The low-down
WOW! Has it really been SIX MONTHS?! As they say, the time has flown. Absolutely zipped right by! I thought I better pop my little head in here and give a brief update for anyone still checking in:
-Life is good!
-Kids are great.
-It's a BOY!. (I'm 35 weeks, can you believe it? Just a few weeks left.)
-It was a solid 7 months of the pukies, but I'm feeling good now. Hooray!
-Busy furnishing/decorating the new house now that I can actually get off the couch.
-Still no yard- just a GIANT dirt pile. Lots of fun for the kids, not so much for Mommy.
-Nope, no name for the babe either. Ideas?
That's about it! I hate to complain about being pregnant or use it as an excuse, but the truth is-- I suck at it. Some women were made to carry babies. I, unfortunately, was not. Don't get me wrong, we are so very, very grateful to be having this little guy. It just comes with months and months of torture to get him here. Absolutely worth it, but we are DONE at three. This mama is simply not cut out for more. :)
Our next item of business: Aprons-
Yes, I still make them. I've got bolts and BOLTS of fabulous fabric to use. I wasn't *feelin* it for a few months, but I'm ready to dive in again for a bit before baby arrives. (And will continue afterwards if I feel able!) I have a need to create, and it's very rewarding to be able to be Mommy and make something that people are willing to spend their hard earned $ on. I sincerely thank you for the support! **That being said, there's a new apron in the shop. :) Only 25 of this particular style, either kit or ready-made version. Hope you like!**
Okay friends, next post will be MUCH more timely than the last-- and cuter too.
Best~
Kim
I'm still here! Glad to see you back on the scene. Hope things are getting better with the pregnancy!

Your aprons are so beautiful.

I was glad to see you back and delighted that there's a good reason for your absence. Looking forward to traveling with you through babyhood and aprons. I'm sure you'll need different kinds of aprons for that ;)

Hey, I'm 35 weeks pregnant with a boy and about 6 months absent from my blog, too! Dealing with the pregnancy is about all I can do these days so I try not to have too much blog guilt. Glad for your update and to hear life is good!

Congrats. I love your stuff! So inspiring. We named our boy Spencer. He's 10 months of fun. Good luck finding a name, that's the hardest part, I think.

Ohhh LOVELY!
It's the little joys...finding fun emails to tell you to go look at cute things!
So happy to hear you're feeling better. What a bummer!
Hmmm..boy names.
How 'bout,
Harrison?
very distiguished...very adventurous! lol
ciao for now!

Holy crap, you actually posted! And just when I was ready to take you off of my blog list. ;)
Glad you are feeling better my dear. How did your glucose test turn out. I "get" to take mine next month.
Still no names here either. Ugh. The boy name we had picked out is Donovan. You are welcome to it if you'd like. Send any girl names my way. Eden got vetoed b/c Kelly thought that sounded like a stripper name. Men.

Hello sweet friend!! Congratulations on your sweet baby boy!!! Gosh, I'm sorry about the sickies....I stay sick most all of my pregnancies too so I totally relate.
I am happy to hear you are feeling better!!
I thought about you a few weeks ago when my girls asked for caramel corn!! (it was sooo yummy) Oh, and if you're wondering...no we are not in our house yet! LOL!! And I thought we would spend Christmas there!! HaHa!
The new apron is beautiful! Take care of yourself!!
(((Hugs))
