A first.

Every year on Mother's Day our priest ask all the Mom's to stand up and he gives them a blessing. Every year I sit and proudly look up at my Mom and all the other wonderful Mom's who are standing. This year, after a little nudging, I stood. I am a Mom. Baby H is not here for everyone to see but he/she is here in me. I am starting to feel he/she move around and I can tell he/she is growing.

For the first time in my life, I got to stand and be blessed at church and I got to hear lots of lovely "Happy Mother's Day". I am blessed and thankful for this "first".

Happy Monday to all.

Happy Mother's Day Weekend!

I know it's early but,
Happy Mother's Day to my lovely Mom :)
Thank you for teaching me to be everything I am today. I love you!

TGIF

The week has flown by but I am still very thankful that it's Friday. I have been feeling baby H move a little each day, which is beginning to make the pregnancy feel a little more real. Ryan and I have been talking about how this little baby will be here before we know it. We are both excited, anxious, scared, and curious to see what baby H is going to do to our world.

Wishing all of you a happy Friday and lovely weekend!

Special Day

This week I am 18 weeks. We will be going today to get a sonogram of baby H. I am excited to see this little person inside me. We have decided NOT to find out the gender of the baby. We are going to wait and I couldn't be happier about this decision. Ryan on the other hand would like to know. So we made the agreement that if we wait to find out on the first child we can find out the gender for the next child.

I can't wait to see baby H's little head, fingers, and toes!

I hope to post a picture of our little one...

Happy Hump Day!

Bed

Exciting news... Yesterday, Ryan and I put the guest bed and dresser in storage AND the baby bed is put together!! It's amazing how much room we have now. I didn't really help with the assembly of the baby bed so all thanks goes out to my wonderful husband!! Happy Monday :)

Quilt

Like I promised...a peak at the wedding quilt. I have the front and back completely done and the entire quilt pined together. I started to sow the binding on but my sewing machine has started acting a little funny. So it's on hold till someone can show me how to fix my machine. (I'm probably going to go down to Mom's so she can help me!) Soon, very soon. Here is the entire quilt laid out. Not a great picture but it gives you an idea of how big it is.

Here is a close up...

And what the back is going to look like...

Luckily, I saved all the fabric leftover from wedding decorations and I had enough to complete the back! I didn't have to buy anything.
