comfy cozie

I finished the babies quilt. For each one of my boys I have made them a blanket. So that they will have something I made for them to show them I love them while I am away. I have to say each blanket has definitely gotten a lot better. I was thinking back to when we had Christopher and how poor we were and how when I went shopping for his material it had to come out of the $2 discount section. I put it together pinning it to my queen mattress. I have learned a few easier and better tricks since them. I love that no matter what stage we are at I loved making each blanket the same.




I get so excited to make their blankets. I just can't wait these 5 days till he gets here. I had an ultra sound on Friday and that being 3 weeks from his due date he is already weighing 7.5lbs. I am so glad my doctor is taking him next friday so he will only be 8 lbs. Instead of 9 yikes! Hey every ounce counts when it comes to delivery. Especially when I am doing it natural. i will let you know if I stick to that. I have to say I am pretty determined to do it though. His ultra sound profile looked like he had the gee boy big checks and big eyes. I think he looked a lot like Matthew but we will see. Can't wait to post those pictures.

good luck rachel! doing it natural is possible... i've done it with both of my kids... i'm so glad i did too! it is hard but worth it! as long as you have breaks between contractions and your contractions aren't super long, it's definitely worth it! haha. happy baby!

Natural is pretty intense. I had Tess natural and it was definetly doable. Good luck!!!
