Weekend Projects




This weekend we have been very busy. I bought a rocking chair from Deseret Industries, a thrift store, for only $15 dollars. The only thing it needed was a new paint job. And that's where Nathan comes in...he spray painted it black and now it looks brand new. As if we paid $150 for it. It took a long time and he is still not completely done, but I think it was worth it. He also sprayed this cedar chest that my Dad made me for my graduation present. So, now we are going to make the cedar chest into a coffee table. Thanks Dad for letting us do so many modifications to it. And thank you Nathan for doing all these projects that I can't do while I am Prego! I am addicted to buying things cheap and revamping them into expensive pieces. Everyone keeps asking me when what we are having. I know I really look like I should know by now...I am really getting big. But, in just two weeks we will know. So, be patient for a little longer, Okay?! I can't wait either!

Holy Cow...I can't believe you have a baby in your belly! It's going to be so weird when I see you next! I can't wait. I might cry, so watch out! hehe Those pieces look awesome! I wish I could see you on Thanksgiving. I think I might just have to do something that mom would to take my mind away from it...like go to a buffet somewhere or picnic or something. Sheesh this is hard! I miss you too much! I can't wait to know whether you have my niece or nephew in your stummy!

Homemade Diaper Bag

I finally made a diaper bag for myself to replace the nasty old one I had. I am so far loving it a ton. I went from a pattern at first then scraped it and did my own design. I am happy with the result and now I am contemplating on making more and selling them. XOXO-Erin

Does anyone have a trank gun!

Sometimes I feel like a toddler, discovering my belly button for the first time. My belly button is so unrecognizable now. The only problem I am finding about being pregnant is all the body changes. I mean, weight! Being thin for 28 years then ballooning up in a matter of months has really scared me. I know, I know, everyone says that I will loose it all very quickly, but I still don't like it. At church I looked down at my feet and ankles and realized that I no longer have any ankles...they have morphed into cankles...Yuk! I was so discussed that I almost threw up. I wish I was one of those women who don't gain hardly anything and don't really look like they are pregnant until they give birth. Okay, enough of poor me! It's not hard to remind myself that I am pregnant though...I can't go an hour without her kicking me. There is life in there...I am so happy whenever I can feel her. I am happy really easily...just give me chips or ice cream and I am fine. Which isn&#

Our Baby Girl's Room

The Baby room is getting more attention now. I have decorated the walls and put new bedding in the crib. I thought about painting the walls but I think it looks better with the original cream color. I really didn't want to much going on in there. She is one lucky girl to have all this attention to her room. If you didn't notice from the pictures we have decided to name her Cheryl Love Christopherson. She is named after her Grandma Christopherson that has passed away from breast cancer. She was a amazing woman and so little Cheryl has some big shoes to fill. My next project is to make some cute little dresses for her. We can't wait for her arrival. XOXO-Erin
