In March, Lily and I went to Indiana for another long weekend at Grandma and Papa's house. The main reason for the trip was so I could attend my friend's baby shower. Jen is a sorority sister who lives in Georgia so I usually don't get to see her. But she has family in Indiana and she and her husband made the trip up for the shower. LeAnn (another sorority sister) lives in Indy, so it was great to see her too.
Same picture, but showing the bellies. Jen's due date is about 1 week before mine. My black dress helps disguise how big my belly is compared to hers :)
The week after the shower was my Mom's Spring Break. So Lily and I stayed a few extra days and had some nice Grandma-time. Poor Papa had to work. :( While there, I got a fantastic sewing lesson! I've had my Mom's old sewing machine and bought a dress pattern (for Lily) and fabric over a year ago, but could never find the time to work on it. I figured it's now or never because I'll have even less time once Pumpkin arrives. Plus, with my "nesting", I have a great urge to tie-up loose ends and finish the projects I have looming out there.
The lesson was a success and I made a sundress for Lily and another for my niece. Grandma took it a step further and made matching bloomers and a hat for Lily. I am definitely getting a good picture of Lily in all this to document my hard work. Plus, it may be the only handmade outfit she gets for a while. :)
