9 Sleeps Left

Wednesday I went in for my 38 week appointment. The doctor said I may have to be induced. But I know that he will let me go about 8 days past my due date before that becomes a plan of action, maybe more. We'll just have to wait and see. He said things look good still, my body just isn't getting things as ready at this point as he expects to see. I do tend to procrastinate. :)

Shannon and I recently visited Lowe's. We got a new curtain rod to replace the poorly measured and reported Walmart rod and when I got home, I put it up. Then finished the curtains. It's looking more and more like an organized room, which is unique for our house. :)

While at Lowe's we also devised a plan for a new set of Necromunda scenery. We are planning to use pegboard, dowels, and PVC pipe. But we need to buy a jigsaw (or something similar) to do it. Luckily, we can get a decent looking, small one, for about 50$.

Also, here is a more recent video of my big ol' belly. At about 16 seconds the right side of my belly goes bluub.

Hows it Going?

I'm an optical illusion.

Not so much baby...

Much baby...

I have 31 days left til my due date. Wow. It goes so fast. She moves around a lot now. Her movements started getting much stronger about 3 weeks ago. Now they are starting to get more defined. I can feel a little thing (foot?) jabbing at my lower-right rib and then a big thing (butt) pushing just to the left of my belly button. Oh, and my belly button is still an innie. Its a rather deformed looking innie, but still an innie.

I haven't worked on anything baby in a while. No quilt work in about 3 weeks. No room work in about 4 weeks. I did knit her legwarmers about 2 weeks ago. But that was the most recent. Also, we still don't have a name picked out. Hopefully we have some spell of brilliance over the next few weeks and come up with a wonderful name.

That Burning Sensation

This is the first discomfort I've had to deal with in quite some time (due to pregnancy, not malt-o-meal). I have this really uncomfortable burning sensation on the top of my abdomen. I'm sure it's just due to my skin stretching, but it's no fun. It started about 1 week ago and I've grown quite a bit this past week.

She moves so much more defined now. Last night, I think I felt a hand/foot. Instead of just a general quick movement, or a all around push, there felt like a little nub in the middle of my tummy. I'm sure it was an appendage. :) How cute.

I've only got 52 sleeps left until my due date. Crazy. I can't believe how fast time is going.

Only 73 Days

73 days until my due date that is. I know that there is a good chance the baby will be born before or after that date, but it's the best thing I can count down to.

I update that little slideshow on my side bar every week. But the pics are pretty small and hard to see (unless you actually click to go to Photobucket). So here is a bonus shot of what I look like now. Well, yesterday actually.


I definitely feel big now. It doesn't really get in the way yet, save for when I wash dishes. Our sink is kinda big and the faucet is kinda small. So between those two and needing to stand about 4" further away, I feel like I'm hunching over when I wash dishes.

But I've been feeling good. Still no real cravings. Still trying to work things out with work. Still making stuff for my Etsy shop, Nausicaa Distribution.

I'm totally enjoying the embroidery machine! I've made and sold one thing with it for my shop already. And Shannon and I have been working on more stuff. And we made a gift for Autumn, Julia's 3 month old. It came out pretty good. I'll post about it later, after she has time to get it (I mailed it to her on Tuesday).
