New things

We have had a pretty exciting week, well kinda. We have gotten a couple of new things this week. My grandma gave us a basket that she used when all of her children were born and also my mom used when I was born. We repainted it a light brown color and then I made a cute pink liner and cover than goes over the foam pad.



Our stroller finally came yesterday. Andy had to go to work so I put it together and started to play with it. We love it and we got a pretty good deal on it too! The car seat and base pretty much take up our entire back seat. Well not really but when the car seat is in probably on Maddie or Mckay could ride in the back seat with her.


About a week ago Andy let me get a new sewing machine with some of our tax return money. I had previously been sewing on my mom's old singer machine. It was a great machine but it was just SO LOUD, I bet our neighbors could hear it. The new machine that I got in a Brother Cs-6000i computerized machine. I love it. It is really quiet and has way too many pre-programmed stitches to even dream of using. I sewed the basket liner with it and made the scalloped handle holes with one of the pre-programmed stitches. It is a great little machine that is going to hopefully last for a long time.


On Tuesday, we went to the doctors. Everything is still going really well. I was dilated to a 2 at that point and 80% effaced. Our baby's head is really far down in my pelvis. My doctor thinks that she will probably come this weekend and if she doesn't by Tuesday then he will induce me. So it could be anytime now, which is really exciting and kinda scary at the same time.
