Wednesday: flaky

Our Internet is being super flaky. I'm not sure that this will post. I meant to send out some emails, but it was taking about ten minutes per email and it wasn't worth it.

Tuesday: embarrassing

So I've always been slightly prone to dizziness, especially when I'm standing still and not engaged in the conversation. Most of the time I can hide it.

but once in a while that just doesn't work, like today. I was with a team doing a big external audit. I realized once we were standing around that I also hadn't eaten breakfast...I had been expecting that some food was at the meeting but it was late. I hid it for a while by just crouching down. but then it was time to go and I wasn't going anywhere. I got the chair that was just vacated and within 30 seconds was mostly fine. Within a few minutes I was feeling well enough to walk again. But it was still embarrassing because it was with people I didn't know very well and they got worried.

At least I had a good excuse for once. I can blame a lot of things on being pregnant and people seem to understand. :)

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.
