Nursing cover...check

I decided I couldn't make the carseat cover til I knew the gender but I could make my nursing cover. I think it's beautiful. I love all of the fabrics. Also, notice the la-z-boy chair we bought for me. Moving into a new house has spaced out places to sit down. This is now my only chair upstairs so it gets a lot of use already.
I know I'm dumb but when I make something with really pretty fabrics I look at it A LOT! I'll turn my head to one side and look....then the other, you know for a different angle. Don't worry if you don't love it and don't understand why I do, Brent didn't either.

10 days

So many many thoughts.

Who are you little baby? You're hurting my back but I don't care. Well, I care but that's not the reason I want you to come right this minute.

We're all trying to get ready for you. Jackson is getting better at pulling up his own underwear and pants. And supposedly he feels bad everytime he plays too rough around my belly but let's be honest, it's freakin' HUGE!

I've set up the crib and laid out stuff to take to the hospital for you. It's the booties aunt robyn made and the blanket grandma jan made for jackson's blessing. I think they're both perfect. They're both white and crocheted or knitted (I don't know the difference.) I love picturing you in white.

Daddy's really excited but he doesn't talk about it a ton. I think he's trying not to decide in his mind what the gender will be. You know he's all about surprises.

I can't stop trying to picture what things will be like in the hospital, at home, with Jackson. Thoughts? Stories?

I have lots of excuses

I don't have a sewing table yet in the room I want for a sewing room. I'm still unpacking.

I'm just so uncomfortably pregnant.
Jackson quit naps over the holidays.

I have lots (even more than that) of excuses for not sewing these lovelies for the new baby. I couldn't even remember the other cute baby project tutorials i've seen online. send me a link if you know of more cute ones. seriously. i'm gonna start again soon.

one reason unpacking is hard

when i was un packing he was building his "rocketship" out of cans.

yup....another one

Introducing Scott and Siobhan (pronounced shivon). April 13th. I actually have the most pictures of them because Brent took their engagement shots yesterday. I thought he did a really good job.
That makes a sibling wedding in March, April, and May.

Don't they just look like they'll be happy for like forever!!

March 12!! We're so excited.

Christmas preparations

This was our first year to go and see Santa. Jackson was so excited. After telling me for 2 weeks he was going to ask for a tricycle, that morning he changed his mind to 4 lollipops.
This is the first year I've really gotten excited about Christmas for Jackson. It's exhilerating to try to shop around for him and hide gifts and such. We've also been talking about the nativity story. He wants to get down the manger scenes to talk about them...unfortunately we have breakable nativities and so I can't just leave them down but hopefully after christmas is over i'll get the little people's nativity for next year.
Another fun story was for our ward christmas party Brent and I were asked to be Mary and Joseph. We thought it would be fun to dress Jackson up as a donkey to walk in with us. He was so cute and then got up to the front and yelled "I'm superman!" Sorry mom, no pictures.
