We had our first baby shower yesterday. Wow. I know practically nobody who was there reads this site, but let me just say “THANK YOU” anyway, because we are now able to get the baby home from the hospital (in a carseat, no less!), dress her in some very cute clothes, stroll her around the [...]
Yeah, boring title, I know. I’m being a total blog slacker lately! I don’t really have that much to blog about – my days are shaping up to be all about the same. I pretty much spend my time watching TV or movies, crafting, eating, or napping. It’s not that exciting. Oh, wait, today I [...]
Or, why Sarah is no longer allowed to go to garage sales… My Grandmother has been looking for a high chair, now that she has two great-grandchildren and a third on the way. She really wants a wooden one, but they are anything but cheap. So, we’ve all been on an unofficial mission to check [...]
I finally got the pictures off my camera! The first thing I did this week was finish an autumn throw that’s been sitting in a basket in my craft room for two years. (I think.) Thankfully, I got Denis to examine it for any creepy crawlies, because there was a thick web-like cocoon on it [...]
At my appointment yesterday, the doctor said I get to stay on modified bedrest for the duration. 6 more weeks…give or take. You would think that since I’m home all day, blogging would be more regular, not less! I’m too busy sitting with my feet up to blog, though, really… (Actually, I’ve just been too [...]
I haven’t gone stir crazy yet, but only because it’s the weekend, and Denis has been home to keep me company. Plus, there’s been lots of football on to watch. I’m not looking forward to tomorrow, or Tuesday. I have no idea what to expect at my appointment on Wednesday. I guess if my blood [...]
I know I shouldn’t complain, because things could be much worse, but my trip to the doctor this morning about those stiff hands I mentioned yesterday? It resulted in me ending up on modified bedrest at least until my appointment next Wednesday. My blood pressure was way elevated just from my appointment 10 days ago, [...]
Yay! Football! Real football! Right now! (Sorry, had to get that out of my system.) I’ve made really good progress (finally) on the orange cabled hoodie. The hood took forever, mainly because it was slightly boring, but also because my hands have been really stiff and swollen (pregnancy-related, apparently) and knitting hasn’t been all that [...]
Not that I really want to get into politics here, but I really think that this is rather amusing. (Go here to see a Quicktime movie of it.) If I were one of his speech writers, I think I’d cringe every time he walked up to a mic. (And am I the only woman who’s [...]
Wait, we had a three-day weekend? Where did it go?!? I had grand plans to have the nursery painted by the end of those three long days. We have one coat of primer on all the walls. And getting there was like pulling teeth. I don’t know why it should surprise me that painting is [...]
