So ready!

Well, I have less than a month now, and I feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe someday I will get to stop being ginormous and I will have a little baby! It seems possible now.  Plus we finished the nursery this weekend, and it everything a little baby could want....or more than a baby will care about or want, more like its everything I want. Oh except it doesn't come with a diaper changer.  Unless...., oh Corey, I have a job for you! I have even packed my bag for the hospital! So, I'm ready, I don't know what she is waiting for! I suppose I should finish writing my sub plans first, but I find myself less and less concerned about those.

The camera makes me look smaller than I really am.

We got a play and pack that would work for a boy as well,, and maybe a dinobot theme, but that meant that it didn't match the rainbows of this room, so I sewed up this little curtain thingy using material from a project that I never finished.
Double awesome.

I even have a changing table.  Not necessary, but the flat file was there so, why not use it as a changing table.  The other part of this room is still my art room, except, now it is only an art corner and closet.  sigh.

Glitter bikes and Glitter milkweed seeds (I like to think of them as wishes waiting to come true!). I made these when I discovered that I could take a photo and use my computer to make it in as many colors as I wanted, very fun.

More glitter bikes! Again, I made these for fun, but now they have a perfect home, I do hope she likes bikes.

More wishes.

Finally, I think I think I went to far, but couldn't stop myself.  I made sure that everything that I will be using for the next baby too matched.  It wasn't like I had to go out of my way to do it, so why not right?  I just feel a little OCD.  Never thought I would do this.

Glitter Cloud Mobile

I'm having a baby girl.  Katie May will be her name, and she will be immersed in glitter and rainbows, not because I think that one must have a baby theme or anything, but because it is fun, and I love glitter and I love rainbows!  I will love this little girl.  So I made her a mobile, a glitter cloud mobile.  This was truly a labor of love, the process being a bit more complicated than I thought.  I used air dry, ultra light clay stuffed with balls of toilet paper, and then of course covering the clouds with white paint and glitter. I attached the ribbons using a needle and glue. I'm still adding the sparkle bead rain drops, by using fishing line and an upholstery needle.  I'm pretty sure there is no mobile as cool as this anywhere else.  I did searches, I found nothing this cute. 

Update

I thought I was really big before, but apparently, that was just the beginning.  It is amazing to me how slow time can pass, the last pictures of me that I posted seem like soooooo long ago.

Appreciating Finley

We went for a walk in the hills and a drive in the country.  It was particularly beautiful and mysterious.  My mom and Dad used to call foggy weather "Unicorn Weather".  I love it, I love fog, because I love thinking about unicorns hiding in it. Of course out in Finley, the Unicorns might wear overalls and have a piece of wheat hanging from their lower lip, but they would still be magical.  Giddy-up Magic Unicorn Hayseed!

Christmas and Cats

A few pictures from our first Christmas.  It was sweet, and very nice, but I think it is going to be a lot more fun when we have a little one.

Corey says that this is a picture of "my boys."  However, there is only one boy in this picture,
the other being is a cat, a cat that I love, but still a cat.  Corey forgets sometimes that Loki,
or Walter as we are now calling him is a pet and not a child.
This is one reason that I am eager to have a real kid, because I don't know how
I feel about being married to a man that thinks a cat is his child.
 It's sweet but weird.

I really do love this holiday, and I wish I could leave the tree up all year long, maybe just redecorate it form time to time. I hope you had  a merry Christmas and I hope the Spirit of it stays with you all year long.

As Requested

So this is what I look like.  I feel like a hot air balloon, and it makes me very nervous to think this is only half way!  But looking at the pic, I'm probably not as big as I feel!

At the Temple

Christmas Pajamas!  I really love these things, I feel like a little kid!

Ah yes, I almost forgot, as of today. I'm working on week 21.  Woot Woot!

Windy day

It was so windy last time we passed through the Gorge!  We stopped at Vista Point to play.  It was the kind of wind that held us up when we leaned against it and that pushed us back when we jumped.  It was also very fun to watch everyone else playing around in the wind, I think everyone was surprised at the ferocity of it.  It was delightful.

We ended with a hike up to Angel's Landing.  It is not a very long hike, but it was about all I could handle.  Even though I have been feeling so much better lately, my energy is still low and I still can't go more than two hours without eating.  As short as this hike was and despite the fact that we ate a meal during the hike, we were still cutting it too close. By the time we got into Hood River to eat, I was frantic for food.  Corey says that I was quite a spectacle in the restaurant. Demanding milk from the hostess as soon as I walked in the door, standing on the top rung of a bar stool demanding a menu and panicking when the appetizer failed to arrive within a minute.    

 I don't really know what he was talking about. It could have gotten much uglier than it did.
