Happenings

Here's whats been happening in our lives lately. :)

I had an appointment with my midwife on Monday. The baby is still head down which is such a relief for me. Lilli was stubborn when she was on the inside (Ok she still can be a little) ;) Anyhow, she did not want to turn head down. They finally had to turn her manually at 37 weeks. Apparently having her head in my ribs was just so dang comfy...for her. Anyhow, that is an experience I do not want to repeat! I have given birth without drugs 3 times and nothing compares to having them turn Lilli. Obviously I made it through just fine and if I had to I would have this one turned as well, it is much preferable to a C-section.
At any rate, so far this little one likes to be head down and we will just hope and pray he stays that way until he makes his arrival. (Which is coming up so fast, just about 9 weeks to go!!) Everything else looks great with the baby and I so we'll just keep on growing for another little while.

The next bit of news is so exciting and an answer to my prayers, literally. We found our missing hard drive!! All my pictures from the last 10 years or so are not lost as we had feared! So happy, seriously words cannot describe.

Last weekend, my dear wonderful friend Melissa was in town with her girls. It was so wonderful to spend time with her and the kids all had a great time playing together. I don't actually have any photos of the time they spent here but the memories are stored and that is what counts. :) Living in a state I didn't grow up in at all has one major disadvantage, I don't get to see my friends from teenage years. When people I know talk about how they got together with all their high school friends I do feel a little jealous, or sad or something. I think it makes it so my kids forget that I was young because they don't often get to see me with people from my past. To them life for me started when I became a mom because that is all they see evidence of. Anyhow, it is always so wonderful to me to reconnect with my past and most especially with Melissa. It was a short visit but still very nice. Hopefully we can see each other again soon.

I have also made a little more progress with my quilt. I basted it together so now all that needs to be done  is the quilting of the layers and the binding. I will post pictures as soon as it is finished.

On a side note, if anyone is interested in a rabbit we have one we need to get rid of. He is attacking our other male rabbit trying to fight over our female and so he is having to stay caged which I hate. So if you are interested.... :)

I guess that's about it right now. I'm sure I'll think of something interesting to write soon, but wether or not I actually get on and write it is a whole other thing. We shall see.
