Waiting

The past few months have been crazily emotional for me. I don't know this pregnancy is more challenging because I'm getting older, if boy baby hormones affect me more than girl baby hormones, or if I always get this crazy when I'm pregnant and I just forget. I've told a few people that I've felt like my emotions were broken. Thankfully, I've come out of the fog a little and feel like I've needed a little creativity in my life.

My life feels full of waiting lately. Waiting to get some energy back. Waiting for BYU-Idaho to decide what the requirements are for the new major they're forming, which Richard wants to pursue. Waiting to know what Richard is going to due with his business while he goes to school and when he's going to move from part-time student status to full-time student. Waiting for winter to end because I can't enjoy most of my favorite winter activities when I'm pregnant. Waiting for a real paycheck. And of course, waiting for this baby to come.

I've been following my my cousin Kati's blog & my sister-in-law Elizabeth's blog, both of whom are accomplished quilters. They've given me a quilters bug. I decided I needed to escape my boredom & succumb. Granted, I have to have a low-budget quilter's bug, but I've started some projects I'm excited about. I finished the first, a minkee quilt for Kate today. It was super simple & she's excited about it.

This is Amber's minkee quilt I made for her a couple of years ago.

Now Kate has her very own.
She picked out the fabrics of course.

I was thrilled with the quilting job

(I wish this was my own work. I took it to the quilt shop)

Ta Da a finished project.

Now I'm itching to make one for Jessica & one for the new baby.

Amber & Kate got their hair cut today. Kate got bangs just like Amber. They're convinced they look identical and were trying their best to confuse us on regarding their true identities.

I've been working on our scrapbooks too. I figure I need to get them up to date now or never. I figured out how to get the scrapbook slide show on my blog to work. If you're interested, you can click on the slide show to see it full sized.
