Out of the Box

So anyone who knows me well or has spent time with me in the past few months knows that I am slightly in denial that this baby is ever coming. When asked questions like Have you painted the bedroom? Do you have any names picked? Have you made anything? What color of quilt do you want? and What type of crib/swing/breast pump do you have? I always answer with oh we have plenty of time or its not until the end of December that is forever away. Well today when I opened my blog and saw 99 days until the due date it kinda hit me that I'm actually going to have a BABY...the thought is frankly terrifying...in a good way of course. So last week I decided that I would get crafty AND finally take my sewing machine out of its box. A quick side story my mom has this thing with TRADITIONS of presents that she buys when each daughter accomplishes some sort of goal. I guess it comes with having 4 girls and no boys? I don't know. But the present for graduating from university somehow (with no input from me) became a sewing machine. I received this glorious gift in February and it has since sat in my spare bedroom closet collecting dust. Well I finally used it! (I had to use the instruction manual to figure it out but hey it got used!) I made this little creature a blanket. Tannis told me it was just two pieces of material sewn together but I am quite proud of it!

I can't wait to put our little girl in this oufit

And one for the in-laws and family that won't see me while pregnant. This is the growing baby belly at 26 weeks. I frankly feel huge and am not looking forward to getting bigger but I guess that is part of the deal...I am still wearing my jeans with no problems which is good...not good is the heartburn. I have never had heartburn before until this pregnancy and it is NOT fun! So there's the update. 14 weeks to go....AHHHHH.

P.S. Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. Your words meant a lot to me.
