HAPPY NEW YEAR!! So far, it has been pretty amazing. We were able to hang out with friends for New Year's Eve. Plus, I watched the Red Raiders perform an amazing comeback to win the Gator Bowl today. It was pretty kick ass! I got to see Brother on the sideline and every time I heard that bell ringing I was so happy to know he was there and doing his best to help out the guys. My parents were also at the game and it just made it that much more special. Tech football is a tradition my family has been able to share for as long as I can remember, so finishing the season with a win is always a good thing.
Okay, as promised, here are a couple of updates.
Whale Purse
This is the teeny tiny purse I made for my niece when we were bored. She uses it to carry around her travel kleenex. I had a scrap piece of both fabrics and the ribbon is from a gift that I'd received a while back. I was so excited I was able to use my snap button hand tool. This was a fun project because we were both able to pitch in and make it. The entire project took just under an hour for us to make, the majority of that time was us deciding what to make.
Nursery Pics
We didn't really have a theme for the nursery. I did want to incorporate dragonflies with the colors lavender, turquoise, and sage. The room was already painted that chocolate milk color and I didn't want to go and repaint it. All of the furniture in the nursery is an ebony color.
Ok, so that's about it. I'll take some more pictures when the glider comes in and I'll soon get another belly picture. She's just a-growin' bigger and bigger everyday and it is pretty amazing. Next Monday I start going to the doctor every week for them to check to see of any beginning labor symptoms. I don't want her to come early, well, at least not until the nursery is ready, ready.
I started to pack my hospital bag. So far, I have some socks, a change of comfy clothes, slippers, the rosary my grandmother gave me, and the teeny tiny picture of my momma. The last two are just small bits of emotional support for me to have. I'm still shopping around for my nursing gown to wear in the hospital, as well as a take home outfit for the both of us. Oh and I need to put some snacks in there. What else should I put in there?
