Rayne has to be the cutest funniest thing when she sleeps. Yesterday evening I was watching t.v. with mom and whenever there was a louder noise, or one of use would speak, she would squeal or start actually fussing and crying in her sleep.. then a few second later calm down again... all without every opening her eyes or actually waking up or anything. A lot of times, when she is in a deep sleep, she will randomly squeal out really loud.... no movements or anything. She is such a funny little thi… Continue

Destiny Rayne is finally here! She was born October 5, 2008 at 11:52 p.m. We went up to the hospital Sunday afternoon around 3 and found out that I was already dilated to 7 cm. So they got me on the epidural (which was AMAZING) and at 15 'til 10 they had me start pushing. After an hour of that, nothing was happening.

So I'm less than two weeks away from having this kid, and my mom thinks that I might have toxoplasmosis... a parasite that you get from cats. It's possible that it can effect the baby too.

I'm so happy. One more chance to see what this kid is!!! Oh I'm so happy right now. Things are looking up.... now if only my husband will get this big job, then we can move and start really living!!!

Yet another really great idea. I like the Random Acts of Kindness pledge... everyone should sign up to do it.

But when you stop and think about it, should we have to sit here and "pledge" to be kind? To pay a simple compliment? This should be something that is automatic, that we do regardless of a pledge that Otep, or anybody else, starts. But sadly, that's not the case. People have to be reminded that we all have feelings. That everybody needs encouragement. A person is more likely to say some… Continue
