all things love.

{i am not all there in my mind.  my husband can attest to that statement.  i mean, i feel & think that i have it all together, but then i come across something like this - a blog, a month-old blog, that i've skimmed over and purposely not posted, when in fact, it was done and edited weeks ago.  i blame pregnancy brain.  the good news is this is all coming to an end, shortly, but the bad news is that i need to make room for nursing brain and 3-kid-mom brain...}

v-day at bub's school.  we made heart-shaped crayons - super fun!  we even had extras to keep for ourselves.  

the valentine bags included one recycled crayon, a pack of organic fruit leather shaped mini-hearts and a spiderman hologram.  jack's not too keen on writing just yet, but he was all over the stuffing of the baggies.

of course, grandma and grandpa needed flowers for valentine's day - i couldn't not show them love!  my grandpa was so great about bringing her flowers, so it's only right for me to continue the tradition for him.  if pink tulips were available, that's what he picked up.  naturally, i couldn't help myself.

baby 3's room!  looking forward to getting all the extras in place.  as of last weekend (again, another one of these posts that i started pre-bed rest...), all my gender neutral clothes are washed and hanging in the closet.  the blankies and sheets are washed and folded on the shelves.  the closet is cleared out of big kid toys, the baby board books are in place, and i have a hefty supply of diapers ranging from newborn to size 2!  i feel like i'd be ok with baby coming... except that she/he needs to gain some chub and develop his lungs a little more.  ah!  i said his.  yep, maybe jack has convinced me...  

one sewing project that is complete is 5 strands (3 feet each) of pennants.  i chose an array of gender neutral colors, traced my triangles from a scrap of cardboard and cut them out using pinking shears.  pinking shears, totally masculine, right?!  currently in production is the valance and cover for the warm windows aka darkening shade.  it's a lot of work - it's big and bulky (as am i) and crawling on the floor, cutting and pinning fabric in place, proves to be a work out in itself.  but, i'm totally up for the task.  anything for baby 3!    

we added paint glitter to the yellow stripe; so fun when the light touches it!

more baby 3 room pictures to come, among other nesting projects.  my husband already said he wasn't sure if he was going to survive nesting 3.0 - it's been tough on all of us!
