In case there was any question, I’m still pregnant. I know I’m just over 37 weeks, but I’m surprised this baby is still in my body. In general, I’m getting cranky and I easily lose my patience — not at Baby, but possibly because I’m exhausted from carrying her around and it takes like insurmountable effort to put pants on or clip my toenails or whatever. I should also mention that at our last doctor’s appointment on Friday, the ultrasound tech said she was measuring at about 8 pounds and she was “getting ready.” I’m not dilated yet, so I’m going to try to go for a walk this this morning. Huz and I are SO READY to get this ball rolling and meet our new addition already.
Aside from that, it’s been a good week for projects. Most of my loose ends have been tied up at work and I’m just kind of waiting around for this birth to happen. We’re also in surprisingly good shape with the baby stuff. It might not all be put away, but we at least have the essentials should she decide to come this week. I’m incredibly lucky to have such supportive friends; thanks to them we have our car seat (thanks Nicola!), a breast pump (thanks Malyn!), and lots of adorable clothes (thanks everybody else!). All stuff I was reluctant to buy because we had them back on the east coast, but apparently none of them came with the move.
I’m attempting to stay on top of the chores, but it’s been hard. Huz has been really great about cooking and cleaning up for us, even moreso than he usually is (I know, I’m a lucky girl). I did manage to get some of the laundry done this weekend but I have little hope of actually getting it folded.
In other project news, finally got the Silhouette Cameo I pre-ordered at the beginning of the month, as well as a Xyron sticker machine. I haven’t done much with them yet but they work together beautifully, especially with intricate text cut out from the Silhouette which I’d imagine is a pain in the ass to try to glue. I’m excited to do more with it and incorporate it into my Project Life layouts.
Also, as I mentioned yesterday, Craftsy has been my new favorite thing. I know this is going to make me sound like such a basic bitch, but I’ve been trying to teach myself to knit on and off since 2003 and, no joke, this is the first time in almost 9 years I’ve been able to knit something straight. Don’t laugh.
I couldn’t help myself, so I signed up for the Crochet Lab and Sewing Studio too. I don’t know when I’ll be able to get to those, but I think I’ll probably be able to at least start Crochet Lab while I’m on maternity leave.
So, Baby, come soon!
