Projects and more!

This pregnancy I have experienced a lot more than I experienced with my other two. It started out with morning sickness (ok all day sickness), continued with exhaustion and depression and now we are dealing with a tired achy body (but not exhaustion).

My 3rd trimester brought insight and energy (thanks to nesting) and I realized that the reason I was so depressed was because I wasn't doing things for me, I spent all my time, cleaning, babysitting and taking care of my kids (which is a great thing) but all women need them time, we need to have our own identity besides being mommy... (though it is the best name in the world)

So beginning the 3rd trimester, I started doing things for me.... or at least things I LOVE to do. I started on little princesses costume.... which is almost done,,,, I have been sewing other things, I have been planning, creating, reading and doing things for myself. Of course when I get my projects done I will post them on here. But there is lots of baby things, a few costumes, and some other things.

I also realized I getting depressed cause I was doing nothing for this baby girl. It's my 3rd so no baby shower, no getting presents for her, and honestly I haven't felt like anyone else is happy or excited for me this pregnancy. There are a few that have told me they can't wait. But honestly the reaction I got from some people was that they seemed less then thrilled. Even when I was always happy about their events in their lives. So I changed my attitude. I was done caring about how others were reacting and I started washing and getting things ready for this little girl. No one but Buzz, Myself and the kids need to be excited for our new little family member.

I am excited to see all the things we have planned come together! I am excited to work on projects and sew for all my kids. I am excited to meet this little girl in a few months and I am excited to be happy again, to find myself again and of course still be a mom!

I promise to update soon!

Projects!

Ok so lately I have been super busy! Between Little Prince and Little Princess getting sick, family activities, working on cleaning up so we can rearrange our house, sewing and just being a mom we have had quite a few weeks. Our house is decorated for Christmas, Christmas Presents are wrapped and we are so excited for Christmas with 2 kiddos instead of one and to celebrate in our own house. It will be so fun.

Anyways, my Brother-in-law is leaving on his mission in less than a week, and so we are doing his Christmas tomorrow. We will be doing our usual get matching PJ's and this year I really wanted my kids to have PJ's that match us so we can get a cute picture. Well of course its hard to find Pj's for adults and for children that are the same so heres what we did.....

We bought these....

1 XXL pair of Pants

3 large Shirts

Cut them up, did a little sewing, a little ironing, and some clipping threads and made these.....

1 toddler shirt/pants and 2 infant shirt/pants....

I love they turned out, Now we hope they fit!

What have I been up to?

I have been super busy lately, with sicknesses, cleaning, working on certain projects, and taking care of kids I have been super busy. Being a stay at home mom isn't as easy as it sounds..... I can't really post the projects here because some of them are for Christmas Presents. I can say that I am almost done with most of them. We have a lot of gifts under the tree and have almost all the gifts bought that need to be bought. It's been fun getting ready for Christmas this year. I am excited for Little Princess to experiance it think she will have tons of fun now that she understands it more.
I will share one project I did. I wanted to make sure that Little Princess had a Thanksgiving shirt, so I found one on pinterest and made it.... it turned out super cute. Here it is:

 

I found the pattern on pinterest and thought hey I can totally make that! I have another one that is a Christmas tree that I plan to make for Christmas time. I also have to make some PJ bottoms for the kids and shirts as well and those have to be done in 15 days..... I have a lot to do before Christmas. But I have a wonderful husband who supports me and so I can get them done. Anywho  got to go to bed.
