Sewing Machine

I decided I need to be a little more "domestic", so for my birthday tomorrow I am going to get a sewing machine! Andrew is always saying I have no "hobbies", only because he is a fishing fanatic. So since he has a hobby to spend lots of money on, I figure I might as well get one too, after all I'm not getting any younger! I tried sewing classes in Jr. High and High School, but I didn't have very good teachers, so I didn't like it. I would just bring my sewing projects home and have my mom attempt to show me how to do it. But after seeing all the cute blankets and burp cloths you can make, I guess I will try it again. After all, my mom and grandma are awesome at sewing and always making cute things! So they can be my teachers for now- ha ha. I am thinking I will start with burp cloths and maybe a recieving blanket since they are relatively cheap and easy. Who knows, maybe a quilt will be in the near future! (yeah right!) So hopefully I will like it....
And just thought I would mention that Andrew's first final is in 3 weeks, hallelujah! I thought that since this was his last semester in the Bachelor program, they would go easy on them-noooo! This has been the worst semester so far in terms of never, ever seeing my husband! Between full time school and full time work, it sucks! I feel like some pregnant widow or something, lol. So I have been counting the weeks for a while now, and can't believe it's down to 3!

Diapers!

So when I got off work last night, I decided to stop at Babies r us to see what they had. They had pampers for $5 off a box, so I figured since they were on sale I would buy a box of them. It was really wierd to buy my first box of diapers! So I think I am just going to start buying a box here and there so we are stocked up a little. It is really weird to buy any baby stuff right now! There is so much in the store, it's a little over-whelming. I don't even know where to start. Bottles, binkies, bibs, diapers, clothes, strollers, cribs and everything in between! It stresses me out thinking about it. Anyway, Andrew has spring break this week, but I don't think we will even have time to go look at stuff. Only a month and a half until he is done at UVU, yay! Oh, and my stomach is definately bigger now, clients at work are asking if it's my first or when I'm due, so you can tell I'm pregnant! I'm not liking this larger extension of me, it's wierd! But I have felt the baby moving every day for about 2 weeks now, and I can feel it outside with my hand too! He is a strong little thing. Andrew hasn't been able to feel it yet, he only moves once or twice in the same spot, and by the time I tell Andrew to try and feel it, it has stopped!

smooth sailing

I just thought I would say how blessed I have been so far to have such an easy pregnancy. (Fingers crossed!) I have had no morning sickness or nausea at all, in fact the only thing that has been bad, is how tired I have been-and my feet killing after being on them all day at work. But I will take fatigue over throwing up any day! So hopefully it will continue to be smooth sailing until the little guy comes :) and until then, just alot of sleeping in! Hopefully easy pregnancy doesn't = hard baby! I'm already over 21 weeks, it's crazy how fast the time has gone, he will be here before I even know it!

Too much to do!

So, in the last week I have probably seen Andrew for a total of 8 hours, mostly at night when I get off of work. Which leaves no time to go out shopping for baby things that we need to get! I have been looking around online and there are SO many choices for cribs, bedding, strollers, etc. I don't know how anyone can ever pick what they want! I guess we still have four months, but seeing how fast the last four have gone by-I am kind of starting to stress out! We have almost nothing! I have 4 outfits and 2 blankets and that is it. So most likely I will just have to keep waiting until he graduates April 30th, and then maybe we can finally get everything. Oh-Andrew's brother did make an awesome dresser that we are using for the baby's room. He did a great job, it's perfect for a baby/little kid's room. So enough stressing for today, and I would like to say how much I do appreciate all of Andrew's hard work! (and school) That is why I never see him, which is why we waited so long to have kid's! So he will be done with school and I will be able to see him more then, which is when it will matter more anyway!
