Stuff I made for Camryn

So apparently my "conscience" aka my MOM has been wanting to post these pictures for quite awhile now. I thought I wanted to wait until my crib arrives (should be early April) so that I could do a post with a finished nursery.... but apparently I was wrong. So here are all of the things I have made for Camryn (or her room) so far:

The color is a bit off in this picture, but this is a picture frame I made for the top of her dresser. I bought the frame at Heartland Paper (aka my favorite place EVER), covered it in a brown and white polka dot scrapbook paper, and covered a tiny C in cream scrapbook paper. Then I played around with some ink pads I got for distressing... I am pretty happy with the result!!! I think I am going to put her foot prints in the picture section... we'll see.


For this C, I covered a cardboard C that I got (again) at Heartland, and distressed with a more tan ink pad.

This is a close up view of the "flower tree" I made. My super crafty friend Aymee helped me cut the flowers with her cricut, and showed me what technique to do. Basically I layered two different flowers on top of each other, slightly curled the top flower, and pinned it to a big Styrofoam ball. Then we got a stick from her backyard, stuck it in the bottom, and put that in a green foam pad inside a pot. Then we covered it with moss.

Here are all three things together!

This is the entire top of the dresser. Rich's grandparents gave us the carosel for Christmas this year, and I bought the pink goose (or duck.. but I call it a goose) at Real Deals (another one of my favorite places!). I LOVE how all of this came together!

These are the letters I made to hang over her crib. We need to make a magnet board, and then we'll hang the letters from knobs that I painted white, orange, and brown, and glued magnets to the back of... Cute, right??

I made these burp cloths with Lindsay while she was here last month. She was nice enough to share the cute colored burp cloths that she bought with me!

These are the 0-3m onesies I made Camryn. The argyle goes with a plaid skirt I bought her over Christmas, and the fish goes with some fish shorts I got her.

These are the newborn oneseies. She MIGHT wear one of these home.... not sure which one yet.. But I am in love with all of them!!

I even learned how to make hooded towels!!

I bought these PJ pants for 99 cents at Old Navy with Lindsay when we went outlet shopping in Park City. They were missing a shirt, so I just made her one to match!

Flower headbands I made for her! I bought flowers at various craft stores, cut the stems off, and glued them onto clips so that I can switch flowers out as I please!

Last but not least, here are some felt hair clips for the girl. I'm planning on making more after I go to visit my mom (and her new tool that cuts felt!) this weekend.

Well there you have it. I hope my conscience is happy. More pictures next week after I get back from CA!! XOXO

Midwife Appointment

So I went to my last once a month appointment with my midwife today!! Now I get to start going twice a month!! I am actually really excited, because it means we are getting closer and closer to the end of pregnancy... YAY!

I now weigh.... (drum roll please...) 135!?!?!?!?!? That is a seven pound weight gain!! I was totally on board for six pounds a month, but seven??? Hahaha... I don't know about that one!! Everything else looks good. Heartbeat is strong, she is still head down and favoring my right side, and that is about it!

I will post a new gut shot when I hit 30 weeks... so like 2 1/2 weeks til I get to show that off! Woo hoo!! Soon I will post all of the stuff I have made for Camryn! XOXO

Pictures!!!

Here it is!! The lovely 25 1/2 week gut shot!! It sure is expanding isn't it??? Especially compared to Lindsay's teeny tiny 20 1/2 week gut!!

Isn't this lovely? Finally a face shot of me pregnant. I think I have been avoiding doing these because I hate to take a picture by myself, so I always just have Rich leave my face out of the shot!!

The nursery!!! (Couch will be replaced by crib soon!) This is the view from the door...

Here is the view from our closets. I am repainting the stars... big orange one will be the dark brown (I decided since it is the biggest star, I didn't want it to be the BOLDEST color), and I am going to paint the brown one in a more tangerine orange (to match the changing pad I dyed, and the orange in the bedding...)


The closets... Doors need to get another coat of paint on them... can you tell we ran out of paint on that last door?? It's only half painted... haha. And we still need to put the knobs on too.

Artwork for Camryn. I made this after I found a really cute picture on etsy that I fell in love with, but it wasn't in my colors... so I went to my favorite paper store here in Bountiful, and got my supplies!!
And last, but not least. Mister Jack. Haha he sure did love that baby seat!! We had so much fun having Zockoll's in town, and can't wait to party (hopefully) one more time before our babies come!! XOXO

Coming Soon-

A new and exciting post!!! We had the Zockolls in town this last weekend, and had SO MUCH FUN!! Of course Rich and I didn't pull out our camera once, because they brought their super nice one that would just put our little 4 megapixel camera to shame. So as soon as Adam gets home and e-mails me the pictures from this weekend, I promise to post!! (There WILL be nursery pictures in there too!!) We had so much fun eating, shopping, crafting, eating, crafting, eating.... I'm trying to help Lindsay put on as much pregnancy weight as I have!! Ok, so be just a little bit more patient with me, and I will post soon!! XOXO

Another Month Has Passed....

And I met with my midwife today!!! Let's see if you can see the weight gain pattern here: First appointment, I weighed 116. Second, 122, third....... 128!!! Hahaha I have gained a steady 6 lbs each month! And as Lindsay so kindly pointed out to me today... I could potentially gain 24 more before this girl decides to come!! (Hopefully it will start to slow down...) Things are looking good. Miss Camryn is head down, and I was told will most likely stay that way. YAY!!! No breech baby= happy me. The gut was measured, but I didn't ask what that number was.... and that is about it!! I promise, I will post nursery pictures soon- it is all painted and even has stars AND a picture I made up on the walls, but there is still a black leather (pleather actually) couch in the room, and no closet doors have been hung, so I am ashamed to post pictures until it is all done!! Will attempt to get pictures up this week maybe??? XOXO
