I knew Saturday was coming, and since 1st time babies usually come after their due dates, on Thursday I started looking for some DIY’s to keep me busy. A friend mentioned a couple of weeks ago about www.pinterest.com and I was curious, so I checked it out. It’s an awesome website! Simply put, it’s a place where people post different things they like when they are browsing the internet. From Wedding idea’s, terrariums, DIY’s, cute puppies, to amazing kitchens. It is a great place to get ideas, find cute things, and something other than Facebook to keep you occupied!
Yesterday as I waited around, I went to the Dollar Store and Michaels to stock up on some crafties. I found most of these ideas on Pinterest’s “Nursery” search.
Project #1: Yarn Mobile.
I will change the colors, but I thought this would be nice to add to the nursery, and keep myself busy as I wait.

Project # 2: Name Mobile for Wall
Can’t really do this until we name our son (his name won’t be “Jackson”), but it will be a good project to do while on Maternity leave.
Fun Name Project
Project #3: Wall Flower
In the Picture, top right, you see white petals & a round mirror in the center. Bough a mirror at michaels for $2, and construction paper for $1. Cut flower petals out and glue to back of mirror. Not sure where it will go, but it will be fun to work on!

So, hopefully these will keep me preoccupied to pass the time, as I wait, watch and pray.
I am feeling good, a little more tired though. Just keeping up with laundry, dishes, cleaning until my body decides to do what comes naturally. This time is a sweet time because I get to wait and focus on our son. I’m not anxious about him not coming yet, but taking this time to rest, think, dream. I want to see this time as a blessing and not negatively. Pray with us as we wait.
