Duvet Cover

So what do you do when you're out of ideas to pass the time and are 39.5 weeks pregnant? Make something, I guess.

I made this duvet cover last night.

I had an old plain white one that wasn't going to cut it anymore, so I deconstructed it, and used part of it for the underside. I used a large piece of fabric I got at Target for the top. I was really hoping to get it done in one night, and I got pretty close. I finished the last little bit and did the button holes this morning. So start to finish was within 24 hours, which isn't bad for me! I also bought one pillow case that matched the fabric (one was all they had, so it works out alright, I guess). The nice thing is that the fabric matches the sheets and curtains we already have, so I think the total cost on this project was under 14 bucks.

Alright, baby... only 3 more days till your due date. What are you thinking in there? Are you going to be early, on time, or late??????

Getting ready

I think its adorable that Noah is wearing his noise reduction headphones while steam cleaning the carpets... even more importantly is the fact that our carpets are getting cleaned. I have the best husband ever. Now off to a movie while everything dries!

There are only 8 more days until Ethan's due date, although we went to the doctor today and she pretty much said, well, it could be tomorrow, or it could be 2 weeks from now... and that's fine with me. We're ready whenever he is ready :) In the meantime, it's just cleaning, getting together with friends, and walking as much as possible.
