We're Spicing It Up...

We have always had boring bedding, cream  colored sheets and a cream colored bedspread blanket.  That is the current situation.  I would love to have one of those lovely things from Potterybarn but our "bedspread" just gets used too much. Spit-up on by a baby, snot wiped on it by a two year old and so on.  So a "lovely thing" is just not in the cards right now-at least not until the kids get older.   I was inspired by someone in blogland, I think it was How Does She, I looked every where and couldn't find the post though. I was inspired because this person had a plain colored bedspread and had made pillowcases out of fun fabric.  I can do that I thought.  So I took myself to the fabric store and bought some wild fun fabric and conned my mother into helping me sew them.  We had fun.  So here they are:


I didn't know if I could step out on a limb that far with that red floral print but I'm glad I did.  When I grow up maybe I'll get some bedroom furniture. ;)

Well yesterday we visited the Dr for the well baby check and immunizations :( Joslyn is doing great.  She weighed 12 lbs and 15  oz 95% for weight 23 inches long 75% for height.
(2 months and 3 weeks old)
I don't remember Hudson's exact numbers because it is kind of a circus trying to get a two year old to cooperate at the Dr's office.  But he was in the 90% for weight and 75% for height.
They both got shots which I will never do again because which one do you comfort??? :( I was so sad for my babies.
I have been having some major pain in my wrist and down my thumb.  This has been going on for months (since about the last 3 months of my pregnancy) I finally decided to ask the Dr about it since it is now affecting my every day life (it hurts to write.) So he tucked my thumb and did this and that, and bent my wrist just so and I went through the roof.  He said, "yeah that's what I thought you'd do." So I have tendenitis and he gave me a shot of cortizone. :( It is starting to feel better already.  So thanks to my sweet hubby for taking care of dinner last night because my wrist hurt and all I wanted to do was hold my baby.






Here is Hudson with his CONSTANT companion: Lightning McQueen.
Don't think I am kidding when I say CONSTANT.

Hey I finally got with the program and updated my editor, WOW!!

Love the pillows. I need to do something like that, but then...I don't sew. :) Glad your wrist is feeling better. And I can't believe your baby is almost three months old! That is crazy!! She's as cute as can be though!

I will just repeat what I always say- very cute miss Elise! You are very creative!!!
Sorry to hear about the wrist! When I was pregnant with Isaac my wrist was so bad I couldn't write my name. I thought it would never feel normal again and then I went to a physical therapist and he was a miracle worker!!!! It was crazy but after 2 weeks I was better and haven't had it since... I'm glad that shot worked for you:).
