Overdue.

Well Monday was my due date for little baby boy.

It came. It went.
And here we are 3 days later.

Apparently he does not want to come out yet despite my working my tail off trying.

My house has never been so clean and organized!

I have to say while it feels so good to clear away a TON of clutter from pretty much every inch of my house, I wish all this work would put me into labor already!

On a better note, I've de-cluttered my craft space(s) because they are going to be featured on a really awesome website (The Organized Mom)-so you should head over there tomorrow...I'll do my best to remind you to check it out, but I will most likely be in the hospital getting induced on Friday!

Going back to that...my tummy has become Luke's favorite spot to put toys:

funny, right?

I wish i could laugh with you but at this point i am so DONE with having a huge tummy! I am ready to meet this little boy already! I want to know if he looks more like Scott and maybe even has red hair! How cute would that be to have a little red-head?!

You know what else? I'd forgotten how incredibly small newborn diapers are!

Slightly smaller than my hand!

I'm going to have a little baby bum that small around here soon! So stinkin' cute!

We. are. so. ready.

Wish us luck for tomorrow! (or better yet, pray that he comes today!!)

Valentine’s Day Wreath

So I basically have nothing better to do now that my nesting is pretty much done and I’ve finished getting ready for baby to come!

I decided to make a Valentine's Day wreath for my front door. I also did it with things I already had around so it was essentially free to make!

I pinned this cute wreath recently (can’t find the actually link to the Etsy store it is from anymore—must have gotten sold!) Obviously I used ivory yarn instead, and I also used a piece of cardboard instead of an actual wreath form since I was trying to be cheap! Still came out cute though!

Re-Covering my Infant Car Seat

This is most definitely not going to be a tutorial…like ever.  This was the hardest most time consuming sewing project I’ve taken on in years!  There were several times throughout this week I just about gave up and started searching Etsy for cute car seat replacement covers.  There’s lots of cute ones that tempted me:

First, I found this dinosaur one I really really loved. 

Dinos with black minky boy Infant car seat cover

This is another one I seriously considered buying!

Hoopla Dots Infant Car Seat Cover

But in the end, I couldn't’ go through with it.  I only spent $10 in fabric (green circle fabric is from fabric.com) and thread.  I didn’t even use all of the fabric so I can use it for other projects. It did suck up a ton of time though!  I spent all last week working on this thing!  It’s not near perfect, but it is definitely cuter than it was before:

I forgot to take a picture with the shade part up, so I dug this one up from when we were checking out our new house for one of the first times! This car seat was mostly just boring!!

Now this is what I turned it into!

The hardest part was the shade—mostly because I had to cut it up and make it up as I went and I’m not very good at that.  It took 5 hours yesterday to do just the shade!  I wanted to just get it done so I just constantly worked on it until it was finished-only taking breaks when my back hurt and had to get up and walk around a bit.  The other parts of the seat were easier because I just pinned to the original cover and sewed it up!!  Though it still was pretty time consuming with all those pins and getting it to lay right.  I got poked by pins more times than I cared to count! 

I’m just so glad it’s finished and now baby can come home from the hospital in style!!
