And Waiting!!

Yep that's right still here! I know that my ticker says 2 days to go, but I have to explain why I feel like I should have had this baby by now. You see with all three of my previous pregnancies I have either had my water break or gone into labor on the due date I was given at my 20 week ultrasound. And all three were born early the following morning. Yeah I know it is not very common. So when I was given a due date of Sept 28th this time I figured today would have been the day, but so far it looks highly unlikely considering I only have about 7 hours to meet the deadline! I can only assume that the reasoning of this baby is that it doesn't want to share it's birthday with a Grandma and and Uncle. Sorry you two! My other thoughts are that this hasn't been a typical pregnancy for me either. I am quite small for this being #4. At my last visit I was measuring 33 inches at 38 weeks. Which should be the same and has always been with the prior ones. Plus I don't seem to be gaining weight! I know I shouldn't really complain about that part but what else could possibly be holding this up? So today I finally decided that the baby didn't think we were quite ready, so I put up the crib in our room, washed the bedding and made it up. I found this set for quite a steal I think and I love it!



I decided to pull out the camera and take some pictures including proof of this!



And here are a couple of projects I have made to get ready for baby. Where oh where were these when I had my first baby, that is what I would like to know. I know I only need 1 technically, but I figured that having a back up when one is dirty would be worth it.




I got the tutorial from here. I also made a crochet edge blanket which is tradition for me, plus some burp cloths out of cloth diapers. Sorry no pictures of those, maybe another day!

Well I am off the stove is calling my name, time to make dinner for the rug rats!

Cute toes! Yep, that is an accomplishment. And I love your nursing covers, I really wish those had been around when I'd had my babies too. Well, I'll be thinking about you lots, and looking forward to hearing some news!

Now that the crib is up, that baby is bound to come.:) The bedding is cute, and think how long that would have taken to make. Good luck and keep us posted with the new arrival.
