The past month has been busy, with lots of me staring at this adorable little lady:
Seriously, the many faces of a newborn could entertain me for hours. Eden was born on March 5th, and we couldn't imagine life without her. Liam is adjusting pretty well to having to share his parents, and loves to give Eden lots of kisses and hugs, as well as the occasional smack. Every morning I look at my two babies and feel so incredibly blessed.
The months before Eden was born I got to work on making and updating a few things. One of them being this bassinet we had:
Purchased off of Craigslist, I never was a big fan of all the frills. We bought it for Liam, so the frills were especially not very fitting. My sewing skills were virtually non-existent at that point, but I still tried to make a new cover for it. It did the job, but over time my sewing got a little more, well intermediate, so I made a new cover for the bassinet again. Also, a good friend painted it for me to make it look like this:
I feel a lot happier having this in my family room than the original! We have another bassinet that two of my sisters used for their babies in our bedroom, so this one is acting protection for Eden when I have to put her down and Liam is wanting to poke at her. Hopefully we will get lots more use out of it before Eden gets too big for it! The newborn stage goes by way to fast, especially the second time around.
