My last nursery update showed off BGF’s finished curtains. I was so happy that the whole “no-sew” plan worked out, because it meant that my likely-hood of pulling off a similar no-sew crib skirt was pretty high. I was so excited that it worked, that the next day I broke out the leftover fabric and […]
*faints* I’m seven months pregnant! No more saying I have three months left – nope we’re working on two and a bit more months! Baby is now the size of a: Eggplant. She’s somewhere over 2lbs, and long enough that when she stretches out I get super uncomfortable. Which she tests. I think she […]

Remember this post? The one where I shared with you our plans for BGFs nursery? Well, wouldn’t you know, about 30 seconds (okay, I think it was the next day) later we (read: I) had a big change of plans. It all started with a picture of an unknown fabric. I was surfing the web, […]
This post should be more accurately titled as – The Absolute Lack of Anything I Consider to be Quality Sleep : A Preparation for Motherhood. Nature does a cruel, cruel thing to pregnant women.
