Before and After

Although my glider's transformation is not quite complete, it's complete enough to show you.  Now, as you may recall, sewing is not one of my well-developed skills.  I know enough not to be terrified of the idea of a sewing project...but not quite enough to know how terrified I SHOULD be.  It all started with fabric selection.  This took awhile as Geoff and I had a pretty good idea what we wanted...but a hard time finding it. ...

Changing Pad Cover 2

I won't get too chatty with you today.  But here is the shot of changing pad cover attempt #2.  I think this one turned out a bit better.  The angles were a bit better, too.  And the fabric... Next up...curtains....

12 weeks away!

Let the third trimester begin!  So, today I am officially 28 weeks along and entering my third trimester (pictures below for your enjoyment and my embarrassment).  Things are still going along pretty smoothly.  I had read that his movements would change around this time as he gets bigger and can't roll around quite as much.  He still moves a ton, but the movements are certainly different, and a little less comfortable,...

It's hard to believe that I've reached a point where I've been married for 1/6 of my life.  Now, 1/6 may not seem like all that much...but it's more time then I spent in college.  It's more time then I've been in the post-grad workforce.  It's the same amount of time I spent in high school.  It also makes me realize how much life Geoff and I have to live together.  We've been married only a fraction of the time we will...

Freeze Frame

Snippits from the last couple weeks. * Although you may pay them a stash of cash every month, your insurance company really WON'T make your life any easier when you are in an accident.  4 weeks later and we are probably still 7-10 days from getting our car back.  * Geoff and I found a great glider for the nursery on Craigslist.  I love to go sit in the nursery and just imagine what it will be like with little Ace.* However much...

Oh, baby.

So, the biggest question on the mind of an expectant mother (at least THIS expectant mother) is: What the heck is this kid going to look like!! Will he be a blonde baby like his daddy or grandmas?  Will he be brunette like his mom and great-grandma?  Will he have black hair like his grandpa and uncle?  Will he be a surprise redhead like his great-grandpa? We he he have blue eyes like his daddy's family?  Or brown eyes like his...

Woe IS me

So, with a child constantly kicking me in the belly, I obviously have that little guy on my mind a lot.  For this, I should probably apologize to my blog readers who aren't at the point of bearing children.  I was one of those people not too long ago, and listening to pregnant women blather on about their baby and pregnancy got a little old.  But, now that I'm in the thick of it, it all makes perfect sense!  So, I won't...

25 weeks pregnant in my 25th year!

Raise your hand if you can believe I'm 25 weeks pregnant this week!  Note: I am not 25 yet, but I will be this year.  Note: My hand is not raised.  It's crazy how quickly time slips by.  Crazy in a good way.  I'm so ready to be a mom to this lil' guy.  At the rate he's been bouncing around in there, I think he's getting excited, too.  He's been pretty active since the beginning (I first felt movement around...
