Nesting

So I’m finally past the extreme exhaustion of the first trimester. It was so bad, no one warned me for it. I would go to work, pretend like I wasn’t pregnant because I had gotten a promotion about the same time I got pregnant, come home, change my clothes into basketball shorts and one of Mark’s t shirts and lay in bed all day long. I had my special shows I would watch everyday and would only get up to get some food. The house would get so messy, and Mark and I did more snacking then meals. It was great to be pregnant but wow it was tiring.
But now, it’s awesome! I am loving this feeling. I’m not able to work full time anymore (my doctor is getting worried about pre mature delivery) so I’m home more and I am getting so much done. Not only have I been able to deep clean the house (it needed it) but I’ve been able to keep it clean. I’ve started to cook again, nothing special but Mark can’t complain. And I’ve started working on projects that I have had lying around my sewing room for a long time. I’m not only working on things, I’m finishing them too.
I’ve finally made the head board for our bed. Yes, we’ve been married for a year and a half and yes, we’ve been out of school for a year now. I know it’s about time that Mark and I stopped living like we were in a college dorm in some kinda floating bed. This is something that I learned off of HGTV that I was able to do for about $30. It will do till Mark wins the lottery and we can get a nice bed frame and a king size bed.

I also finally got around to making the quilt for our bed. I’ve been wanting to make a quilt for us since we got engaged but have been way too busy making things for everyone else. Granted this is just the quilt top but this finished product is going to be a while coming, do you know how expensive it is to get a queen size quilt quilted? It’s a lot.

I’ve also been working on a quilt for our sweet baby. It’s an ABC quilt of animals. Each letter has a matching lettered animal wrapped around the letter. It’s been a lot of fun for me. I’ve been sick in bed this past weekend but I’ve still had a little energy and I’ve been able to work on it from bed. Now, I’ve got to be at the machine stitching around each fabric and shape. It’ll take a while but I’m so finishing it.

I’ll keep you posted on the baby’s room too. I’m sewing all the bedding and things in it but not till I’m done with the ABC quilt. I’ve got some pretty big plans for the room but I don’t want to write anything yet, if I do I might not do it. I will say it’s going to be a jungle theme in mainly green. We’re so excited for the baby. I’m so glad I have so much to do, if not, I’d go nuts with excitement. Mark’s glad pregnancy lasts so long so he can store up on sleep since it wont come his way too much after he’s officially a father.
