We love you forever Mario

I will always remember bringing home my sweet fluffy puppy nearly 14 years ago when I was 9. I am thankful he has lived so long and brought our family so much happiness. He would have been 14 next month on the 28th. He has had diabetes for nearly 2 years and made it much longer than anyone expected. Dan and I took this photo with Mario in May 2008 right after we found out he had diabetes. We will miss him so much but I am glad he is no longer in pain.

Crib

Yay after a long long wait for this crib we finally picked it up today and Dan put the whole thing together. One step closer to things getting done!
And I actually did my hair and make up so wanted to put in a "better looking" belly photo for 32 weeks!

I love sewing!

Ok I wish this dress was one I could keep, but a friend of mine asked me to make 2 for her. She picked out the fabric, which I LOVE. I still need to finish the 2nd dress. Its purple and has lots of swirly goodness!

While I was sleeping...

or crocheting because I stayed up till 2:30 someone broke into my car. Seriously! What is wrong with these people. Tons I am sure. I could go into a huge long story about how ridiculous this is and how unfair it is but that doesn't change anything.

They now have all my music (which bothers me the most) because my computer broke and the only place I had my music left was my ipod. So really I am most upset that they stole my songs. Now they will go sell my ipod and my stereo and just have themselves a nice day. So don't leave anything in your car. I mean you can't take your car stereo in the house but ya. I threw away the original stereo that came with the car, so I guess from here on out I will just be stereo-less.

They did happen to leave my Babies R Us receipt untouched on the front seat so I can still go return something to the store. How thoughtful for them not to touch that.

Beanies

Yay for you tube teaching videos! This took me just over an hour I think to make!
Then I proceeded to make this one for our first nephew due in April!

Baby Blanket

I started this blanket 2 months ago and so glad I got it done today! One more thing I can check off my endless list of things to do.

If anyone needs a good yarn to use when working on projects, I HIGHLY recommend Caron Simply Soft. This is the 2nd project I have worked with this yarn and I can say, it is sooooo soft, really smooth and easy to use. They sell it at Joanns and I am pretty sure you could find a smaller selection of it at Walmart. Some of the other "baby" soft yarns just aren't soft enough or they have lots of little frillies hanging off of them so it makes them difficult to work with (in my opinion).

Anyway, I am now going to try and teach myself how to make a matching beanie?! Never done that before, so should be an interesting learning experience.

Ultrasound Pictures

We had another ultrasound today, I know it may seem like we have already gotten 1 million of these but my pregnancy is labeled high risk. Thankfully, though, nothing has been out of the ordinary, they just watch us extra extra close.

She is growing great and weighs 3 pounds now! She has turned since our last ultrasound 4 weeks ago... She was nearly head down at 25 1/2 weeks... now she is completely Frank Breech with her butt on bottom and her head and feet straight up. They said she has time to turn again so we will see if she turns back head down by our next ultrasound next month.

We got to do more 3d shots of her, although because of her position now it was harder to get a good face shot, she did however stick her tough out at us during the video!

She opens her mouth then sticks her tongue out at 38 seconds

Sleeping Pug

Tiny doesn't sleep on us, ever. He will sleep right next to us or near us or hanging off something but he has never just crawled on either of us and fell asleep (well, since he was a little puppy). I made Dan take a picture of Tiny after he did this because it was so cute, he crawled up on my lap and fell asleep on my belly. I wonder if Ava could hear him snoring :)
