sunday seven

1.  welcome baby Finn!!!  erin went to the hospital late wednesday night and Finn made his debut into the world shortly after 3am Thursday morning.  needless to say, no one in my family (or mike's family) slept that night.  we were getting text updates all night.  i loved it.  Finn has brought so much joy to our family and it is so wonderful to have my mom here to help erin and mike out, especially erin, as she is a new mom.  can't wait for that experience soon!  finn has made us *that* much more excited for our baby girl to arrive in a few weeks!!!

2.  erin and i have been pregnant together this whole time, me being just 4 weeks behind her.  finn came almost 2 weeks early...hopefully baby girl does too!  i feel like i should have our baby soon too, and erin feels bad for me that i am still pregnant!  it's okay--we want a healthy baby!

3.  steven's mom and sister came up this weekend.  they were doing girl stuff with some friends all day yesterday, so i didn't even see them.  we had a great easter together today and will have some time to spend together tomorrow.  so great having family in town!!  andi keeps us on our toes!!

4.  i forgot to bring my headphones to the gym yesterday.  wah wah.  i was just walking on the treadmill before yoga {no more running allowed for me}, so i watched some of barclay's premier league soccer.  forgetting to bring headphones to the gym is never good though, unless you are with someone.

no baby in there...yet!

5.  i've been sewing like crazy this week, really since last saturday.  and really, it's when i get a chance.  i added hooded towel to my repertoire and made a carseat cover and burp cloths for katie that i gave to her at her shower up here yesterday.  but!! i'm hung up on those little baby mittens so she won't scratch her face!  the elastic thread was a new try for me and i was having trouble getting it to work right.  and then i was super frustrated so i decided to just leave it and go with the elastic.  but then my bobbin was acting all crazy and then i got even more frustrated soooo, we are leaving those alone for awhile.  also, katie {well, her husband and her mom, too} brought up a ton of baby things for erin and i.  we now have a swing and carseat--that's comforting!

6.  i pretty much just go through my "finn" album on my phone all the time.  i'm sure it will only get worse when baby girl is born and then i am going through the "finn" album and our baby's album and the "finn and ___" album {because, erin and i are already planning our mommy play dates together--we'll be in dallas before we know it!}.

7.  umm, my spring break starts tomorrow!  actually, it kind of started at lunch time on thursday for me since i had to leave early for a doctor appointment and then i took friday off, soooooo i get an extra long break.  but so needed!  i think i've been overdoing it just a wee bit.  or a lot.  and my spring break will be spent making sub plans, holding finn, making subplans playing with natalie and hailey, making sub plans, and
