28 Weeks.... Tomorrow



I am getting Huge! lol


Some people may find it strange but it is amazing to me to see her move around so much!


Blessing Dress




Organizer and Diaper Stacker


Lewiston!

For those of you that dont know, I am in Lewiston Idaho now! Yes finally made it! At chuch in my relief society they announced me as ,"Brea Skousen is here, she is not a myth after all!" I thought that was pretty funny. The last week I have been pretty busy. I stole my moms sewing machine so I finished the baby quilt, and then had alot of extra material and made the diaper stacker and organizer. I took a stroll down to JoAnn Fabrics to grab some velcro for the organizer and what do you expect? They are having a pretty big sale weekend! Yay! The patterns were all only $1.97. I decided to challenge myself and see if I could make a baby blessing dress. (I have never made any real clothing
out of a pattern before) Ahhh. I got all the
material and things I needed and got busy. I didnt realize that this dress was going to be so much more complicated than the bedding was! On a few parts it would take me a couple of movies to figure out what the pattern was even talking about! Lol but It kept me busy and turned out to be alot of fun!

Darrells Projects



Those of you that I have told I was helping Darrell build an Eiffel tower and the cathedral I figured I should post the ending picture so you know what exactly I was talking about!

Time in Oregon

So I have spent the last month and a half in Oregon with my family while Darrell is up in Lewiston, Idaho at his internship. In Oregon we were pretty busy with ... idk everything. The first few weeks I spent on the baby bedding, I made the crib sheet, bumpers and crib skirt, I still needed to do the quilt but had to wait until I could get more lace for it. Finally it was in stock the week before I headed up to Lewiston. I have pre-made layouts for the baby scrapbook, It was great having access to all of moms scrapbooking supplies... and her cricut! I borrowed a cartridge from Sharon which was amazing! It had the cutest baby cut outs. I also cut out the baby shower invites and thank yous! THANK YOU SHARON! I should have pictures soon just waiting for my mom to send them all to me!

Time Flies

I have been wondering lately what I did with my time the last few months in Provo. Then it occurs to me that I was sick most of the time. I cant believe I was so sick with how perfectly healthy I feel now! Well define healthy..... I am about 15 pounds heavier than I started out with this pregnancy so accordingly I am suppose to gain a total of 25-35 pounds. I think I am on track. If only I can keep my spoon out of the ice cream in our freezer and any dessert in sight! I have been craving the moose tracks ice cream it has fudge chunks/swirls in it and mini reeses cups! Mmm The baby is now moving all the time from morning all the way through the night. For awhile she would only move at night which was not exactly what we want. Hopefully she gets on a good schedule before her due date so that she can sleep at night for us. lol
