Well to honor being 30 weeks, I thought I should take a belly picture. I wanted to take one for 28 weeks, but that week flew by too quickly. Added previous pictures for comparison. For some reason I always seem to be wearing pink and black when I take my pictures.

Alie... can you see the bandy (band-aid) on her forehead? Her cut is healed but she insists that she still wears one.

Yup, I think I've grown!

Remember that Green and blue Monster fabric I posted in a pic a while back? Well I FINALLY made the pants! I used a pattern that was supposed to make them 6 mo. size, but figured they would end up a bit big, like 12 mo. size. Turns out, the pattern runs really huge.. they ended up size 3t almost 4t!! They fit Alie a bit big so she could even wear them next year hahaa! I hemmed them up by rolling it and was able to save the length so if I ever need to take them out, I can. I made them flood pants for Alie, since it's a bit more girly.

I feel bad that the pants I made specifically for Baby Boy will end up being a hand me down. Alie loves the print on them, so I know she will wear them. I guess there is a plus side... I'll get more use out of them than just one kiddo. Pictures of Alie wearing the pants are posted after the cut. By the way, the wooden short wall behind Alie is the wall I was talking about in our front yard. It makes a great picture backdrop because it blocks out the street and cars :D

I'm also posting pictures of my belly at 26w1d. Including the picture of me at 22w0d. I think I have grown a bit.

I'm posting 6 pics all together, so sorry if it runs slow!

We had a great easter. Went to church but got there 30 minutes late, oops! It was my fault because I went to bed late and just couldn't wake up in the morning.

After church we went to my grandma's house for easter lunch and the egg hunt. The lunch was awesome!! My favorite holiday meal is my grandma's easter one.

After lunch was the easter egg hunt. Since the weather was pretty hot (got up to 88) all the mini candy bars that were sprinkled in the yard were all melted. Alie wouldn't pick them up because they squished out of their wrappers if you didn't grab them delicately. Then the eggs were starting to melt. Well, some of the dye on them was melting off. So all the kids ended up with rainbow colored hands. It was pretty humerous. I was dying of the heat so poor Alie only found 12 eggs while everyone else gathered 20+. I shouldn't have worn 2 shirts, well tank top and blouse.

Best thing of all, Alie stayed dry the whole day! I put a diaper on her because I was so afraid she would have an accident w/ all the excitement. Plus I didn't want to ruin her silk dress from Jack and Janie. To my amazement, she told me when she needed to go, depsite the diaper. Such a big girl!!

Here are the pictures I took:

Taken at home right before we walked out the door

She sat in this pose all by herself!

Quickly taken after church

Look, she built Clifford the Big Red Dog

The weather here has been crazy! It got to 91 degrees! Normally we dont hit the 90s until June. It is supposed to reach as high as 95 on Monday. Can we say GLOBAL WARMING??? It was hotter here today than Florida.

I finally cut Alie's hair. Kind of on a whim, but it was just getting too stringy and would tangle easily when wet. I'm not sure if I really like it, it'll take a bit to get used to it. She hasn't had this short of hair since she was 18 months old!

I also took a picture of the hairbows I made for my friends girls. The material that I am going to make Baby Boy's pants out of is in the pic as well. Pictures behind the cut :)

Oh I also wanted to mention, Alie wore her big girl panties all day today. Even when we went to walmart for 2 hours. She let me know when she had to go so got to experience going in a public restroom. So much fun trying to squeeze her and me w/ my big ol preggy belly in a stall. She stayed dry all day. No accidents since Monday!

Well I finished Alie's dress! This is by far the most complicated item I have ever sewn. It's a tad big on her, but it fits well enough she can wear it this year and next. I left enough fabric in the bottom hem to take it out if need be. I love it and I am so excited that I finished it. I'm bad at starting creations and not finishing for years. Thankfully, I don't have any unfinished projects to date. Picture behind the cut :)


The pink dress!

Alie was playing Cowgirl the other day. Apparently the St. Patty's hat was her cowboy hat. She also put on the dog's hankerchief. It was pretty cute :)
