Baby Bump and Finished Car seat Cover

This is the finished car seat cover with fabric buttons. I think it turned out cute! Now I am just excited to actually use it!

I took this picture for my little sister last week, this is me 35 weeks pregnant. The funny thing is I am even bigger than that now. (I know hard to believe but it is true). I tried to get good lighting, but it did not work. Oh, well, hopefully the next picture will turn out better.

Car Seat Cover

So I am not a crafty person....at all. So this is why I am so proud of my car seat cover. I saw these super cheap car seat covers at the mall for $50 and thought, there is no way I am going to pay that much. So I did a little research and with the help of Brandon's cousin, Charlyn, found a tutorial on how to make them. It was even iditiot prooof because it showed pictures. And the best part, all of the material only cost $12. I am still going to put cute little fabric flower on the two velcro pieces, I just need to get a few more items before I tackle that part. I am not goin go to lie, I did have this as the center of my living room all weekend so that I could admire it. Hopefully this is the start to a more crafty Julie. Just had to share my little project. Madelyn is going to love it :)

High Five

I went to the doctor today and was kind of nervous because I thought I had gained alot of weight in the past two weeks and I knew the nurse was going to say something to me. Instead, I got a huge high five.  I  had lost a  pound in the last two weeks, which bring my grand total up to only 2 pounds! I am 32 weeks pregnant and only 2 lbs heavier. What makes it so much better is that the baby is healthy and there is no problems there. I was feeling pretty good about myself, all of those guilty feelings for having 2 cupcakes yesterday has gone away :)

70 Days and Counting.....

We are down to only 70 days, which equates to 10 weeks or 2 1/2 months. Alot of different ways to look at it. We now have the crib, car seat, stroller, bouncer, swing and enough clothes to last her for the first year. I have a feeling she is never going to be in need of want of anything. But she will be dressed cute, there is not doubt about that. I am still doing pretty good, even though the bigger I get the more uncomfortable is it is do just basic things like get out of cars. Who would know that something so simple could be so troubling? Of course I have a million things I want to get accomplished before she comes like do the many projects I have bought material for and never started. I guess it is a good thing that 10 weeks is a long time :)

Old House

Here are a few pictures from the place we just moved from. We loved it, very big and spacious, washer and dryer, 2 bedrooms. The place we moved to is still nice, but not as roomy. I will try to get those pictures posted shortly. Of course there are still boxes and things in our new place :)

Pictures as promised

Our new crib! We are super excited for the new crib that we got to pick out while in Kansas City and that Brandon's parents so gracioulsy got us. The crib comforter is above, so it is not what is in the picture. I can't wait until we get it all put together.

I know I have been a complete slacker in keeping this blog updated. I will honestly try to do better. I wanted to post a picture and the only one I had available at work is our new family picture, so I thought that would work. We got a great time in Kansas City for Brandon's birthday. We loved visiting the Hendrickson's and wish we could have stayed longer. I only have 3 more basketball games left and we are really looking forward to those being over. Brandon starts his new job as a banker on Tuesday and we are both excited for that oppurtunity (and the increased income) that comes with that. I am 24 weeks pregnant, so only 16 more to go. I wish those weeks would come sooner. We can't wait for little Madelyn to join our family. Life is good for us :)
