On a couple of different fronts. I put this little guy together today from this tutorial. Couldn’t be simpler. But now I have the idea of using it the reverse way so Chase can swaddle her baby like mommy. This is going to be part of her big sister gift along with the baby doll with closing eyes that she previously requested. My goal is one more blanket (which I’ve already cut) and two more diapers. I think I can do it.
We’ve also made progress with Christmas and her birthday. I set up an Amazon wishlist so at least I’d have something to reference. Ben keeps complaining about my choices but not making any suggestions of his own. I told him what the deal is. I’m going to do some shopping a little later this week and take advantage of one of these last days while Chase is in school.
Speaking of school, today was Chase’s first day in the drop off program at Hoppin Tots. I can only assume that all the carrying on about I want to go back to gym means that she had a good time. She also came home having mastered hopping on one foot which is something that she’s been working on for a long time.
While she was there I visited A Fabric Place. This time I was allowed to peek into the back room. I came home with 10 yards of THE sweetest cotton print because I’m insane going to make curtains for Chase’s new room. Really though, the cutest. I’ll be happy even if it means just embellishing some simple white panels. Being in the fabric store did inspire me to sew a little though and that counts for something for sure.
I’m progressing as well. My doctor did admonish me however to take it easy and rest. My blood pressure is still high when I’m on my feet and regulates almost immediately when I lie down. So that’s what I’m supposed to do. I’m 1cm but she didn’t seem worried that I wouldn’t make it until Tuesday. We’ll see :)
What? You’ve actually been “in the back”? I’ve been hearing about “the back” of stores for a while. I just assumed the sales clerks go out back and smoke cigarettes just to come back up front to tell me that they’re out of what ever I ask about.
Also, no baby delivery during finals! You can give birth anytime after 2pm on Thursday. Well after like 4pm for sure.
Wow, no restrictions from me like Danielle’s! I will push as your friend – stop, breathe, lay down and enjoy some final peace and quiet.
Okay, maybe one request. If you can hold off until Wednesday then Anny and I will share our birthday with your bundle of joy!
Relax now in a little while you will have your hands full and wishing for the rest. Put your feet up and relax.
that blanket is so cute! damn you for being so creative and productive!! :) one of these days I’ll get back on that train…
and i’m going to be the fourth person to say…TAKE IT EASY! rest and relax…not much more of that in your future, so do it while you still can! i think the golden girls must be on tv and they are calling your name :)
Very cute!
You are utterly unbelievable! I don’t know how you do it!
