Oh well. <br /><br />After Easter I tackled cleaning up the hurricane that was my craft room and now I am officially ready for that "next project". I have promised Corynn a few projects (she has been VERY patient) but Matt is going to be gone ALL next week so I will likely have quite a few of my own projects in the works in all my evening spare time. I just don't know yet what they will be!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-39427321682910570582010-04-16T18:28:05.523-05:002010-04-16T18:28:05.523-05:00You look beautiful, Rebecca!

I've been wondering about you both. :)<br /><br />And thanks so much for all the links to the patterns (although some of them didn't work ;)). I especially like the Itty Bitty Dress. I'll be making several of them and if this baby is a boy I'll just tuck them away until we're blessed with another girl.<br /><br />So have you been doing any sewing or other crafting since your Easter rush? I'd love to see what you've been up to! :)Leahhttp://www.reformedfarmerswife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-17180231060775413672010-04-16T14:25:13.622-05:002010-04-16T14:25:13.622-05:00PS.

AMY.<br /><br />One thing, in reading back my comment, that I forgot to mention is that once I forced myself to drink so much water, I actually began to prefer it.<br /><br />And after I began walking, I would walk faster and faster-always pushing myself-until eventually I was JOGGING the entire time. SO I do think pushing your limits is good and not just settling for a nice, leisurely walk. ;-)<br /><br />And Paula~ just so's you know:reading back my comment I noticed that it didn't sound as funny as I meant it too...in fact, the first part didn't come across as funny at all. I was joking then. Didn't want you to think I was mad or anything....Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-7427505878388245182010-04-16T14:21:54.145-05:002010-04-16T14:21:54.145-05:00Oh-whoops!

I tend to agree (but I hate myself for it because I would rather spend time making special things for him/her.) <br /><br />That is a good idea about the boy name. Something to look into!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-89979536061547821902010-04-16T14:20:16.270-05:002010-04-16T14:20:16.270-05:00Amy~I lost 40 pounds two years ago, right before g...Amy~I lost 40 pounds two years ago, right before getting pregnant with Adele. So-you have already far surpassed my most valiant weightloss story! You are doing fabulously~so don't lose heart.<br /><br />What I did? I made myself drink two 32 ounce containers of water before I drank ANYTHING else (homemade tea, anyone?!), I stopped drinking soda altogether and immediately after supper, I would go for a walk/jog. Every night.<br /><br />It was SIMPLE, when you think about it which frustrates me. Looking back, I think it is amazing that those few simple things made such an impact in my life. The problem is, I am EXHAUSTED by post-suppertime so walking seems out of the question and all I seem to crave is sweets (tea?!?!?). So-I really need to get back on the bandwagon. REALLY. In that way, you are the inspiration!<br /><br />Paula~way to freak out an already overly-prone-to-freak-out pregnant lady! Sheesh. <br /><br />I know sugar is bad for me. TRUST me. I wonder what you mean about sugar causing the problems your JJ has had though. Never heard of that. I HAVE heard of caffeinated drinks affecting the baby but never sugar. So, anyway, just curious. I am trying, REALLY hard, to cut back (a lot) but I can honestly say I will probably never stop eating sugar altogether~just approaching it more healthful.<br /><br />We are talking about real sugar, right? And not that awful nasty aspartame and sugar substitutes, right? Because I know all ABOUT those nasty little things....<br /><br />Oh-and for your address book-my email is<br /><br />sgrbear724@ yahoo dot comRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-80775964770841218202010-04-16T10:47:39.710-05:002010-04-16T10:47:39.710-05:00Rebecca, I cannot find your email to email you pri...Rebecca, I cannot find your email to email you privately, but this is SOOOO important that I will share it here. PLEASE I know you are craving sugar, but you need to stop eating it. I had the same problem when I was preggers with JJ. And I have no doubt it was the over abundance of sugar I ate during my pregnancy that led to all his health issues. And you KNOW what I have been through with him. :( If I had known then what I know now (through research and talking with other mothers), I would have thrown away every bit of candy or sugar in my house. Eat a stick of butter if you must, but please please please for baby (and for you - this has been so very very hard on me), stop eating the sugar while you are preggers. Feel free to email me or call if you want.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563263512988137401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-47363196831270302312010-04-15T22:22:53.578-05:002010-04-15T22:22:53.578-05:00Your photos are LOVELY, Rebecca! :) You look GREAT...Your photos are LOVELY, Rebecca! :) You look GREAT! :) And the baby belly is perfect! <br /><br />So, if you don't mind me asking, you lost some weight in the past?! How did you do it? (if you don't mind me asking) I'm plugging away at mine (as you know) and I'm at the point of needing fresh inspiration! :) Success stories always revive me! :) Say I understand fatigue and sugar in pregnancy (and outside of pregnancy for that matter..snicker)...boy, DO I ever!! :-)<br /><br />Blessings to you and Smooch!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291951073853426272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-55588555545656271452010-04-15T22:03:28.485-05:002010-04-15T22:03:28.485-05:00Hello,

