Baby Kimono #1

From Mason-Dixon Knitting, knit in Caron Simply Soft. Not sure yet if it's for me or for a friend. If it's for a friend, I'll add a blue border to the bottom to even out my stockinette stitch roll. If it's for me, I'll do something else to even out the roll. ;-)

Somebunny has dropped a little ... and Mommy's stomach and lungs are very grateful!

Of course my camera auto-focused on the curtain, but I never claimed to be all fancy with the photography techniques!

Sewing one of my maternity dresses before I no longer need maternity dresses. This could also be called, "Just WHAT is 'understitching?'"

Seven more weeks!

Hollyberry Booties

My last pair of booties for the Great Bootie Swap on Ravelry. These booties are made from KnitPicks Sock Garden in Hollyberry. They're so soft!

Yes, I spend a lot of time in the dining room/office area. Occasionally Clive joins me on the back of the tippy chair.

My friend Courtney and her mom hosted a baby shower for me down here in Houston. It was so sweet, and I had such a great time!

My work companion today: Bonnie decided the spot for propping up my feet should really be her chair.

Sipping on another mug of ginger tea, trying to calm my raging heartburn.

Working from home because getting out and being active makes the asthma act up badly. So for most of the work week, this is where I am ... usually with my feet propped up, though.

Bonnie loves bags

She keeps scratching the bottom of the paper bag while lying on the plastic bag.

A friend brought by a baby present today, a bag full of little baby clothes, bibs, and wipe-up goodies!

Only about eight more weeks to go ... SCARY and thrilling at the same time!

Booties to Swap (2)

My booties get ready to go out. The ribbon is optional but I think it turns the booties into the cutest things ever. I have one more pair to finish and send out!

All of my booties are knit with sock yarn in the Fleegle's Seamless Bottom-Up pattern. I about died with cuteness.

I modified the one pair in the back to make it a slightly larger size.

Asleep in the baby's room

Not the best picture, but I was trying to sneak it in.

Bunny & Teddy

My sister Jeannie gave the bunny to our Bunny. Teddy has been my bear-friend since I was two.

The rocking chair is one my mother bought to rock me to sleep.

Crib skirt

Either it really shrank in the wash, or this crib is longer than expected. This might need some sewing/surgery to make the edges better.

dormousie posted a photo:

Crib corner

The baby's crib is filled with some of my stuffed animals for now. We're trying to figure out where shelves can go to display some of them.

Mom will add some lambs, bunnies, and chicks to the walls when she gets here.

The ottoman needs SOMETHING to make it look better!

I'll be hanging curtains over the window, once I figure out which kind. Clive and Bonnie both love sitting in this window. Will and I like sitting in here because right now it's the coolest room in the house.

Baby's Closet

This is the only organized closet in the house.

Baby's Closet

We'll keep the little cabinet and the shelf in there to take up less floor space in the room. The cabinet will hold most of the clothes and things in bins.

Phillip's 21st Birthday

They had to pose with their empty margarita glasses (one each). They're ... goofy.

We went to a local Tex-Mex restaurant for my brother Phillip's 21st birthday. Yes, we sneaked in the waiters' surprise birthday song, complete with sombrero.

Al crocheted me a collection of baby booties in all different sizes and colors. This baby will have warm feet! :)

Third Seamless Booties

Fleegle's Seamless Baby Booties, worked to be a little larger than the pattern. I hope my swap partner likes them even if they're fraternal twins!

(They're on our car dashboard because I finished them on the way back to Houston from Dallas.)

The third set of booties for the Great Bootie Swap is almost done! Hurray for car trips. This set was kind of a pain because I dared to adjust the pattern for a larger size. I hate math.

The room at La Madeline. Perfect for the shower! No clean-up, no cooking, and just a wonderful time.

Oh, summer, how do I love you? Fresh, deliciously juicy watermelon -- you are the essence of summer. This Tennessee girl can't think of anything better than munching on chilled, salted watermelon, unless it's eating Grandma's blackberry cobbler.

This is a 30 weeks pregnant belly. The baby is finally getting bigger than some other things that won't quit growing. *ahem*

What?! I meant my thighs and butt! Maybe I should quit spending my spare time in the kitchen ... oh wait, my stomach is now squished and I can't eat much. Never mind!

The night the transformers blew in the neighborhood, Will had beer with the neighbor outside. I tried to find the flashlights so I could sit in a cool bath for part of the four hours, desperately trying to not start wheezing and overheating.

You cannot avoid making this face when a flash goes off in your eyes after an hour of pitch darkness. I r smrt.
