Nothing but news

Feeling pretty busy these days.

I am running the Attachment Parenting Group in town, witch only has meetings once a month, but it still takes hours and sometimes days to prepare for the meeting topics. I have two moms who are going to take over for the months of August and September so that I don't have to fret while having a newborn, so that is a relief. I have organized playgroups for every Friday morning for anyone who wants to come, which I am proud of and am happy to do, but still requires a little brain power which is something I run in short supply of some days, lol.

Fathers day is right around the corner, as is Patrick's birthday. I still have yet to actually actively plan his party,lol, I am such a slacker.

I hit 30 weeks today and can not believe how close "The Birth Day" is coming. I feel like I slept

through the whole thing, it has just flown by, and I so thought it was going to at least seem to last forever. It has not, now I am running around trying to make sure we are ready. Are we ready? Mostly. I have to order my birth kit still, but I still have some time. Patrick was 10 days late, so I can not wait to see when this little one decides to join us, that in it's self is exciting enough. I find myself having fluctuations of excitement knowing that it is getting so close, that actually having the baby will be my first time, (seeing how Patrick was a c-section and I never was allowed to go into actual labor), and more than anything, we have no clue what the sex of the baby is, and that to me is the most exciting, anticipating thing about it all. I imagine that I will cost through the whole delivery on a high of adrenaline, as I tend to do in many situations.

I have still been sewing, and having fun doing so.

I finally got the baby's bed ready, don't know if the baby will actually sleep there but we will see. We received our co-sleeping bassinet courtesy of my grandparents, and it was just to plain. So I made a cover for the pad on it, as well as a mobile to hang over it when it is not next to the bed. I still have a few projects in my head that I want to do, and I bought myself some new sewing books with my birthday money, lol. I made an Amy Butler bag that is huge, but cute.

I have also been nesting. With Patrick I was a freak nesting, scrubbing base boards with a toothbrush at 9 months pregnant, even though he would not be crawling for some time. I have been experiencing similar instincts lately and spent the day yesterday cleaning the outside of my refrigerator and trash can, dusting corners and sweeping, mopping, you name it.

Anyway, just kind of an update on whats going on here and with me. I got a new recliner from a friend that has come in really handy for my swelling feet, and have already found myself in it often. Loving it.
