Here is what I am working on right now. A mini book titled "Waiting for you". It will go month by month and what I felt during that time. The front and back cover are chipboard covered with cork and the inside pages are covered in felt and blanket stitched around the edges. So far all I have completed is the front and back cover and one inner page covered with felt. I think it is turning out super cute and can't wait to get it finished.
Sometimes when you have not had a family yet and you scrapbook you find you feel like you have run out of things to scrapbook about and everything you do scrapbook feels redundant. Now...it has all changed...I feel like I have a purpose again. A scrapbooking purpose. To remember every feeling, every thought, and every thing that happens during this time. You only have your first child once. I hope to be able to document them all.

Oh....I wanted to post my baby baby shower invitation that my sister made for me. She made it as a photo and we are printing them off at wal-mart. They are super cute and the cardstock texture comes through and prints out on the photo. They are also going to be super cheap so that is a plus.
Here are some photos that I have taken and I wanted to share them with you:

Here are the latest pictures of the L.B.! Isn't he just precious? I think he is the most beautiful think that I have ever laid eyes on...but of course I am going to think that...he is mine. I can't wait to finally meet him in three months. The first photo is the best profile that we could get. The second is the next best profile and the third photo is of him sticking his tongue out at the lady who was doing the ultrasound because he was mad at her for pushing on him so much and making him move around. He already has the temper of his father and I can tell he is going to be a daddy's boy.


The other night I was laying in bed waiting for Adam to come in when the L.B. started kicking me really hard. I was thinking, "I hope there is nothing wrong because he sure is kicking hard." Adam walked in after that and started talking about something...I was only half listening because I was focusing on what the L.B. was doing when he stopped kicking. Adam then took a pause in whatever story he was telling and the L.B. started kicking hard again. As soon as Adam started talking again he quit. I must have had a funny look on my face because Adam looked at me and asked, "What is wrong?" I said, "I see how it is...every time you started talking the L.B. quits kicking and listens, when you stop talking he starts kicking again." Needless to say Adam was quite thrilled with this new development. I thought it was adorable and it made me "all warm and fuzzy" inside. Adam is going to be such a great dad. I am really excited to see him in action.
