I was thinking about doing some kind of stencil like this but with a soft yellow- what do you all think?

The last few weeks have been interesting/exciting/stressfull.  Let me expand....Travis went TDY right after conference and so we were dealing with that..then..the day after Easter my dad had an angeogram that showed major blockages to his heart.  He had 6 blockages, and so the next day he was scheaduled for bypass surgery.  On that same day I found out we were expecting a girl (we are super excited).  I also found out that she has a small problem with the umbilical cord.  So I will be getting lots of ultrasounds and hopefully everything will be fine. I decided I am not going to research it on the internet, it will only make me worry and I don't need that!   Wednesday I drove out to Utah, thank goodness my little sister Marette was visiting me and was able to make the drive with me so we could be with my dad.  I spent 2 weeks at home with my dad and tried to help out the best I could but there isn't much one can do to make major heart surgery heal faster or make the pain go away.  It has been such a blessing to live closer to home so I can be there when emergencies like this one happen.  It has been really hard not having Travis home to help cope with this stress but hopefully in 2 short weeks he will be home with us again.  I am so grateful for modern medicine and new leases on life.  The surgeon said he had a large chance of dying within the year if he would have just kept going on not knowing. 

So now that I know for sure it is a girl I can start planning for her!  So fun.  I started her quilt today and I can't wait until it is all done.  I have chosen Central Park by Kate Spain.  It is bright and cheery and it makes me smile.  I hope she will like it too.
