Since I’ve been on “house arrest” I’ve had a lot of time on my hands. To fight the boredom I have been trying to find projects that I can do with out burning to many calories and more recently without having a contraction.
J was gone on a business trip a few weekends ago so my mom came up to stay. We had a great time finishing things up in the nursery. My mom is an amazing seamstress . In two short days she was able to whip together a bed skirt, curtains, and finish the binding on the quilt she had already pieced together.
Since then I have finally finished some things on my list. For several years I have been making burp rags and fabric applique onsies as gifts for my friends. I had yet to make anything for Ian, so this week I changed that.
I have another shower this weekend in my home town. It will be great to see old friends and get some more great stuff to help us take care of baby Ian. I am sure nerves and anxiety will set in again, but we are just pushing on. Today I have my “eye on the prize.” We are so close to meeting, holding, kissing my little sweat pea. I still have moments during the day and night where doubt invades, but most of the time I get a kick in the side (literally) which snaps me out of the negativity.
So keep moving baby boy. I hope to meet you in 2 short weeks.


Love your peace of mind and your cute projects!!!! I have never seen a onesie with matching burp cloth! I know Ian will keep the kicks coming! So excited for you, so proud of you too! Call anytime if you need anything, or a distraction!
they are so great! – I wish I had a sewing machine
Here’s to a good 2weeks!
