21 months & 28+ weeks

Lily turned 21 months on Tuesday, March 13.

Here she is last year at 9 months.

Where has the time gone?

And today we got to see our 28+ week old baby.

The baby is measuring further a long than 28 weeks.

The doctor says the baby is around 3 pounds.

Lily came at 38 weeks. I am thinking this will be a May baby.

sewing projects

I've been working on a few sewing projects recently. Some for the baby, some for gifts & some for "clients."

Recovered the Rocker & Pillow for the Baby's Room

Next sewing project. . . . sewing Lily's Easter dress.

exciting news

Yesterday, on Leap Day 2012, my sister Lindsay got engaged to Chris.

So so so happy for them!

our crazy girl & mommy at 26 weeks

After church I told Lily to stand against the wall & say "cheese." Here is what we got!

Lily has been CRAZY recently & such a goof ball, but she is so much fun.

I am 26 weeks now. I kept track of my belly growth (with Lily's pregnancy) by writing on a fabric tape measure. Right now I am measuring the same as Lily at 19 weeks. 7 weeks behind! And my belly has only grown a 1/2 inch in the last 4 weeks. I guess the fabric tape measurer doesn't lie, but I sure feel like my belly is sticking out more & more each week.

Another cheeser from Lily.

Before & After - dresser

Jake was off on Monday & Tuesday for President's Day & Winter Break. Lily & I LOVED having him home. He is so great with Lily - such an awesome Dad & a wonderful husband. It was so nice to have help while I worked.

Jake & I have been working in the baby's room. We got rid of our full size bed this weekend (praise be!). I have been making a yard sale pile as I organize & sort & reorganize, etc.... On Saturday we went & got paint; Jake painted the dresser yesterday & today.

BEFORE - This dresser was my great-Grandma Tuttle's. It's been in the family for a while.

DURING
Lily played while Daddy & Mommy worked.


AFTER - We saw this HERE & loved it. I already knew that we were going to keep the walls grey & accent with yellow. So we totally copied the idea.
I have already picked out & shipped fabrics to my mother-in-law for the baby's quilt. Remember when she made Lily's baby quilt? Now I need to sew drapes, recover a rocker & much much more.

happy valentine's day from lily

Remember THIS last year.

valentine's day at OUR house

Lily's Valentine's that she will be handing out.

I found this Oreo Cupcake recipe HERE.

They are good. I will be making them again.
