she's here

little Hanna Nycole is here!

She came on October 3rd at 2:13 am...weighing in at 8 lbs 3.8 oz, and 20 1/2 inches long, she's gonna be tall just like her daddy..

and speaking of daddy...he's gone...Had to head back to Iraq, we will miss him terribly but we knew all of this when we began..

I'm off to rest just wanted to put up the good news and catch up on my reading :)

resting lots today,
Amanda

he's home!

well my love is home from Iraq, hence no posting. however now he is visiting family in Illinois for great grandma's 100th birthday. I didn't want him to go but how do you say no.

Little H is still waiting ha ha...we have an appointment and if she isn't her by Tuesday they are going to start looking at inducing. so..keep us in prayer!

Enjoy your weekend!

fall fall fall...

well guess who is in kuwait! My T! I am on cloud nine, more so for him now he can get a little relaxation and rest, he should be here late late late tomorrow or Mondayish. It's driving me crazy. We have a friend who is in from Iraq and staying with us too. They are probably going to miss each other but they actually get to see each other while they are in Iraq so it's ok.

Needless to say to keep myself busy...I've been making projects. Ha ha...I came up with this today for my little H. I absolutely love fall. Colors, leaves, cool weather, pumpkin pie, thanksgiving, sweaters...and I live in Texas..which means Fall doesn't work out too well for me. I would love to visit where T is from in Illinois more during fall. We went last September it was nice but this September we have our little h so no traveling here.

I also made a bear hat like I did for A but for a friend who is having a little girl. It's a little big but I made a lip on it so they could fold it up. I also put pink in the ears instead of the tan, so it looks more girlie girl. I'm going to see if I can make a Frog looking ones for the big brothers...gotta remember those little guys too. seems like their first one was just arriving now they will have three!! Time goes by so fast.

I'm thinking about maybe putting them on etsy but I don't know..maybe. Maybe after our little H comes. I would want to make sure I can commit to it ya know? I also finished this project a few nights ago for N for his 1st Birthday!

Well today is 39 weeks....next Saturday is our Due date..so hopeful we'll have a baby soon and a name reveal...

Have a Happy Saturday Blog World

cute hat

so while little a slept i made her this cute hat! I had seen it online but couldn't find a pattern so I thought....I could totally do that and I did! Was it perfect no but I did it..I just went for it and I have to say that I think it's way cute! Helps that she is a pretty adorable baby.

T's flight got moved. so upset. He should be home right now but there are no flights until sunday or after Monday. so i'm being patiently. I had a check up yesterday we are still the same, which works out to be ok because now we'll be closer to the date and T will have more time will our little h. : ) really can't wait until she comes.

well i have errands to run, movie to take back, last minute welcome home stuff : ) Hope the blog world has a great day!

Happy Friday

A

2 days!

2 days until T comes home. I am truly excited. He's helping with a different job so I haven't gotten a phone call or an email in a while....so I sent him an email..he told me I was psycho but he still loves me. ha ha. I guess I got a glimpse at those wives who aren't so fortunate to have their husbands call all the time. I am truly blessed.

11 days until H's due date. feels like forever. Today I feel really achey and my throat is sore. i don't like it one bit. luckily little baby a who I watch has been very kind to me. She slept in until about 8 and then went down for a morning nap at 10:30 ish. granted she didn't eat to much breakfast ..she wouldn't eat the applesauce but gulped down those peas. she is so cute. her mom had a rough morning. if you think about it breathe a prayer for her.

so i'm just resting...chillin. i should be probably packing and such but i have it done for the most part. i'm sure i'll forget something, i'll just send my sis or T to wal mart or home (we only live like 15 minutes from our hospital..how nice right???)

I'm really trying to keep up with this bloggie thing..off to watch tv and work on N blanket, it's almost ready to be put together, i'll put up photos later tonight!

Have a great day blog world!

smile!

Happy Friday! How could you not smile when you get to spend all day with this sweet smile :) of course taken right after a nap...he he he..

Doc appointment went good, all the same no changes which is ok with me because T comes home in 6 days...woohoo. I miss my love. I toured Labor and Delivery, feeling really positive about it, keeping my head of up and being optimistic.

Welp it's late so I'm gonna head in..watching old survivor episodes in honor of the new one coming on..I love that show!!

sweet dreams

different types of yarn

so recently i think i have found myself in a rut, I am loving my little baby blankets but wanting to venture out and try something new...so I bought a book. I know brilliant. I try. lol anyways..turns out I'm not the greatest at reading the patterns! but i did try to work on this market bag for about an hour, I'll definitely come back to it until then, i figure, keep working in basic stitches and the new skill i just learned and if I can't figure out the pattern maybe there is a class or a video online for the crochet challenged. But either way I have decided not to give up!

I did buy a different type of yarn, I'm such a newbie! My sister and I were talking about this blanket my mom has as her house that was like a staple of winter cozy up blankets when we were kids...you know the one you all fight over but it's more than big enough to cover all of you! She was saying how she never liked the feel of it...so I threw one of the granny squares I was making that is in a cotton yarn but not in an acrylic, she said...oh..that's nice. I want a blanket out of that one...ha ha..so I'm learning.

Not too much going on here at the mcwescotts....watching little baby a waiting on our own to get here. seems like every other pregnant woman i know is going into labor early or they are dilated and here I sit all almost 38 weeks preggo. ha ha...but T comes home in 7 days so I can wait...just trying not to be jealous...he he he...

I took some cute photos of little miss a but my camera is in the other room and shes down for a nap, I'll have to post them later... i'm trying to be good and rest when she rest...

Have a most wonderful day!
