Winding Down

I have so enjoyed my summer, spending time with Gavin, watching him grow and learn and discover, but the time is drawing near when he won't be the only one I'm watching! Tomorrow marks the 37 week point leaving three weeks until Baby "olive" potentially arrives.

Scott, Gavin, and I are all preparing for this huge change that is about to happen! Gavin and I had a heart to heart yesterday about what is about to happen and he seems ready for the challenge! He told me he that he knows sissy will cry and that sissy will take lots of mommy's time and energy and he also knows that when mommy goes to the hospital to have sissy that she will "be right back". Every baby he sees he reminds me that it's like sissy! I am amazed at how much he actually gets. As for what else is going on in that little mind...One can only imagine!

I'm preparing by procrastinating! It's great! Somehow it makes me feel better. Like I can't worry about actually having a baby until all my ducks are in a row and since my ducks are currently scattered all over the place...I wont even begin count down the days!

Scott is preparing by hiring extra cashiers at the market! He informed me the other day that my due date isn't ideal timing because it falls on the Friday before Labor day...no pun intended... and that isn't a great time for him to be gone from work! (As if I alone was the one that put this whole master plan in order and chose to be due on the second busiest grocery holiday of the summer! ) 

Prepared or not, she's coming, and she's coming soon! We couldn't be more thrilled!

The dresses are SUPER easy. Use this tutorial: http://www.jenleheny.com/pillowcase-dress-instructions. Also, check out some of my "around the web" links on the side. Some of these are awesome fabric designers that post free sewing patterns and tutorials for super cute projects on their blogs. Good luck, sewing, my friend! I wish you lived closer, then we could have some sewing afternoons together.

The Family!

A rare shot of the three of us at Scott's 30th Birthday Party! I'm looking a little bit tired in this one, and believe me...I was!
