We are pleased to announce the birth of our little girl . The Father gave her to us free from the womb Today at 5:01 PM weighing in at 6 lbs. 12 oz. We did not know when this day would finally come, but we are so thankful to the Father for this gift of joy and love. We appreciate all of you who lift us up, encourage us, care for us, and bless us. If you would like to come and visit while we are still at UNC Women's Hospital, please call us directly at our room number at 919-966-7118. We are in room 5W08. So you are probably wondering now after all this time, "What is her name!!!???". Drum roll please....

11 Days to go

Shout out to Casey... (the only one I trust to cut my hair) for my new do. At least I'll have cute hair during labor. Ha! This just might be the last pic of me pregnant. I would be happy about that.

New Blog to Follow

Cake Wrecks is the new blog that has me laughing. For example...

Sewing Project

My new sewing machine was just the push I needed to jump in and complete my sewing project. I thought about what I was going to make for my daughter... first, it has to either go into the crate not to be seen again until Feb. 2011 or small and light enough to travel in our luggage. Second, it probably should not be clothes because she has plenty. Third, I'm still a beginner so it needs to be simple. Therefore, I decided to make her crib bedding. After buying some of the fabric I found out that cribs are not the same size in Brazil. So I returned the bumper pad forms... and was discouraged. Then, my new sewing machine arrived and had a sewing night with friends. Now I am back on track for completing at least a dust ruffle before she arrives (that is if she stays at "hotel utero" until her due date- Oct.30).
