Just because I haven't posted in a while

I have a whole list of projects I'd like to get to, only I'm just not motivated lately. I think of a million things I could do and then I convince myself that I'll do them later. I feel so Lazy! So I HAVE done a few things...laundry (which is still unfolded on the chair in the living room), finished my new diaper bag (maybe I should post it here?), vacuumed and steamed the majority of the house, and have been running from appointment to appointment and wrestling with insurance companies etc.
Miss Fabulous got new glasses and both girls now are in need of seeing an Ear, Nose, and Throat doc to check their ears. Star's speech is behind and they think it might have to do with her hearing...or lack thereof. John's been healing from his bruising on the ski slope. And I, I'm getting to my (now weekly) doctor appointments where they just tell me that everything looks good and see you next week. I guess I should be comforted that everything looks good, but I'm getting near miserable and am at the point where I can hardly move or walk or sit or stand or...
Anyway. I HAVE managed to do some things and yesterday I decided to re-do the infant car seat. The one we have is from Star and it was black and pink. I wasn't too worried about the pink but I'm glad I decided to give it a make-over!
I still need to work on the canopy, but I REALLY like how the green and white worked out! It took me about 3 hours (and a few unpleasant words) to do it, but its done! Now on to the canopy!
I thought I would include a couple of pictures of Star while I was on here. She is quite the mischief maker but is usually so cute about things, its hard to punish her too!

That carseat cover is quite an accomplishment!! Good job! Did you use the tutorial on Make It and Love it? I just looked at her carseat redo......so stylish and quite ambitious! My hat is off to both of you! :)

No, I finished the car seat part of mine just before she posted hers and did the canopy part today. Mine was a little more simple than hers since I used a lot of the existing pieces and just replaced the pink parts. I love how it turned out and I love hers too! I went to HS with Ashley, but never knew her many talents!

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...

In case you're like my mom, who can "never see anything in these pictures", it is baby #2 due at the beginning of August. Hopefully we get to keep this one...all signs say yes. Please keep us in your prayers!
