staying busy (kind of).

the full moon was ineffective.  but i am ok with that.  i think i am just going to focus on relaxing and knowing that nibs will be here sooner than i can imagine, and the longer s/he stays in there, the bigger and healthier s/he will be.  theoretically.  i am pretty sure i can maintain this attitude until my due date.  my friend a is now 8 days past her due date, so i am seeing first hand how arduous that can be, and just hoping nibs behaves and shows up at a reasonable time.  but really, whenever s/he's ready.  

this weekend, jb and i were both under the weather a little bit.  we woke up on friday with sore throats and congestion (jb blames the flu shot he got - his first ever - but i think he's full of it).  my co-workers threw a shower at work that was super sweet on friday afternoon, so when we got home we put the new stuff away and decided to just lay low.  i ordered take-out eggplant parmesan, having read that it's a helpful dish for moving things along.  apparently not the case for me at this juncture....

saturday we did a few things but didn't go buck wild as i don't have the energy right now to be too hyper-productive.  i did manage to sew a crib skirt for the nursery.  it was a project i sort of had on the back burner because i wasn't sure if i'd have time for an undertaking like that.  but i figured since i wasn't in labour, i might as well get something done.  i think it turned out pretty cute!  it matches the drapes and i think it's a nice color accent and "finishes" the look of the crib a little bit.  

the pattern came out of the amy butler sewing book amy gave me, and i'm using some of the leftover fabric to try my hand at a pair of booties.  i'll post a pic if they turn out ok...i made the first one inside out last night, so it's a little bit of a learning process (never really made anything from a pattern before).  

sunday we had some bbq at m&k's and watched the saints lose (booooo).  straightened up the house a little.  went to the dog park.  i am now working with about an hour or two of sleep and about to head to this week's dr's appt.  hopefully there will be something more exciting to report on soon....
