Projects!

So, as I said before, I've been taking on a few projects around the house.... mostly to do with sewing for baby.  But also, putting up the wall decals in her room.  My next step is to finish my hospital bag....  right now I am so immobile, we'll see how it all goes!  Here are some pics from what I've done:

Here are the two hooter hiders I made last week.  I've made about 10 of these so far, and modified them almost every time I've made a new one.  This way seems to be the easiest so far- one thing is using ribbon to tie them with instead of sewing straps.

Burp clothes I made out of the leftover fabric.  I have ended up with tons of burp clothes so far...  so I didn't make too many of these.  And two of them are just plain diapers that I added fabric to.

The wall decals.  These flowers continue around a little more of the room- to the right.  We're hoping to put her name above the changing table, David just needs to finish painting the second coat on the letters, and then I'll hang them with ribbon.  Not sure when this will be completed yet....

Okay, I am just adding this picture because it makes me laugh.  This was from over a month ago, while David and I were cleaning up baby's room.  I took a break and laid down.  As soon as I did, Lilah came and laid down next to me and put her little head on my belly.  She moved a little by the time David took a picture, but it's still cute!

We found out from the doctor yesterday that he may want to induce me this weekend.  Which means there is a whole lot to do before now and then....  But we'll find out for sure on Friday.  AHHHH!  We could have a baby in just four days!  Crazy how quickly the time has gone!  (Oh and my brother and sister in law find out what they're having tonight!  Can't wait to find out!  it's an exciting week for the Kolari family!)

"Retirement"

So, I have officially been on "retirement" for one week.  Let me tell you it is weird!  I've been able to get some things done around the house, but a lot of times I have been bored...  I hate to say that too- because I know I should be enjoying these couple weeks before A decides to make her appearance.  But it's hard! 

I have completed one projected that I really wanted to- I made myself two nursing covers with fabric I purchased years ago!  Not to be used for nursing covers, one I bought for an apron and the other was just cute!  I'll post pictures in a day or too.  But this has been a project I've been meaning to do since I got pregnant... just took me 9 months!  My next large project is to make David pj bottoms- again with fabric I bought a while ago.  Better late then never, right?

We're nearly ready for the baby now.  YEAH!  Her room is nearly complete, the last piece of the puzzle was a bookshelf to go by the rocker and my parents picked a used one up for us this week.  And our last decoration is putting her name in wooden letters on the wall, we have the letters and paint and David will paint them saturday!  The worst part of the room is all the junk I've been taking out of the closet that we haven't put elsewhere yet!  It's literally sitting in the middle of her room in a pile.  Sigh, looks terrible, but we're keeping the dogs out so hopefully Lilah won't chew things up.  Tho, once again I am "retired" and I really should take care of it soon!

My goal until A is born is to post every couple days, we'll have to see if I am successful!
