Another Project Done

So I've been thinking lately, and if any of you know my kids, you know that they don't ever slow down, and they definitely never stop. So I figure that I'm just going to be wearing this new kid around all the time because if I set it down for 2 seconds they'll be dragging it around or shoving stuff in it's mouth or who knows what else they'll think of. Anyway, I have one of the carriers that you wear on the front, but I don't think a newborn would be comfortable all sprawled out in it. So I've been looking into those sling things. Now, I've never worn one, and I didn't think I would. (I find myself doing a lot of things I never thought I would. ie: Drive a mini van :)) Anyway, some of them look funny when you wear them, and some of them look uncomfortable, so I don't know what to do. So when I was visiting teaching, one of our sisters was saying her daughter had just made one because she's due in a few days. So I found out some details. Turns out she just looked on the Internet and found a pattern. I figured, hey I can do that. So I did. I made the bigger one first, technically, the untappered one. They're both reversible and made out of the same material, so you get what they both look like. I followed they're sizing guide and everything, I even made it a little bigger, I thought. But when I got done I tried it on, and I didn't like it. It felt like it was around my neck. Now I know I have a big gut right now, but it just felt weird. So luckily I had enough fabric to make another one that was a little longer so it hangs down farther. I also decided to taper it because I didn't like all that fabric around my neck. So then I tried that one on, much better. But now we'll have to wait and see how it feels with a baby in it. I hope I don't have to wait much longer!! I'll let you know how the carrier works out!!

Finished!

As you all know, #3 should be here pretty soon. Better not be longer then 3 weeks because I am done. But anyway, I've been itching to make a blanket, but since we don't know what we're having it makes it kind of hard. So I decided to just make 2 small ones. A boy one and a girl one. And I'm finally done. I had to have one of my mom's friends help me, ya know, cut stuff, and tell me how to do the edges and stuff, but I am proud to say that I did them all on my own. They're the minki fabric, so they're really soft. I'm super excited.

So I did it. I broke down and bought a mini van. I never wanted to drive one, but the one we got is so nice and so comfortable to drive and ride in. And it's so much easier to put the kids in. You can laugh all you want but I really do like it.

SOLD!!

We finally sold our Sequoia. The car that I begged and cried for and wanted so bad, is now gone. I just didn't want to drive such a big car since now we'll have 3 kids and I'll need a bigger car. But I actually put all three car seats in the car just to see if they would fit, and they do, they're really tight, and the rear facing seat doesn't sit quite flat so I don't know how long we can pull it off, but we're gonna try. At least for a little bit.
