Waiting...

Waiting for this baby to come has been filled with ups and downs. I have some good moments of being alright with whenever Miles decides to arrive. Those are my Zen moments. Then, I have moments of being uncomfortable, moody, and having an extremely difficult time not being in control of the situation. This is definitely not an easy situation for a "Type A" personality like mine to deal with.  As I have said, I am sure this is just a test for me, and it is teaching me patience and faith.

It has helped to have some projects to work on for Miles. Somehow this makes me feel connected to him and excited about the next phase. I have made a few gifts for him in the past week. If he would just come out, I could give them to him!

Car Seat Cover

I made a car seat cover out of a cute elephant material. This is a lightweight cover to use when he is sleeping and we are out and about. Then you can just flip the cover over to peek in or show this cute baby off to the world. It has Velcro attachments to keep it on the car seat.

 

 

Crinkle Tag Blanket

The latest baby craze are tag blankets. This small 12" x 12" blanket is designed for a sensory experience. The tags are fun for babies to play with. Then as an extra sensory experience, I added plastic inside the blanket to make a crackle noise when touched. 

Door Jammer

I know I will be one of those new moms that wants to check on Miles about a million times when he is sleeping. So, this little door jammer allows the door to shut, but without the noise of the door "click." It was easy and quick to make.
