait an extra week to meet my little man, but I guess I'm happy that he's a little late than way to early.  I'd rather have him chubby and healthy and have to go through another week of misery than have him arrive too soon and have problems.

This last week has been an emotional rollercoaster.  When you get pregnant they should really tell you to take your due date and move it back at least a week so you expect him/her to come late.  Something hits you after you've passed your due date.  You're supposed to be holding your baby, right?  It's all I can think about.  Anything can put me to tears.  Not only that but my body hurts constantly.  If it's not my belly feeling twinges of pain or cramps then it's my pelvis, my bladder, my back or my feet.  Man, these last few weeks of pregnancy are not my favorite!  Good thing Baby K is well worth the pain and waiting.

At my last doc appointment Baby K's heartbeat was 145 and my stomach was measuring a week ahead again.  The doc was going to strip my membranes to try to get things rolling but he couldn't reach.  Huge bummer.  So we decided on a date to induce if Baby K won't come out on his own.  So all I can tell you is that if he doesn't come on his own soon he will be evicted sometime in the next few days.  I really really don't want to have to be induced so I'm praying that he comes on his own.  It makes me feel like a bad mom or something.  Isn't my body supposed to just do what it's supposed to do on its own?

The last few nights have been difficult.  I've been feeling very very restless.  I can be completely exhausted but I don't want to go to bed.  When I finally do fall asleep I wake up at least once per hour and sometimes I just lie there for an hour trying to fall back asleep.  The last two nights I've waken up and wanted to just get up and start cleaning or do something.  But I couldn't think of anything to do so I just laid there until I fell back asleep or went and watched a little TV.  Ugh, these sleepless nights are really getting to me.  I'm hoping the restlessness is a sign that he's coming soon?  But all of the signs that I've had thus far haven't proved anything... 

Hopefully I will get to meet him very very soon.

I'm still pregnant.  That is all.

40 Weeks!

1:37 PM Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Well I'm 40 weeks and they say this marks the end of my pregnancy (psh, jerks).  I remember back in January when I found out I was pregnant.  I thought September 23rd would never come!  Well, it's here and I'm still pregnant.  I was hoping to be holding my little one by now but he's not ready to come out yet!  They say only about 6% of babies are born on their actual due date.  So that doesn't make me very hopeful that he will arrive today.  Hopefully he will be ready to arrive very very soon.

At my doc appointment he said my cervix was thinner but I didn't get a number.  I was also about 2 cm dilated.  So I'm not much further than I was at 36 weeks.  My doc was about an hour late to my appointment because he was delivering some other gal's baby.  Ugh, he said I was next!!!  Oh well, Baby K has had another week to get chubbier.  I'm guessing he will be 8+ pounds.

I've been feeling very blue the last few days.  I just want to meet him so badly.  I want to see his sweet little face and hold him and squeeze him.  I also don't want to be pregnant anymore.  I get more and more uncomfortable as each day passes.  Last night I didn't sleep a wink.  There is always a constant pain in my stomach.  It either feels kind of like the way your muscles feel after a day of hard core working out or there are twinges of pain (probably from my muscles stretching or something).  My belly also itches constantly.  It sucks.  I feel like if my belly got any bigger it might burst.   

All I can say is that there best not be a 41 week post!  Hopefully he will be here any day now!  I can't wait to meet him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sick and tired of going out in public these days.  Everyone stares at me.  Haven't you ever seen a pregnant girl before?!  Jeez laweez, it's not polite to stare people.

Weird dream…

8:25 AM Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
I can’t remember the majority of my dreams but I do remember this part.  I was giving birth on a school bus right next to another lady giving birth.  They were trying to get me to not push because the doc wasn’t there yet.  I looked down and I saw something bloody sticking out.  I just couldn’t help it so I pushed.  What came out was not what I was hoping for.  It was a baby without a head and the baby was really skinny and boney.  It actually looked like the baby’s head was cut off with a saw and was murdered in my stomach and his head was nowhere to be found.  Creepy…  I’m thinking I’ve been watching too much Nip Tuck.

39 Weeks!

9:21 AM Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Holy moses, 39 weeks today!  I'll be honest, I was hoping I wouldn't have a 39 week post!  I guess Baby K just isn't ready to come out yet.  Hoping for this week though!

At my appointment last week Baby K's heartbeat was 135.  I'm finally measuring right on again.  Doc says it's probably because he's dropped.  He didn't do a cervix check but will next week.    

