...plannin and dreamin your labor will start,
that won't get him into your arms.
well my due date came and went. and with the tiny of exception of some labor-like activity last sunday, this kid is staying put! i've done all that i can do! i've tried EVERYTHING. now it's time for my doctor to do all that he can do. that's right folks - i'm getting induced! next monday. but don't cry for me argentina. although i wanted a natural childbirth, it's not the end of my universe to go the tried and true
pitocin + epidural route. i just want a healthy baby at the end of the day.
so in the meantime i've been doing all those decorating and sewing projects i didn't think i had time for. and shopping.
i am a big fan of swaddling my babies. and i'm in love with the new cotton - pod models that are on the market. I've shown this one from
cozi-bug before. it's a touch pricey at $54.
this one is so darling with the dwell rockets. it's an etsy seller:
maternalNest and is a little more affordable at $42.
But i wanted to make my own. It takes less than a yard of fabric each for outer and lining and then i could line with flannel. {most i've seen are lined with
minky which is a dreamy fabric but in my opinion not ideal for swaddling since it's polyester.}
I found a great
Kwik Sew pattern that i used to make these. {3734} it was very economical at $12. but i rounded the edges. it's cuter. like dumbo's ears when his mama wraps him up. try watching that movie and not bawling.
and if you still want cheaper than that, i found a free swaddler pattern at
craft gossip. they are fun to make and surely would be a well received gift should you be attending a shower soon! Speaking of showers, mine is still on for saturday. unless my water breaks. but i'm not holding my breath. if you didn't get an invite - a thousand apologies. YOU ARE INVITED! email me and i will give you the details.

it was supposed to be a burning building. the little firefighters are putting it out. everyone assumed it was the fire station and wondered why the windows were bleeding.
and the sugar coma sets in.
