Thinking I should continue to document this pregnancy somewhat so here I am, 23.5 weeks with baby #4! This definitely hasn't been my easiest pregnancy, nevertheless time is flying by!

Motherhood right now...

I feel more settled into my role as a mother than ever. It's messy, busy, hard, beautiful, joyful, rewarding, delightful. I'm tired and honored to do this wonderful work. I fall short over and over again, yet somehow my heart grows and grows.

Sometimes I still sew?? I made Maeve this sweet flannel dress using Wiksten's Smock dress pattern. I love this pattern with it's big pockets. I skipped the elastic on the sleeve because I didn't want the wrists to feel bulky. Maeve is really pleased with this dress. It's soft and sweet. It felt really good to make something. Next up, Maeve's birthday dress!

I don't feel bad about this, I really enjoyed Halloween this year! We carved pumpkins, dressed up in costumes, took photos, paraded around the block, played at the playground, trick or treated at 2 houses, ate pizza and wrapped up the day with the movie, "Coco," and pumpkin cake! It was absolutely delightful and so wonderful to have all that family time together.

We carved pumpkins! Kind of feels like a fall miracle to have actually completed this activity. Some of the kiddos were more pleased than others with how their pumpkins turned out. So it goes sometimes!
