Out wandering...

We've been out wandering around the last few days between doctor appointments. The good doctor did a stress test on the baby on Wednesday. Baby is great, healthy, etc... doctor is now at a conference in Brainard.

So we went to the lake cabin with the dogs and threw sticks into the lake for a few dog laps. It was relaxing for all of us, and nice break from the house.


Gerry has been keeping our kitchen table fresh with lilacs the last several days since they've been in bloom. Nice to smell the flowers when sitting at the table reading or knitting.

We went in today for a U/S check on baby, everything is great... next appointment is Tuesday unless I go into labor before then.

I have been experiencing contractions now for over a month, just not enough to send me into labor. Lots of time to finish some projects, like updating my website and planning some Pottery-2-Go ideas. Cleaned up Ally's bed and trash, and unpacking bisque for business.


I finished knitting the baby hat that matches the booties I did last month. I thought they'd be too big for the newborn, but now that we're overdue and seems the baby is enourmous it may fit within the next month.

I also made this Cuddly Bunny (pattern from lion brand) out of the fleece skein I bought not too long ago. It looks more like a dog, with big ears... but baby won't care it's soft and squishy.


Our neighbors momma cat had 3 kittens who are so sweet and cute... I was calling this one Rascal, since it's so frisky and attacking my shoe, my leg, my hair. It's not afraid of people by any means. Just love the little kittens! There's a picture of me holding two of the little ones, you can see me 'momma cat' still holding onto our little one too... so big!

We stopped by Leo's grave marker this morning to, watered the flowers and new grass. The second summer without his presence... it's not the same. Forever in our hearts and prayers.
