Our first project was to get this cowboy potty trained.
So, these are the last of the diaper pics. Aren't they cute!?
He's been doing so great!! We are so proud of him and how fast he's picked it up. I guess it was kind of expected, though. He IS almost 3!
After he got the hang of the potty - which was really about a week and a half - I started frantically trying to get everything I wanted to get done before this baby comes! I left town as soon as I FINALLY started feeling well. So I definitely didn't get anything done before since I was so sicky, and when we finally came back, I started feeling the pressure cause we were about a month away! Anyway, here are some of the things that have been keeping me busy.
I made a bunch of burp cloths. I did this last time, but didn't love the flannel I used, so I redid the ones I had and added a few more to the bunch. You can never have enough, right?
Our biggest project has been getting the 3rd bedroom ready to be Jason's big boy room. I love the way it's turned out so far! I wanted to make it an inviting space so he wouldn't get jealous of the nursery. Since we're having another boy, it's pretty much exactly the same and I'm still a little worried that he'll have some possession issues since he spent the first 3 years of his life in there. Anyway, craiglist was great to find some furniture, and the bedding was also a steal, so it came together really easily!
I wanted to make some kind of decoration for his walls, and this is what I came up with.
I just got some unfinished frames and some unfinished wood vehicles and some paper to match his room. Attached the paper to the back of the frames and the vehicles to the paper. Super easy and I really love the way they've turned out!
There will probably be more to come for his room, but I think it's got a pretty good start.
So, as I mentioned, we've been just getting everything ready for this baby! Which mostly means doing lots and lots of laundry! I just wanted everything cleaned again!
I also decided to follow some advice and make another baby blanket for this new little one. I think it will help in the beginning - just so Jason isn't jealous that the baby get's ALL his stuff. He'll still have his own blanket at least! It's a small thing, but hopefully it'll help.
This one is pretty much the exact same, except I used a darker blue on the backside and a darker binding. In all honesty I love Jason's blanket best, but I didn't want them to be exactly the same.
My latest project has been this car seat tent for the baby car seat. I wanted one last time, but never got around to making one. I LOVE the way this one turned out! I tried to keep it gender neutral in hopes that we'll have a little girl someday.
And I think it matches our car seat pretty well. I used {Mo Momma's tutorial} and made it last night while watching the debate. :) It was super quick and easy! Love it!!
We put my sewing and craft stuff in the nursery using a desk that came with the bedroom set we STOLE on craigslist for Jason and it's been so nice to have it out so I can use it! I've been busy!
Can you tell what Jason's going to be for Halloween??
Now we're just waiting for baby. Any day now... The due date is the 24th, but we were spoiled with Jason who came 5 days early, so we're really trying not to expect an early baby this time! However, I am dialated to a 4, so things are progressing! If I had to guess, I'd say I'm going to be in the hospital sometime this weekend, but please NOT the 21st, cause that's my birthday. Here's hoping!

Brittany, you are so talented!! Looks like Jason and his little brother will have super cute rooms!
The rooms look super cute! Jason is getting so big and I'm sure he'll look even bigger once Brother comes along! Good luck with everything!
Great job on my car seat cover tutorial! I love how it turned out :) Thanks for the comment letting me know you made it.
What?! You don't want to be in labor on your birthday? Grandma had your dad on her birthday, Jen had Spencer on Ben's birthday, so I'm thinking the odds are stacked against you... Can't wait to see him no matter when he comes!
Also- how amazing is the frame with the woman behind yoour sewing machine!? I love it. You, your mom, and then I assume grandma and great-grandma. So sweet! And a great idea for every daughter to have!
Ok, first, LOVE the pictures of Jason wearing your boots! So funny :) Second, I'm jealous of your Bernina :) and Third, he's gonna be the cutest Peter Pan ever! Good luck this weekend!/the next few days till baby boy comes.
