Last week, I finished a quilt for one of my good friends here in Denver. She’s having a baby girl, due at the beginning of June. It was my goal to finish this quilt before our ultrasound. I think I did pretty good considering I finished it the day after… it turned out pretty cute!

And here’s a little sneak-a-peak of the quilt I’m doing for our little bundle…

It’s from Heather Bailey‘s Bijoux and Pop Garden collections. I’m thinking of also writing up a tutorial for this simple quilt I have planned. Anyone interested?

Baby girl sure is strong! Last week, I felt her kick from the outside and was absolutely thrilled. Since I’ve been waiting for my next opportunity and it came this morning. She was doing some really big kicking before I got out of bed and so I felt her kick from the outside once again. One of them was so huge that I wish I had been looking at my belly too because surely I would’ve seen a footprint in my skin. I already feel like a proud momma of my strong little girl! I look forward to her every little movement in my belly! Now if she’d only coordinate with her daddy so he can feel her kicks…

Hiya! Here’s a little shot of me yesterday before church. The shirt I’m wearing is handmade by yours truly. It’s a Built by Wendy, Simplicity 4112. The sleeves are a little outrageous but very slimming, don’t you agree? I hardly look pregnant! Ya right. The pictures don’t really show this, but I used lime green buttons which I thought added a nice little punch (because the sleeves weren’t enough!).

My new favourite photos. She’s number one and she knows it!

And it’s a…

GIRL!

Much to our surprise, and I’m sure everyone else’s judging by the opinions, we are expecting a little girl. Ultrasound went well. She’s as cute as can be in black and white. I’ll post some photos later. We’re thrilled by the way! I can’t wait to see what she looks like. Brunette or blonde, my ears or Conor’s? I hope she has my nose! So exciting!!
