Finally!

Last night we had our final "Prepared Childbirth" class at the hospital.  And we FINALLY had the tour of the maternity ward which was the part of the class that Paul and I were most looking forward to.  Although I really don't have anything to compare it to, as I haven't been in a maternity ward since my youngest brother was born, it seemed pretty nice.  We walked through the whole thing, from arrival at the hospital, to registration, to labor and delivery, to postpartum.  And we go to peek at some super cute little newborns in the nursery which was the best part!  The women in the class were ooohing and ahhing and most of the men looked pretty nervous.  I asked Paul if he was ready for such a tiny baby to come into our lives and he said "I didn't think they'd be quite so little!"... I think he has a lot to learn!

I also had a doctor's appointment yesterday.  Everything is looking good and I go back in 2 weeks for one last ultrasound to check the baby's size and position.  After the ultrasound I go every week until he arrives! 

So that's the news... In the meantime I'm waiting to hear whether my best friend is expecting a boy or a girl this time around and the suspense is killing me!!!

February: What Shadow Looks Like

  (Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.”  I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one.  We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days.  It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill.  The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect.   I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot.  I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls!

A Bit of Sewing….

I’ve been on a sewing kick lately- made a few things for Eliza that I thought I’d share (of course, I also have a list about a mile long of things I really need to get working on for Christmas, but bumped them all to make these little, totally not needed but too cute to resist, pieces…). First up is another Geranium Dress from the pattern by Made by Rae .  The pattern is for a sleeveless dress or one with cap sleeves but I really wanted long sleeves so I drafted my own and they worked out perfectly!  The fabric is a super soft baby corduroy.  I made a mistake and sewed the skirt on the wrong way- instead of picking it all apart though I decided to just cover my seam (which should have been on the inside- whoops, distracted!) with a  fabric band.  I used the same fabric for the lining in the bodice. On the patch pockets I stitched Eliza’s name- it says “Eliza” on one pocket and “Rose” on the other.. I wish I’d used the polkadot pattern for the pockets as I thi...

10 on 10: July

10 on 10: Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month . This year was our first fourth of July where it was just the 4 of us.  In the past Paul’s parents were living nearby and we’d all get together.  This year though we had a quiet day at home.   The kids splashed in the kiddie pool and Paul smoked up some ribs for dinner.  Yum! Now head on over to Kate Suzanne Photography - she just relocated to Asheville, NC and is sure to have a great 10 in 10!
