Getting ready . . .

For our baby girl! She'll be here in about 3 months! Time is flying by! I went to the doctor today and I guess everything is still looking good. She's getting stronger and seems to be moving a lot more now, though when I'm at work not as much (they say your constant motion lulls them to sleep). This was my last Dr. appointment in my second trimester! In fact, this Sunday I'll be in my third! I can't believe it! Since I haven't been sick for the past couple months I'm feeling pretty good, just getting bigger & def. actually "feeling pregnant". I've been starting to get even more tired & hungry lately, which is normal. I can't really reach my toes anymore though, it hurts too much! So today I went & got gel toes :) however, I won't torture you with a picture of my toes.


We're not really telling anyone any names we're thinking of, it's going to have to be a surprise! We haven't decided on "the one" though.


We'll be getting our crib soon it's a chocolate brown, and I just ordered the bedding. Originally I was going to do a black & pink nursery, but I couldn't find any bedding I liked that wasn't WAY expensive. I was considering making my own, but since I work full time Brett didn't want me getting stressed (I can be a perfectionist). I seriously have seen EVERY KIND of bedding. I googled & searched for hours on end. So I just decided to change the colors to pink & brown. Brett doesn't understand my pickiness, his only preference was that we didn't get a white crib. Here's a pic of the bedding that's coming this week:


And here's the picture of my diaper bag I bought when we were in Cali for New Years:



And . . . I have been crafting a little lately. I just love the projects you can find on blogs now-a-days! And I have so many more I want to try, I just have to pace myself so I don't get overwhelmed. Brett says I need an allowance just for my crafts. Whatever :) Here's a wet wipe case cover I made today.I think it matches my diaper bag close enough, I love these I'm pretty excited! I'm also making a daper clutch to match it. OH, and since there are 3 other preg girls I work with (we're all due within 2 months of each other, and Brett's cousin Brandon's wife is due any day, I am making 4 more wet wipe cases & diaper clutches. I bought all the material today. Let the fun begin . . .

This weekend I also made these beaded binky clips. I made two for myself & 2 others fo gifts. I love them :). I think she (our baby) needs one in every color, but like I said I'm pacing myself. Brett can only stand me going to the craft store so much :)


Oh, and I bought my first package of diapers today, so I could put a few in each of the diaper clutches I'm giving as gifts. It was so weird! Also, I demonstrated to Brett how to change a diaper using a sock monkey as our "baby". He wouldn't try, he says he'll just try with "the real thing". We shall see.

Anyhow that's what I've been up to lately! 13 & 1/2 more weeks to go!

Aw thanks so much! I make a few different kind of flowers... You can buy a few different flowers from the craft store and then take them apart and mix and match different colors. it makes just one regular flower go a long way. Also, I make a bunch out of fabric. There's a ton of tutorials online for some really cute ones! There's a really cute kind made of satin that there are tutorials everywhere for! Good luck!
