Well Peanut is of course the star of any show these days so here are a few pictures of the first week of his life...I am another super excited first time parent. Can you tell?
This was my favorite time in the hospital. We just took a nap all snuggled together for hours.
He came home with Jaundice so we had to keep him in this personal tanning bed for a couple days. This made for two horrible all nighters to make sure he didn't pull the eye patches off and the screen down and blind himself.
I caught him doing this after I fed him one day. I put him in the boppy and ran for my camera. I like to think he was having a nice serious conversation with God about how we were doing so far as parents. I hope we passed the test. He looks like such a wise little man already.
COMING THIS WEEK...Family pictures!!
All right, now for the "Look What I Made". These are a couple projects I finished over Christmas break while we waited for the baby and the movers to come. First off I made a head board. I was very pleased with everything, especially the price of the pleather and the fact that Rob had access to a staple gun. The only thing that didn't work out were the buttons I tried to make to cover the staples. My home kit isn't heavy duty enough. The material was too thick. I am currently trying to work out a remedy. You can get the picture though.
Secondly, I made these photo holders for our Christmas presents to our parents. This was a fantastic project. I cut out the letters with a scroll saw (imagine very pregnant woman in a shop drilling, sawing, etc), drilled holes for dowels on the top, then covered them with scrapbook paper and mod podge, and added some mini clothes pins to hold the photos. Wa-la! Time to get some good photos to send their way.

when i read "look what i made", i thought you were referring to the baby. still fits.
I thought the same thing as Mackenzie...haha
Oh he is so cute- I love the ones with his hands, so adorable!
The headboard turned out so so great!!! I'm please that I could help you out in creating such a masterpiece. Love it!
That's too bad that she had jaundice. Isn't that unusual for a baby that was born after the due date?
Nice handiwork.
Your projects look amazing! You're so handy! And way to go first time mommy! I'd be worried if you weren't super excited!
So cute! I'm so excited for you guys! I hope I get to meet your little one soon! And good job on the headboard I'm super impressed!
We love seeing pictures, but look forward to seeing the real thing (or baby, that is).
I read The Book Thief from your good reads list. It was really good, but a tear jerker.
Seriously? You cut those letters out with a scroll saw? You put every crafter in the world to shame. IMPRESSIVE, Anna, Tres impressive.
