My Big Project



So I really haven't been doing much sewing lately, and it isn't because I am now homeschooling or because Josiah climbs on top on the table every. stinking. time. my. back. is. turned.



It is because of this little person!  We have always wanted a large family, and we are all super excited.  However, let me just say there is nothing like the first trimester to make you start wondering what the heck you were thinking.  This time around has been hard.  I haven't been this sick ever.  I was starting to stress that it was twins.  I was down for a whole month, but at 12 weeks I am starting to feel a little human again.  Now I just need the energy fairy to come visit me once more.  She is sorely missed.  I am tired of being tired!  

I love getting ultrasounds done.  So amazing to be able to see the little one that is causing so much havoc to your body.  We didn't tell the kids about the baby until right before we went to get the ultrasound done, and  it was so much fun to see their reaction to seeing the baby on the screen.  Juliana, especially, fell in love.  She is determined that it is another boy, so Josiah will have someone to play trucks with.  She wants to name him "Dan".  Felicity wants it to be a girl (mostly, I think, to be contrary to Juliana), and she wants to name her "Paula" or "Sandwich". 

So, there you have it.  I have been going through fabric and pulling things for a destash and future projects, so I am hoping to share more sewing soon!  xoxo

Congratulations Meg!!! I hope that you have a healthy pregnancy and that it is a little easier from here on in. And I will pray for a healthy baby too!

Jen said...

Yes to feeling better!! It's about time ;). Although I'm sure Jodiah does his best to counter that with all of his climbing (little booger!). I'm with Felicity, the baby *must* be named Sandwich (LOL!! That girl cracks me up!!).

Josiah, I'm sorry! I really need to spell check my comments before I post with this iPhone!

Kerry said...

Congratulations!!

Hope you continue to feel better!

Svetlana said...

Congratulations!!! Felicity has it all figured out. Sandwich would make a "wonderful" name. You'll feel like a superstar. If they can name their kids Apple and Blanket, who says Sandwich is not a perfectly acceptable name?

Anita said...

Awe, congrats! I hope the rest of your pregnancy is 'sick' free! =)

Congratulations! I couldn't be happier for you and your growing family. First trimesters are the worst, especially with little ones under foot. I hope you start feeling better soon!!

Congrats Meg! Keep posting the u/s pics. By the way, I did a lot of the research that is used today to estimate weight, age, etc., so if you ever have any questions, I'm your person!

Congratulations! I am expecting as well (15 weeks) and know what you mean about needing the energy fairy. Why is it that each pregnancy seems to be harder? Shouldn't it get easier?? :-)

Ha! Sandwich! Sounds like a Frank Zappa kid. I'm still hoping (at 22 weeks) that my morning (and evening) sickness will go away someday... if not, at least it'll be gone afterwards, right?

Rosa said...
