We made a trip to Gilbert almost 2 weeks ago now for Chad's brother Dallen's wedding. We ended up staying for a whole week which was really really nice. Emrie loved being around family as did we :D The only downer was the day of the wedding we spent in between lucheon and reception at the hospital for a very painful earache Emrie developed. But by reception time she was up and running off energy that came from who knows where.


The happy couple! They looked so good and she looked gorgeous! Emrie sat with them as much as possible.



We also went to the zoo with Makenna, Jason, Rhett and Graham one morning and it was a lot of fun. I didn't take enough pictures though. Thanks Mak and Jason for taking us!



It was just really nice to get away and visit family. I love having people around even if your just relaxing.


And an update I guess...I am now 38 weeks along, Hopefully no more than 2 weeks to go :D I did get checked at 36 weeks and I was 1 cm dilated and 50% efaced so that's better than it was with Emrie which is exciting. I don't know how much progress I've made in the 2 weeks since then but maybe I'll get checked at my next appointment. Keep your fingers crossed...I am really ready to be done. Don't know how much longer I can stand the tight clothes and heartburn among other things :D Well I'll keep you updated. We are still really lost on names for this little girl but hopefully we get it figured out without too much stress before we leave the hospital cause I'm pretty sure that's how long it will take us to decide. We are up for any suggestions :D

Starting on Etsy

Soooo, I've been thinking about doing an Etsy account for a while and after much prodding from my mama and lovely aunts I started one. I only have 2 items on it so far, which are these hooter hider nursing covers but it's a start. I'm trying to decide what else exactly I'm going to be doing on there, but for now I'm doing these covers. I've looked around and found that the only nursing covers you can find are just one plain piece of fabric, so I decided to embellish mine some and do some bordering and flower appliques and such. Anyway, we'll see what happens. My store is Alligator Toes, so if you know anyone who wants a nursing cover spread the word :D (I also line all of them to make sure they're not see through and they are wider than others to ensure full side coverage :D I know from experience those babies like to move around under there, the more fabric the better I say :D )

Sorry, this picture keeps flipping on me for some reason


I'll have to get some more stuff up, but till then :D
