Me and all my craftiness!

Saw this on Pinterest and started laughing out loud.

I know that my craftiness has it's limits, but at least this pic makes me feel good. 

Here are some crafts I have been working on for the girls. I got both ideas from pinterest.

Hair bow & Headband frame holder

Just used a frame, fabric, ribbon and hot glue gun.

Once I put all the bows and headbands on.

This was a simple project and super fast with the hot glue gun.  I used a large hanging frame, but once all the bows were up it looks really full. Bet I could have fit a 5th row in. Oh well.  I love the headband holder.  Re is now able to see all her accessories and pick the ones she wants to wear.  Plus adds color to the girls bathroom.

Butterfly clips

I have been learning to crochet lately.  It seems more my style than knitting, even though I love all the different things you can do with knitting.  First up was some easy butterflies.  The pink one is made with a large yarn and came out big. Then got some really small yarn (??) for the blue.  It is the perfect size for a clip or barrette.  We use them on everything, not just hair. Who knew?

We were in the drive through line and Re read this while waiting. I am one proud Mama!!

Something to be very thankful for!

24 weeks!

We have made it to 24 weeks!! 

Only 16 more to go! So here is an update on where we are.

Size of baby:   a foot long +/-, right on schedule for 24 weeks.

Movement:   Lots of movement, baby is stretching.

Gender & Name:   It's a girl!  No name yet. 

Symptoms:    Not really, still tired a lot.

Maternity clothes:    Have moved to maternity pants/shorts.  Still trying to wear my normal tops, but it wont last long. 

Sleep:    The insomnia is back, but hoping with more walking I will just be too tired.  Still waking up from 4 to 6.

Weight gained:  Woot woot, only 3 pounds this month, for a total of 11.

Food Cravings:   Same, salty and sweet.  Ate a whole thing of brownies while B was gone.  Just glad all the girl scout cookies are gone.  They never last long.

Belly Button out or in:  In, but it is early.  Just wait.

Fun moments from this past week:    Re spent the night at Nana and Grandpa's to give me a night off.  Re wanted baby to go with her, too cute.  Was able to have a nice girls night out!

What I am looking forward to:   More sisterly love.  Adorable clothes and photos!

Reflections on the past week:   So grateful to have lots of family close by.  It really is helpful when I need a break or just a nap.

Big sis wanted a picture by herself.

It's a Girl!

We found out today, we are blessed to be having another baby girl!  YAY!  Girls rule!

Re is excited, but in the "I told you so" kind of way.  She knew since we told her at 10 weeks. B is as giddy as a proud Papa can be.

At the Doc's everything looked good and baby is doing great. Breeched at the moment, but things can change (I hope)!

Found these awesome shirts at babies-r-us.  I was going to make some, but ran out of time. Turns out the store had exactly what I wanted the whole time.  Lucky me!  Re loves her's and wants to wear it everywhere. What a great big sister!!
