Watch to find out the sex!

20 week pics + May & June Crafts

I'm 20 weeks!!! Yay! Here are my 20 week pictures for those who don't live near me. We find out the sex this week!

I have finally gotten around to posting about the past couple of crafts I have done. Honestly, I didn't do anything in May except lay on the couch. I did these two in June to make up for May. And I even broke out my sewing machine for the first time ever! The first one I did was a maternity band found here.

 This didn't turn out how I expected. It doesn't seem to fit me right and it seems big. Maybe I'm not big enough to wear it. It may have something to do with the type of fabric I used. I think the fabric is too stretchy and too thick. I may end up making another one and if that is the case, I will definitely use a different fabric. 

I also made some adorable bookmarks. I found the tutorial here. I made a practice one and sent another one to my sister Eden for her birthday. Thank you Rachel for the scrap fabric! 

I was not too happy with either one of these. Those corners were hard. If I sew in a straight line, I do alright. It's when I need to curve or turn when I sew that things go askew. I wish I was perfect at sewing without really having to try. But I'm not.

To end on a good note, my next post will be on our ultrasound! We can't wait! :)

i never thought i would say this...

I'm ready for Fall! I'm not looking forward to the cold weather. But it seems like after the 4th, things seem to go by really slow. I have been catching myself looking at Halloween and Christmas decorations. I am really tempted to start a Christmas craft. Christmas in July right??? I just can't wait to make pumpkin treats and make Halloween decorations. Maybe a Fall Scentsy will make Autumn come faster? And of course the fact that our baby is coming in December has nothing to do with my excitement.......... I honestly cannot wait for fall to come!

Our Summer Break

Here's an update on our baby...

We find out what we're having in 2 weeks! We cannot wait. I feel the baby move all the time now. I love it! Cory hasn't felt it yet. Every time I get him to put his hand on my tummy, the baby stops wiggling. Here are some pictures of my tummy for your viewing pleasure. 

Here I am at 11 weeks.

This is 12 weeks. Notice how bloated I am!

15 Weeks. Finally getting a little something other than bloat.

And 18.5 weeks. This was taken today. I finally have a bump and look preggers!

I would say I got a bump about 16-17 weeks-ish. It is kinda pointy... hmmm.

As for Cory and me, we have been enjoying our summer break. Cory goes back to school on Tuesday. It was so nice to spend the past few weeks together. Besides playing lots of video games, we did a few other fun things...

We visited Carthage Jail and Nauvoo

We went to a baseball game.

And we had lots of playing with this little guy.

Now that I am not feeling so sick, I can start my life here in Davenport. I need to figure out what else I can do besides crafting. Any ideas? Maybe get a job within walking distance?? UGH. More crafting and more reading??? I need something to do! I have done a couple of little craft projects. I'll post about those later. In the meantime maybe I'll try out some new recipes.
