Progress

Tonight was quilt club and I love it! I got a lot done today and decided that crazy nine patch is my FAVORITE pattern. It is easy and the rules are sort of thrown out the window. I am even more happy with my fabric choices. These aren't the finished product. I still need to make several more blocks and then square them up. I will keep updating!

Piper's blanket

This will be a short post. For those who wanted to see what colors we have chosen for Piper's blanket here is the picture. I will post updates and I get the blanket going. I missed my last class because John and I went on a date. Those are few and far between!

Baby Update

Wow two posts in the same week I must be getting organized again! I had my Dr.'s appointment today and things are still going well. My blood pressure was a little low but not so much that the Doc. was worried. I didn't gain or lose any weight in the past month so I am VERY proud of myself. The baby is growing but thankfully I am not! :) I am now down to going every two weeks. Piper will be here before we know it and I am so EXCITED! So is Mallory; she can't wait to be a the big helper and take care of Sadie and Piper. What a great big sister!

Can you guess which is Mallory and which is Sadie?

Never too late..

It has been a long week but an exciting one. We are officially moved into our new home and we LOVE it! It is a lot to clean and take care of but it feels like home. Thank you to all that helped move us. I was on the sidelines again because of my ever growing tummy and appreciated all the help from you. I would like to get out official thank you cards but I can't seem to find them. All of the rooms are mostly unpacked and put away except for Piper's room and the office.

I have included pictures of the new house, Mallory, and Sadie. I can't believe how big these girls are getting. It seemed like only yesterday Sadie had the toddler look and now she looks like a little girl. Time goes by so fast!

Happy Valentine's Day

In a little over 90 days we will have another bundle of love in the house. John and I are so grateful for our little family and the blessings we have. There are too many things that I love about John, Mallory, and Sadie that I won't bore you with the HUGE list; I will just say I LOVE YOU ALL! Happy Valentine's Day!

Yes this is an old picture but I LOVE it! Sadie was only 5 months old.

January Kid Kard

Here is Mallory's latest from preschool.

perfect....I know my opposites...WOW!
perfect...I recognize letters H-N....all but N
almost...I can write my name without an example...
almost...I can cut with scissors...
perfect...I know how to take care of my body...mac and cheese, exercise, showers to clean me
not yet...I am brave...she said "NO!"

As you can see Mallory does have some things to work on but is progressing nicely. I can see a big difference in her since she started. Everyday that she gets to go to preschool she can't wait to get there an has a hard time sleeping the night before. I wish I would have had that same excitement towards school.

Doctor's Appointment Update

I had another appointment today and things are going well. I gained one whole pound. WAHOO! Piper's heartbeat was strong and we even heard her with her hiccups. Poor little girl. I get to take the lovely glucose screening test in a couple of weeks. After my next appointment I will go and see him every 2 weeks. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. I get to start on her crib bedding this week in my quilt club. I will do my best to post pictures as the quilt progresses.

Also on a football note.... Way to go STEELERS!
