Only 10 Weeks To Go!!

I can't believe there are only 10 weeks left until we meet our sweet baby girl (I say sweet but I am a little worried she is going to come out with an attitude since she likes to kick her mommy all day and night). Haha I wonder where she would get an attitude from? It's not like her mom or dad have one at all (just kidding, she will get it honest).

I have reached the point in the pregnancy where I have to go to the doctor every 2 weeks. My next appointment is next week. Everything seems to be going well. Sleeping hasn't been as easy as it used to be...the belly is getting bigger and heavier which makes it difficult to get comfortable at night. Other than that, I am feeling great. I did learn that wearing heels is a thing of the past until this baby arrives. Yesterday I had my first shower (more on that in my next post) and I wore heels because I didn't have any other blue shoes to match my dress. By the end of the day my back was hurting bad and still is. I think I will stick to my Sketchers tennis shoes!

The nursery is coming together. I bought and painted letters for the wall and hung them up with 3M picture hanging strips which are similar to velcro so I was able to take them down in order to keep the name a secret until she arrives. All I have to do is stick them back up once the name has been revealed.

I keep dreaming up craft projects to do because as the girls at work say, "Ciji would build her own house if she could." This statement is very true and if I think I can make something cheaper or more unique than buying it then I that's what I do. This past Saturday morning I woke up with an idea...I wanted to make my own covers to go on the crib railing. I had registered for a rail cover but it wasn't really the color I wanted. I can't sew but I need to learn because a lot of the projects I come up with need some sewing skills. Mom and I went out shopping like we do almost every weekend and we found some really cute "bumpy" soft fabric at Joann's. I needed some kind of backing to make the fabric have more shape so I picked up some of that as well. I came home and started working on my rail covers. The backing is iron on so that was nice, plus I had some iron on hemming tape so I used it to hem all of the edges. The hemming tape was also helpful in making my bedskirts for the crib that I bought when Domestications was going out of business for $1 each! Today I put iron on velcro on the covers to keep them on the crib and taaa daaa...I have rail covers! Now, when baby girl starts teething she won't eat the side of the crib! Don't mind the mess in the crib, I am still organizing the shower gifts.
