It’s a boy!!!

Born Friday, he’s a healthy one at 9 lbs 1 oz :). Don’t know whether we’ll get to see him tomorrow or Wednesday, but it looks like we’ll get to bring him home (to Mom’s) on Monday.  It was supposed to be Thursday, but the birthmother’s attorney is on vacation this week, aarrggh!!! Chris is…

No baby yet

We didn’t get any word on Thursday about the birthmother’s doctor appointment.  I spoke to the attorney’s office, and they didn’t hear from her either, so we thought they might have admitted her like they threatened to last week.  I didn’t hear anything yesterday, though, and so I’m left just wondering if anything is happening.…

Quilting

We’ve been passing the time waiting (nope, baby isn’t here yet) by working on our sewing projects, one of which is a toddler bed-sized quilt. We used the leftover popcorn chenille from the crib bumpers (haven’t finished those yet – still need to do the bias trim, so I don’t have pictures), green linen, yellow…

I’m here! Baby shower! Still waiting…

So, I made it to Louisiana safely.  Luckily, on the drive back to town from New Orleans, I got a text from Chris that a continuing resolution had passed, funding the government until Thursday, so he WILL get paid this week.  Yay!  That takes some pressure off, certainly! Yesterday, Emily and one of my mom’s…

About to get on a plane!

My flight leaves in four hours!  I’m so excited I can barely stand myself!  On my way home at last… Yesterday was quite a stressful day in our house.  My car ended up back in the shop, for one, after costly repairs just two weeks ago.  And the fact that the budget has still not…

Getting nervous

One more full day until I get on a plane, and the nerves are definitely kicking in. I’ve sewn 8 flannel receiving blankets (8th one not pictured) – My bag is packed…mostly. I have to take the car for an emissions test in the morning, and then I’m just finishing up laundry and double-checking my…

4 days until I’m on a plane!

These weeks have been passing so quickly!  I can’t believe it’s already April! I finished putting the organizers up in the nursery closet.  We don’t have a dresser, but I don’t think we’ll need one with these handy shelves and buckets. I’m almost packed – I have all the baby stuff in a suitcase, but…

Look what came in the mail!

  My very own Maya wrap, made by my wonderfully talented sister!  It’s made from gorgeous teal linen fabric with lime-green stitching, a pocket for an extra diaper, and it fits beautifully. And I think Ozzy enjoyed it.  I was sure he’d complain or refuse to get in, but he liked it!  I was wandering…

Nursery pictures (mostly) done

I love how they turned out!  I haven’t finished the third one yet, because I accidentally messed up one of the papers, so I’ll have to make another trip to Hobby Lobby for another sheet of the yellow. I ended up buying the frames from Art to Frames on Amazon.  They were reeeaaally cheap, and…
