Bobby's Room Update

I got brave (or dumb) and decided to make the curtains for Bobby's room without using a pattern. Considering this is my first attempt at sewing something entirely on my own, I have to say I'm pretty proud. Just don't look too closely for mistakes! Ha! I have come to realize I'll never be a great seamstress though because I'm not a detail-oriented person. But, this'll do just fine, I think!

 

One other thing we got done this weekend was getting the letters of his name hung up.

Now all that's left is to get his Bible verse written on the wall, complete the diaper stacker and make a sling to carry him in. My MIL is making me a nursing cover, too. I'm getting so excited! Hope the next 3 and a half weeks go by quickly!

Ooooohhhhh (She now says Oh)

It's the Weekend!

This week has been pretty uneventful. The days have gone by slowly and we've managed to get to bed early nearly every day this week. Isabelle has been extra sleepy this week, which I believe is from getting ready to cut another molar. She has been ready for a nap about an hour after she wakes up. There have been days where she could take 4 naps if I'd let her. One day I let her take 3 and we kinda paid for it during the night. But, other than that, she's done pretty well. III came home early from work on Tuesday with some major tooth pain. The dentist got him all fixed up, and we were able to enjoy most of the day together. It was so great to have him home at a normal hour! He finished up his huge paper for school and now has just two more 15 page papers to write and one more class to do and then he'll graduate with his bachelor's degree!! So proud of him!! He's such a hard worker for our family and we are blessed that God has chosen him to be the head of our household! Love my treasure!

In just a few days, I'll be 36 weeks pregnant and the doctor says that if I go into labor anytime after 36 weeks they won't try to stop it. So...bring on the baby! I'm so thankful that I've had such an easy pregnancy and that we're nearing the end and about to meet our little boy! I wonder how different it will be to have a little boy to love on? I'm betting it's going to be tremendous! I've dreamed about the day when I would have the honor of welcoming RWCIV into the world! I hoped it would be me to do so, and I'm so thankful God has allowed me the privilege to! So, come on out our little Sparty baby...!!

Speaking of babies, my SIL and brother found out this week that they will be welcoming another boy into their brood. His name will be Joshua John II after my brother. Here's their oldest two kids, Gabriella (4) and Isaiah (3).

Well, baby girl is waking up from her morning nap. Time to go do some walking so I can enjoy some delish decaf coffee tonight with my hottie! Have a great weekend!

Fun Weekend

Isabelle and I had a pretty eventful weekend. On Friday we spent the day with my mom, her husband, and my brother and went to the Gibraltar Trade Center in Mount Clemens. We had a lot of fun shopping and just taking our time to look at everything. We spent about 3 hours there and by the time we were done, it was hard for me to walk, being 35 weeks pregnant....but it was worth it! After that we went to my grandma's house to visit her and my aunt.
Once we were done there, they dropped us off to my in-laws house for the weekend. My SILS and BILS came over, too. I let Isabelle stay up really late all weekend so that the family could enjoy her. (She is making up for her lack of good sleep right now!) One thing I noticed this weekend was that she seemed to be a lot more comfortable with everyone. She did fine with mostly anyone holding her and it was really neat to see. She's growing up so quickly and I'm loving it!

Grandpa found the way to her heart. Cupcakes!

Walking with Aunt Beck and Grandma Susie to the car after church

She loves to sing to the "Fishes" song from the Elmo video that Uncle Jim and Aunt Lisa got her. There have been times when she's almost asleep for her nap and hears that song come on and wakes right up to sing it. Precious!

Sunday I got to sing during the "C" service with the worship band! Man, how I miss CSC and especially singing with Beck! It was great fun to worship God together with my family, as well!

Fashion Accessory

Dear Baby Sweetie,
Although Aunt Becky would probably be very proud of you for picking the right color to accessorize your outfit, I just think that you should know that a dish towel doesn't qualify for a scarf, hat, or headdress. Good try, though, baby girl.
