Headband Mania

It is official. Since my house is clean, besides the kitchen, there isn't much for me to NEST around in. So I've started making headbands. You know the kind everyone is buying on etsy for 7-15 dollars. Thus far I have created about 10 head bands, 6 clips, and 9 flowers waiting to be either a headband or a clip. I am loving everything about it. Expect burning my finger tonight. Yes, fire is involved in the making of some of these and no I'm not sure its safe for me to be doing but they look so cute. :D Don't worry I'm making sure to unplug the hot glue gun every time I use it and since I'm using matches the only thing I'm burning down is the skin on my fingers. Here are just two examples of what I have been making.. 



We added a black futon to our living room and a rug from IKEA. Ella hasn't quite figured out what all we are doing but she figures if her bone is allowed then she likes whatever it is we are doing. 



Below I'm 32 weeks. It has FLOWN by. Oh and my new hair cut! 

Yes, I realize I'm now missing an eye.. but I gained feathers. An Eye for a Feather... 


That is all I have to offer from my scattered brain tonight.

Kick boxer..

Most people refer to their daughters as dancers or gymnast. I'm pretty sure mine is going to be a kick boxer.  The super pretty kind though. Every night as I finally settle down and start to read or just relax Olivia starts these MAD kicking sprees. I truly believe she is practicing for some type of martial art in there. Oh well... Maybe I can get her to wear a tutu as she kicks all the boys?

I got a haircut today. A long over due hair cut I may add. Tons of layers and feathers. Yes, I bought into the trend (literally) and added some feathers to this mane of mine. They are fun and spunky, the way I need to feel going into the last 2 months of this pregnancy. 2 MONTHS! I'll be 32 weeks on Thursday and I can't believe its real or that this is really happening so fast some days. I try to slow the memories down and just thank God for all that is around me.

I've had two great showers, thrown by friends and family that love me deeply. They blessed us beyond belief with everything we need for Olivia. I'm pretty sure our NOW needs have been met. Jeff keeps saying diapers but we have a closet full.. so I think we are ok for the first few months but what do I know? Would you believe me if I told you I didn't take my camera to my Atlanta shower? That's right. I forgot it in Mobile, AL. My Mobile shower I did take a few pictures at.. but they have yet to make it to my computer. Slow is the pace I am running on right now... I need to pick it up just a little bit.

All things considered I am extremely excited to start this new school year. Its Jeff's last year! That's right, I said LAST YEAR! I'm so proud of him for finishing a degree in 3 years. He has pushed himself to the extreme and had many sleepless nights (just practicing for Olivia) but has earned every part of graduating in 3 years! May 12th, 2012. I'll be there with an air horn!



Here are some pictures of Olivia's bedding.. I can't remember what I have and haven't posted on here..
