And for some reason I start all of them. Last year I bought a bunch of material to make a quilt. I'd link back to that post, but all those pictures were deleted when I changed emails on the blog, so blah to that! But I got this material last year, and was all gung ho on making a quilt, and not wasting my summer away. Well, here we are, a year later, and I just started sewing them together. I started on Wednesday, and then finished everything on Saturday. Look at that monster! To give you an idea of how huge it is, my dad is about 5' 10", and he's holding the top, while my mom is holding the bottom. And yes, some is laying on the ground. It's a queen, but I wanted to make sure that it would hang over the sides of the bed, so ... this is what I ended up with. Now it's a matter of getting the batting and then finding someone to quilt it for me. I'm sure THAT will cost an arm and a leg. But it definitely is exciting to see something that I made come together, and benefit from it. Hello, new bedspread!
I have other things that I keep wanting to make, do, have, etc. but I am finding that I don't have the time/patience/money. Patience being the biggest one. I was telling my mom that while cutting all the fabric, it was so irritating, because the fabric just went into a huge pile, and there was no reward in that. But sewing the blanket, I saw the rows come together, and then sewing the rows together, I saw the blanket take shape! THAT was rewarding. So needless to say, I'm a big fan of instant gratification.
Big news in the Larson home!
We're having a boy! Justin is SO excited. He's the last one to pass on the Larson name, so phew! Check that off the list :)
I'm officially 20 weeks. It's weird to see my stomach getting bigger and bigger. I'm still not feeling him move all that much, but the ultra sound tech said that was normal. Woo hoo! I'm hoping that changes though, because I would feel a little bit better if I could feel him moving around rather than spend all my time thinking that our little boy is a wuss, or has no spine or something like that.
Hahaha I don't really think those things... but it would be nice to feel him!
Also, Justin got a job!
WHAT A RELIEF!
The amount of stress he's been under has been insane. Since finding out we were expecting, and graduation coming, and our lease almost ending, he was just under a lot of pressure. Knowing now that there is a way to provide for our family, and insurance, and all those good things took a load off.

A boy! Congrats! And congrats on a job, that's such a relief! I remember at my 20 wk with Carson he was moving all around on the ultrasound but i still had never even felt him yet. At 20 wks! It seemed to take forever for that aspect. post PICTURES of your cute tummy tracee! C'mon!
I am so excited for you! What a fun journey pregnancy is. I felt the same at 20 weeks and she continued not to move much throughout the entire pregnancy. So happy that things are coming together for you guys. I'm sure you have had many prayers answered! Love you.
I really cannot wait to meet the Little Tiny! And we are thrilled Justin found a job here. Hallelujah! Oh and btw, your quilt looks awesome. I wish I was patient enough for that.
Good job on the quilt, and congrats to Justin! We are so excited for you guys...he will be so cute!
Woman, what are you trying to do - cover a 3rd world country all at once with that blanket?! Just kidding. It looks amazing. And woot woot for Justin's job!
