32 weeks!

Only 8 weeks to go!

Today was our last monthly appointment! We'll see Dr. Judd again on Sept. 24th, and October 8th, then weekly until she arrives sometime around Nov. 4th!

She weighs about 3.5lbs right now and Dr. Judd estimates she'll be about 7 all cooked and done. 7 is good :) She is also head down and in a great position, so things are going just grand! She has fingernails, toenails, and real hair! (or at least some respectable peach fuzz)
As for me... I can't bend over very far, and I have heartburn all the time... This pic should explain why:

Yeah... my stomach has been flattened like a pancake, and everything is just a lil... squished. But other than that I really am feeling great! I'm blessed to be able to still be working full time, and still have energy at the end of the day to play a little bit. We'll see how long it lasts. She's supposed to double in size!

Projects coming up in the near future:

We got one of those old fashioned cribs from my Aunt for FREE! Yes, it's used. But it's sturdy solid wood and much better than any one we could find at Wal-Mart. We'll be sanding it down, and refinishing it. It'll look brand new when we're done, and I'll be satisfied with it to keep my little one safe and secure while she rests her little head. Now we need to find a bassinet.

Also, we have a prospective home in mind. If all goes well, we'll need to move in, set up the nursery, and get settled before she arrives. :/

Baby Shower will be September 29th for friends AND family. If you would like an invitation, please get me your address. If I already got it from you, don't worry about it. Yes, this counts as a project. Trust me.

Much Love to you all!

P.S.  we went camping last week and the leaves are changing all over the mountain! Prepare to welcome FALL! It will officially be upon us in 12 days!

Bridal Shower Fun!

A good friend of the family is getting married soon, and I had the opportunity to help plan and attend her purple themed bridal shower over the weekend.

My sister got stuff to put together scrapbook pages for a sign in book to be used at the reception in Portland, OR. Those who will be unable to attend the reception there had the opportunity to make a page and sign it at the shower!

We also had some "Advice for the bride cards" that people filled out and got to stick in an envelope on a scrapbook page. Some of the advice was....

"Smile!"

"Don't fight, Get naked"

"Never go to bed angry"

and

"Always make the bed"

For treats we had... 

Pink Lemonade - homemade

Peanuts - walmart

sixlets - Zurchers

And.... The cake. 

Idea - Pinterest

Execution - Mom and I. 

We used a heart for the bodice, leaves for the sleeves, and free-handed the skirt.

After we got the fondant on, we pulled out the piping tools.

Mom piped the pretty purple flowers, kaycy's name, and border design. 

It all pulled together really well and Kaycy was able to celebrate her engagement with the dear friends she has made here in UT. 

A Big Thank You to everyone to who helped out and all those that attended! And to those who couldn't, we understand :) and we missed you!

My Next Project...

So... I have a bunch of boring wooden spoons like these...

They live on my counter in a holder kind of like this one... except mine is handmade and porclain and it's way more pretty... but you get the idea...

 As pretty as my little utinsil cup is... Being full of wooden spoons it's not as cute as I'd like it to be. But, as I'm sure you already figured out, I have a solution. I just got a new toy. It's called a dremel tool and it has about a zillion different attachements. And it gives me the ability to turn those boring wooden spoons into something cute. Like this. Only not burnt, just slightly carved out.

I'll let you know how they turn out. I'm very excited :)