This last week has been quite challenging.  I've been more tired than ever.  However, I woke up Saturday morning bright and early and immediately started cleaning, organizing, cooking, etc.  I did 6 loads of laundry, finished organizing Baby K's nursery, cleaned our bedroom and 2 bathrooms, prepared and froze 2 lasagnas, dusted the doors, pictures and everything else in sight, and did other random cleaning and organizing.  I got more done yesterday than I have in months!  It felt so good but my back is now paying for it.  I've heard that some women get a surge of energy 24-48 hours before they have their babies.  Hopefully that was mine and I'll see him soon!  Otherwise, I'm just happy I got stuff done.

One year ago today I married my husband.  When I got pregnant and we found out the due date I assumed that we would have him on our anniversary.  Part of me hopes he doesn't come today but part of me hopes he does.  The day is only half way over so I guess we will see!  Either way I can't wait to meet him!

I can't remember if this was part of my last post or not but my bags are packed and in the car.  The carseat is installed and we are ready to go when he's ready to make his debut.  I sure hope I don't have to write a 40 week post!!!

This lack of energy thing really sucks.  The closer I get to the end of my pregnancy, the less and less energy I have.  It is extremely hard to make it through work these days.  Once I get home all I want to do is sit on the couch and watch TV.  I feel like a bad mom.  The poor dogs have so much energy and I don't even want them by me.  I used to play with them - throw a ball or whatever but not these days.  Luckily for them I've been going on a walk almost night (trying to get the baby out).  So at least they get some energy burned off.  Other than one little walk at night I'm a couch potato.  Hopefully after the baby comes I get my energy back!  God knows I'll need it then. 

38 Weeks!

2:42 PM Posted In Edit This 2 Comments »
38 weeks today!  Baby K is about 7 pounds and still growing!  I wouldn't be surprised if he was already more than 7 pounds.  I really can't imagine getting any larger.  But then again I've said that before and I still got bigger...

My co-workers threw me a baby shower over lunch this week.  It was very nice of them to do that!  We went to Pier 500 and I got what I've been craving for weeks now - a BLT!  Baby K got a lot of cute outfits and goodies!  

Work has been extremely stressful these last few weeks.  I've been busier than ever and have not had time to get organized.  But I did manage to train the gal in who is covering for me while I'm on leave.  I just hope I can get a little more organized before I leave.  I would feel much better leaving things in order.

At my last doc appointment Baby K's heartbeat was 133.  Everything is looking good.  I'm still measuring about a week ahead.  The doc didn't do a cervix check so I'm not sure where I'm at.  I'm going to make him check this week!  I'm quite curious to see how things have progressed.  I know I could be effaced and dilated for weeks but knowing my progress will help me get through these last few weeks.  And trust me, I need anything that helps get me through these last few weeks.  I'm soooo ready to meet Baby K and not be pregnant anymore.  

I'm still completely exhausted.  I did find some energy to get a little organizing done this weekend.  I went through more clothes so I'd be sure to have something to wear after baby comes.  I'm glad that the weather is cooling off so I don't have to go through my clothes twice for different seasons!  I just went through my fall/winter clothes.  I also put away all of my summer shoes (except the one pair of sandles that fit) and pulled out all my winter boots.  Baby K is coming just in the nick of time for my favorite season - fall!

Phil and I also went Walmart and grocery shopping and stocked up on stuff.  I feel better now that our pantry is full.  Hopefully I can find some time and energy in the next few days to make some food that we can freeze so after the baby comes we don't have to worry about cooking every day.  But that means finding room in the freezer...  Eh, we'll figure it out.

This heartburn is killing me.  The bigger I get the worse it gets.  It is one of the many reasons why I'm not sleeping at night.  Not sleeping at night is also killing me.  6 out of 7 nights I end up just getting out of bed and watching a little TV because I just can't sleep.  I can't get comfortable, I have to get up to pee 4-5 times and my mind just won't shut off.  Guess my body is just getting me ready for those sleepless nights once baby comes! 

It's crazy to think that it's possible that this could be my last weekly post.  I sure hope it is!!!  But I'm assuming it won't be.  I bet Baby K will want to stay in there until after my due date.

Don't get me wrong, I love my dogs BUT do they have to follow me everywhere?!  It gets rather annoying.  I get home and they jump all over me and whine because they are happy to see me.  I sit on the couch and guess who has to sit on my lap?  Vader.  I take a shower and guess who sits right in front of the shower waiting for me to get out?  Winston.  I get up to go to the bathroom and guess who has to follow me?  Yes, both of them.  God forbid they miss anything...  Do they do the same thing with Phil?  Nope.  They could care less if Phil leaves or goes downstairs.  They are going to have a rude awakening once Baby K comes and it's no longer all about them!!
Vader
