Monday: two people

Two people have now commented on my pregnancy without any prompting or foreknowledge that I am pregnant. three cheers for looking pregnant.

Sunday: recap

So here's a quick recap of what's been happening...

Thursday I had a baby shower. It was a lot of fun and I got to see some family that I haven't seen in a while. (Sorry Pat...we only had one group picture)







Then an old friend of Ben and his wife were over for the weekend. It was fun to hear them reminisce about old times. We also played a ton of games, which was a lot of fun. (But I neglected to take any pictures.)

Saturday: people

There's been a lot of things going on and people around so I've been too lazy/busy/tired to write. Hopefully more tomorrow. :)

Wednesday/Thursday: natural disasters

the area in which we lived in NewYork is currently undergoing severe flooding. As in, 4 ft higher than the record flood.

I'm sad. I'm sad because I wish I could see it. But I more sad because I know that this is going to impact the lives of my friends. I've heard about feet of water in basements and cars underwater and our church was flooded. I saw pictures of some of the major shopping areas with the buildings half under water. The area there grew up by the rivers, and so there are a lot of buildings that will have lots of damage.

Tuesday: stars

So the "theme" of the nursery is going to be stars and planets. (Although I'm trying not to get too carried away with having a theme. Which is rather easy in this case because there aren't a ton of starry things and even fewer planet things.)

I was planning on taking a short break from quilting, but found myself contemplating the next quilt right away anyway. Oh well. So here is the cloth that I got today.

It will look something like this when finished, but the red will be brown and the stars will be colorful.

Monday: water

Flurry found a new water source.

Saturday: registering take 2

Today Ben and I adventured out to Babies R Us to continue registering. (As a side note, one of the reasons the store won over Amazon was that it gave us a good excuse to get Indian food. There aren't any Indian restaurants close by.)

It felt like this trip went a lot better than the one to Target. I don't think we were really more prepared, but maybe we stopped questioning ourselves so much and just scanned the stuff. We hope it is the right stuff...we did the best we could. I guess that's all we can tell ourselves. We're afraid that someone will get something as a shower gift and then it won't be useful, but if we questioned ourselves on everything we would get no where.

Afterwards we were exhausted and took a nap. Which means it's after midnight and I'm not really tired.

As a side note, I'll be going back to Target within a week or two to add a few things to that list so that it isn't so small.
