So it has been a while since I've posted but I've been busy. I've done a couple more sewing projects. I got these cute things from Oh So Sassy and I think I'm gonna do more of there projects because they are super easy and oh so cute. Plus, we've been getting ready for Lee (aka Daddy) to come home. He's arriving sometime this week. WHOOO HOOOO!!!!! We are out of minds excited. I will post more later but for right now that is what we've been up to. We are hoping that the rain will stop soon so we can start doing things.

I just love this apron. It even has pockets.

What have I been doing lately? Well, I've been doing a bit of sewing. It has been a long time since I have done anything besides sewing on patches for Lee. I've been wanting a Hooter Hider (aka nursing cover) since I had Stephane but didn't want to pay $40 for one. So I took matters into my own hands this time around. I also made a matching diaper clutch. I love it.

This was my first diaper clutch that I made it wasn't big enough for Stephane size diapers.

This is my second one. It is much bigger and can hold both sizes of diapers with ease.

Now on to other projects. A couple of capes for Stephane, a scripture bag for Marie-Eve and some things from Oh So Sassy for my friends Virtual Sewing Party (which anyone can join in).

Stephane being Stephane

Stephane is my biggest cheeser. Whenever I pull out the camera he stops everything and says cheese. Even when I'm trying to get him to continue to do something that he probably shouldn't. I sure love him so much and he's just so darn cute.

Spring Pictures 22 April 2010

Yesterday I took the kids out for a spring photo shoot. Marie-Eve has been asking me to take pictures with the pink flower trees since she saw them 2 years ago. Well, I finally did it. Then we went to the parade field to blow bubbles and just play. I only wish the clouds weren't so low so Mt. Rainier was in the background. Well, I guess we will just have to go again. I took a million pictures and here are just a little sample.

Stuffy noses

I want to tell you about this wonderful product that I have found. It is Graco's NasalClear® Battery Operated Nasal Aspirator. I bought it on a whim since Jean-Louis has been stuffy pretty much since he was born. It has been working great to pull all the stuff out of his nose. I used it for the first time today with Stephane and man I can't believe all the stuff that it is pulling out of there. He woke up this morning with a constant runny nose and since I started using it it is a long time before it strts coming out again. If you don't have one of these yet I suggest you go and get one.

April 5 2010

So I was a bit disappointed this morning when I stepped onto the scale. In the last week I've gained 2lbs. What? Well, I'm not one of the lucky ones that just shed pounds while breastfeeding but I really didn't think I would gain weight. I know I have struggled with this after each child but have not actually been weighing myself and keeping track. The only thing I can think of is that I'm eating to many calories so I'm going to start tracking how much I eat. I'm going to use my account on sparkpeople.com to do this. Hopefully this will help me. Here's to hoping.

Day 1

This is day one of hopefully a massive weight loss. I weighed in this morning at 259. I don't really have a goal for how much I want to weigh but I do want to be able to get into some prepregnancy clothes. I have a ton of clothes to wear but can't fit back into them yet. I want to get out of my maternity clothes. So every week I will post my progress and hopefully you will see me shrinking right before your eyes. :)
