progress on the pregnancy

So here I am getting ready for the baby, I have decided to crochet the blessing blanket and then I will make the dress when the time gets a little bit closer, so this is what I have achieved so far, I started two days ago, so with all the daily things to do and doing this I would say I'm doing good on the progress. I chose the color yellow because she will be born in the spring and the blanket will also have a purple ribbon that goes around it in the trim part, so it will be a fun project to do, when I do the blessing dress, it will be white but with some yellow and purple flowers sewn on randomly or I might put a see through over lay on with petals in the bottom of it, so I am excited to do this. So the pic below is of the blanket so far and when I am finished I will post it on the blog, for all of your opinions on how it looks.




This is me almost six months, I have a week until I am 6 months, so I would say time is at least getting by, it still feels like forever and forever until Melanie gets to come, but my hopes are getting up because the new year is soon here and I will have three and half to 4 months left, so yeah, plus I still have events coming up that will help the time to go by a little bit faster. So until now cha cha, also the pic was for my friend jenny who wanted to see how my belly was growing, so there ya go, that's me being pregnant and a lot more growing to go!!!!!!!

Where we are now !!!!!!!

<



Well here we are, we have moved back to billings Montana, and we are very comfortable now and enjoying our time here!!! Jesse never quite his job and had a change of heart on keeping and staying with it, so me and the kids moved to pocatello for just a month and moved back with Jesse, so that we could all be together. We had a wonderful Christmas, here in our new home, we are renting a town home still in the heights area and we are loving it. It is very cozy, and it has all that we need so yeah. When we moved back, and I was able to use all of our belongings again, I got right to work on the girls Christmas dresses, so the dresses they are wearing is what I sewed for them, it was a lot of fun and work. But I enjoyed every bit of it. Also to come to find out when we moved back is that we are having a little girl, How lucky are we, I guess girls are just in our favor from the lord. So here is a picture of her already




She looks just like my other girls to me and I can't wait to be able to kiss her and give here hugs. We are going to name her Melanie Kaylee Burk, still keeping with the M, K names that I choose for my girls. But the middle name is a little bit more special because it is the name of our niece Kalie who passed away a year ago, so it has some meaning behind it. But we are very glad to be having a little girl, even though we were hoping to make it even and have another boy, but hey at least we have one little boy, who is quite the character and keeps us laughing that is for sure. Any how I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and soon to have a happy new year, keep in touch.
