feeling crafty

So I decided to get really crafty today after AJ left for work. I have really wanted to make a car seat canopy for some time now but couldn't ever find a pattern at the store that I liked. Well I was looking online at some tutorials and came across one that looked pretty easy.
So I got out this material that I've been holding onto for a while and started the project. To my surprise it was so much easier than I thought and it only took me an hour, start to finish.

Its been a pretty fun week. AJ even got to see the baby kicking. He freaked out a little, and lets be honest it is a little weird to see a tummy moving that way. Its been great for me though because it makes me think that he is finally getting excited about the baby.
I already love him so much and I'll admit that I'm really anxious to meet him.

Other than that I really don't think life could be any better at the moment. I have a wonderful husband whom I love and adore, and a great extended family. I have plenty of projects and crafts that keep me busy and tons of food in my fridge and freezer to help me hone my cooking skills. Oh, and a husband who cleans the kitchen, because it makes me sick to be in there for too long. What else can a girl ask for?

I have a few worries about becoming a mother, but I have faith that the Lord will help me be the person that I need to be. AJ will be a great father and I have no doubts whatsoever about his abilities. After all, he is so childlike himself sometimes, how can he not be great at raising one?

Life is just wonderful.

Just sitting here thinking

There are two songs that keep running through my mind every time I think about my son. I'll just put up the lyrics to the first cause its my favorite.

I remember sayin' I don't care either way
Just as long as he or she is healthy, I'm okay
And then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
And said, "You see that thing right there? Well, you know what that means"

I started wondering who he was going to be
And I thought heaven help us if he's anything like me

He'll probably climb a tree too tall and ride his bike too fast
End up every summer wearin' something in a cast
He's gonna throw a ball and break some glass
In a window down the street

He's gonna get in trouble, oh, he's gonna get in fights
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback
If he's anything like me

I can see him right now, knees all skinned up
With a magnifying glass tryin' to melt a Tonka truck
Won't he be a sight with his football helmet on?
That'll be his first love 'til his first love comes along

He'll get his heart broke by the time he's in his teens
And heaven help him if he's anything like me

He'll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast
Get a speeding ticket, he'll pay for mowing grass
He's gonna get caught skippin' class
And be grounded for a week

He's gonna get into trouble, we're gonna get in fights
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback
If he's anything like me

He's gonna love me
And hate me along the way
The years are gonna fly by
And I already dread the day

He's gonna hug his mama, he's gonna shake my hand
He's gonna act like he can't wait to leave

But as he drives out he'll cry his eyes out
If he's anything like me
There's worst folks to be like, oh, he'll be alright
If he's anything like me


It really makes me think about what our son is going to be like. I can't wait to get to know him. I really hope he's like his dad.

The Good Stuff

I can't help but imagine what he's going to be like and what things he's going to like.
I am so excited for AJ to have a son! I think he will be the greatest father!
