at least for me. I love fabric…. LOVE fabric. I sew and I sew and I sew some more. Now that I am sewing for me, I love it again. Fabricland had a members only 50% off sale yesterday, if I could have carried more giant bolts to the table, I would have. Instead I stayed reserved, with my little list. Slings and baby things. With my sisters about to have their babies, I need gifts. And they are both having girls so why not make them a little package that they will hopefully love, filled with girly related baby things.
Here are the fabrics I chose yesterday:
Pink: for Diaper and wipe Cases, catchalls, bottle carriers and hopefully Change pads.
Cream: for the slings: Neither of my sisters got to use a sling with their other kids, and I loved mine so much, I figured I will make them each one, if they don’t like it, it’s ok cause it was a gift :).
Blue: I picked up a little bit of stripes in some boyish colours, just in case the u/s technician was wrong 😉
Nothing like a little bit of fabric to make me sew happy!
My sincerest Thank You’s go out to all of you who supported me this past week. It has been tough, but I am ready to carry on. The biggest realization came to me yesterday. No matter how sad it is to have a miscarriage, it is even sadder (for me) to not get pregnant at all. I would get terribly sad and depressed at least once a month for a good day or two, when I would have to face the fact that we could not get pregnant. At that point our chances were 1%, but I still held out for that miracle that we sometimes hear about. And, now I feel that there is so much more hope. Our chances of conceiving are almost above average right now, considering we have been pregnant 3 times in 9 months. Hubby too agrees that we should continue at this point, try a few experiments and see what the outcome is.
Thank you again for all the support and will let you know what it is like to be a human guinea pig 🙂
My Husband works in the healthcare industry. No, he is not a Doctor, but somedays he pretends he is.
Yesterday, he came home early to spend time with me, for which I was grateful. Until, he decided to give me a lecture on the upcoming, not the potential, but upcoming Pan_demic. Now, I am not a fearmonger nor am I naive. I do know what is going on out there, but I am trying to live my life not in fear of a possible outbreak. I did tell him that yesterday was not the day to discuss, but he felt the need to drive it into my head that loved ones will surely die, that we will have no food or water and he will be at work for the entire time it is going on.
So, basically I will be alone to care for myself and our little guy. I will most likely catch it because I shop in malls, we will run out of food and water because I do not have a three month supply in the basement. We will have no water or means to cook… hmmm.. let me think of what else… oh yes, I did mention that one of my loved ones will die. Yep. That was my grieving day yesterday.
So here I sit this morning, planning out how to get a few extra supplies in the house so Hubby doesn’t do that to me again. And, have a plan of attach on how we are going to cook and clean with no running water and method to cook. Therefore, the next time he tries to scare the crap out of me, I will be as prepared as possible to say, I am as prepared as I can possibly be.
