Big Sister Bags

A couple of months ago I decided to make the girls big sister bags for when they come to the hospital. I know they'll be excited to see the baby, but will get bored very quickly! So I thought it would be fun to get them some goodies and make them feel special!

I bought some plain canvas bags from walmart and painted big sister on the front. Then I used some fabric I already had to sew some ruffles & make flowers. I think they turned out pretty cute :)


Here's what I put inside:
-Stickers
-Paper & Crayons
-Playdoh balloons
-Bag of snacks & a drink
-Legos (Scarlett)
-Magnetic Silly Faces (Bryn)


They're all packed up and ready to go! Just waiting for a baby...

Catch Up...

I've sat down about 5 times to write a few recent posts, but haven't managed to get anything out. My brain is lazy. So here's a catch up from the past couple weeks...

The girls were cheerleaders for Halloween.
They have Texas blood :)






We went trick or treating with some friends b/c Stuart had to work, but he managed to make it in time just as we were leaving! :)



Bryn had her last soccer game.
Don't let this picture fool you, I think that's the only time she ever ran to the ball ha. 
Let's just say soccer probably isn't the sport for her. She's too girly ;)


She did like being the goalie though!
And was just excited to get a trophy at the end :)


I'm now 37 weeks pregnant! (Full term)
At my checkup last week I was 2-3 cm & 80% effaced! 
Which means she could be here soon. We're just waiting....patiently hah.
Trying to get everything crossed off my pre-baby to do list. 
I managed to prepare 10 freezer meals last week! 



Last week the USO put on a free Sesame Street show for us on base. 
The girls had fun!



The Marine Corps birthday was on Saturday. I told my husband that I refused to go this year being 3 weeks away from my due date, so he invited his dad to go with him. 


And I'll leave you with some random pictures, b/c this whole post is random & I'm lazy haha.









Maybe my next post will include a birth story & pictures of a baby girl??? 
Wishful thinking :)
