Almost 1 month

I hate that I never get a chance to blog anymore. It makes me sad, but that's life. Dixie Jean is doing great and I can't believe she will be a month next week. I am loving being a
mommy and Evan is a GREAT daddy as I knew he would be. He calls her "sweetheart" all the time. It was definately an adjustment at first and some days still are, but it is AWESOME! I really can't picture our life without our sweet caterpillar. Yes, that is the nickname I have given her. Evan calls her capitellar...and sometimes I steal it. Don't ask why we call her that..it just came out and stuck.

We are slowly trying to take her out in public and get a bit of normalcy back. We walk her on the lakefront, she will go to Target for the 1st time today and we are excited to take her to church this week. She is getting big already and as much as I am ready for her to do things like sleep through the night.....I love snuggling her and don't ever want her to grow up.

Introducing Dixie

Welcome to our beautiful daughter, Dixie Jean McGinty. 7 lbs 3 oz and 21  in long. 

Frilly Millie Apron

Check out Apple Pie for my most recent apron!

Child of the 80's

I had to show off my most recent sewing project. I would love to start selling these through Apple Pie, but these are for me to keep as it was experimental to start. I had a couple of vintage t-shirts that I have grown out of but did not want to get rid of. I decided to start making pillowcase dresses from vintage T's. If anyone has any they don't want anymore...forget Goodwill..send them my way. Look how cute these turned out:

Hello due date.....but not hello baby!

So here we are....the due date is here...AND NO BABY!!!!!!!!!! Went to the doc today and I am not dilated or thinned out at all. So it looks like I will be induced Monday morning if labor does not happen on its own.  Praying for my body to kick into gear and this baby to get into position to get ready. I have mentally prepared myself for a section, as it seems it might result in that, but we will wait and see. We are so anxious!!!! Come on little McGinty!!!!

Party Like a Rock Star

Last night we celebrated our dear friend Krista's birthday with a Guitar Hero party. Everyone came dressed like a rockstar. I love themed parties, especially when they involve costumes. When else can you wear red streaks in your hair, black nail polish and bright red lipstick (ok so I guess anytime....but I wouldn't). Evan looked awesome as he sported a lip and nose ring, black eyeliner and the nail polish as well. He played the part a little too well. We had fun! Here are a couple of pictures. If you want to see them all check out my facebook page. Rock on!

Girl Dreams and Cotton Candy toes

Had a wonderful baby dream last night. It was a girl! That is the 2nd girl dream I have had in the past few weeks. It was wonderful....made me so anxious for the baby to get here. Looking at the votes to the left..not many of you think it is a girl :) That's ok...I don't either really, but the dream was GREAT!

 I have a doctor's appointment today, although I am sure not that much has changed. I am actually feeling less pressure than I was a few weeks ago. Only 17 days left and I have a feeling I will make it there. Overall I am feeling great. I get really worn out really fast, and can't get comfortable when I sleep, but other than that, I'm good. 

I think we have everything as ready as we can get it before the baby gets here. It is killing me that I can't decorate the "nook" until we know the sex. I went ahead and bought some stuff for a boy and some stuff for a girl. At least it will be ready to go when they arrive. It gave me some sense of peace. I will just return what I don't use.

 Last night Evan painted my toenails like a good husband, since I can't reach or see my feet:) I have to have them ready for labor right? We did pink and blue (every other toe) as we do not want to be partial to one or the other. It is a little tacky, but fun! However, it makes me want cotton candy. I asked Evan if it did that for him and he looked at me like I was crazy. It must be a pregnant thing.

Well, that's all for now. If there is a doctor update, I'll post again soon.
