Really? It's October already??


I can't believe it's October already. Man, does time fly by fast. Things have been going great for me. I'm feeling good, at 34 weeks pregnant. Baby Chloe is going great, and enjoying playing with my bladder and kicking my ribs. Her room is all set up. I need to do a little bit of cleaning/organizing before I can take some pics. But don't worry. I will post pics real soon!!

I can't believe that Chloe will be here in about 6 weeks. It's crazy... and I'm starting to freak out. I'm so nervous... Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. Even after taking the baby classes, getting her room set up, getting the hospital bag ready, and washing all of her clothes it doesn't seem real. I hope once I see her and hold her for the first time my fears will melt away. But right now, I don't feel like I can do this. I'm so scared. But I have a wonderful family and friends that will help me along the way. I just hope I'm ready for this adventure!




With that said, I'm sorry to say that I will be closing up my Etsy shop on October 16th. I will be putting my shop on vacation mode for a few months. I'm really not sure when I will be back. I'm thinking January, maybe earlier, but we will see. It breaks my heart that I will be away for that long. It's going to be so hard coming back. I won't be able to put in 110% in my Etsy shop with a little one. My crochet time will probably be cut in half. But I'm not giving up! When I come back I will have to learn to be patient. These last few months have been really good for my Etsy shop. When I come back I will have to give myself a really low goal. Like one sale a month. And work my way from there.

So for all of you out there, Get your Halloween and Christmas gifts early! My Etsy shop will be closing on October 16th!! And I'm doing free worldwide shipping until then!!!

It's all thanks to a wholesale buyer in California! She's place 4 orders so far. With about 12-14 items each! Yippee!!! My items are selling like crazy in her store, and that is AWESOME!

Other good news:

Chloe's Room






Justin and I got the crib and changing table a few weeks ago. Her room is starting to come together! The room is slowly being filled with baby things! My baby shower is next Sunday, so the room should be pretty much set after that!

Baby Bump!


Here's the baby bump pic at 29 weeks!!

This pic was taking last week.

I wonder how much bigger I'm going to get...

The pregnancy is going well. Beside the usual discomforts (ribs hurting, and finding it harder to breathe), I'm feeling great!

I'm 30 weeks along! Only 10 more weeks left!!

Chloe will be here before I know it!!
