July so far

Time is going so fast; which is great! We are looking forward to December because we'll spend this Christmas with my family in Peru!! Yay! Most of my family hasn't met met Evan yet, so it will be a really good and fun vacation.
Evan turned 3 months old on the 4th. This little chunk weights over 16lbs, sleeps all night (from 10pm-6am), has the cutest dimples, and is a happy guy!

Also, this was my first 4th of July as an American citizen, so I decided to make a US flag wreath to get in the holiday spirit. This was the first time I ever made a wreath and I think it turned out pretty good. It was pretty simple wrapping yarn around a straw wreath, but it sure took some time. I am excited to make some more for other holidays, if I ever get around to it. On the 4th, we had a bbq with some of our neighbors and relaxed the rest of the day.

Evan

Our sweet baby is now 2 months old! I still can't believe how quickly he is growing. Evan was born Wednesday April 4 at 7:39pm weighing 8lbs 7oz. He was 4 days passed his due date. It was a long labor, but not too painful. I am certainly glad I chose to have an epidural. I was actually pretty comfortable thru the entire process. We, including the doctor and nurses, were all surprised to find out how big our baby was since I didn't even look 40 weeks pregnant. Two and a half days later, we were home with our little guy.

My mom stayed with us for about 3 weeks after the baby was born. It was really nice to have her here, she was very helpful. We got some family pictures taken before she left back to Peru.

People tell you that having a baby will change your life, they are not overreacting! There were some days when I forgot to do the most basic things like brushing my teeth . It gets all better with time and practice, thank goodness.

Baby Projects

We are currently at 33 weeks! Our little Evan will be joining us soon and we cannot wait. We are looking forward to meeting and holding our little guy. Pregnancy has been pretty easy for me, so I can't complain much, just starting to get uncomfortable with this big belly. I am getting a little anxious and nervous about labor and delivery. We are currently taking a prenatal class, which has been very educational and has helped me feel better about labor. Also my mom will be here before the baby is born and will be staying with us for a few weeks. It will be great having her here.

The last few months have been full with baby projects, and I still have many more I want to make. I just need more time, which I will have pretty soon when I stop working.
So here are some of my favorite projects. They were all pretty simple to do.
