Diaper Wipe Case

I've been in love with cute wet wipe cases for quite some time now, and I've managed to lose 2 plain ol cases and have been using a Ziploc sandwich bag to carry wipes in for Makayla. Well today I found a case at Honk's a Dollar and decorated my own diaper wipe case. The Huggies cases are nice but when you get it all decorated then you cant even use the cool top so with this one it doesn't matter cuz it doesn't have a cool top. I started my removing the attractive sticker that was on the top then i cut and sewed some material and hot glued it onto the case, it was pretty simple. I used some left over batting from the curtains to pad the top and the bottom of the case just for fun. And i learned how to make cute fabric yo-yos which also turned out to be very simple. I used some scrap fabric i have in the house and a ribbon and button i also had so in total it cost me a dollar :)

Flyleaf Concert

Jared won some tickets to the Flyleaf concert from a radio station (the blaze) so last Friday we went to the Murray Theater to see them perform. We got there at about 7 and waited in line for about a half hour to get in then when we were inside we waited until about 8:45 for them to start, on the tickets it said the concert started at 6:30 so we were all wondering if we were hanging around for nothing. They didn't end up having an opening band, so maybe that was why it took them forever to begin, I'm not sure they never gave us an explanation. The sound could have definitely been better and i don't think it was the bands fault but the sound guys fault, the bass and the drummer were overpowering the singing and you could not understand what she was singing in the slightest, i totally drowned her out. So we stayed for about seven songs and decided that we would rather listen to it online. It was fun to get out of the house, the wait was lousy, the band was very animated so that was fun to watch but not a very pleasant listening experience. I'm pretty sure my baby may have hearing problems because of the concert it was sooo loud! our camera doesn't take very good night shots

An Update

Last Friday at my Dr's appointment I found out that the baby is around 6 pounds 11 oz, which is what Makayla was when she was born, and that i'm dilated to a one+ which is more than i was with Makayla the first time I was checked with her, so he's obviously a bigger baby and my body seems like its progressing faster with this guy. Both good things i think... I have a date set to be induced on the 20th at 7:30 at Ogden Regional, at first I was hesitant cuz it seems so close but now I'm completely comfortable with the idea of being done then. When i was pregnant with Makayla my contractions felt like hunger pangs, so pretty mild and now that i know what my contractions feel like I definitely feel them more with this baby. But i also think they have been more intense with this baby too. I'm pretty sure my ribs are bruised they hurt so freak'n bad most of the time and just about all of my shirts are belly shirts on me which gets frustrating when I need to find something cute to wear. Today I'm in total grandma elastic band pants they are hideous :)
I had an awesome shower on Saturday, (thanks to Livia for setting it all up) and after going thru all of the clothes and stuff i have for him I'm pretty sure we are set and have enough of everything which is a good feeling (thanks everyone whose been so generous in helping us out!). I washed the infant car seat last night and i have it all clean and set up for the hospital if I had the camera around i would post the whole set up. Carrie made me a super cute car seat cover that i'm using with a baby wrap blanket that goes inside the car seat so you dont have to tuck blankets in everywhere. I plan on getting my overnight bag packed and ready for the hospital today. They told me to eat a light breakfast before going in but I know they plan on starving me all day so I may disregard that and eat my fill.
As for New Moon, I may join all the teeny boppers at the midnight showing at one of the plain ol' theaters that you don't reserve your seats at. Its the night before i give birth, so it might be a bad idea but i cant imagine I'll be getting much sleep that night anyway. But I may wait and see a matinee a couple of weeks later when the crowds have died down and i need to escape from the house.
When i get the camera around I'll post some pictures of the flyleaf concert and tell you how that all went.

I've got a tough decision to make and I'm having a hard time figuring out what would be best. My due date is the 28th of this month and with Makayla I had my Dr start me a week early because i was done and ready to get her here. So I have the option of being started again and I'm thinking that is probably my only option because i think that Makayla was content with living in me forever and my mom had to be started with all of her babies. The tough decision is deciding when i want this bundle of joy here, I'd like to work it around Jared's work schedule on a day that he has off so that way he doesn't have to take unpaid time off. The most ideal time would be the 19th to be started its a day that Jared has off and he also has the next day off so he could spend that time with me in the hospital, he would be missing some school though. The next week he has Thanksgiving and the next day which is his birthday off, and I'm thinking my Dr wont feel like starting me on Thanksgiving but she may be just fine with the next day. I don't care to push it to a week late because then he would have a December birthday and i think a November one is bad enough. It would just be nice if he chose to come all on his own, but I'm afraid i would be two weeks late and delivering a 9+ pound child. A dumb but i think valid reason i don't want to be started on the 19th is that new moon comes out the 20th and although i don't have tickets I'd like to see it before it comes out on video. (it'll be harder to get away with a newborn). So I'm stuck, the best route seems to be to let nature take its course and he'll get here when he gets here. Maybe i'll just schedule an induction on the 27th if he's not here yet, that way i can enjoy thanksgiving (kind of) and Jared will get a baby for his birthday :) I'll be able to see new moon between then and i wont be taking him too early. I'll keep you posted on the big day and let you know when that might be.
