Last week I posted about a baby countdown timer I created in flash. In the last week my baby countdown timer widget thingy has really taken off. At the time I am writing this it has over 10,000 views and 366 people have installed it on their blog or website. All in about a week !

Its been cool to watch. As people put the widget on their blog others see it and put it on their blog and the rate of installs constantly increases. I just noticed this morning my widget made the front page of Widgetbox.com (as wel as Emma’s face !) see below.   I don’t have much time to putz with this- I created it while carpooling to work… I hope to spend some time on a new one shortly..

The downfall with widgetbox is the links are hidden from google in an iframe- so I added a button to send users back to my site to get my install code- where the links are not hidden from google. Trying to increase ranking for a new site we have that features info and news about free baby samples.

The girls (all 5 of them!) are visiting Grandma and Grandpa. Apparently I am not capable of seperating myself from babies- While “Bach’in” I completed this baby countdown widget in flash. It was pretty tricky but I learndteded alot figuring it all out.
I don’t plan to use it myself- but hopefully someone out there will. It does not predict triplets.

Just select a date (one time) and copy the code – paste it into your blog. It will countdown automatically and self destruct when your due date is reached. Below just generates the code- paste the code into your blog to see what it looks like based on your due date.

The bathroom that nearly took my leg, eye and toe is done.

I am pretty happy with how it turned out. It started as a tiny 1/2 bathroom and our bedroom closet.

Jenell and the girls went up to Cannon Falls, Minnesota to her dad’s house. I plan to pick them up this weekend and watch the Green Bay Packers play the Seattle Seahawks on her dad’s gigantic Plasma screen tv!

It’s been a nice break but I do miss them. Also If you are wondering- I am purposely planting words in this blog post to test a new plugin I installed that displays maps and images automaticly.

Hi, I wanted to let everyone know about my friend Robin. She has been my lifesaver for the last few months. She helps me with literally everything. But I lost her, she is having surgery today for her shoulder. She has been having troubles with it for almost a year now, the pain finally caught up with her. I am so sad to see her go. She will not be able to help me anymore due to the surgery. My family will miss her very much, but we will always keep in close contact. I will be over there and she will come here and see the girls when she feels better. The reason for this post, is to ask everyone to say a prayer for her during her surgery and a good fast recovery. We love you Robin and we wish you the best! I miss you already!
