Asher's cape

I just recently learned how to use a sewing machine and I have been enjoying this new outlet. Thanks to Alex for letting me borrow her sewing machine for a while. So far to date I have made 7 baby blankets for friends and cousins, 6 burp cloths, 2 bibs sorta-Eunice did most of it and I just recently finished two capes for the boys.
The boys wanted flame capes :) so they have guitar flames on one side with their initial and then another initial on the plain side with a little "sign. " Benny got a lightning bolt and Asher got a POW, Benny calls it a bomb with his initial (which I find extremely fitting for his personality) :)
Joe was the big hero and took the capes to a screen printer he works with and they put the initials and artwork on for free-the boys were so excited when they saw them.
On my upcoming list I am redoing a bookshelf with burlap, and making baby blankets for me, Ashlee, Allison, make a few pillows for my cousin's baby room and make two more capes for the boys. Hopefully my energy holds out before this little boy decides to come-sooner than later.

UltraSound Day

Today we had an ultrasound to determine how far along I am.
According to my knowledge, my last period was Dec 10 which put my due date on Sept 10- and me being 9 weeks and 6 days. But at my first OB appointment Norla, my midwife said my uterus felt more like I was 12-13 weeks as opposed to 9. So after much speculation as to why I might look and measure bigger; twins, having my third child, I'm fat and extra amniotic fluid. Well we got our answer today.
I am sorry to disappoint some of you but we are having one very active baby.
I am 12 weeks and 4 days which puts my due date on Sept 4th-Labor Day. The baby looks great, (I am going to default to saying 'he'-come on I have 2 already) he flipped all over and never stopped moving. He gave the tech a hard time getting some measurement. We were very excited to see him tiny and perfect. Joe was happy to see just one :)
Thanks you all for your thoughts and prayers I guess we'll all just have to wait 6 more months to see what we are having. I am glad to know about when he will be coming. We are very excited for number three and are very thankful to the Lord for another little blessing.
