What a difference a week makes

So this was pre-thanksgiving and ON Thanksgiving.  These babies are growing folks!
I believe it now.  Mostly because they move like crazy.  I seriously get strangely excited each time I feel them move.  It makes me so grateful for this blessing in my life.  I sometimes feel like I'm not worthy to be blessed to carry these babies when so many others still haven't had the chance to do this and may not.  But I definitely count my blessings everday.
And I just realized, as I was looking at my baby registry at Target, that I have 99 days until my babies' Due Date, which is really not the due date because they are pretty sure they will come two weeks before then.  So 99-14 is 85 days.  Nutso!
That big purple bin and all the stuff on top of it is stuff I got from friends and loved ones while I was home in Idaho.  Definitely was showered with love!  So blessed!
Unfortunately my house is exploding with TOO much stuff. 
Can't wait for out addition to be complete, so then my bedroom will be exploding with stuff instead of my family room! 
My poor tree is up but all I have on it is the gift my sister in law gave me for Christmas.  I really need to get crackin on Christmas decor.
  
I still have my pumpkin jars up and my frozen/defrosting/frozen/defrosting pumpkins on the front porch.  Hmmm...holidays all year? Sounds good to me.
THIS is the fabric I will use to attempt to use to recover an old glider I got at a garage sale. Wish me some serious sewing luck!  I hope it doesn't look crappy.  IF All else fails, I'm totally duct taping it to the existing cushions and calling it good!

See how I've grown



So, first of all, I broke down and bought something for the girls.
I bought this little kit for making headbands! How Cute are these???
Thanks to the Etsy Shop MyMissPriss Boutique!
I'm super excited to get them and make them all cute. p.s. I got them for 40% off, so I felt like it was a justified steal! 
I also figured I would share my collage of "growing pictures".  I remember the tough parts of not being pregnant was hearing about all my friends being pregnant, but I really just wanted to see them growing and I hardly ever got to see belly pictures.  I DID love seeing those.  So here are 11 weeks of mine (I forgot to take pics on week 12 and 13 but there wasn't much change those weeks).  When I think that I'm not growing or whatever, I just look at these and I know that my belly is growing babies!

See how I'v grown in 11 weeks! Crazy!?!
And then I really broke down.  I bought those headbands online, but then I saw these on the clearance rack and couldn't resist! Two cute spring/summer outfits (3-6 months) and two cute spring skirts (3-6 months too) and an adorable jean skirt (6 months).  I was pretty excited! Now I can hold off until Thanksgiving to want to get anything else.

My deals! 7 items for $10 at JcPenny's.  I was so excited to get all these for $1.40 each.
