Flower and Vermont



Ok here is my finished project. I didn't know I could make a flower. It was super easy and I love it! It could actually be this huge 3 layers, but I made it my own, and I'm happy with it.I'm really going to love crocheting a lot more stuff now that I've figured out a little.

Derek left this morning for his medical school interview in Vermont. I know he is going to do great, but I can't help but be nervous. His flight is loading right now, so already that is better than his flight to Virginia. Any prayers our way would be appreciated. I'm excited, but I will feel better when he is home and all of this interviewing is done!

March will be a HUGE month for us. We will find out where we are accepted to medical school and get a baby girl. Whew. Can't wait.

31 weeks and my little cheezer


My latest projects. I have finished 3 burp cloths, and crocheted this super cute hat! Thanks so much Kim for the pattern, and thanks Shannon for getting me started over the phone! I ordered some cloth diapers today. Can you tell I'm a little nervous she is going to spit up as much as Kael?.... ;) Kael spit up until he was 12 months old after every feeding and SO MUCH. I'm getting prepared early. Also, I'm going to sew cute pink ribbon onto the cloth diapers to use for burp cloth and make them cuter. I'm excited!

The bump at 31 weeks... Here you go family who live far away.
And this is my little cheezer. He is so stinkin cute! He always tries to grab the camera when I want to take his picture so I have to hide it until the last second. He will be 18 months in February and I am way nervous, yet excited to start nursery... In our ward we have 7, YES 7 nursery classes. It will be interesting.

Nesting

I feel totally behind in preparing for Eden to get here. However, I KNOW I am not and that I have lots of time. So, I am considering myself officially in some sort of nesting stage of pregnancy.
-I'm cleaning my house better than I usually do.
-Creating lists upon lists. (Most of the stuff I want to do is not neccessary at this point. I mean I have 10 weeks left!)
-Starting fun projects.
I recently got a sewing machine (which I love so far!), and I might mention I haven't used one by myself since my 7th grade home ec class. A little scary, but a fun adventure!
I have also started crocheting again.
I just know that this little girl is going to be bald. I was bald till I was about 2 probably and I really want to be able to make my little girl look like a little girl... Any help out there will be appreciated!
I am going to be making her head bands, crocheted hats, and looking into jewelry.
Here is what I've done so far. I have crocheted around a receiving blanket, one head band done, and started crocheting around some burp cloths.
