baby kimono




i made this little cutie last night while husband was out of the house....


i think it is quite adorable, he even used the word "cute"...how often does that happen? i think i'll try making a few more while i wait for her to arrive. i'd love to make some really soft flannel ones, but i'll mostly likely make due with what i have here in the house.

Things to keep me busy while I wait for baby

I am seriously getting impatient for this baby girl as I await my due date (one more week)....well maybe...My doctor says August 17 and an ultrasound said August 22. I've discussed this with the doctor and they are still convinced the date is the 17th. It wouldn't really matter except I'm so ready to get this party started! Either way instead of staring at the clock I need to keep myself occupied until she does arrive. So here is my list:

1. read a book (or ten)
2. exercise (like I have the energy for this)
3. take a bath
4. write in pregnancy journal (I should finish these entries up)
5. make pillows for the twin "daybed" in the nursery
6. make curtains for the nursery (problem is I can't decide on fabric)
7. make a wedding gift for friend getting married in October
8. finish husband's birthday scarf (for November)
9. cook more freezer meals (there really isn't a lot of room left though)
10. organize our bedroom closet
11. plan a special evening out with husband
12. watch a movie
13. make a video/take pictures of the nursery for family
14. make a doll
15. sew a bear
16. clean the house
17. make a meal schedule out of my freezer meals
18. start a blog (this is probably seriously bad timing--oh well)

This is what I have so far...I made this list yesterday and also had finish baby hat on there, but I finished that up yesterday.