I made that itty bitty dress for a friend when she had her baby girl. It was sooooooo cute and she loved it. It goes together really quick too so that is nice :).<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to do the posts of child training. It is a wonderful change up to all that comes at us from the worlds view. You put things so well and it comes across in a loving, respectful, godly way.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074626664663171618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-83884777287555041692010-04-15T20:25:22.831-05:002010-04-15T20:25:22.831-05:00You are just so cute!

I was just talking to a lady yesterday that was 6 months along and she was complaining about the baby moving and kicking so much. I loved that feeling!!Miranda Hupphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002975820312235632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-73797403216643365862010-04-15T19:49:57.159-05:002010-04-15T19:49:57.159-05:00Love. Your. Photos. And your dress. And this post....Love. Your. Photos. And your dress. And this post.<br />I followed a tutorial the other day to change a regular skirt pattern into a maternity skirt. Ahem. I didn't think I could really look like an over grown bush, but apparently it is possible. (I used green floral fabric). I "think" its just the pattern I used, and I'm going to try it again with a slimmer fitting pattern. Oy. (oi?)<br />I wore it today, felt silly, and then saw your stunningly gorgeous pictures, so now I feel bigger. Thanks. (just kidding!)<br />I am SOOOOO glad you are craving sweets! I have been so bad I thought something might be wrong. Namely chocolate and smarties.<br />You are not an ogre, anyone can see the love and adoration (even through blogdom) in your family, so fear not.<br /><br />Any way, I think I must make that dress, and the stroller bag is destined to be a purse for me methinks.<br />Wow, I'm chatty. Tomorrow is the big day! No real thoughts one way or the other, but maybe slightly towards boy, since I had swollen feet with Biscuit, and my shoes (snort, not that I wear them much) are feeling really tight. I'll have to cave and buy flip-flops. I'm not much of a flip-flop fan. (say that 3 times fast).<br />I think I better be quiet now, I'm boring myself, Oh, but GRAND goal of no maternity jeans- I did it before and it can be done!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363843039604440511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-59142747426870124422010-04-15T19:48:10.526-05:002010-04-15T19:48:10.526-05:00You are looking lovely!!!

You see I carried Sean quite high and everyone insisted the baby was a girl due to that fact. Let me tell you HE is definitely ALL boy!! Oddly enough we named all three of our boys with names that could not be shortened (intentionally) and all three mean John in 3 different forms of Gaelic. Ian=Scottish Gaelic, Evan=Welsh, and Sean=Irish. All three mean "gift from God" which all three of our boys truly are!!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082661310058536555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-86761658906062277742010-04-15T15:27:00.760-05:002010-04-15T15:27:00.760-05:00If you get an ultrasound, will you find out if Smo...If you get an ultrasound, will you find out if Smooch is a boy or girl? And I carried Joe so differently than the other two, and HE is far from girly. :-) <br /><br />Did Andrew have a special friend in the Bible? Can't remember. If so, that may be a good name.
