I am an idiot
My little boy napped for three-hours yesterday during the day…twice…and I did not; as a result he was a lot happier to stay awake until 3h00 than I was. He had a pretty solid sleep (for Isaac) from 3 – 7 with only a little fussing, and I’ve napped on and off with him this a.m…but apparently I don’t learn from my mistakes since he’s napping right now and I obviously am not. On a much more exciting note…he is napping IN his basket, no ON my or Jason’s chest, AND he woke up to fuss and settled himself back down WHILE remaining IN the basket…yay Isaac!

road trip!
we took Isaac to Ottawa on Sunday to meet my dad at the airport. Since we’re running on Isaac time now we didn’t get out of here until 11h00, but we had a nice visit with my godmom, her brother and his family.

frustration
No, not with motherhood…things are great on that front… my darn blog is frustrating me! I have written at least two great posts that are nothing without pictures and suddenly I can’t get any pictures to display on my blog…Argggg! Off to nap, maybe I’ll try later tonight.
And the Winner is….
Eva at surprised suburban wife, the first guess! Isaac James Towle was born on June 16th at 10h51, weighing in at 7 lbs 14 oz and 19 1/2 inches in length. More on the birth story to come, for now I’m going to eat and take a nap; the little man fed on and off from 12h00 – 5h00 last night and I got maybe one hour of sleep, but things are going well and both mom and babe are happy and healthy. Eva I’ll send you an e-mail to get info about what you want for Megan a soaker or longies.
Transformation…still pregnant.
When picking up our new to us nursery furniture I came across a used glider that looked nice, but it was blue. I convinced Jason that if we liked the glider we could pick it up and I could refinish it. I’ve never done anything like it before, but I told him with confidence…it would be no problem; then I made him come with me to Walmart (I know, I know, but sometimes that’s where I can get the fabric I really want) to pick out an acceptable fabric (he has better taste than me in furniture). So here are some pics of said glider:
BEFORE
INTENTIONS
FINAL RESULTS
we’re pretty happy with how it turned out…now hopefully the chosen material will with stand the use it will see in the near future. On the bright side, I already know it wipes clean pretty easily and I pricked my finger with sewing the back cushion and bled all over the darn thing. Stay tuned for more nursery pics coming soon.
BTW…no baby yet, so the no baby give away is still open, just leave a comment with your guess of sex and birthday for Baby T and we’ll see who is closest.
Pregnancy Update
While first and foremost…yup…still pregnant (not that we’re getting impatient over here or anything). I still feel great and am able to walk everyday; although with current heat we’re more inclined to take the dogs for a swim that to walk, unfortunately the water while wade-worthy…is not swim worthy for humans at the moment. I have been having some serious Braxton-Hicks contractions at night, but nothing that keeps me up and nothing that feels like a real contraction must feel like. I had a doctors appointment on yesterday and he said all looks well and if I make it to my appointment next week than they’ll do an internal check and an ultrasound to see how much fluid is around baby. He said he’ll let me go 10 days overdue with no intervention, but that’s it. So this progressive thoughts for us over here and hope I don’t make it to next weeks appointment.
Still no baby give away!
I’ve been so busy keeping busy with my mom (and not thinking about my impending due date) that I haven’t been keeping up with my blogging. Just a quick note to announce my first ever give away! For those that are unaware I am due June 15 with my first child; my husband thinks it’s a girl, I think it’s a boy. I’m offering up a handmade soaker or pair of sweater pants (both made from recycled wool sweaters) to the comment that guesses the correct sex of the baby and the closest to the actual delivery date. For those of you who don’t cloth diaper the soaker or longies (sweater pants) would look darling over a disposable diaper too, and so as not to exclude anyone, if you don’t have little ones you can request a dozen hankies instead. It’s pretty easy leave me a comment with your guess of sex and a delivery date, correct sex and closest date wins (be sure to leave an e-mail address or e-mail me with your address so I can get back to you). After I’ve had the baby and a respectable time has passed (give me a week maybe) I’ll contact the winner and you can tell me if you want a soaker (short pants), pants, or some hankies or cloth wipes. If you want the soaker or pants you’ll just have to send me the measurements for pants that currently fit your little one and I’ll whip up a pair and send them your way.
Sew much to do…
I still have a huge list of projects to work on. I really don’t know how mom and I have been filling our days, but we’ve had no problem doing so. It has been great having her here, and Jason’s taken a few days leave here and there (since he needs to burn it before course starts); I haven’t been counting down the days till baby like I thought would. In fact, I can’t believe it’s already the 6th of June…really where has the time gone.
