25 Weeks

Hey sweetie pie!!!

We are just five weeks away from the 30's, as I call them. It is in these weeks of pregnancy that every thing "hits me" and I begin to plan and organize like crazy for a new baby--nesting, they call it

Well daughter, let me tell you that Mommy is starting to feel that nesting itch. It isn't full blown just yet, but I have lots and lots of thoughts swirling around in mind: crocheting, buttons, bows, bassinet and baby swing in the garage, baby clothes, sewing machine, making baby clothes, bottles, infant slings. . .

The thoughts go on and on. And, I'm starting to wonder what you'll look like and beginning to imagine holding you in my arms, wondering what your cries will sound like and what ways you'll want to be soothed.

It is something how God plants a seed, not only in a Mommy's tummy, but in her heart.

I love you.

Hey, Sugar!

Guess what? I was digging around in my yarn stash--looking for scraps for your oldest brother's art project--and guess what I found?

A baby sweater I'd crocheted about 5 or 6 years ago! Along with that, I also found some crocheted squares that I intended to sew together to make a baby blanket! You may be wondering, "What's the big deal about that, Mommy?" Well, they are for a baby girl!!!!! 

Lavender sweater. . .just needs a cute button.

A few of the squares for the blanket.

My intent was to sell these items in an Etsy shop I had back then. Anyway, I never sold them (or anything for that matter!) so I just kept them. As time went on, I tried to think of friends and family that I could give these pieces to, but every one I knew was having baby boys. . .including me, sweet girl. Mommy had three baby boys in a row!

I hope you like them because now they belong to you! Actually, they always belonged to you. See sweetheart, we can always see God's hand in our lives if we just take the time to look close enough. I had no idea you were coming when I made these, but God did!

I love you sweet baby.
