A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That

"When I was a kid,

it was a huge insult to be a geek.

Now it's a point of pride in a weird way."

- J.J. Abrams

Homebody Series :: DIY Giraffe Stuffed Toy

"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,'

then by all means paint,

and that voice will be silences."

- Vincent Van Gogh

I've been taking advantage of my staying at home and 'nesting' before baby comes by doing some DIY. I came across a post by Alexa from Stitchy Mama on making a giraffe stuffed toy. It is easy and I was able to finish one in maybe 3 hours. The only thing that took some time was cutting the pieces of fabric. And, maybe stuffing the giraffe.

I took advantage of Joann's 40% off coupon off a regular priced item. I still enough fabric to make two or three more of the same size or maybe, tweak it to make it slightly larger. I decided to go with a gray palette since it is gender neutral. 

Here is my finished product:

Diary of a First Time Mom :: Things I Found Out While Pregnant

No amount of books or hearsay from family and friends will ever prepare you for the journey of being pregnant. And, you will find out things by going through the process yourself. And, each pregnancy is different. 

Things I've found out while pregnant:

1. Morning Sickness sucks. 
2. I enjoyed having a 'Super Nose.'
3. Waddling. Can be cute and can also hurt sometimes. 
4. Pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel. I can't even bend my fingers on my right hand before feeling pain. And, also numbness in my fingers. 
5. Contractions will only get worse. But, we've all heard that.
6. Center of balance is shifted forward. When walking, it is very easy to jostle and hurt yourself with the extra weight you are carrying. Especially, during the later weeks of the pregnancy.
7. Walk. A lot. It helps put baby into position, especially during the later weeks. 
8. I love my bump. 

Is there anything else that I might have missed?
