A BABY WIP


literally...


I am pregnant with our third child! It's still pretty early days but I had the first scan and everything is as it should be :) My due date is in January, which is really exciting as I think 2013 will be a awesome year!

You may have noticed I've not been posting as much, commenting nearly as often or even actually sewing very much at all recently... that's because I'm kind of exhausted and I've often been going to bed at 8 or 9pm, which is ridiculously early for me! I know that this is the most important time and I am just doing whatever I feel necessary, so please excuse my slight uselessness but I know you'll understand :)

I am also constantly dropping things, saying utterly stupid things (or repeatedly asking the same thing... my poor husband!) and am completely forgetful!! I guess all of me is concentrated on growing the little one!

clever planning... quilt made even before the baby was!

Now I'm going to try and get my toddler to take a nap so I can too!
