Fun things I made for baby

My mom helped me make this super cute nursing cover with some extra fabric I had laying around... I thought it would be cute to make Morgan a little one that she can use to pretend she is feeding her baby doll while mommy nurses the baby!

My aunt got me one of these baby bean bag things when I had Morgan and I thought it was the most useful thing ever! I had morgan sleep in it all the time and thought it would be fun to make one for this baby...

With left over fabric I had to dedorate these burp cloths and wipe case! I love doing crafty things!


My friend Liesl has one of these "car seat tent covers" and I thought it was such a clever idea... You put it over your carseat to keep out the sun, wind, lights, or just to keep people from looking at or touching your baby when you dont want them to...Anyways I thought it looked pretty simple to make so I asked her if I could write down the demensions to make my own... Here is the finished product... I was having a hard time finding a matching fabric for the back side so Paul had this great idea to make it reversible so that I could use it again if we later have another girl! I thought it turned out super cute... The green and brown side is obviously the one I will have showing when the baby is in his carseat..

Baby Update...

Well I went to the doctor today and found out that I am 1 cm dialated and about 40% effaced... I also had an ultrasound today to measure the baby to make sure that he isnt getting too big... Everything looked good and the ultrasound measured the baby being around 7 pounds 11 ounces to 7 pounds 15 ounces but the doctor thinks that he is weighing more than that more around 8 pounds 4 ounces... Anywho the doctor said that if I want to go ahead and be induced a week early then he would go ahead and schedule me to be, So I will be going in to have this baby on Wednesday the 24th at 5 am!
These past couple of weeks I have been sewing a lot of things for the baby which has been a lot of fun... I will have to post pictures of all the stuff later... I am super excited for this baby to come yet nervous at the same time.... I pretty much have everything ready... All I really need to do now is get my place all nice and clean!
