No photos...but what we've been up to

So it's been CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY. but what's changed eh? Seems to be the story of my life!! I'm busy with Noah alllll day long and then once aaron gets home i get a chance to clean a little more and then off too cook dinner,bathe noah,feed him and get him to bed. Once both of my men are in bed usually I have to stay up and fill orders for the store with gobs of bows, and children accessories or doing a cake. Then I get to wake up with little man ALL.NIGHT.LONG....Still!! He still wakes quite a bit :(

I just feel so stinkin drained and like i can NEVER and will never catch up on sleep or rest.

Ok now on to the fun stuff. Thanks for stickin through the depressing first part...great opener huh?


Noah-Well let's talk about my little man..who is seemingly not very little!!! I take him this week to find out exactly how big he is but we are thinking around 18 lbs and very long for his age! I cannot believe I gave birth to such a big little guy!!!! But it runs in the genes..even though aaron and I aren't big my uncles and his dad are all over 6'2"! Noah is now four months old and is wearing size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes and starting to outgrow those as well!! I had to pull out some of his summer time polos for him to wear and they are already getting short! He rolled over about 2 weeks ago and mommy couldn't be prouder!!! He loves to sit in the bumbo and try to crawl which right now is him attempting and just scooting across the floor :) he is eating baby food and LOVES it all...No suprise there! He is trying to talk more and more everyday and is getting the most adorable personality, he is happy pretty well all day and smiles like it's nobody's business!!

Baby weight-Ugh...i got sooooo depressed being fat for ten months but now i can say that I am 2 lbs. lighter then when we got married!! Whoo hoo!! and starting to get back into running (also have to do this when the boys are in bed!)and yoga.

Wedding Planner-MADDDY IS FINALLY ENGAGED!! WHoo hooo!! And she asked me to be her wedding planner and i am sooo soo excited it is just so much fun :)

Business-I've been ridiculously busy lately but I can't complain I love what I do :) I have been booked all month and next month has only one week empty then in May I have a HUGE wedding cake and have gotten LOTS of wedding cake orders so that makes me reallllllly excited!!

This Crazy Life of Ours

Word to the wise...Do not I repeat do NOT try to move at 37/38 weeks prego..It's not very fun. However, between myself and my hubby we got it all done, and I must say for two ppl to do that I'm pretty impressed :) We are all moved into our new home and aaron is working away getting this finished...Since he helped build the house we moved in early so that he could work on it while living here so that we were not trying to make a big move with a newborn too...the downstairs is about finished just have to finish some little things which should be done my friday! I put the tree up this morning and I was soooo excited! I always have mine up so early....I wish i could keep it up all year long but aaron would not be very happy!

Well, I had a Doc Apt. Yesterday and found out that I am now 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced...We are crossing our fingers that this boy comes this weekend or sometime REALLY REALLLLLLY soon. I also found out why my ribs have hurt so bad during my pregnancy..Remember me talking about how my left side of my ribs just kills and it never goes away? Well the doc felt around and said because my uterus and Noah are so squished in there that my uterus got up under my upper rib and has pushed it out of place...so that plus that inflammation around it is soooo uncomfortable and just plain hurts. Bad. He said hopefully it will go back to place a couple weeks after Noah is born but that pushing may possibly make it worse...So we are praying for the best in that :) we are just so ready to see this boy and have him in our world...and to NOT be pregnant anymore!!!!

Well, this was pretty short but I'm off to clean some house and walk around a lot to try and get this boy out! Have a wonderful day

TuTuCute Baby Line

I posted a few days ago talking about the new baby collection that I'm going to start doing. Here are a few samples of the diaper wipes cases that I'm doing. Each diaper wipes case is custom tailored from fabric to embellishments. Each case is padded so that it is durable being thrown around in a baby bag and covered in a fabric of your choosing. You can also elect to add embellishments, monograms, initials, etc. to make it your own. Each case also comes full with huggies baby wipes.

The wipes cases will all have coordinating Diaper/Wipes Carriers that coordinate in fabric and can hold 5-6 diapers along with the wipes case. This makes it easier when on the go. You can just put your wipes and diapers in one place and when you need to change you don't have to dig through your diaper bag or even carry it, what you need will be in one place. These will be posted soon as that I JUST finished the Custom hospital Gown :)

I will also be posting photos of the matching blankets/lovies that can go along with your set

This is a Custom Hospital Gown because really, who likes to wear those thin as paper, same as everyone, show your backside gown while in the Hospital? I certainly don't. That's why this gown was made. It too can come in any fabric of your choosing and have any kind of closure you choose as well because, you want to look cute when you bring your sweet little one into the world and EVERYONE comes to see you :)

TuTuCute Bows

Hair bows are all one of a kind custom bows that can be made to order to designed by the customer..I can do any color combination you wish and you get to pick your style. Each bow is attached to your choice of a spring load clip or alligator clip that is covered in a coordinating ribbon for easy transition from wearing it with a headband to big girls who can simply wear them alone. Here are some that I finished a couple of weeks ago and just now got the time to add. TuTuCute Bows are sold at and can be ordered through Knickers and Petticoats and A Wonderful Life both on main st. in Washington or through me :)...(if you are a reader of this blog i would love to suggest you just order through me and save yourself some cash!)
