Projects finished:
Cutie baby pants (Ravelry Link), that make up the rest of the cute little outfit:
Oh my goodness I can’t wait to see my baby! I don’t know what I’m more excited for, dressing the baby, nursing the baby, holding the baby and never putting it down?!?! So much to do when the baby comes. That’s why I need to knit… NOW. I admit I’m one of those girls who oodles over a newborn until someone lets me hold it, then my mom seems to swoop in, but not this time, baby you’re mine! Oh and I guess Bj can hold it some too. After all he has been doing his research. He was so excited about this book that he tracked it down off of a Christian Bookstore website after Amazon was sold out:
It is so beyond funny. But he is taking it very seriously, which might be even funnier:
Now for projects in progress:
Ack! I will be cleaning jars until a) I finish b) the skin on my hands get so dried out they crack or c) I can’t take the nastiness anymore. Because spiderwebs + dead bugs + gummy labels + who knows what = gross. I have to pre-wash, then dishwasher wash, than post wash. It’s a mess. But it will be fun to organize them, ah organizing, I love it. *If you still want to guess the number, I not near finished, just do it on the post below this one so it’s all together.
Also in progress:
Plans baby! For the upstairs, oh ya, super excited about that one. The guy who drew the plans ended up putting two bathrooms upstairs, he was very anti parents/children sharing a bathroom. I think this is going to work out awesome, I can even really picture it since we have the one tiny bathroom now and it really is working fine. The only thing that I’m not a huge fan of is that I don’t have a shower and bathtub in the master bath, and I love my bath. Also I want the walk in closet to fit one of those pull down ironing boards that hides your iron in there, is possible. But overall I really like the whole thing. I just am going to have to work so hard to pick materials that don’t make this look new. I couldn’t stand it if it looked like someone plopped a new house on top of our cute little cottage. This is going to be in combination with a few other improvements on the main floor: gas to the stove, and a new range as well as updating the shower in the bathroom we use now. If we ever want to put a fume hood in above the stove we have to do while the upstairs is still being framed, and the bathroom downstairs has to be demolished a little bit to get pipes upstairs, so we’re going to fix the tub situation while we’re doing that. Now before you tell me I’m crazy to do this pregnant, I know already! Totally crazy! I don’t know what I’m thinking! Well I’m thinking that there is no where to put baby stuff, like at all. What were you going to say I should get rid of my craft room? Some one suggested this to me and I blocked their IP address from my blog (just kidding, but seriously, what were they thinking?)
So let the crazy pregnancy remodel begin*
Oh man, that only took me like thirty minutes and I still have 322 until I get to see the new X-Files movie. WHY DOES TIME ALWAYS HAVE TO GO SO SLOW?
*pending financing.
