What I Did At School Today

Nope. Not Yet.

April 24, 2008

My feet are so swollen that my toes look like stuffed sausages. The only comfortable position is with my feet propped up. My back finally started hurting when I stand for more than a few minutes, especially when it involves being in front of the sink. Oh, and I'm having trouble reaching the faucet. And then there's the indigestion. All of this resulted in only 4 hours of sleep last night. I think I'll get more than that when we have a newborn! Ok, I'm finished complaining now.

The baby is not here yet. And we're ready; we're all ready. Tonight the toddler spontaneously said, "Baby love". It's his equivalent of saying "I love baby". We're thrilled that he volunteered love for his unborn sibling.

I'm guessing that I'll be posting sans photos for a bit. It's just too hard to get pictures taken when my feet are killing me so much. And to make matters worse, I actually have things to take pictures of. My knitting group had a yarn swap last night. My VERY generous knitting group. I came home with more than twice as much yarn as I left with and two books that I've had on my wish list for a while. Now I'm really ready to finish the Hoover Blanket so I can move on to something else. I have a ton of yarn and ideas!

I also have the best hubby in the world. Turns out that they don't have Chocolate Lasagna at the Olive Garden anymore; so I'm still craving chocolate cake with butter cream frosting. Hubby spent a significant amount of time trying to track down just the right cake Monday afternoon. He ended up making me brownies with ice cream. (We'd seen some brownies on Food Network the day before that set me off craving that as well...) He picked up the house and vacuumed yesterday too. I'm feeling pretty special!

Now, if we could just have the baby.

If we end up at the hospital tonight, we will have to archive this prophetic post to show the kiddo when he/she is older.

Shoulda sent you home with the rest of the brownies....

I feel like a cheerleader: "C'mon baby, don't be slow, c'mon baby, here we go!"

Yeesh.

I've been enjoying petting my new yarn as well, and wishing for long, lazy, uninterrupted days of knitting.....a woman can dream....
