drapes and updates.

i need to post some pics from our fun weekend last weekend, but jb wants to edit some of them and play around a bit, so those will be forthcoming.  we were in san antonio for b&e's wedding weekend and it was a total blast.  the wedding was small and intimate, and we were super honored to be included in the celebration.  i love going to weddings when you can just see and feel all the love between the couple and everyone in their lives.  it was my first time meeting e, and she's one of the most precious people i've ever met.  i just know she's the perfect person for b and it's so rad to witness something like that.  here's one pic of mom and amelia - she was the flower girl and was SO well-behaved the whole weekend.  she really is one of the cutest little munchkins ever.

anyway...we got back to austin late saturday night and have spent this week busy busy.  i got one of the drapes that i'm sewing for nibs' room done, and we hung that up, so i'll hopefully finish #2 by the end of the weekend and then decide if i'm going to attempt the bumper and dust ruffle.  the crib is all set up, so the room is pretty much ready for a new inhabitant.  none of the pets know what to think about any of it, except maybe etta who is pretty sure she wants to chew on all the new, small, delightful-smelling items.  we keep the nursery room doors closed most of the time.....

this morning was our 33 week appointment, and everything is still looking great, yay!  nibs is still head down, but is rolling back and forth with his/her back to my belly button.  this makes me feel like i have a weird melon rolling around in there since the baby's feet are basically towards my spine and i'm feeling fewer kicks than rolls.  his/her butt is also all up in my rib cage (the blessings of a ridiculously short torso, i guess), which is....interesting.  i can't really call it painful since i love feeling all the movement so much, but i do have to stand up and stretch out every so often when s/he gets a little too buck wild in there.  other stats: heart beat was 152 this morning; still measuring exact at 33 weeks; still no swelling or high blood pressure, so all good news.

this weekend we have a newborn care class and a tour of the hospital and in non-baby activities, i'm sure there will be extensive football watching and hopefully some yard work.  we're consistently in the lower 90s now, so i think this *may* be a sign that we will have a fall at some point.  maybe i'll pull out the halloween decorations to encourage the weather's cooperation.

roll-up shade i made - keeps light out pretty well and gives the room a warm orange-y glow

my belly = officially gigantic.  also, i look so domestic in this picture....
