From the front, you can see what position he has pretty much settled in... head down, with his big butt on my left (I feel all the kicks on the upper right). According to spinningbabies.com, this is an optimal position... so hooray!

I know my shorts are ridiculous, but there are about three things in the world that still fit me and that's one of them. And those don't really fit me either.




I made two ring slings, one black flannel for winter and one green cotton for summer. They are a little less wide than the internet said to make them, and a little bit shorter too... so I hope they work alright. I followed the instructions on the sleeping baby page to make the pleated shoulder.




I also made a changing table pad. It has waterproof PUL on one side and yellow flannel for soft padding on the other side. The rectangle at the top is sort of like extra padding for a pillow, and it also serves as a pouch that the whole thing can roll up into.

This is me at 21 weeks! I had to go buy an XL sports bra at Target because my medium does not fit anymore. By the time my milk comes in, NO BRA will be able to hold me!!



I made a dirty diaper bag, which is just a pillow case I lined with fleece and added a drawstring to.



I also made several more cloth wipes... basically anytime I get a hold of some super cheap or spare fabric, I make it into wipes.



I also made a hooded towel with some pink polka dot trim.



I tried to make a maternity skirt for myself. I just made a tube of fabric and added elastic on the top. So it looks pretty much like... a potato sack. Haha. So I'm trying to make it less ugly. Any ideas?? I took in the seam in the back on the top half, so that it's a little more fitted in the tush area and it gives it an illusion of an A-line... but it's still pretty ugly.



Our friend Dan is visited from Charleston. Ash and Dan are working on a record in one of my parent's walk-up attics which Ash converted into a temporary studio. When we went to Charleston last August, they started this album.
