Update

I've been really bad about updating this blog lately (not that I've ever been really consistent in the past), but things have been a bit busy around here and I've been spending my time enjoying my baby girl and each new milestone that comes. I don't want to take my eyes off her for fear that I'll miss something...she's only going to be this little for a short time!

Welcome 2010!

I know that I'm a bit behind in my blogging...and there's no sense in catching up when the slate is clean for the new year...SOOOOOOO...Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year from the Bradens! :)

Stuffs

To give you a break from the endless pictures of Callie, here's some cool blog posts/websites that I've recently come across. I'd love to make every single one of them, but there just isn't enough time in a day...maybe eventually! :)

Revamp an old t-shirt, like this:Knit this beret for my little one:
Make this amazing shrimp pasta dish (looks so yummy!):Save on wrapping paper this holiday season by using these instead:Crochet more clutches like this (on sale in my etsy shop) :
Ok, that is all...now to resume posts of pictures of Callie! haha! :)

36 Weeks, Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
This is the third year in a row that I've worn my cat ears.
I guess I'll make it a tradition to bring them out every year...it's just too easy! :)
Just counting down the weeks til my due date...less than 4 weeks!
I'm down to weekly appointments at the doctor's office.
I'm 1 cm dialted, little over 50% effaced....not that that really means anything at this point.
Staying busy with "nesting".
Getting anxious to meet our little one and find out if we have a he or a she! :)

32 week maternity photos

We went home to St. Louis at the beginning of the month to visit and for a baby shower :)
My mom took some pics for us...kinda like a mini maternity photo shoot. :) So finally, here they are:The hands in a heart shape over the belly...so cheesy, we had to do it! haha!
Then we rallied up all the aunt and uncles-to-be to get a group shot...of course, it took awhile...
...but in the end, it turned out perfect! :)
Soon I should be posting my 36 week pictures...I can't believe I'm less than a month away from my due date! It keeps going by so quickly.
