Our Baby the ILLUSIONIST!

A week ago we had our 16 week appointment. My favorite part of the whole appointment is obviously the ultrasounds. All last month I'd been compiling questions to ask the Dr. to try and stall alittle to make the ultrasound a little longer ( they were real questions, i just had a lot of them) I also had Jon all practiced and well rehearsed to ask the Dr. to see all sorts of body parts while we were checking out the baby so we could get some really good shots!
The first shot was my favorite..all curled up in a very uncomfortable little ball wiggling its toes! I loved that! Well i proceed to ask tell the Dr. "I'd love to see some Fingers! and Toes! Oh, and we also need to make sure we're still having a Boy!"
So we see the toesies wiggling, and the little fist up by the head! So cute! Everything is looking GREAT, healthy, right on track with size and dates!Then the Dr. goes to answer my last question.. "Uh... There is just one little problem," "WHAT!I said!"


Remember that 12 week, 90% BOY shot?


WELL, It became our 16 week, 100% GIRL SHOT! Ha ha ha!


Here's our little Skeletor


Jon loved this one of her ribs and back. :) "coool"

So this March we will officially be welcoming a baby GIRL! The Dr. said he's sure it won't change again!

Boy did she have us fooled! :) I was completely stoked!I called my little sister Katie first to let her know her little Shelby wont be a loner anymore. :) She was thrilled too.
Don't get me wrong~I was really excited to have a boy, I am head over heals for my little nephews, but I'm super thrilled to be having a little girl! I'm so incredibly excited to see Jonny with her. He is probably the sweetest guy I know, but I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing a whole new side of sweet when he's holding his little baby girl. He's going to be the BEST daddy in the world. I cant wait!

Cravings

Have any of you seen the first Harry Potter Movie?

You know the part where you see Voldemort sucking the Unicorns blood, and its dripping down his face??. Today I was reading about a condition called Pica. Its were your pregnant body is lacking things like iron, so you crave (and some women EAT) things like Coal, dirt, soaps, etc.? Well this was the movie image that popped in my head when i read about eating dirt~ Except instead of Vodemort it was some pregnant woman squating over a pile of dirt~eating it with dirt all over her face! That'd probably scare me more than Vodemort in real life! Ha ha ha!
Actually~ Its pretty ironic that Vodemort comes to my mind, because there are times with these psycho hormones that i've felt more like Voldemort than Me. Ha ha ha.

So i got to thinking~ Have i really CRAVED anything during My Pregnancy?!

YES! I thought.

There is ONE THING these last 3 1/2 Months that i would say i craved.
Only ONE thing that hasnt ONCE made me go into a dry-heaving fit just thinking about it..
ONE thing that unfortunately wasnt in season.. That is until just recently~

But now, thank you to my WONDERFUL MOTHER for bringing me a smorgasborg of these...

and THIS monster


I've been in PEACH HEAVEN all week! YUM!
Here's to cravings!!!
Thanks Mom! :)

The Country Barn Boutique

You know those fun little boutiques that go on every season? Those ones where you walk in and are completely overwhelmed by the shear amount of painted wood? Soaps? and knitted things? You all know you like to go peak inside those boutiques..
I must admit, i don't consider myself crafty at all~in fact at first in order to even operate the sewing machine, i needed my sister Alesas' constant supervision! But I've decided to test the waters of the boutique world. No I'm not Tying a bunch of sticks together and selling them.. or painting wood blocks..(that would've been easier though..) I decided to see how these Minky Burp Rags I've made for a couple of my friends' babies sold. They are extremely soft and i used some Darling fabric!
So i made a few dozen, rented a booth, and got all set up. Its been ALOT of work, and I'm glad I've done it..All i have to do now is see how they sell, and see if it was worth it. I'm kind of nervous about it.. maybe alittle self conscious too.. i don't know why. Maybe its because its something handmade, I'm SO new to the whole sewing thing, and the public will be looking at and buying them... ahhh.. But I'm glad i put myself out there and did it cause I've always just wanted to try. I seriously don't now how some of those ladies make so much stuff and do it every time! :)
The Country Barn Boutique (on Mutton Hollow in Kaysville/Layton) opens for a preview tonight. 4-8, and then 10-8 Thurs & Fri., and 10-5 on Sat. Wish me luck. :)
(And thank you to my Wonderful Mom and Sister Alesa for all your help!)



This is me setting up and laughing cause i made a funny face last minute in the last picture Alesa was trying to take. ha ha. I look like I'm lovingly admiring my burp rags. ha ha. gag.



This is my finished little wicker shelf. I was originally told I'd be getting a wicker basket, so I wasn't planning on having so much space, so I had to use most of the Rags I'd made to fill the shelves. So much for restocking. :)
You can click on this picture if you want to see the burp rags up close.

Happy Birthday Mother Theresa!

I just wanted to write a quick post to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to my WONDERFUL mom! If you are one of the lucky to know my mom, or have ever come in contact with her, you too know that there are only a few people as wonderful, selfless, caring.. (the list goes on) as her! She is the most wonderful Mother, Wife, Grandma, Sister, Friend! My mom has always been there for me (and anyone else) at the drop of a hat. I really think i am the LUCKIEST girl on earth to be blessed with such an amazing Mom! Happy Birthday Mom! I LOVE YOU!
