The pint is a respectable serving size, right? We have a cabinet full of pint glasses in the kitchen; I drink water by the pint all the time. I'm finding that now that the baby has dropped so low, I can eat like you would not believe. And I'm REALLY hungry. Blackberries? Yeah, I ate a pint today and one yesterday. Ice Cream? I eat that by the pint too, and usually in one sitting. There's nothing wrong with that, right?
In addition to the extra large servings blackberries and ice cream, I was able to handle a couple of cravings this weekend. I stopped at our local donut place on my way home from the woodyard with wood for the smoker yesterday. I've definitely had my fill of sugar coated fried bread for a while. My brother-in-law and his wife stopped by tonight with their 2 month old. They came bearing a chocolate cake with butter cream frosting! I ate way more cake than I should have, but it really hit the spot.
I did manage a pint size amount of work in my studio today. Hubby and I are working on collaborative artworks for a show in June. I'm WAY behind schedule. Now that we're 38 weeks along, I figure I can get a little work done before we have the baby. We're not ready to disclose much about the work, but each piece will involve work from both of us. We will be showing the work for First Friday in June. Stay tuned for more information about the show.
While I'm at it, I'm looking to borrow a dress form to display a garment for the show. If you're in the KC area, or know someone in the KC area, with one you'd be willing to lend, please leave a comment. Thanks!
And nope, no baby yet. I figured from the title some of you might have the wrong idea. We're getting a little bit nervous at our house. We heard a story from some friends at church this morning about the birth of their second son IN THEIR CAR! Her labor was only 40 minutes long! Their first son was a 3 or 4 hour labor just like the toddler was for us, and she found herself walking around for a few weeks at 3 cm. Conversation at our house today centered around how to decide when to head for the hospital and when to just stay put. Isn't it better to have the baby at home than on the side of the road?
Hopefully our next little pint will make his or her entry soon. Until then, I'm going to get as much work done for the show as I can in between propping my feet up to relieve the swelling.
Hey, Jennifer --
Just reading your request for a dress form... I have two dress forms. They're about a size 8, I believe, and are older (Vintage) with cast iron bases. Let me know if you're interested.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy AND with the show.
Well, I suppose there's nothing wrong with having some extra time to finish the blanket....as long as ice cream is available most things are bearable!
