Puzzle Momma

Wow, hard to believe it has been two months since I touched my puzzle!  Of course, having another baby and a toddler has definitely had a huge impact on that.  Plus the fact that we’ve had almost nonstop company since Cole was born.  Not that I’m complaining about our growing family, lack of sleep, or the visiting relatives and friends, but it sure isn’t allowing for any puzzling time. So for the first time yesterday, I got to spend about…

I have made a little progress on some of the anemone areas surrounding the clownfish over the last week.  It’s not a significant amount of progress, but as they say, any progress is progress, right? This evening I am planning on working on Tom and Mercedes’ mystery puzzles.  I have had to put off working on it further until after I got some things done in preparation for Cole’s early arrival.  I should be able to post new pictures of…

This morning I was able to get in about 45 minutes with the puzzle before Derek woke up.  It was nice to get a little longer length of time to puzzle at one sitting.  My secondary goal of having Section 2 finished before baby Cole makes his appearance is looking less and less likely.  I think I am getting close to the 50% finished mark, but we found out yesterday that Cole will be arriving a week earlier than the…

I’m not getting enough time at any given puzzling session to really make much progress which is frustrating.  I think tonight I’m going to try and bring a section of the puzzle upstairs so I can work on it even if Randy wants to watch a movie or something.  This way I can be with him, but still move forward on the puzzle.  I got in about 30 minutes this morning before Derek woke up.  I guess it’s better than…

This is an example of my luck….for the first time all week I got up early to work on the puzzle before Derek woke up.  I literally had been in the room for less than 5 minutes and he decided to wake up early (6:30 a.m.).  I decided to just let him talk and babble in his bed for another 10 minutes or so while I knocked out a few pieces.  I counted them at the end and looks like…

Hmmm….I wonder if I can qualify for some sort of “longest amount of time to finish Life puzzle” award?  LOL  I am making very slow, but progressive progress on Section 2.  Sorry I haven’t updated in a while, but haven’t been working on it much due to being sick a lot.  Hoping (fingers, toes, and eyes crossed) that this is it for a while.  I’m tired of being sick! The last couple of mornings, I worked on the puzzle a little…

Last night I stayed up until 1 a.m. working on the puzzle!  That’s really late for me as I’m usually in bed by 10 to 10:30 at the latest.  I was on a roll and just wanted to keep puzzling.  Plus, there’s no clock in my puzzle room so time really can get away from me in there. Anyway, I am happy to report that I made some good progress.  The horse is now mostly complete as well as the…

So I decided to get up at 6:30 this morning and knock out a few pieces before Derek woke up.  It felt really great to be working with the pieces again.  I have really missed my puzzling time the last few weeks with the travel and all the sicknesses I have had.  I’m still not feeling well…I think I somehow caught a second cold on top of the first one starting to leave…UGH.  But, I decided to go ahead and…

This has been the worst few months for me as far as being sick.  During this pregnancy so far, I have been sick 5 times total.  Early in my first trimester I got a bad cold / flu virus that lasted for about 2 weeks and turned into bronchitis and a sinus infection.  Then in the second trimester I got a tooth infection and had to have it pulled.  I also got a relatively mild case of food poisoning.  Moving…
