In the mean time I have been making the most of my free time by organizing the baby's room and our apartment. Last week I successfully made a car seat cover and it actually turned out pretty good. This is a big deal because I am horrible at arts and crafts. So I will take this time to brag about my accomplishment! Actually it was really easy. All I had to do was sew a square together and then attach velcro ties to the top so that the cover will stay over the car seat. The hardest part for me was picking out fabric. I spent an hour in the store trying to decide. After emailing pictures of my final two choices to my mom, dad, two friends in my ward, and Ryan's mom for their opinion I finally made my decision. Here is the finished product.
By the way, car seat covers are sold in the mall for $50.00!!!! I made this for under $20.00!As for Ryan, he is very busy with school. I hardly see him during the week but I'm proud of him for working so hard in school and his job. This week he has three test. He took one this morning and will take the other two tomorrow. So that means this weekend he has lots of free time in case the baby decides to show up! Thankfully these are his last tests before finals!
That's the update for now. Hopefully our next update will be full of baby pictures!!! Keep your fingers crossed for us!
