Starting Out, Catching Up



So to catch up, this picture is from when I was 21 weeks pregnant. Nice little bump!

 
This is at 23 weeks (at Falls Creek camp with the youth group).

I had some maternity pictures done a few weeks ago, so more on the bump later, this is just the starting point!

At 18 weeks, we had the first ultrasound and we found out we were having a boy! In the car on the way home, we agreed on Eli for the first name, but it wasn't until weeks later we agreed on a middle name. Eli Samuel.

Some of my sewing projects. I've been seeing things I want to make, but have never been good at sewing... until I had my sewing machine fixed! It's amazing what can happen when the machine actually works. But still, I mostly tried to stick with straight lines. :)

A few of the flannel burp cloths.
A baby sling (we'll have to wait and see how this works!).
Little baby hats! This was tricky, with CURVED lines and KNIT fabric!
A 'patch' made with leftover fabric from the blanket (below).
The flannel blanket I made this summer. 
The nursery! It's all ready for Eli.
Aunt Rachel made the cute owl mobile for the crib! Thanks Aunt Rachel!

So, everything is ready, we're just waiting for him to come!

  1. The nursery looks adorable! We are so excited for little Eli to come!! I loved my sling especially with Levi, when I had an older child to chase! Are you registered anywhere?

    1. I am registered at Target and Amazon, but we really got most everything we need for now... I do want the Bumbo seat for later though. You don't have one do you? :) We'll be seeing all of you soon! Yay!
