Preggers

Nooooo sillys, not right now... I was previously preggers.  I'm just starting from the beginning.  I'm a little late on a 'wheeee new baby!' post, so I thought I would back it up even further. Here I am on the night before I gave birth to each boy. 

Are you seeing a difference there?  Uh, look at my face! With Jack, I gained FIFTY {ugly} el b's.  With Bentley, I gained 20 {oh look, it's a BAAABY in there} pounds.  I totally attribute that to a paleo/primal diet.  More on that later. I just wanted to share this little tidbit because I find it funny and/or frightening.

Next up... my 'it's a boy' {named JACK} post.  Approximately 2 1/2 years later.  So what??!

Bubbles!

The other day I heard some serious giggling coming from the bathroom where Chris was giving Jack his bath...

this is what I saw-

This guy loves his daddy!

Coffee Table Love

So, you might be aware of my LOVE for paint and using it to turn our ugly furniture into something I can live with and dare I say, like! 

Well, we have a C.H.E.A.P coffee table that, yes, serves it's purpose, blah blah blah... boring.  I decided to do a little perk me up on the ugly thing that involved 1 yard of fabric, 1 foam cushion and some leftover black paint and primer from this table and chairs project. 

The fabric was on clearance at fabric.com, so that was only $6.  The foam is ridiculously expensive, but of course I never buy anything from JoAnne's unless it's on sale or I have a coupon, so with my 50% off coupon I think it was around $15. 

So for just over $20, we have a new-ish coffee table that I actually like!  Yippie! 

BEFORE PICS (you must admit, UGLY!)

AFTER PICS... better?

Wait, wanna see the before again?

And the whole room...

I love it!  I do wish the stripes were lengthwise, but that would have required buying more than 1 yard and I was on a budget.  Otherwise, why not just buy a whole new table? 

I found a tray at Goodwill for 2$ that I will be using for drinks as soon as I...

wait for it...

wait for it...

paint it.

Haha, not kidding.

A bib for the boy

This is my most recent project for little man... this bib is totally pratical and we use it every day.  He even likes it because it's a little smaller than the store bought ones and I guess must be more comfortable. 

And, hello, he sure looks cute in it!

This is him posing for the picture... I have to tell him to show me his teeth and then he does this  :)

I used oilcloth so it can be wiped off after meals... and those are snaps on the front so you can fold the pocket down to clean out all the gooey bits. 

Mmmmmm gooey bits. 

More posing.

And the bib in action...

Wow!  Look at it catch the flying oatmeal and blueberries! 

A Mini Project for a Mini Man

I whipped up a couple onesies for Baby B the other day.... totally random project... I was cleaning out my sewing area and found lots of leftover onesies from a different project long ago. I was so excited to find them (totally lame) and realized I could whip up something super fast and get a little reacquainted with my sewing machine (weeee!).

Which desperately needs a cleaning... gotta get on that.

 The 'B' is for baby, boy, Bentley, boogers... whatever you want!

 And a little argyle for my newest little man.  Snazzy.

 Hello baby B!  I'm your big brother Jack!

As a side note, I may have to stop letting Jack play with the camera... he changed a setting and the pictures are all grainy... annoying.

Because it really, reallllllly doesn't get any better than this...

This is Jack praying before a meal... for the looooongest time, he wouldn't put his hands together or wait for us to pray or anything and then one day out of nowhere, he started praying with us before the meal... I seriously can't take the cuteness!! 

Watch all three... they are SUPER short.  Enjoy!

Also, notice how in the second video he has to take a 'pre-prayer' bite... that happens a lot.  :)

Whoops, I have a blog.

Well, there went January without a single post.  Did you miss me? 

Sure you did.

I've recently lost the small amount of motivation and inspiration I once had.  Could it be the baby I'm busy growing?  I know I don't really have to "do" anything to grow this baby, so why is it so hard to do anything?? Know what I mean?  I'm already 6 months pregnant, so well past the first trimester, but man, I'm tired! 

Could it be the super busy boy I'm chasing? 

 Maybe. 

Speaking of, here's some pictures of the boy having fun in the snow...

That's right, I said fun in the snow.  I don't get it, but I do vaguely remember having such 'fun in the snow' when I was little. 

 Not anymore people!

And don't be fooled by the cute smile... he was just getting ready to blast his daddy with a snowball.

hehehe

So, my due date is May 27th and IT'S A BOY!  A brother for Jack!  Yay!

And, that's all for today... don't judge me.
