Well it has certainly been awhile since I have posted. Life has been stressful to say the least. Husband got his ankle surgery and well I have just been overloaded. I am very tired almost all the time and entirely too stressed out. Thankfully we will be heading down to my parents next week so I can get a little break (and they can get some Monkey time). I have some projects I need to start on, however I just dont feel like I have the time or energy. Hopefully once husband's cast comes off things will get a little easier and I can start on my fun fun projects haha. I plan on making a cocoon for the Bean (probably waiting til we know the sex so I can do it in a color that works with baby). Its kind of like a swaddling blanket only you just put them down into it. I am also going to make Monkey a big Star blanket for her new bed (so that way when we switch her to a big girl bed it just seems even more special). I havent decided on the colors for that one just yet. I dont think I want to make her another pink one, but Im not too sure what color I do want to do. I may just let her pick out the two colors. I also have to get to work on an afghan for our good buddy in NY. I need that one done by Christmas, so I think I need to get started. It shouldnt take me long since it will just be a standard afghan. I plan on going threw my moms books to see if I can find a simple one that is still really nice. I also know that she has an insane amount of yarn laying around so I may sift threw all of that too for Bean's cocoon.
My friend Michell has gotten me bitten by the craft fairy yet again haha. She wants to get into sewing which is something I have been toying around with for a while myself. My mother keeps telling me she wants to make Monkey some play clothes (which will have to be put on hold because its turning into fall and winter) which of course got me wanting to. And now my friend has been telling me about making the bedding for her new little one on the way and I think that would just be wonderful to do. I'll also have a lot of time to do since we kept Monkey in our room until she was 6 months and I plan on doing the same with this one. So we wont use the crib until 6 months which gives me at least that long to find time to make it. Pretty excited about this, only problem is I need a sewing machine! I really just want a nice simple one. Doesnt have to be expensive and it most certainly doesnt need to do a lot of fancy things. The basics will do just fine.
OK so its pretty much expected for me to put something beyond weird in my blog. I think its been a little while since I've done it so here goes:
This is a creepy recurring pregnancy dream. I have a dream that my jaw hurts really bad and if I try to open or close it cracks and pops and hurts even more. Well finally the other night the dream got worse. My upper jaw came out of my mouth and I started spitting out my bottom teeth until I only had four left. I was crying and screaming in hysteria. It was awful. When I woke up...my jaw hurt. I still have dreams about my jaw hurting but thankfully everything is still intact.
