I really really did it.....

I used a real live sewing machine! My lovely and talented sister in law convinced me that I could make a blanket, and with her help of course I went to the fabric store picked out the colors and sewed up a blanket! When I first walked in the store I was SO over whelmed. There is way to many things to choose from and where do I even start? As we started putting things in the cart I was wondering(and texting Jay) I don't think she knows what she is getting herself into. All together we had enough material to make 3 different kinds of blankets. The thought also ran through my mind that for sure we are not getting these done by the time Brylee is here. So we get home start cutting and before I knew it I was done with my blanket. Although the squares don't match up at all and I sewed 2 sides the entire way before realizing that there was no string in the needle, I am very proud of my accomplishment. It was so much fun and I think I would love to look into getting a sewing machine. I'm thinking I must be on my way to being a mom with these crazy homemaker thoughts. Thanks so much Liz you're the best!

Here we are at 31 weeks, YAY I'm getting so close to getting to hug and kiss and touch our little angel. I never imagined it would be so much fun to be pregnant, I really love it and feel so blessed to be able to carry a little spirit into the world. We are doing all we can to prepare to bring her here, and p.s. shopping for a girl is so easy because there are so so so many cute things! I have decided I want to do a natural birth, with the help of hypnobirthing so send good positive thoughts towards me friends :) Plus I have a great partner that I know is going to put me at ease and keep things calm. I will definitely let you all know how it goes. As for anything else going on there is not much, just working and waiting patiently for Brylee's arrival.......
