We're Having a Baby!

Yes, it's true. Here comes number two! We are so excited!! I am due on March 17th, 2010. (St. Patrick's Day.) I have been dying to post this on here, but decided to wait until we had told our parents. I didn't want them finding out through my blog. So far everything is going well. I haven't been too sick, mostly I'm tired. I do have an ultrasound picture, but I'll have to scan it onto my computer first. So check back and I'll be sure to keep you updated. We probably won't know the sex of the baby until late October, early November. So if you have any premonitions about that, let me know. lol Rian seems to be excited. (as much as an almost 2 yr old can be.) She always pats my belly and says "baby!" Yes, I am already showing a ton. Kind of hard to keep it a secret when it's obvious!

So, I set out and found new maternity pants for work. Lucky for me old navy had a sale. Then (and this is awesome)...I went to walmart to find some white collared shirts for work. I picked out one style from the maternity section that I liked and bought two. Now at $12 I didn't really want to pay that much, but I was desperate for new shirts. After I checked out with my things and was walking to my car, I thought...I couldn't have been charged right...I got way more stuff than what I paid for. So when I checked out my receipt. My maternity shirts were "on sale" and rang up for $1.00 a piece. (i promise it even said, "you saved $11.00") and here I thought walmart doesn't have sales, just everyday low prices.

Anyway, enough ramblings of an already crazy pregnant person. Check back soon for pictures!

Happy 24th of July!!

Rian loved the sparklers. It was a little dangerous (for me) at times. She almost got me in the face with one. I was glad to see that she was not scared of them.




These next pictures are of some fireworks we did at our house. It was a lot of fun having family and friends come over for dessert and fireworks.

Snapshots from July

Who can resist a smile like that?

Rian is always doing funny stuff like this.

This picture I took at the Weber State Fireworks. Rian wanted to watch, but was scared, so she hid in my shoulder and peeked out to see all of the Fireworks.



Mom and Rian at the Fireworks.



I mostly liked Rian's hair in these two pictures. She looks so much like a toddler these days. I can't believe she will be two in a month!

Sold! (My First Car Seat Cover)

I have been sewing up a storm ever since I decided to make car seat canopys. They have turned out so cute. I have become quite a little seamstress (and I don't even sew.) They are so fun to make. I took some of them to our last family reunion. We have an auction each year to raise money, so I decided to auction off two of them. The Puppy canopy and the Pirate Princess were the tw0 that were won. They seemed to be a great hit. Those who won were giving them away as baby gifts. What a great gift for a baby shower!

The first picture is my Zebra Floral canopy. This one is my first official sale! It will be fun to see when she actually starts using it. (she's still pregnant) I was definately excited to see some benefit of all my hard work. If anyone is interested in one, I can custom make one or you can choose a fabric I already have. (of coarse if you want one I already sold, I can always make another.) I have additional fabrics pictured in my last post. You can leave me a message or email me at jennie.m.pace@gmail.com

Enjoy the pictures! These turned out so darn cute!

I'm posting these fabric swatches for a gal I'm making a car seat canopy for. Let me know which one you are wanting. Sorry the pictures aren't better. I was in a hurry to post these for you before work.
