Easy craft: Winter Mitten Garland
December 9, 2010 by Shannon | 3 Comments
Maybe it was all of the snow that we got last week, but I’ve been struck by an uncontrollable urge to craft, craft, craft. Most of the projects are kid-focused, like this easy winter mitten garland. Isn’t it cute?
The not-so-bright side of having a new baby

I had forgotten how much I LUUUVE cuddling a baby. Is it not the best thing ever? The quiet moments…the smiles….the cooing…..that heavenly baby smell…..AAAAHHH. I am just soaking up every delicious moment. They more than make up for all the other, um, not-so-blissful aspects of having a newborn around.

Oh baby! This is getting nuts…

I’ve spent the last several days hoping for some progress on the baby front. I got checked on Wednesday, and started to show signs of early labor within a couple hours! Yay! Right?
Wrong.
Oh baby! Preparing the nursery

It’s no small undertaking to move while pregnant. You know how normally your nesting instinct goes into overdrive? You start to clean out the linen closet and reorganize the pantry, in addition to washing loads of little baby clothes? While my instincts were telling me to do all that, I did the opposite.
Oh baby! The latest progress report…

Prior to this week’s OB appointment, I’d had a few painful contractions. I’ve been feeling more pressure. In short, I’ve been feeling that there’s just GOT to be some progress on the baby front.
After this week’s appointment? I am convinced that my body and I are horribly out of sync with each other. Because while I was thinking progress, my body was apparently thinking status quo.
Oh baby! What am I getting myself into?

Everyone tells me my life is about to change dramatically. That two children don’t just double your workload – they triple or quadruple it. I wonder if I’m prepared.
