Socks for Baby

My first knitted socks from the Jelly-Bean pattern. I think they turned out really cute, and can't wait to put them on Baby-Schermie... or course I can hardly wait for the little one at all!


My last day of work was today... it's all about baby for the next 3-4 months. Then we'll see what life has in store for the family. My goodness how things can be turned upside down in 1 hour.

Which brings me back to GARDENING... All the work I did last year to take out the rocks and put in mulch and pretty perenials was a wasted effort because the chickens enjoy the dirt baths and not so much the mulch. So they push all the mulch out into the grass, which means daily raking. So my answer to this is raised flower bed with a little fence around it. Planning on pulling the cedar bushes, I am allergic to them anyhow... and any other brush then moving some rail road ties into place this week. I'll slowly add rock and dirt, until I can find a little fence that isn't to spendy and will keep the chickens from sitting on top (so some little spikes would be nice). Then back to the planting!

Friday fun...

I reassembled the baby mobile and added Wendel the book worm to balance the Saturn and butterfly... I love it now.

We're having fun watching the Penelope singing "Here Coming Peter Cotton Tail"





Gerry & Pops have been working on a master bedroom closet... should be done tomorrow.

Posting for mom


This will probably be the ONLY time I expose my belly.
I am now 32 weeks along, and I didn't realize how huge I was until I passed a full length mirror Thrusday. It honestly occurred over night, or at most in the last 3-5 days!
The baby's heart rate is 133 bpm and on Tuesday his head was down I feel little fingers move low at the bottom of my tummy.
I am pretty swollen all over, but surprizingly I've only gained 10 lbs. So either 10 lbs of pure baby (blood, ambiotic fluid, etc...) or I've lost weight baby/pregnancy weight is higher.
As distrubing the baby movements are it is very comforting at the same time to know that all things are going well inside me. A true miracle.
Now just to pick names.
