on tuesday, december 10th, we welcomed this little bundle of apprehensive joy into the world: we are calling her hazel grace. and she was 21 inches long and 7 lbs 15 oz. and was born at 11:20 am. i’ll post more details later, about how the whole thing actually went down. but, for now, here’s […]
my last night of pregnancy.
well. we went to the doc today. and they pretty much induce at 41 weeks. which is wednesday for me. so, we scheduled to be induced tomorrow. and the hospital gave us 430am as our time slot. thanks for that. i just packed up the kiddos to head to gramma’s. derek is getting me one […]
a dreaded quilt finish.
last year, for Christmas, derek got me a tula pink salt water fat quarter bundle. i decided i would use it to make a quilt that was a bit more time consuming. not my “usual” (see: wonky star). and would be more challenging. i settled on a kaleidoscope quilt. as i am often prone to […]
the week in (very few) pictures.
(i’m still pregnant. and bags are packed. and things are mostly clean. and so on. so, i am blogging.) we had thanksgiving at derek’s sister’s house. here’s the kidz table. it was very giggly. the cousins exchanged gifts (mostly because we got them a lego star wars advent calendar and we don’t have the family […]
the finish line. or not quite.
well. today is my due date for this third (and last) baby. and it’s not looking very promising that she will be here any time soon. isaac was a few days early. anna was a few days late. but they were both induced. i was hoping this girl would be at least on time, if […]
39 weeks and 1 day.
i am in my 40th week of pregnancy. which is supposed to be the last. except anna proved that to be wrong. i don’t feel like there’s a baby who is ready to make her arrival. just fat. and tired. and ready. also. it’s thanksgiving. we are getting ready to head to derek’s sister’s house […]
kitchen table. birthday. and general kid cuteness.
things have been kind of low-key around here. trying to wrap up loose ends and get ready for the craziness to arrive. i have been hating our kitchen table situation for a long long time. the cushioned chairs are all completely stained and gross, because i gave up on cleaning them a long time ago. […]
a girlier quilt for the girl.
i made a last minute decision to make a quick patchwork quilt for lid kid three. one that was a little more girlie. the first was a gender neutral-ish. anyhooo… i grabbed a stack of pinks, aquas, gray/topes and whites and got to work. it quickly grew and is a little bigger than i had […]
the superhero quilt
isaac is always super quick to remind me that he only has one quilt. he is always trying to smuggle my quilts into his room. so, i decided to make him one before the baby hit the scene. i went with superhero wonky stars. (disclaimer: i uploaded the photos from my phone to flickr, where […]
thirty seven.
today i’m thirty seven weeks of pregnant. three to go… i’m starting to be a little on the side of miserable. losing my breath when i bend over to pick something up. feeling like beached whale when it’s time to roll over in bed. having all of my organs squished. (mostly bladder and lungs). constantly […]
