 Here are a couple little projects that I have finished recently.  Like I told Sara Joy, we don't have patterns or a color theme so these look totally random haha  The deer one is a receiving blanket.  I had a lot of fun with the stitches on my sewing machine with these projects and they were simple and quick which is what is fun for me right now haha 






Here is a very tired looking picture of me at 35 weeks 5 days! 



I found this in my emails while searching for an email.  My mom made this a while back when she got an app that made them so I thought I would share haha



Stewart found this and we thought it was pretty funny.

35 weeks down, 5 to go

We are getting so close! We finally feel ready with the materials we need to have a baby.  We went to the store and bought everything we would need for the first couple months, at least we think we did.  I am getting more and more uncomfortable as the weeks go on but I am doing my best to stay active, even though "active" is just walking or doing a pregnancy dance video that I get so so so tired from after the first ten minutes.  Oh well, it's something, right? She likes to hang out on my ribs a lot of the time.  And when I try move her away from my ribs, her head crushes my bladder... So.. it is a lose lose situation.  Anyway, we are just trying to prepare the best we can for this little girl to come into the world.  No, we don't have a name yet.  That just might have to wait until the hospital until the last minute that you can name a baby.  Cravings have kinda emerged the last few weeks.  I have just been wanting gummy sour candy for the past week.  Mostly I just crave something I see or didn't eat enough of, still.  Or if someone mentions something or somewhere to eat then changes where we eat, I have a hard time letting go of what I was planning on eating at the first place.  I am just hungry a lot.

We were able to go to Lori's baby's baby blessing this weekend.  We were to spend a lot of time with her family and Monica's family.  We even got to fix a fence at 11pm since Boone was gone and the cattle ruined the fence.  Mostly Stewart fixed it and I held the flashlight for it.  It was kinda creepy at first because Lori was trying to move the cows into the right pasture but they got completely spooked and started running through the fence.  Stewart and I were down by the gate they were supposed to go through and all we saw was sparks.  Then we went back to fix the fence and all the cows were just on the other side staring at us the entire time.  I would lift up the flashlight and just see their green eyes staring at us. haha Kinda freaky but we got it done.

If our baby sleeps as well as Henry does, I won't miss out on my naps or sleep at night.

6 weeks!

I am now at 34 weeks!!! We are nearing the end of this roller coaster! I have been doing pretty well, just uncomfortable most of the time, but that is to be expected.  I had some contractions (Braxton Hicks) that were pretty regular last week and I ended up calling the doctor because they were getting a little bit stronger as the day went on.  The nurse told me to take a bath, go on a walk, and down some fluids. Then they went away.  However, Stewart and I went bowling that night for a recruiting event and I got a little more contractions that night haha I am also so tired all the time.  I sleep for a few hours each night then take a nap every day.  Thankfully, Stewart is supportive of that as he is going to class and work and I am a stay at home wife :)  Anyway, baby is coming soon!




I have been trying to keep myself busy with projects.  In the last couple weeks I have made a baby quilt for Stewart's sister's baby, burp clothes, and started some Christmas placemats for a service auction we had for Relief Society.  Also, I have made so many new and old recipes recently.  I have made pumpkin bars, zucchini bread, applesauce, apple butter, Jama's apple pie, and cinnamon rolls.  I am also planning to make apple dumplings tomorrow because I have extra dough and we still have apples.  Stewart is always a great help in the kitchen, especially when he peeled, cored, and sliced all the apples!
