What Erin has been up to

Instead of complaining about being pregnant... which is what I do most of the time... after all, I am 8 months pregnant with what is sure to come out being a sumo-wrestler child and am highly uncomfortable, moody, overweight and cranky.  SO, INSTEAD of complaining ... well, anymore, I will tell you what I have been up to.

Well, there is the normal stuff, but for the most part I have had to take it extra easy during this pregnancy.  With all the problems in the past, I didn't want to risk overdoing it and causing me to have to deliver earlier than would be healthy for the baby.  So, I have been put on a bedrest sorta regimen.  Basically, I need to lay down for about 3 hours during the day and should sit or lay as much as possible and need to not do anything I don't HAVE to do.  Um, ok.  So, this has left me with a lot of time at home and therefore I decided I needed a new hobby.

It started in February when I told my mom that I wanted to learn how to sew a couple skirts for my girls.  A couple skirts later, I decided I wanted to quilt something... well, since then, I haven't been able to be stopped....

Plus a few more not pictured and I have also gotten involved in several quilting bees and have made some really fun blocks!...

 

 

 

So, yeah... I have been working obsessively on quilting stuff.  I am thinking it must be some sort of nesting instinct I am having, but I am enjoying it and now my mom and I have even more fun stuff to do together!
