boppy-ish

Sewed a cover for a cheap-o pillow from Jo-Ann's. Crafty, ain't I??

my husband's nose

Now, I understand that ultrasound pictures can be pretty blobby looking to people when it's not their baby they are looking at... But I truly think that the profile in the first of these pictures looks an awful lot like Eric. You can't see the baby's mouth because it is holding it's arm up, but that forehead and nose... Yikes!
And the second is a yawn. Must be pretty boring in there... The tech caught 2 yawns in a couple of minutes. Crazy to think about what the baby is up to. Blinking, yawning, turning into my husband...

will the baby have enough blankets??

The answer is yes.

doin' some stuff...

I don't think it's nesting... Not yet, but I have been surprisingly motivated lately. I am all of the sudden feeling the need to organize and finish painting this house! When we moved in we (I) painted the master bedroom, office (baby's room), one bathroom, kitchen and downstairs rec. (Eric's) room. But there is still another bathroom, bedroom and the main hallways left to do. So this week I am finally picking paint for the bedroom and halls, and finishing a few paint things in the kitchen. Not to mention working on various baby projects and getting on my husband's case about organizing!
And have I mentioned Bucky? He lives downstairs in the spare bedroom... and he's finally going away!! I'm not sure how many coats of primer it will take (I'm up to 4 so far), but he's on his way out! I promise to put something cool up in his place, but patience please, patience.Ooooh... And I picked up some chalkboard paint at Home Depot too. Fun stuff in store!

Ultrasound!

Look! It's a baby in there!

That's just a couple of pics, I have more here... The little stinker had his/her hands in front of his/her face the entire ultrasound. Cute, but frustrating to the poor tech. She kept wiggling the probe to make him/her move, but no luck. Everything looks good though, and I volunteered to go back in a couple weeks to be a victim for a fetal heart ultrasound training. And they promised more 4D pictures so that's cool. I don't think it will get old looking at that cute face, no matter how grainy/goofy it looks!

baby blanket again

Just another little crocheted blanket. This one is literally little though. It will probably work for a
carseat blanket, but not much else! Cute though...

I can still see you!

But probably not for long...

This week I have really started to feel pregnant. There has been an invasion in my belly. I went to the midwife Monday and asked her to show me where my uterus was. And it was just below my belly-button. Crazy. This whole time I was in denial thinking there was nothing much going on in there. And apparently there most certainly is. I got to hear the heartbeat again too. Such a nice reassuring sound. We also get to schedule the ultrasound for a couple of weeks from now. Maybe not quite as exciting for everyone else- we're not finding out the sex... But fun for us to see the little peanut.
I have been busy procrastinating on wedding Thank-You's, crocheting a baby blanket, putting my feet up, and spending lots of time on the interweb looking at baby stuff. LOTS of time. But at least that involves putting my feet up! More on baby blankets and such soon...

gee, it's been awhile

But I have a good excuse...

Actually a great excuse! Yes, I'm preggo. Due November 21st...

We thought we would start trying, thinking it would take a few months, maybe happen around the wedding. Or immediately! Apparently we are majorly fertile! But we're very excited. And nauseous (well, just me). So look forward to nothing but baby/kiddo posts for the next, oh I don't know- 18 years or so...
