What's been up

Wow, it has been a while since I've done a post. I would like to say that my lack of posting is due to the fact that I've been getting lots done, but it's not.

Things got crazy with finishing up school and then the baby shower, but then after that I haven't had much going on. Just a bout of laziness I guess.

After my 35 week check up, I got really sick for a few days. Its getting super difficult to sleep at night, so I guess I am still recovering from that.

We did make it to 37 weeks yesterday, yay! That means he is not a preemie. But then he scared the crap out of us last night and decided he wasn't going to move. Normally, as soon as I lay down at night he decides to do some acrobatics, but last night nothing happened. We tried everything we could think of to get him to move, laying in different positions, drinking ice water and juice, flashlight on the belly, giving him a little jiggle, walking around in the cold. Nothing.

So we went to the hospital at midnight and his heart beat was strong. After I had been sitting there with the monitors on for a little while he started going crazy and you could see my belly moving all over the place.

Hopefully that is the only scare that he gives us during the rest of the pregnancy.

So today is the baby shower at Hubby's work, yay. I should mention that I used to work there too and am not so thrilled to be going back there. But it's a double baby shower, another guy that works there is having a little girl about a month behind us I think.

Here is what I made for them:

The pinafore pattern is from bevscountrycottage.com

The little booties are from ravelry.com

The headband is made with a half-double crochet chain stitch and the same flowers from the booties.

I covered some regular dress shirt buttons for the back from creativejewishmom.com

She's going to look like a little ballerina


I also added one of those flowers to the front of the dress



I hope they like it! It is overly pink and girly for me, but since its a baby I think its ok.

I've got to go get my baby shower on now!
Happy Thursday!
