Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Awkward
-This dream I had where Trinity wasn't really mine. I was just a surrogate who also had to nurse her for a few months and her momma was an old black woman.
-resting my arm on the attached-to-the-wall soap dish, the whole thing broke off...Super Hero asked if the sink broke in half. Really? What kind of activities do you think I'm up to in the there?
-tried on a dress from my closet and a spider was crawling at warp speed toward my face. Yes, I yelped, and flicked him off. Then I had issues with being in my room because I didn't know where he landed.
-During one of the many baby-likes-to-eat-every-45-minutes nights this week, I managed to put my nursing pad in backwards, so for her next feeding my whole left side got soaked. Did I change my nightgown? Nope! I just threw a towel on the bed and told Super Hero not to worry about the sour milk smell

Awesome
-Science kiddo started scouts again this year, he is now a 1st year webelos scout and greatly looking forward to earning his badges.
-Chatty Boo has started ballet. She is not graceful, at all. Super Hero said something about getting it from some woman...but I didn't hear him.
-Went to a wedding to watch two people pledge their love for each other and to God.
-Mootshie Pie is growing so fast! Soon her double chinned, lumpy legged self will be in 3mo clothing!
-Watching my Science Kiddo and Super Hero break dance
-Super Hero and Chatty Boo, dancing sweetly together

What was awkward/amazing for you this week?


btw, got this cute aa thursday idea from this blogger!

Inifinity Scarf

I love scarves! Anyone who knows me knows how great of an understatement that it. I love them all year, but especially in the Fall. One can never have too many scarves and I am so thrilled I found a tutorial on how to make my own, simple, scarf.

I came across this tutorial the other day for an infinity scarf. I own a few and really love them! This tutorial is so simple, and requires NO sewing. Even better!

Here are the two I made. The first was made using a size small maternity top {from my 1st pregnancy}. This is the perfect size to use for a little girl scarf.

See how perfectly cute that is?! I just cut the bottom part of the shirt, under the arms and then cut the trim off the bottom. {the tutorial link above will go over this in more detail}

This tank is a size large maternity, from my 3rd pregnancy. {we just won't go there, k? Mmkay}.

Again, just cut the bottom part under the arms and cut the bottom trim off. I stretched this one, since it was 100% cotton, and that made it nice and long. Perfect for wrapping several times! The edges of the green scarf have rolled, which makes it look better, I think.

Now I am on a major hunt for some cute tees that I can turn into Infinity scarves.

How about you, what's your favorite Fall accessory?

Introducing...

Trinity Grace

3 lbs 11.4 oz

19 1/4 inches long

Born 7/25/11 at 8:50pm

I realized I never shared her name with you all! I'm still writing the story and desperately trying to get back in the swing of things. I still haven't ordered curriculum for the year!

I'm hoping to have the story posted by Friday...but no promises. :]

Baby Crazy

Wow! So much has happened in the last month. I should be 38 weeks pregnant right now, but instead, I have a little girl that will be 4 weeks old tomorrow!

Things turned super crazy on July 25th. I want to tell you all about it. Hopefully soon I will have it all written and ready for you.

But for now, I'm just enjoying this:

wiww #4

It's that time of the week, where I show you lovelies what I wore...

I'm hooking up with Lindsey for fashion inspiration, which can be difficult to obtain at 28.5 weeks pregnant!

But I make the attempt! That's gotta count for something, right?!

This week is only one outfit as I was just too busy to stop for the camera.

White Top: Target Maternity

Sheer Top: Living Dolls {Marshalls}
Jean Crops: Motherhood
Flops: Gap
Necklace New: DailyChocolate

Headband New: DailyChocolate

I have to say, I am in.love with that sheer top! I was in Marshall's this past week looking for a new comforter and as I was walking to the register I saw it hanging there...calling my name! I just had to get it. It's so fun and light, so I can add layers without killing myself from the heat!

Plus, the color and lace just make me swoon!
