Baby Updates: August

 

 
Our baby girl's first Broncos outfit!! Woohoo, go Broncos! Thank you Dad and Georgine. Can't wait to put it on her for a Broncos game!

We're starting to add some more decorations to our baby girl's room. Photographs were taken by me. Tulips from our house in Cheyenne, WY, and a beautiful pink lily that just popped up in our front yard here in CA.

Her room will be these two shades of pink and sage green

The newest addition to our family. Mr. Finnegan! He is a 14 week old Siberian kitten from the same breeder in CO that Sophia came from. He is a sweet little cuddle monster and a great little playmate for Sophia!

We started ordering some of the bigger pieces for the nursery! Here, sweet Joe is putting together the glider chair.



Getting the crib and changing table parts organized.

Finished crib and changing table. Thank you Granddaddy Joe and Judy. Getting her room put together warms our hearts and makes us smile. My sweet Joe was so patient and wonderful putting it all together.

Fabric I ordered for pillow covers

Finished pillow covers! Woohoo for $4 pillows! Super easy tutorial can be found here


Baby bump at 23 weeks. Our baby girl's kicks are getting stronger every week!


Since the baby is due near Thanksgiving, she'll get to have her first Christmas at about a month old. I had to get going on making sure she had her own Christmas stocking while I'm still able to sit at the table and sew. I wanted her stocking to match our existing ones, so I bought some double sided quilted fabric and created a pattern myself to sew it!



I also made "kitten sized" stockings for Sophia and Finnegan! Here are the finished stockings along with our existing ones. I am really happy with how they turned out. I will still be adding some white fringe along the cuffs to match the other two.

 

A couple more baby bump photos for the month:


Traveling along on a TDY (military business trip) with Joe to Long Beach, CA. We rented this double bike for an hour one evening to ride along the beautiful coast. The Queen Mary is in the background.
