Updates


Okay I know I haven't posted anything in a while and I am usually on top of these things. Well, I have been super busy trying to get everything semi-ready for this new little girl to arrive. Dr. appointments haven't been that great either. Up until last week the baby was in Breach position, which means she was sideways. She finally turned and now she is not stretching me sideways, but putting pressure on my back. Every time I overdue it...which now, overdoing it means a few things a day...I am in pain majorly. So, I am really trying to take it easy and rest...hard to do when I've got a toddler to chase around. So, just a couple more weeks hopefully. But, the good news is that that baby is in position and I don't have to freak out if I am having a C-section...which still might happen but it's not as likely. Anyway, along with the pregnancy brain that I have...I have been trying to sew and get things done for our baby girl. I have made 20 bibs, personalized big sister and little sister t-shirts, made 2 nursing covers, made car seat canopy cover, made 5 pacifier clips, made a cover for a recycled swing, made a crib rail cover, made a diaper bag and I think that is all. I have so many clothes and blankets that I really didn't have to make any or even buy much for this baby and that was really nice. I love to sew and would love to be sewing all day every day, but I am a mom first so I am putting my sewing machine away for now and can't wait to sew again. I still haven't finished the list of projects that I want to do but I am having a hard time sitting for a long time, so the list will just have to wait. Anyway, this pregnancy is different, I do have more energy, but I am still downing half a bottle of tums every other day. I will keep you posted and take pictures of the things that I sewed. But for now pray for me that the delivery goes well. Thanks.

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
