This week's Saturday project :)












Today I have spent most of the day having fun decorating sugar cookies :) I just bought these cookie cutters off of ebay, and have been itching for an excuse to use them...and, lucky for me, there is a baby shower this Sunday! So I made the cookies last night, and decorated them today. I made 24 total cookies, which took me about 5 hours to decorate...now I know why these sell for $6.00 a piece online! I had a lot of fun doing it, though. Unfortunately, my house still needs to be cleaned...

Eli's lookin' at ya!

Today we had a second ultrasound, and we got to see Eli again :) It was pretty fun (except for the fact that I felt really sick laying on my back...but I survived) This first picture is looking straight at his face. You can see his hair, (right) then his eyes, chubby cheecks, mouth & nose. The tech took a lot of picutres of his face, and I took a picture of the picture with my camera. They didn't turn out great using our camera, but they're not too bad. Hopefully you can tell what you're looking at :)

The second one he has his arm over his face (which is just like how his dad sleeps...) The third one is a little harder to tell, but it is a profie shot. His hand is up above his face. The last one is a picture of his foot :)
He is a rather large baby...he's already over 4 pounds, which puts him in the 91st percentile. My doctor said he's on track to be a 9 lb baby, so we'll see how that goes without an epidural...
The doctor said everything looks really good, though. He's in the right position, and the placenta has moved to where it is suppose to be. I'm just amazed that he is already 4 pounds...I guess I kind of look like I'm having a giant, so it's probably a good thing that he actually is big, and I'm not just overeating, right?!

Eli's room update


Hello again. I just wanted to show you the result of Edgar's hard work today. He did a wonderful job painting the baby's room, and he put in some closet shelves as well (he's still working on those a bit...) I LOVE the way it turned out! I can't wait to get all of the furniture in it! The colors on the wall match Eli's bedding almost perfectly. Edgar also painted the armoire...and painted, and painted it. It took 6 coats I think to cover, but it looks GREAT.
