baby crafty

So there has been a great baby boom recently in my family. My sil, myself, and soon my sister will all have had babies in these first few months of the year.
For my wonderful sil, knowing her love for the Indianpolis Colts, I made her a tag along blanket featuring a super soft fleece and minky fabric. And a matching pacifier clip.
And for my beautiful sister, not knowing what she is having, I made her a diaper cake along with all the items on it. There is a giant plush octopus. He is super soft with minky and a fishy flannel pattern on the
underside. Two tag along toys, a whale and an octopus. The whale has a bell inside for extra sensor development and the octopus has a "secret" in him that makes him crinkle for extra sensory development. Along with baby wipes, pacifier clips, and a large blanket for that o so important tummy time. I would have to say that she is set. As for my little guy, I made him a gorgeous baby cocoon and matching hat set for some beautiful newborn pictures. I also put my love for cloth diapering to good use and made him a Colts fleece diaper cover to match a blue and white hat that I knitted for him.

Anxiously awaiting and working....

So it hit me yesterday that I will have a new baby in about 3 and a half months. And that really got me thinking. It was the thought, "I have 3 girls", I have nothing that is ready for a boy.
I think to add to my anxiety is that Charles has been working, training, and just not here for weeks. I usually do so well when hes away but I just find myself so depressed when hes away now. Hopefully my hormones will get in check before this next deployment...
On the upside though, I have found a small bit of down time between the kids screaming and crying, and finally finished the in-laws baby gift! It is soo cute and soft. I suppose I should wait to post pictures until the babyshower though!

Trying

So I continue to try and find time to start my business. But it isn't going so well. I think I am more afraid of failing then I am of not trying at all. I know that I DON'T WANT AN OVER NIGHT GRAND DEPARTMENT BUSINESS, but just getting it off the ground is taking much longer and more expensive then I had imagined it to be.

On top of those expenses, I am beginning to cloth diaper which is taking up more money that we just don't have right now. it sounds selfish for me to still even want to start a business knowing that I have all these other expenses that take more precedence. But its that little something I need for myself I think. I spend all day with my 3 kids and my ever growing tummy. I just want something that I feel is all MY accomplishment. I think every mother deserves that. A little piece of heaven.
