Long Time No Blog

So I got on one of my kicks today for crafting, but unfortunately one of the side effects is you cannot work with a hot glue gun for four hours without getting burned. I was working on my last hairbow and seriously burned the top few layers of skin off my middle finger - ouch! But scroll down to see that it was worth it :)

First is a wipes case I cutesified up with strawberry fabric, ribbon and some star buttons

Then I decided to pull out outfits from the 0-3 month range and try my best to make bows to go with each outfit, although they will be interchanged as well. My creative mind works best with a goal or something specific in mind, so enjoy pictures of some of the cute outfits waiting for our little gal and my latest attempts at bow fashions.

I think this apple dress is my favorite in the 0-3 month range.

So, sorry it has been forever since I have posted. Obviously baby girl is still gestating, but all is going well. Our twice weekly ultrasounds have kept us busy, but up to date and assured that everything is just fine. Robert has now gone back to the long hours at work, which has been hard for both me and Sam to adjust back to, but we are grateful for all the time he had off during the winter this year.

We had Robert's mom come visit a couple weekends ago and we greatly enjoyed her visit. We picked out fabric for the quilt, sheets and crib skirt for baby girl and were also able to put her new Cricut to use cutting some vinyl sayings I wanted for the house.

Then last weekend my mom and sisters came up from Utah to join in the baby shower fun. I don't have any pictures from the event, but I will post them when I do because it was awesome! Thanks again to Corinne and Julie for putting it together and to those who came to show their love and support for us!

This week we have had Robert's younger brother, Jake staying with us because it is the break between semesters at BYU-Idaho and he has been working for Robert out at the farm. Sam has loved having Uncle Jakey around and has learned that there is a really fun motorcycle game on Jake's laptop and begs to play the minute Jake walks in the door.

Corinne, Julie and I have been trying to do school together once a week for the younger kids and it's been going pretty well. Sam loves hanging his pictures and other projects on the wall for Daddy to see when he gets home. And it has been fun to work together to come up with lessons and activities the kids will enjoy and also learn from each week.

We are down to less than one month until my due date and Mommy is really starting to feel the end-of-the-pregnancy, you-are-so-huge discomforts, so we are hoping this little one decides to come soon (hence the nesting instinct kicking into overdrive this weekend)!!
