Nesting Stage Anyone?

Who knew I could sew?  I sure didn't.  I have the crafting bug!  My dear MIL taught me the basics of sewing after I had the sudden urge to make a baby blanket for our little gal.  Little babe brings out the mom in me I guess :).  I am super excited about all of fun things that I want to make.  I have been using her amazing sewing machine for the first few projects because I didn't think the one that was given to me worked.  Turns out I just needed to figure out how to use it.  

This blanket was seriously the first thing that I have ever sewn.  It is minky on one side and cotton the the other.  I still need to top stitch around the whole blanket so it is not quite complete.

Here is another blanket I have made her.  Its a flannel receiving blanket.  I made this blanket with my awesome little sewing machine!

 Here is my little sewing machine!  I am so happy it works.  Now I don't have to wait for a trip to Henefer for my sewing fix.

Now this cute car seat cover is not for my little girl but for another mom and her baby girl.  I already have the fabric for mine I just have not made it yet. I wanted to get this one finished and ready for the shower first.  You can find the tutorial I used here.

LOVE the bows!  Soooo girly.

So don't laugh...but I was in the knitting club in 8th grade!  All of the clubs were full so my friends and I decided to join the nerdy knitting club.  Best decision ever!  I made this little newborn hat in a couple hours.  It was really simple and I am almost done with my 2nd one.  I also just might have yarn for the next one too :/ haha.  Now the bow is kinda special because this bow is a decoration from our reception.  My mom made a ton of cute things like this for the reception and I thought it went perfectly with the color.  You can find the tutorial I used here.

Like I said I have a ton more projects that I want to make.  I'll keep you posted :)

29.5 Weeks and Counting/Camera Clean-up

We decided to do a random spur of the moment trip to Henefer one Sunday.  I love my family!

How Far Along? 29.5 Weeks!
Weight Gained? Oh probably too much.
Maternity Clothes? Yes and I love them.  I wear whatever fits now. Can't be too picky.
Stretch marks?  Yup.
Sleep?  It's actually been better.  I started going to Physical Therapy for my hips 3 weeks ago and I think its really helping.
Best Moment This Week?  Hearing her heartbeat when she had hiccups.  She is so sweet.  I love her too much!
Movement? She is super active!  When my doctor was trying to find her heartbeat he kept on getting mine and hers because she was moving around around so much.  He was like, "Man, this kid is active!"
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? No, I'm way lucky in that department.
Belly Button In or Out? Still barely an innie!
Wedding Rings On or Off?  Alright get this...About a week ago I thought I got this werid bug bite on my ring finger.  It was really itchy and of course I scratched it.  It started to get a little swollen so I took off my ring and put a bigger ring on to replace it.  I noticed that it was NOT a bug bite but a rash.  When I went into my appointment on Tuesday I asked my doctor what was going on and he was like..."Oh yeah, that's pretty common with pregnant women.  Because your body, hormones, and chemicals are changing you became allergic to your ring."  Um yeah...I was shocked.  He even said that it could be permanent.  Please no...
Looking Forward To? I am down to an appointment every 2 weeks!  I'm also looking forward to my 34 week ultrasound.  I love seeing my baby girl.  I can't wait to meet her!
Missing Anything? My high school body.
Food Cravings? No, not really.
Labor Signs?  No, and I'm grateful for that.
Happy or Moody Most of the Time? Happy most of the time.
Symptoms?  My hips are still hurting but they are feeling better.  I am just getting to the uncomfortable stage.

We did the Temple to Temple 5K on Pioneer Day.  Wahoo!  Now I can say that I've done 2 5K's while prgnant. :)  Aaron ran the whole thing and then came back to find me and walk the rest with me.  Luckily I wasn't walking alone.  Amy and her friend are both pregnant so we walked it together.

On a walk with Aaron.  I think I am about 24 weeks in this shot.

 Aaron's grandparents where the Grand Marshals in the 4th of July parade.

This is at Provo Beach Resort.  doTERRA (where I work) had their summer party here.  Aaron had an awesome time playing simulated golf.  Guess what?  Aaron sang karaoke in front of everyone!  I bet you can guess he sang a Killers song.  I was so proud and in love :)

We went to San Francisco to visit David and Jani and their kids.  We love their family and they were such awesome hosts!  It was so windy as displayed in the picture below.

Back to Henefer.  Aaron is so manly.

These are just a few things that you will find in the baby room!  Aaron spray painted the frame and then spray painted the mirror to make it a chalkboard.  The cute rocking chair was found at an antique shop in a small town near Henefer.

So Hannah got a creepy lizard that I won't touch.  Everyone thinks its cool though.
