There's a FIRST for Everything...

This week was full of firsts:

-My FIRST time making stuff for my house! My lovely friend Lyndsey helped me make some pillows for my living room. Although the seams and lines are not straight AT ALL, I still love them! I bought this really cute canvas material at Joann's and covered some pillow forms. Here they are:


I covered the back of the pillows with a tan color:


I also made a wall-hanging for above my fireplace. I saw this idea on HGTV where you stretch material over a frame made of 2 x 4's. Don't judge the rest of the mantel...I'm not done yet :-)


-My FIRST time being 20 weeks pregnant! We find out in one week what we are having!

-My FIRST time buying maternity clothes. They are not officially maternity shirts, but just bigger sizes. The Shade store at the mall was having a good sale! I got all these cute shirts for 10$ each.


-My FIRST time having a 2nd anniversary! I love you babe!


With all of these "firsts" I did have one HUMONGOUS LAST....my LAST day at the BYU Bookstore! "WHAT?!?" I know...crazy. It was about time to move on. It was a wonderful place to work for all of these years. I met so many wonderful people who will be my life-long friends. I love you all :-)

*Update*

This is me at 19 weeks. I finally actually believe that I have something growing inside of my body (weird). Although I haven't felt the baby kick yet, I guess everything is going well because I am getting rounder, gaining weight, and the baby's heartbeat is nice and strong! I don't know why, but I am so very anxious that things are not going to go right and there is going to be something wrong. It stresses me out so much that when I go to the doctors office my blood pressure is sky-rocket high! I have to start calming myself down before appointments, otherwise I will probably be put on bed-rest at 20 weeks..haha. We have our ultrasound in 2 weeks so I think once I see that everything is good to go, I will feel more at ease. ANYWAY, for those of you who are interested in seeing me get larger: hope you enjoy :-)


This is Jess at 19 weeks. Its been really stressful for him too...he's taken to eating for the three of us to cope.
