Baby Blob

A bit delayed in posting but we had our first appointment last week. It was the typical appointment, medical history, exam, questions, bloodwork and we got a surprise ultrasound.

I wasn't expecting an ultrasound but since I had an ectopic pregnancy previously he wanted to make sure everything was where it should be. Baby blob measured right on track, 9w3d and s/he's heart rate was 174.

B isn't really sure what to think of the pictures but has already told Papa it was a puppy and Grandma it was a Kitty. Haha

Will do a 10 week post later today!

9 Weeks

• This is a milestone. She's no longer an embryo -- now she's a fetus!
• She's developing more distinct facial features.
• And she might now have a strong enough heartbeat to be picked up by a fetal doppler.

Yarn Wrapped Bottles

These things are all over Pinterest. I love them and have tried a few different times to make them but keeping having problems.

First try....started at the bottom and it worked good until I got to the neck of the bottle. Could clearly see the glue.

Second try....started at the top. this worked great until I got to the very bottom were the bottle starts to round back under. Took too much glue and it got all bumpy looking.

Third try....tried using a combination of hot glue and double sided tape. The top wasn't sturdy enough to hold the yarn.

I really wanna know how everyone is able to make their bottles look so good. Any suggestions?
