Welcome to Motherhood... this is my online journal to share my experiences.

The last 7 years have been filled with the antics of my precious little man Sean. Now it will be the fun filled stories of not only my continued journey through motherhood, but Sean's journey as a big brother, and seeing the world through Andrew's eyes.

Counting Down to Andrew...

Three more days... I can't believe he is almost here. Had my last OB appointment today and I must be contracting and not feeling it because I'm dialated to 1cm. Nothing to write home about... however, it's making me wonder if all the pressure I think is Andrew pressing out against me are really contractions. Tonight before dinner I was having some of those that were a bit more uncomfortable, but they were only 7-10 minutes apart for about an hour and went away. Of coarse I have NO idea if I'm really contracting since I've been dealing with round ligament and sciatic pain for the last 3-4 months.

In either case he's coming Monday... worse case I go into labor or my water breaks and he shows up sooner. Washing my laundry tonight, just in case ;)

More Minky Blankets for Andrew

I think Baby Andrew is going to be set on blankets... I still have 2 more to finish :)





Sean's Rock & Roll Quilt


Since I was making a quilt for Baby Andrew and Sean has since outgrown his baby quilt I made him a new one with some of his favorite things. Sean was VERY excited to have a new quilt and couldn't wait to use it.

More Minky Receiving Blanket Photos





Not all my family and friends "subscribe" to the cult addiction called Facebook, so I thought I would post the pictures of Andrew's minky blankets.
I'm going to try to finish a few more and Sean's quilt today.

Andrew's Quilt Is Officially Done

I finished Andrew's quilt today and I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. It's bigger than a standard crib quilt which is nice because he can use it well into his toddler years.

Sean's Rock Star quilt top is finished and I have the batting and backing material for it. I will hopefully finish it this weekend so he has a new quilt. He outgrew his baby quilt LONG ago, since it was a much smaller size.

Since I've been on a sewing kick I made some minky blankets, burp cloths, and I'm working on some diaper covers. NO, I'm not doing cloth diapers. However, during the Texas heat when Sean was a baby he wandered around in a t-shirt and diaper alot, so I thought I'd make some cool diaper covers (similar to bloomers) that were cool and funky for boys. We'll see how those turn out :)
