Fast Projects!

By On 29 Nov ’08

I’m onto really short projects now as far as the yarn addiction goes.  Things that I can finish in a few hours, you know, in case we all of a sudden find ourselves holding a brand new human.   Tonight’s project: a BELT!  for ME!  Yep, I guess you could say I’m looking forward to [...]

miss-miss lights…

By On 29 Nov ’08

James sometimes sinks into the world of a 21 month old’s vocabulary.  Today was such a day… Despite his knowing full well that it’s “Christmas” — he says miss-miss because that is what Lowell can say.

We put the fake tree up today because the glee from James was too much to not to.  Our [...]

38.5 weeks

By On 26 Nov ’08

110/70, no weight gain, no internal check… just waiting…

… still waiting …

Just wanted to hop on to add that the fundal measurement was shorter, so the baby has officially dropped and boy can I ever feel it.  Golly-bob-howdy!  Next appointment (39.5 weeks) is next Wednesday, same time, same place, same midwife and she [...]

We’ve reached our Milk Date

By On 25 Nov ’08

Huh?

I know, I had that reaction, too.  David informed me that a milk date is the date on the milk carton, and that our due date is on the newest milk jug so we know we’re getting close.

Butt Paste and a Timer

By On 24 Nov ’08

I made a trip to BRU the other day (thanks, mom!) and picked up an Itzbeen and a tub of Boudreaux (we definitely prefer the tub as you can scrape every last bit out of that puppy).  We need the Boudreaux’s Butt Paste because Lowell’s 2 year molars are starting to come [...]

It is what it is

38 weeks

I hear all the time how “small” I am but everything is relative, itsn’t it? I’m up to my all-time highest weight so I know I’m not “small” by comparison to the two previous pregnancies I’ve had.  Regardless of “big” or “small” I’m ready to be [...]

In anticipation

By On 23 Nov ’08

The bags are packed, the batteries are charging, the memory card… well, it will be in one of the two DSLRs (we may yet get out and pick up bought another 2 gig cf card so both DSLRs are primed and ready to shoot – yipee!) all with [...]

We’re almost ready. Almost.

By On 21 Nov ’08

David aired up the tires and filled up the gas tank in the blue car there on the right. We’re hoping to be able to take that car to the birthing center and leave the van with the boys’ car seats for the grandparents to bring James and Lowell to the birthing center to visit [...]

hats hats hats

By On 20 Nov ’08

So I’ve been making hats. “Lots-m-lots-m hats! Mommy!” I figure the longer I stay pregnant, the more hats this baby girl or baby boy will have. And the more of the other color ones I will get to send to new mommies. Here are the pink ones… I might not have a chance [...]

I'm in love…

By On 20 Nov ’08

James, as we’re driving away from the birthing center (that’s the front door to it you can see from his window). I would like to note that every time I buckle him in, I put the oval shaped thingy even with his armpits and he wiggles it down to his belly as soon as I [...]

No news is good news, I guess.

By On 19 Nov ’08

Sixteen days until our due date. I gained almost 4 pounds in one week. Hoo-rah. No internal check because the midwife was running 30+ minutes behind and in a hurry. She said she’d guess that we’re 100% effaced and 2-3 cm dilated but there’s no telling until she checks but then she never got around [...]
