Pictures!

Josh came home and was reading the blog over my shoulder, because he was worried I was making fun of him again. I don't consider that poop sweeper thing making fun, so I think I'm in the clear. He really had put the cord somewhere new. But he saw the title and said "Second Trimester almost over?!! NOOO!!!" and I asked why and he said "Because now it's going to get bad again. You're going to feel bad!" To which I replied, "I think it's already started, you haven't noticed I've been really cranky?" (Trick Question!) He sucked in a bunch of air and lifted up his shoulders and then shook his head really fast and said "Nooooo, I hadn't noticed." And then we both laughed really hard for a minute. He said he'd been practicing that answer in the mirror all day. Especially since I was really really grumpy this morning because I slept horribly, because he was SNORING SO LOUD all night.

Anyway, here is your 23 week belly picture!

And here is Josh toting his best friend Richard around the house. This is a common activity.

Here is a reversible bag I made for Julie, just for fun. Julie, that wasn't your christmas present, a different one is coming!

And I finally finished that quilt! I love it, it's so happy! I lined the back with turquoise flannel. So cozy.

I used the extra flannel to make an owl for baby Tripp. I got to use fusible interfacing for this, which was new for me.

This is my new favorite dog, JJ. She is a super sweet ball of energy! We did lots of snuggling in Utah.

When we got home, we finally rearranged the family room to turn it into a craft/art room, like we have been talking about for a couple of weeks. I LOVE having this giant table to work on, and it's tall so it doesn't hurt my back!  You can see my fancy new sewing machine here too!

We squished the tv into the corner, so it's like a tv cubicle now. Kind of weird, but it works okay.

And Josh gets a painting corner too. He likes it to be all crowded, so he can reach everything.

And last, but far from least, Josh's sister Krystal made us this super adorable pea pod for the baby. She crocheted it! I want it to be the first thing the baby goes in, I'm going to take it with us to the birthing center. It will be like one of those fancy white dresses that babies go home from the hospital in, but way cooler.

Josh's mom made us some stuff too, but I haven't taken pictures of it yet. That's the teaser for you, so you'll come back. If you're lucky I'll post a picture of the new nighttime nursing bra I just got too. I'll make Josh model it.
