Quick update.

The December Photo Project is back starting tomorrow! I'm going to do the best I can to be a little more regular about posting, even if it is only some photos.

But first, a quick little update.
1. I dusted off the sewing machine to make a few things for Naomi: a rainbow geranium dress for her birthday and a geranium tunic in some bolder colors. I really love how they turned out. She hasn't worn the rainbow dress yet, but I made it with vintage fabric I found in my Grandma's stash when we were cleaning out her house. I love that Naomi's first birthday dress will be made with fabric she bought.
2. I love several things about this photo: the first being PIGTAILS (Naomi's first!) and the second being her wearing her new tunic. I love the shorter length with leggings; it's also nice since she's still a crawler.
3. We had a great Thanksgiving with my Aunt in Northern California. The road trip up left something to be desired as we managed to turn what is supposed to be a 6 hour trip into a 10-hour one with a stop at an urgent care and pharmacy in the middle for a wheezing Naomi. She's much better now, but it is NO FUN when your kid is having a hard time breathing and you are in Stockton, CA without a clue as to where an urgent care is. Thankfully the iPhone helped us find one and we were in and out there in under an hour. 

4.I had one of the funnest LA days yet: including a trip to the fabric district, japanese curry, and boba tea. LA's fabric district is AWESOME!! There are so. many. fabric. stores. I was happy to have a friend show me around otherwise I would have gotten totally lost. I have never seen anything like it. Store after store filled with bolts and bins of fabric. My favorite part may have been a store where you can buy random pieces of mostly knit fabrics for 2.50/pound.
5. My Gamecocks just won their fifth game in a row over Clemson!

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
